thirst for knowledge

[Terah]

hello, all!

i am a 44 year old nurse in texas, working in a wonderful hospital here. I have met several people who have become friends that are Muslim. And because I want to know more about them, I have begun reading and asking questions. I have believed since I was around 14 or 15 years old, that Allah, Buddah, and such were all different names for God. And that Muhammed and Jesus were prophets sent from God. I was raised Catholic but have always questioned everything. I went to both a Catholic and a Baptist church when I was in high school. Always seeking more information. I have read books on the Torah and tried to read on Buddhism.

And so here I am. Seeking more and more. I don't know if this is my path. But I thirst for knowledge. I hope I am not intruding.

Welcome Terah,

Its a pleasure to have you here. You'll find plenty of beneficial information here, just browse through the forum. From what I see there are plenty of people on this forum who were not raised in a muslim family but embraced Islam at some point in their life, including myself All praises be to Allah. So we can relate to you in many ways god willing.

And please Terah dont think your intruding, we're realy happy to have you here.

Feel free to ask anything that comes to mind, and god willing we will try our best to answer you.

Take care,

UmmTaymiyyah
