Guide For The New Muslim

The goal of this work is to present the new Muslim with a basic

guide that will help him understand and implement Islam. As already noted,

the newly converted Muslim has set himself upon a new path that, most

likely, is very different from the path that he was on before. The convert

understands enough about Islam to recognize that it is the truth but he

usually does not have enough detailed information about Allah's religion to

guide him in his everyday affairs.

The author sincerely hopes that the individual will have the best

experience in Islam by understanding it properly from the beginning and by

applying it correctly in his life. Many are the converts to Islam who are

bewildered and confused once they convert. Unfortunately, not every

Muslim today is a good ambassador of Islam and not every Muslim today

understands all of the basics of Islam. This can lead to a great deal of

confusion, as some Muslim converts cannot even recognize the Islam that

they see when compared to the Islam that they read about. This work is a

modest attempt at assisting the new Muslim to set out along the correct path

based on the Quran and Sunnah.
