Asalaamu alaikum and Eid Mubarak -
I have an online friend who has been studying Islam for a while now and is ready to take shahadah. He went to the masjid near his home and told the imam what he plans, and the imam sent him to a sister! Of course the sister couldn't speak to him in private, so now this man is confused and doesn't know where to go.
I won't go into my feelings on this, but I am asking if someone can point me (and him) in the right direction to a masjid with an imam who is interested in helping someone who wants to embrace Islam? A masjid on the sunnah inshallah on Manhattan's East Side, though he said any part will do.
I appreciate your help, jazakumAllah khairyn.
