  • What do you think of hijab?

    Alot of people think it is oppression but I think of hijabs as beautiful. <3

    I admire people who wear it because I do know that they have to go through so much.

    So tell me what you think?

  • Am I too Young to convert to Islam? I have seen questions like this but...?

    They did not seem to really answer what I was looking for, so I have been thinking about this for a while now, maybe even a little too long, but there are many things that worry me, such as how my peers at school will think of me, and my family, but I know my family will love me no matter what, but might be disappointed with me.( and could reject the Idea at first).

    I have done A LOT of research regarding whether I should convert and I have gone to many websites which all say I should convert now and ask questions later, but I feel as though I should not jump head first into something so important.

    To give you some background:

    -I am already in a monotheistic religion ( Christianity)

    -I am only 15 years old (so it will be difficult to get to a mosque)

    -I do already pray daily many times a day, and have started reading the Holy Qu'ran (But I have a bad memory, so I will have trouble memorizing it)

    -I am ready to wear a hijab and cover up if I do convert ( but I cannot currently afford to get a whole new wardrobe so I need advice on that)

    -I don't really have any muslim friends that I can ask for advice.

    -Also Will I be accepted by other muslims

    -----

    And I have so many other things, like can I still watch movies?, listen to music?, and watch T.V.?

    I have read it is not Halal to do so.

    but some others say it is fine.

    And again regarding the age issue, Do you think I should wait till I'm 18?

    Many people have said no don't wait ( You could die Tomorrow! and such, which is true but then again...) Maybe I am not mature enough to make such a choice yet, obviously I am not going to auto matically be mature when I am 18 but I will have more freedom (hopefully this makes sense).

    Anyways, I am only trying to follow gods word, and make the right choice.

    May god bless you all, hopefully someone can help me.

    EDIT:

    Because A person said I didn't give "Reasons"

    -I am not spiritually fulfilled with my current religion.

    -Islam is a religion of logic.

    -I want to find gods word.

    Also to those who think otherwise Islam is a religion of peace not war.

    And I am not ignorant of Christianity I know what it is because what have I been going to on almost every sunday of my life? Church, although I do still believe in Jesus, what am I to do if I know Mohammed (peace be upon him) is the prophet of god?

    And to the age thing, does anyone know for sure that there is a certain age? I don't see any evidence saying so, in all of the research I have read nothing that has said there needs to be a certain age in order to enter a Islam.

    EDIT:

    I know I sent this in before, but it was in a different section, but someone suggested I send it in this section instead.
