Are you a Islam...what do you call them...teacher, priest, or leader?

Question

I want to change my religion, but I need to know about Islam first. I read a little but I wish I had a friend who's a Islam, true super Islam person to guide me. I'm a girl.

Imam, I sent you a message, it was me...nas ... Carol ... please understand. Thank you.

Thank you all, I found my Imam. But I will write you emails so that I could add you in my book.

To all that I emailed, it was me.......nas.....Carol.......and I hope you got them. I'm sorry that I asked so many questions. I was just freaking out cause I couldn't feel God around me anymore. I didn't know what to do or who to ask, it was 4 am and I couldn't call anyone. But thank you.

Answer 1

As Salaamu Allahkum

I can understand what you maybe feeling right now.For years I knew that I did not agree with all the teachings of Christianity. Although my Grand Parents were very strong in the church (Deacon and Sunday school teacher) there were still questions they could not answer for me. I began to study Islam while in high school. Then I would study more on my own till I returned to college where I took more classes.

In Islam I have found all the answers to my questions. Here are some links to information on the net as well as some books that you may find of interest. They have all helped me.

If you need to talk you can email me through my profile.

The best thing that I can suggest though is for you to actually vistit a Musjid. There you will find women to actually talk to and a Imam to guide you. I wish you well on your journey may Allah be with you

Answer 2

Google Ali Sina challenge

and learn what a true convert has to say about islam

1 convert from islam should be equal to 1000 plus converts from anything else because once you leave islam, you maybe killed, your family has to abandon you, you are basically made to be the worst possible enemy of islam that must be forced to convert back to islam or silenced even if it requires killing you. With that said, it is a wonder that you ever hear even one story of someone leaving islam.

But they are leaving islam in droves, just google leaving islam

the world must embrace those who leave islam and share the secrets of the cult with the world because they ARE the greatest enemy to islam and islam knows it.

Answer 3

If you want someone to actually teach you about islam - that isn't here to smother you in propaganda - then you can contact me through email. I can refer you to books, sites, and various teachings that will help you understand more. By the way - we are called Muslims - not Islams. Islam is the religion. A Muslim is the one submits to Allah (follows islam).

Or you can go to a local masjid (mosque) and ask the Imam (the man who leads the prayers - something like a pastor) to give you some books because you are interested.

Answer 4

I think Islam is the religion Muslims believe in.

Answer 5

The person would be a Muslim, formerly called moslems in western world. Go to your library and read on the subject. Whatever religion you are investigating should be studied using rationality and you should steer away from radicals (super muslims, super jews, super christians, etc.).

You should approach any new religion with sincerity and not join any religion or group just because "...it is the flavor of the month."

Answer 6

Imam

Answer 7

Can I also add that if there is anything you wish to know/learn about islam, please do not hesitate in getting in touch with me. I would consider it an honour to help you.
'The one whom Allah guides, no one can misguide; and the one whom Allah misguides, no one can guide!'

Allah grant you good hidayaah. This goes even to Lyla. You are really lucky!

Answer 8
