    Peace to all of you,

    I am an inquriy. I was sent this site from a friend. I like the format. lol

    Anyhow I was baptized a Catholic and made my first communion. That was the extent of my faith walk from about 9 to 24 or so. I knew there was a God I just didn't pray much, go to church etc. Anyhow when I got out of the Army I found myself one day in Church and so I came back to my faith of birth.

    I married not in the church. I didn't know you had to. ops To top it my wife was previously married so my wife could not be baptized. This made her upset and me pretty ticked off.

    We left the church and visited many other Christian churches. Some I left because of moral issues etc. Well how I stumbled on Islam is beyond me. D

    Anyhow I have been reading the Qur'an and talking with many knowledeable people on Islam. I am just not sure yet. There seems to me and you can tell me if I am wrong. A lot of rules to follow. I hope to learn a lot from you all. Insha'allah you have a wonderful day.

      peace Trajik,

      Firstly, welcome.

      Secondly, please dont confuse traditional Islam, with islam (compliance) based on al quran (the reading), they are worlds apart.

      In the latter, people are encouraged to grow. We are not to implement every single rule in 'al quran' straight away. We only do this when we are ready. When we have attained the status of iman (trust/conviction). In the meantime, one must turn towards, seek knowledge and lead a righteous life.

      To read an article which discusses the perhaps subtle yet crucial differences in stages of growth, please see the following article

      http//www.free-minds.org/articles/gods_system/mumin.htm

      To get some good study done, try the following

      Use the 'search' function at the top of this board, it is excellent.

      Use the following site for study www.studyquran.co.uk

      Wakas

      All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                  Peace Trajik, and welcome,

                  You stated

                  There seems to me and you can tell me if I am wrong. A lot of rules to follow.

                  I keep these 2 at the top of my list

                  3159 ? Once you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah. Allah loves those who do their best and then trust in Allah.

                  569...whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, and helps people, for them shall be no fear from without, nor shall grief touch them from within.

                  To me, belief in Allah means belief in One. Belief in the Last Day means belief in recompense, or cause-and-effect, or karma, the consequences of our actions. While helping people helps develop the soul, to prime it for the next phase, to purify it.

                  Best wishes in your journey.

                  Peace,
                  Tay

                        Peace trajik and welcome.

                        I am an inquriy.

                        You are doing great thing but please do not forget =1]1736.
                        To find the truth you should examine your parents belief and then seek for proof for purifucation of Quran not by heart and emotion feeling but by solid reasonable signs for our era.
                        Peace.

                                      Salaam Br Trajik,

                                      Don't be too sad, I want this divorce because me and my husband don't fit together.we have tried everything but now we're going to put an end to it.

                                      My husband is 10 years older than me and that can also be a reason.I have changed so much since we get married but he hasn't.

                                      He don't respect my way of life because I don't follow sunni islam anymore and I can't live a life like that.

                                      Take Care!

                                      Peace be upon you
                                      Sis Majidah

                                          Salaam Br Trajik,

                                          I follow only God Alone Quran Alone.

                                          The hadiths sucks and make me very upset.

                                          I don't want anyone to say or order me to do something, if I don't do things from my heart I rather will not do it.

                                          Peace
                                          Sis Majidah
