Help me find the way

He has seen my longing and searching . He knows what I stand for . I have falling in love with islam . I think if you want to live close to your Creator ; islam is the right religion . Only the praying five times a day makes a revolution in your life ! But , of course , I as a person my whole life living outside the muslim community feel that some expressions are foreign to me .

Asalaamu Alaykum

Islam is perfect because it is the religion from our Creator.

Muslims are not because we are only human beings.

If you have taken the Shahada then you must learn to pray and at the stipulated times because this is a command from Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala. Baby Muslims (reverts) will think this will be a daunting task but if you have real fear and love for Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala then it will be so easy to do.

I suggest that you read the Hadiths of the Prophet (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) because it will teach you how to practice your deen. I recommend sunnah.com and for reading the Qura'n try quran.com.

As a side note if I could just say this for encouragement, I used to love my sleep and I was never an early morning person but now that I am a Muslim waking up at 3am or 4 am is no problem for me, once one has hidaya and taqwa then everything else will be easy In Shaa Allah.

May Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala make it easy for you to find the Straight Path. Ameen.

Yes indeed sis, Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala gives Mercy to whom He Wills.

But we can all do our bit to secure this by doing everything that we do to please Him and to obey His Laws and Commands. Try to build up as much good deeds as possible so the scales of good deeds are heavy and full.

In the Qur'an He has told us to do certain things that pleases Him and if we do these things then we have a chance of entering heaven by His Mercy.

Muhsin Khan

Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah (i.e. follows Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin (good-doer i.e. performs good deeds totally for Allah's sake only without any show off or to gain praise or fame, etc., and in accordance with the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger Muhammad Peace be upon him ) then his reward is with his Lord (Allah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
