Is there such a place here in Doha where the newly converts go just learn the basic of Islam like how to perform pray and other basic things that every Muslim should know?
When I checked with Al Fanar back in July 2012, they don't any class for newly converts.
They have people who work or volunteer at Fanar that would help any new convert.
If you still have not found someone to help you, please contact me and I will help you if you are a lady, if you are a man I can find someone to help you.
Guess my intention of saying so was to specify more why I don't judge people due to y'know.. But you are absolutely right, Jazakhallah khair for your advice. As always we are all in need of one another for advice and help. May Allah truly forgive us all, increase us in knowledge and grant us success in this world and the next..Aameen
And yes that was a hijack, but hopefully it will be viewed as a "good" one!
you stated you were 'a certain way ten years back'. i get your intention and am sure you don't plan to anyway but please do not mention any more details of why or how you were a bad or lost muslim. the reason i say that is because people frequently curiously ask for more details..and we in good faith spill all our beans..but Allah frequently veils for us our sins from the world and people because he intends to forgive those sins. I too have been and still am a somewhat lost muslim but alhamdulillah god has shielded all those sins from people and inshallah it will only be between me and him. Thus we should not openly declare what allah has mercifully hidden for us. And I hope we are not hijacking the thread..well we are but not really lol
buddy i say let's all keep our houses in order and the rest will automatically fall in place. besides, it is not any person's place to judge others and their standing in Allah's sight. We do not know how Allah judges us. It is possible Salman Khan is more dear to God than you or me because of some small good deed he did sometime. If a 100 time murderer and a prostitute were forgiven and granted heaven for merely watering a thirsty dog, Salman stands a good chance too Allah willing. So yeah let's all pray for each other and keep our own Islam strong:-)
Maybe bro maybe...but how will knowing whether or not these stars are Muslims, benefit us? In fact, May Allah protect us, by wasting time trying to find out about their place in Islam, we can commit bigger sins and even lose our Islam, due to our lack of knowledge on things that are far more pressing.
But yes you are right, being born to a Muslim family does not make one a Muslim, and I know this firsthand, sadly, due to the state of my own family and who I was less than ten years back, Astaghfirullah!
In fact one of the traits of any real person of knowledge in Islam, aka scholars and their students, is that they never claim to be experts and in fact refuse to accept titles like" Sheikh" and the likes. And they concentrate there dawah on things that benefit Muslims more like the importance of Thawheed, how essential it is to seek knowledge, how best to worship our Lord in accordance to the Quran and Sunnah, and the terrible evil of extremism. Go to any of these people and try to ask them "do you think Sharuk Khan is a Muslim" and he/she will give you a good telling off asking you how will this knowledge benefit you on the day of judgement and how will it help you better your Islam!
It's these media loving "personalities" not scholars, who instead concentrate so much on sensational topics,movie-stars , sports stars, etc and go about issuing fatwas on the likes(which incidentally they have no true authority to do so)whilst many people around their land don't even know the basics of Islam like how to pray correctly according to the Sunnah.
yes when the self proclaimed experts busy themselves with issuing 'fatwas' against film stars and cricketers, the misguided extremism and strife inevitably follow..don't know where you're from but the scholars in India are too pre-occupied with Salman Khan and Zaheer Khan to have any time to educate people on the true Islam. And hey, did you notice how one comment directed the OP to 'QL user Fathima' for info?. As they say, a person's reputation precedes them..mashallah:-)
Try to call 44250288, this is the Muslim integration section of Fanar, they do have basic classes there both for men and women, especially on Fridays. They will teach you the basics of prayer, pillars of Islam, pillars of faith as well as comparative studies.
Never take anyone/anything of Islam without sound proof from the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet. Today the Muslim world is facing much strife and disunity due to the misguidance and lack of knowledge of Muslims.
So many are into blind following, and simply following their emotions, rather than actually seeking knowledge themselves from reliable sources and then implementing it.
Will PM you some reliable websites, and some info, Insha Allah.
May Allah guide us all to the straight path..Aameen!
hey buddy..for the basics and the proper way to DO things required in Islam; get yourself books/videos/youtube tutorials or recognized scholars..but for deeper understanding of the religion and the true spirit of it, please do yourself a favour and read with utter concentration, the Quran and the sayings of the Prophet. Don't speak Arabic?..well it's available in whatever language you speak. Do not depend on self proclaimed experts and religious fanatics who paint the religion with their own colours. Islam encourages a self investigative approach so find out things for yourself. For example, if someone tells you its not allowed to brush your teeth while fasting and you see everyone not brushing, question it for yourself and you will find out that you can in fact use toothpaste and brush your teeth during your fast. Best of luck in your quest for peace and knowledge.

Thank you for all the replies especially for those who tried to help by providing contacts number.
Sister FathimaH, I tried twice to reply to your message but it didn't go thru.
They have people who work or volunteer at Fanar that would help any new convert.
If you still have not found someone to help you, please contact me and I will help you if you are a lady, if you are a man I can find someone to help you.
i hope you are not being awkward, rude or condescending with that comment, since your message isn't too clear

More distractions and love for this materialistic world snatch peace from our lives.
Peace of mind and soul is not easily available. We all need to strive to attain spirituality and peace.

I seriously doubt about SrK and Salman's religions!
Just getting a birth in a muslim family does not make a person muslim, otherwise the son of Prophet Nuh (peace be on Him) would be a muslim.
Everybody needs to strive for knowledge of Islam and implement the rules and discipline in their personal life.
