Hello people,

First of all, I hope you are all doing well, for you are all my brothers and sisters, muslim or not.

For a while I have thought of becoming muslim. And with a while, I mean around three-four years. I have thought of becoming an Orthodox christian too, but after following a year of theology classes I have come to the conclusion that Islam is, theologically speaking, more reasonable (to me).

Now, the problem that I have is that I am not accustomed to Islamic rituals whatsoever. I have no muslims in my family nor do I have an Arabic background (I'm western European). Yes, I believe in God and the oneness of God.

But I do not know how to pray. I got some muslim friends but I am afraid to tell them that I want to become muslim, because then there is no way back. I am quite a person with quickly changing thoughts, hence my question here. Yesterday I layed in my bed, and as a flash, I felt the urge that I NEED to pray, in order to come in Heaven (or Jannah, whatever you prefer). Plus, my parents are very hostile to Islam.

All in all, sorry for this chaotic post, but I have no idea what I should do.

> I am not accustomed to Islamic rituals

Well, you're in luck! You've thought about becoming Orthodox Christian, yes? Well, compared to O.C., Islam is practically devoid of ritual.

A few very simple prayer positions and, since you'll be surrounded on all sides by brothers in Islam, then you can easily watch and follow their lead.

Muslims are very, very welcoming of new people. Just go to the mosque and say, "I'm new." and they will instruct you and show you the ropes. There will even be a brother who becomes sort of an instructor who will personally take it upon himself to guide you.

>there is no way back

Well, yes, you can always renounce Islam; but why would you want to join something with the thought of wanting a way out?

>parents hostile to Islam

Part of Jihad is the struggle against what others may think of you.

We already have a thread like this, stop spamming them.

I think a better idea would be to find someone from this board to walk you through the basic stuff and you can ask them. Since you said you are afraid to ask in real life you can always be anonymous and ask.I am sure if you everyone here is willing to help. (btw I am talking like be friends on steam/skype/facebook which is a more direct approach )
