Praise be to Allaah.

Praise be
to Allaah first and last, and thanks be to Him always. He blesses whomsoever He
will with guidance, and deprives whomsoever He will of happiness. He saves His
slave from misguidance and supports His close friends until the Hour
begins.Â
My dear
Muslim brother, congratulations on your being blessed with guidance. We ask
Allaah to make you steadfast until death.Â
It was a
great achievement when you decided to embrace Islam and give up the misguidance
in which you had grown up and the shirk association of others with Allaah which
is forbidden. We welcome you as a new brother in Islam and we welcome you as a
visitor to this site.Â
First of
all, we would remind you that in this world man passes through great tests and
trials, which require him to be patient and steadfast, and to stand firm until
death. Â
“O man! Verily, you
are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or
bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you
did)â€
al-Inshiqaaq
84:6 – interpretation of the meaningÂ
One of
the trials with which Allaah tests His slaves is the enjoining of obligations
and duties such as prayer, fasting, zakaah, Hajj and other acts of worship, and
the things that He forbids them to do such as lying, cheating, adultery,
homosexuality and all other forbidden things, so as to see the sincere believer
who obeys the commands of Allaah, so that He may admit him to Paradise, and the
liar and hypocrite who does not obey Allaah, so that He may send him to
Hell.Â
Try to do
your best to learn what Allaah commands, and do it, and what He forbids, and
avoid it.Â
There are
many commands, and many prohibitions, and it is impossible to list them or
explain them all in one place. But we refer you to what is mentioned in this
site of ours of questions that deal with the teachings of Islam, so you can
look at it and read what it says, and may Allaah benefit you thereby.Â
With
regard to what you mention in your question about having to learn Arabic, this
is true, but you do not have to learn the whole language, rather just what you
need for religious purposes. See question no. 6524. The fact that you do not
know Arabic does not justify your not praying, because you can learn what you
need for prayer in a short period of time, and until you learn it you should
still continue to pray regularly on time, and pray according to what you are
able to do. “Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope†al-Baqarah 2:286.
Â
With
regard to how to pray, you will find the answer to that on this site, under
Question no. 13340. See also 8580, 2427, 11040.Â
Finally
we advise you to look for an Islamic Centre in your city, and to keep company
with Muslims who
practise their religion. Do not forget to read trustworthy websites, and try to
benefit from them as much as you can. We will also be happy to help you and
others like you who are looking for things that will benefit them, and we will
offer whatever advice we can, so keep in touch with us. May Allaah protect you
and take care of you.
