Frequently asked questions

What books should a new Muslim read first?

Start with a short introduction such as Islam: A Total Beginner’s Guide, then a prayer guide such as The Prayer and Purification, and a dua book such as Fortress of the Muslim.

How can a new Muslim learn to pray?

The Prayer and Purification explains wudu, ghusl and the steps of salah, and Before You Pray covers what you need in place before you begin.

What is the difference between a convert and a revert?

Both words describe a person who has embraced Islam. Many Muslims prefer revert, because they believe every person is born with a natural inclination to worship Allah alone.
