    Peace

    I haven't read the Quran completely I have read a little bit.

    It is interesting that you have made a conversion having done such. Maybe test the waters before taking a dip?

    Some translations could be trying to read due to the language, or maybe it's the way the themes are presented in the quran. I'm good to go with Yusuf Ali's translation. Maybe before you buy one you should check the available translations on-line to see which one is easier to read for you.

      I was brought up a Christian, but my family was not overly practicing. We would go to Church on the special days. I became Muslim because that's where path took me. I haven't read the Quran completely I have read a little bit. I do find it a little hard to read at times, and that's me being honest. I need an really easy version of it to read, so if anyone knows of a really easy to read version please let me know.

      I find certain parts of Islam hard to understand, but guess that's cause of the way I was brought up. At the same time I believe in freedom that exists in ones self.

      Thank you for your advice The Nabi )

      Welcome to the forum. Try downloading the translation of the Quran in the home page of this site (its on the right had side called message). Also, many articles you can read on different topics. When I first discovered this site I started reading the articles, I have to admit my head was spinning as I could not believe what was written. I kept on thinking 'this is going against what I believed in the past, but its logical and feels right'. I also have to admit as I read and told others what I read, I was asked to stop believing the rubbish I was fed and that Christians and Jews wanted to throw Islam into chaos. I was also told that I was reading the wrong Quran etc. When pointing out to people that what they are saying is not from the Quran and from other books, they argued with me that I have no knowledge of arabic and should go learn it. I have to say that many of these conflicts came from my family lol I stopped talking or bringing up the topic of religion now with them as it caused to many proplems but continue to read articles and extend my knowledge on Islam. Have fun and may God guide you in the right path.

      Peace

      Hope

          Well I still am a Christian but not a traditional one, I am a God-alone Christian that accepts no human as a god. The reason I still call myself a Christian is because I believe in the message that God gave Jesus even though I do not believe that Jesus was anything other than a prophet. I am what I jokingly call a Christlim or a Mustian.
