Hi,

I started developing my knowledge of Islam and I seem to be discovering something new every day. This thing I am battling with at the minute is contact prayer. What does it mean? should I be doing it? Does the quran actually advocate the ritual prayer? ETC.

This all started 10 years ago when I was very ignorant and my friend point out a fact about halal meat. The common misconception about meat that it has to be slaughtered a particular way invoking Allah's name at the time of the slaughter etc. Since then, I feel like I've taken the red pill (like in the matrix) and everything has been a lie!

I'd love to use this forum to discuss and discover for myself what Islam means to me.
