Bismillah, (In the name of Allah, (God))

Dear Patricia,

Why don't you study about the basics of Islam from this website's main page, or read in the discussion forums postings about the Qur'aan and the pillars of Islaam?  There are a lot of great books, including the Qur'aan itself, to read about it.

I loved reading the one that compared the Qur'an, the Bible, and Science.

Wa alaikum assalam,

Welcome, i hope we can help you with the answers to those questions.

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to All�h, the Lord of the 'Alam�n (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

I sould say that I have met a very special man from Morocco that got me interested in Islam. He was happy when I told him that I wanted to learn more so that I could beter understand him and his life. But now I am wanting to learn not just for him, but for myself and my children. I grew up going to the Seventh-Day Adventist church, but have not attended in many years. I have never lost my faith in God, only in my church. I am hoping I can find some answers to my questions here. I look forward to talking with all of you. I hope everyone has a good day. Salaam Alaykum(I hope I spell that right)
