Hi, I'm new to this site and am looking into Islam with the possibility of converting. I was raised in a non-religious family but have always felt drawn to religion. I became a Christian at 17 years old and was active in that faith for a long time. But over the last 12 years I've became disillusioned with the church with its falling away from bible teachings and dismissal of its teachings.
Over the last few weeks I've been thinking a lot about Islam and how it seems to be a faith that keeps to its teachings and strives to develop the whole person into a true follower of Allah. I work in a school and we had a visit to a Mosque, I cannot describe the feeling of peace I had there, this made me begin to seriously search and look into the teachings of Islam.
I have made contact with my local Islamic Cultural centre and hopefully I will be calling in next week to talk to the Imam.
I've come to this site to discover more about Islam, to find answers to questions that I have and to meet Muslims and hear about their journey in Islam.
Please accept my apologies if I offend anyone with a question, I have no intention of doing so but in my ignorance if I do post something please point out my error and help me learn the truth.
