Asselamalakum sisters,
I am new to the group and to the religion. Actually I haven't said my shahada yet and it was very interesting to see a post about another sister that had the same problem I am having right now. I want to say my shahada as soon as possible but I am not comfortable praying yet because I don't know how to very well. I go to the mosque every saturday with my husband and when it's time to pray I feel really bad because I want to join them but at the same time I don't want to make a fool out of myself because I don't know what I am doing. I hope anybody here has some suggestions.  :?  :?  :?  :?

Salam alaikum,

Well, first, welcome to the forum
I think that if you always wait to be ready, you'll never be 'ready' and I think it's whisperings of shaytan that make people feel like they can't say the shahada because they don't know how to pray. I didn't know how to pray when I said it, but, I learned. And, I'm still learning it. You should say it as soon as you can, because, you never know what's going to happen. If you belive that Islam is the true religion, then don't wait, say the shahada! I'm sure your husband would be happy to help you learn to pray, or if he can't, (as it can be hard to have your spouse teach you things...) then I'm sure there's some women at the mosque who are friendly and would like to help.  How many people really knew how to pray before becoming muslim? I'm not sure, but I know more people who didn't (actually I don't know any who did) and they all learned to pray, it takes some time, but eventually if you keep at it, you'll learn.
Say your shahada soon, though, you won't regret it!!!

Hey
and Welcome smile.gif

U sound pretty much like me smile.gif Except i'm not married and only visit mosque sometimes.

I went to the mosque with some friends (born muslim) during ramadan and sort of joined them for prayers. Just doing the movements for practice. And then there was one sister who adviced me more closely about it. So i don't think u'll make a fool of ur self! There's always some helpful sister even if u don't ask!

Good luck

Salam

Hope this finds you well smile.gif

Let me first say...welcome to the site...I KNOW you will find it very useful.

Next:

If your only roadblock to accepting Islam...is learning the pray.

You have NO ROADBLOCK!!!!!

Accept Islam....take that first step to Allah...and Allah will help you with all the rest.  If you believe Islam is the true path.....be ON that path..dont delay for any reason.  What if your feet are taken from you and they never set foot on that path????!!!  

I embraced islam and struggled to learn my prayers (and do them)....I still have much to learn and still struggle at times. (every muslim does)  Taking that first step...willl help with all the rest....each time you struggle you will be rewarded....start earning rewards as a muslim my dear friend.
Take things at your own pace after reverting...know you have a clean start and be careful to keep it clean smile.gif

May Allah guide you and help you always.

peace,

Penny
