Asalam Alakum,

I have been an ordained Christian Minister for decades; however, I find myself being drawn to Islam over the past year. I have ordered a copy of The Noble Quran and a Muslim Prayer book and have called the number for the Islamic Society in my town a few times, but no one has called me back as of yet. How can I learn of Mohammed (Sal Allah o alaihe wasalm) and what Allah (The Most Beneficit and The Most Merciful) expects of me? ] Shukran, Frank

I hope you will find the righteous path insha Allah. These days with technology and Muslim communities everywhere--I think access to islamic books about every thing about the Prophet (saw) and so on is easy. I suggest that you go down to islamic society's office yourself; that way you will meet with them face to face and also expediate the search for islamic books. Or, please use he intenet to buy books and videoes and check online free videoes too. Islam is not limited to the islamic society in your town; they are found evry where. Please make some effort to find assistance some other way and don't give up.

Frank, I hope you will make...

3) You can also visit the following site and use the chat function when you have specific questions:

4) The following website is better than your local place of worship, in helping you to get books and personal help. Try giving them a call.

*At your local masjid (mosque), usually you have to show up on a Friday during the congregational prayer in order to get help or speak to the manager. Try these other links first.

shukram for the welcome

I appreciate all the great links and have bookmarked them. I especially liked the link that A Stranger gave which recites The Noble Quran. It will be very helpful. I will also go to the Islamic Society in the next few days. I hope to learn The Noble Quran better than I know the Bible which I have studied for well over thirty years. I was always so impressed with Muslims who could recite The Noble Quran from memory. Well, it is getting late; so, I'll say goodnight. Shukram for the warm welcome

As-salamu Alaykum brother.

First, let me say welcome to the forums at TTI, I have found this to be a wonderful resource, as I am sure that you will as well. Second, as a former minister myself, and you will find a few of us floating around here, I understand that what you are experiencing can be a difficult and even painful process. Learning that what we have devoted so many years to was not the complete truth, can be very hard. You will find speed bumps in the road, however, it is also very rewarding. Stick with it.

Let us know how your visit to the Islamic Center goes, and feel free to ask us questions. This is a great place to learn, and an opportunity to see the diversity that exists within the Islamic community. You will find a variety of opinions and attitudes, yet we all consider ourselves brothers and sisters. There is nothing else like it.
