Answer 3

Aww.. You're welcome.. You didn't need to lie though, i would have been more than happy to teach you anything you wanted to know about Islam and what i know about the religion. It's great to hear that you're interested and cosidering to convert to Islam. If you want any friendly help on your way, i'd be happy to help you out, just email me.

I'm glad that you have researched into Islam yourself, but i would still like to warn you that just how you have pretended to be a muslim, other people could be on here too and teaching the wrong things. So reading the Quran and Hadith (available in english too) would be the next step to do and better your understanding.

Hope you have learnt what you wanted and gained a better understanding of Islam. =D Email me if you'd like to have some extra friendly help from a Muslimah, it's better to learn by still having fun and having someone to turn to for help.

Fi'aman Allah ..x

Answer 15

There is no sin at all in hiding your identity in order to learn Islam. What you are doing is very good actually! =D Do more research and if you feel there is anything strange about this religion always refer it to scholars or people who know about his wonderful religion. Islam is the religion of logic, and many people embraced it because they were astounded by it's logic and the nice way of life that brings the heart closer to one's Lord. One other point: We are the ones who should be thankful to for we were ordained by Allah to spread the message of Islam to any one so that we become witnesses on others and the messenger (pbuh) may become a witness upon us. Thanks and I appreciate your way of thinking! Keep researching! XD peace to you

Answer 16

and what have we taught you?:)

i am happy to hear that. inshallah the world can see that to

you can learn more by buying some islamic books to and you can even go to a mosque and they can give you free classes. thats what i did before and after i reverted to islam

i see, well yeah i did the same and then when i was sure i started wearing hijab and little by little i changed everything. inshallah everything will work out for you .   but sometimes its better to go to the source like quran and hadith with its translation becuase sometiems there are muslims that may have a different opinion.

Answer 17

There's no need to confess or anything as that which you did of deception does not affect us but affects yourself.

Islaamically deception is prohibited as the Prophet peace be upon him said:

من غش لنا فليس منا

((Whoever deceives then he is not from us))

You did not have to act as a Muslim to get answers from Muslims, you could ask about Islaam and learn about Islaam as a non-Muslim. Surely this would have been better for you and I am glad you have learned something from your experience with Muslims, although I dont agree that Yahoo answers is a place to learn anything about Islaam.

EDIT: Please don't take what I said as an offense, I do not intend any harshness or offense in my answer.

If you are interested in learning about Islaam, do not be shy to ask about sources you can learn from.

Answer 18

Well....ok....we'll let you off....this time...lol

Answer 19

hey sis, its ok,

chill!

Answer 20

awwwww...its okay...

well according to me...

thats okay as long as yoyve not gave people wrong info on purposeor you have dissed Islam...

and its great you are planning to convert to islam

Answer 21

Well I personally am not offended by you doing this. I'm glad that there are people out there who are bothered about knowing what Muslims are really like and not just believing all the bad stuff. So I for one am pleased you conducted your own research.

However, as a Muslim, I would urge you to become a Muslim, say the Islamic oath and then you can carry on learning and gaining more knowledge. It's not like you'd be comitting a sin or anything if you did not know much about Islam and still took the oath. The best reason I can give for you taking the oath now rather than later is you never know what may happen in life, you don't want to wait and take your time doing something when you don't know exactly how much time you have left. You would make a good Muslim because you have the drive, need and want to learn about Islam, thats always the best starting place. Don't leave it too long. Who knows what may happen. If in your heart you feel you would love to be a Muslim and you want to be a Muslim then go for it. You can learn along the way.

Honestly, I feel that there is so much to learn, it really takes a lifetime. I mean there is the standard everyday life stuff that you can cover pretty much easily, like in a few years, but the more intense side of the religion, like understanding Qur'an and Hadith, that takes longer, much longer, but that's the fun of it. It'd be boring if one could learn Islam in a day. And there wouldn't really be much to practice is that were the case.

So, Masha'Allah you're doing a great job. Keep it up. May Allah show you the reighteous path in life and bring you much happiness and peace, Ameen.

Welcome to Islam.
