    May Allah Guide her.

    If its possible take her to the nearest islamic center or Masjid because that would be best place to learn about islam

    -always to be close to her and kind that she wont feel alone while her family is taking distance from her

    -try to teach her abt basics of islam first (better to start from pillars of islam and one by one teach her )

    -then try to teach her abt salah and how to offer all about salah

    *always keep one thing in mind never force her to give her too much lectures that she get bored and couldnt diagest what u taught her.

    if u need any material in this regards or any furture assistance u can mail ur brother anytime

    jazakallah khairan

    Give her the Quran and tell her to read it, don't talk to her much about Islam until she is done reading it. Ask her how many books she has read in her life and ask her to finish that book. Be firm as she needs nothing from her family as Allah SWT has chosen her.

    Its not convert, that is impossible! Get it right people its impossible to convert into Islam, you are all born in the womb in submission to Allah = ISLAM!

    IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVERT TO ISLAM! TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE!

    The best thing you can do is be supportive in telling her over and over again to read the book. If the book is not read then the protection of Allah cannot be guaranteed.

    Those of the book are protected and guided by the book.

    Muhammed SAW said don't pray until you learn the deen. Surely you cannot avoid Salat that was made in heaven! So then, what does that all mean again for the 1 millionth time I am posting the same damn things to you people because you are all too damn ignorant to ask Allah SWT first. Instead you ask each other like sheep wondering the field and when the wolf comes you say oh what happened?

    HAHAH how pathetic.... this is not a place to learn anything but the error of mankind, less a few.

    READ THE QURAN YOURSELF AS I CAN TELL YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH SAME AS HER!

    Source(s): Ankaboot YOU PEOPLE ARE MOSTLY LOST LESS A FEW, YOU KEEP ASKING EACH OTHER AND THE ERROR GOES IN A MASSIVE CIRCLE AND THEN YOU WONDER WHY YOU DIDN'T ASK ALLAH SWT FIRST! NICE JOB EVE!

    Being a revert myself. I can honestly tell you learning from a reputable source is best. Get the facts only and do not allow any cultural influence. Visit the nearest Masjid. I have come into many problems in my Islamic education due to cultural influence and ideals of others. To spare her the suffering and potential misguidance please accept my sincere advice. Remember the Quran is perfect. Anything that is not in supported by Quran do not accept it.

    The first things to teach her is nicely explained in the following verse;

    It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing. Quran 2:177

    her family not supporting her could also be a test of her faith, so tell her to be patient and remind her that patience is a virtue. i say stick to the basic for now, also make sure when she reads the quran that you have a tafsir book handy meaning a book that explains the surah and verses. also get intouch with a good knowledgable kind imam who can help her with learning etc etc...

    Salah (namaz) first

    go through it in the order of the pillars if you like it makes more sense to do it that way

    she has done shahadah alhumdulilah

    teach her about namaz next

    then zakat

    then ramadan

    And lastly hajj

    may Allah reward you x

  • Get her some good books to teach her some basic surahs...

    transliteration ones were the ones that helped me the most

    She should read the Quran first. The Quran strengthens faith.

    She should start learning prayer after her faith becomes solid.
