Greetings to all readers,
If you want to convert to Islam, you need to say, by yourself: "there is no God but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God". This makes you a Muslim, and all the Muslims are your brothers, and you are their brothers, and you become part of the nation of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), part of his Umma. Then, if you want to be a practicing Muslim, you may learn about Islam, and you may go to a mosque and talk to its Imam (the leader of the prayers) about it.
I am a practicing Muslim. I am not a scholar or someone holding some kind of degrees in Islam but I am very well versed in Islam. I would like that this thread serves the purpose of answering questions one may have about Islam. I will try to answer your questions. This is for those who are not just interested in all the stereotypical answers given by scholars of Islam and found in books of theirs. This is for those want to have answers from practicing Muslims and see how they feel about their religion, Islam. This is for those who have criticism of the religion of Islam and think it is not right and not perfect. I welcome all criticism and look forward to responding to it. However, I will not respond to insults. Please feel comfortable participating in this thread, and kindly receive my deep gratitude.
