Ok, no wahala. I don't need to start giving you long sermons, why? It took you some degree of introspection to get to the level of creating this thread not forgetting God's guidance.

Having said that, I think you will find this link useful http://muslimconverts.com/islam/newmuslimguide.htm

Don't mind the term "convert", focus on the knowledge there instead.

I hope I have been of assistance.

May Allah help you. Take it step by step. Don't rush.

If you have any Questions, feel free to send me an email at tbaba1234@yahoo.com

Brother, always move with the good muslims brothers and have fear of Allah all the time. Believe that it is only Allah can provide. Ma salam.

I agree with thirty. You need to walk and live among people who would help strenghten your faith.

I hope Allah guides you aright.

surah al-Ikhlas,,Surah “Al-Ma'un,Surah “Al-Kjausar,Surah “Al-Ma'un” al'fathiha

thanks y'all. I did a good research on wat to say while praying. I understand its important to recite diff Surahs, with diff rakas, but dis r they ones i remr,bered,during ma childhood days,.Surah al-Ikhlas,,Surah “Al-Ma'un,Surah “Al-Kjausar,Surah “Al-Ma'un” al'fathiha,. Are these enough'.
I recently joined d female prayer group'asalatu', in my neighbourhood.i try picking from all they their recietation,.but getting only few.there's dis 10 recitation they make,i don't understand any,seem difficult.i'll appreciate more help.tnkx

^Most Alasalatu groups have a standard issue Prayer book that has Surats in Transliteration. Those should help your immediate recitation of short Surats. I will look for more online content you can use tomorrow insha Allah.

Don't get discouraged, you are learning slowly if you add steady to it, you can achieve much.

thankxx tunji.may Allah reward you

^Ameen and you too.

These are the salat prayers spoken in Arabic, with a few duas included. So you should learn the pronunciation first then learn to make the necessary number of rakas for each prayer.

Salaam sis, try and read this book 'The Ideal Muslimah'.

Your environment also matters a lot. You need to get close to muslims who would help you grow in faith and stay away from those who have nothing to offer in your journey to righteousness.

salam pals,. I'v been going tru all ur guidelines n suggestions,. Am growing,but quite slow too.i have a few questions to ask,,
as a muslim sister,i know 'm not allowed to pray during my monthly cycle,.does this restrict me from going into d mosque toogoing to prayer meetings and vigils.
What do i do when my flow comes whilst praying in d mosque.
2).can i pray in another lang,other than arabic.
3)must i cover my head outside d mosque?(i understand d hijab usage,but does it make me a real muslim)??.Thankx.

^Salam, om menstruation read the following:


Menstruating women entering the mosque to listen to the khutbah
http://islamqa.info/en/ref/33649

Ruling on a menstruating woman entering rooms etc. attached to the mosque
http://islamqa.info/en/ref/183

The Ruling on a Menstruating Woman Reading Supplications
http://www.fatwaislam.com/fis/index.cfm?scn=fd&ID=284

As for your other questions, I may address them later but I think you should read this thread, you will learn a lot from it Insha Allah.

Curious About Islam,facts About Islam.
https://www.nairaland.com/359506/curious-islamfacts-islam

Your prayers should be said in Arabic. Don't fall for the temptation of not doing so, relax and you will find it easy by the grace of God. Don't get overanxious over it.

Thankx tunji,and to everyone who's taken their time to answer my questions..may Allah(SWT) reward y'all abundantly..
I'll read thru d links u'v posted..i'll be back with more questions..pls dnt hesitate to respond Wen i call..tnkxxx

^ God-willing we shall answer your questions.

Welcome back home, sister.
Don't be discouraged, even if your progress seems slow, the biggest deal is your intention.

I am rooting for your success!
Salaam.

Welcome back to Islam my sister, may Allah make your journey to rediscovery a easy one. As a (re)convert myself, the biggest challenge I faced were the self-righteous people trying to make me realise my 'mistake'. Telling me all stories of gloom and doom and the likes. Don't let people like that waver your faith.
If you've haven't memorised Ayat-ul Kursiyu, I suggest you do so. Its very important when making special Dua and supplications. Its also a very strong weapon of the believer against shaytan and his agents.
Hope you give us updates on your progress and challenges through your journey .

In The Name of The One and Only God, The Eternal, The Righteous, The Owner Of Sovereignty, The Lord Of Majesty And Bounty, The Self-Sufficient, The Supreme, The Self-Subsisting In Whom All Subsist. The Peace Be Upon You, Everyone.


May Allaah richly bless you all for your blessed desires of success for this backsliden sister whom has asked for help. May The Most Merciful, The Most Compassionate bless her efforts. dominique has asked our sister to memorize the Ayat-ul Kursi which I've found in a three part video. We have some brothers that can help with the Arabic, I pray that they look in on this thread.

Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).

Congrats. May Allah continue to guide us.
This is the greatest giver of hope, in my opinion

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." Qur'an 39: 53

BTW there is a book for female converts/reverts. It can also be used by all Muslim ladies
A Hand Through the Door for My New Sister by Yasmin bint Ismail

Do you know it? If you do, did you read it? If yes, did you find it useful? If yes, I can volunteer to arrange to get her one copy

We also need to get her Fortress of the Muslim by Darussalam - a small comprehensive book of dhikr (words of remembrance) and dua (supplications). It is very cheap ($2 or less than N500 in Nigeria). We can add that to what to get for her
