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.
My dear Muslim brother, congratulations on
your being blessed with guidance. We ask Allaah to make you steadfast until death.
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.
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.
“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)”
[al-Inshiqaaq 84:6 – interpretation of the
meaning]
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.
Try to do your best to learn what Allaah
commands, and do it, and what He forbids, and avoid it.
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.
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].
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.
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.

And important note that we want to discuss and share with you it is about Quran reading and doing Quran recitation online to understand it, Ramadan is the month when the beautiful the Holy Quran has been revealed. A miracle by the creator of the worlds, Allah (SWT) Should we not glorify him by reading quran the gift he has sent down for us and learn Arabic Quran by heart to feel the power of it and we as Muslim should try to learn quran with translation to understand it wile we do Quran memorization and let our heart fill will tears of glory and wash away our sins in the month of Ramadan many people teach quran and we should participate in teaching quran as much as we could because it is the noble cause to spread the word of Allah and the quran tutor will get the reword in the day of judgment “Will they not meditate on the Quran, or are there locks on the hearts”, Quran for kids , Surah Muhammad, Verse 24. Here is an interesting tajweed quran reciter where you can listen to quran from top Koran reciters and read the Koran with different translation and plz link to it and share it to promote islam
