Tomorrow morning I'll be attending a Masjid for the first time and I'm very nervous. Thanks to my Pakistani-American brother who offered to take me, I'm finally going to see a prayer service first hand. I've seen a bunch of basics of Islam videos by the likes of Timothy Winter and Zakir Naik, but prayer will help me decide if Islam is my destiny. Any tips? Also if I convert, how should I address this to my working class white parents? Won't be looking forward to it. Thank you brothers and sisters.

The little bucket next to the toilet is for rinsing the penis after urination.

الله اكبر

White revert here. Don't be nervous at all. Willfully submitting to The Creator and accepting Jesus as the Messiah and Muhammad as the final prophet is the best decision possible for here and the hereafter.

>Timothy Winter

Based.

>Zakir Naik

Based.

Fajr? That is literally the next prayer in the US. Man that's exciting.

>Any tips?

Ask to speak to the imam after the prayer. Ask him or tell him whatever you want. It might be a relief for you. You can also ask if you can borrow some books from the masjid. I'd checkout Islam in Focus if you have the desire.

http://www.muslim-library.com/dl/books/English_Islam_In_Focus.pdf

It's a book from the 70's, before the secular west routinely projected its pathological contradictions onto the Islamic world; meaning neither tiptoeing nor standoffishness on the part of the muslim author.

>Also if I convert, how should I address this to my working class white parents? Won't be looking forward to it.

Do you still live with your parents? More info regarding that situation would be needed before advising.

My parents thought it was "just a phase", the real problems started years later when I asked them to be involved in the marriage process. My mother, a christian, thought it was insane for me to marry a girl before having sex and living together. My father, an atheist, thinks marriage is insane period - he is delayed onset mghow. So I had to do the whole marriage process on my own, that was difficult but tremendously rewarding; I have a muslim family now, alhamdulillah.

Since we haven't heard back from OP, I'm going to assume that he had such an excellent experience that he's too busy learning at the mosque to return here.

Very strange with your mother, I had the impression pre-marital sex (fornication) was prohibited in Christianity.

>Careful, that man understands nothing about the natural sciences, and a lot of his explanations are pseudo-profundity with no sound reasoning.

Bro,

Zakir Naik is a daiee. He is not a sheikh and doesn't claim to be a sheikh. Hamza Yusuf is a sheikh. The OP said he saw videos on "basics" from Zakir Naik. Zakir Naik's speciality is answering questions from non-muslims and if you think his answers are not profound then consider the silly questions he is dealing with! He does a good job giving dawah, please pray for the brother as he's been absurdly targeted by oppressive governments for preaching Islam.

Sorry, but I used to trust Zakir Naik before, now I just don't basically trust no one. This change happened in some video, -that i forgot what it was tbh-

You sound traumatized.

I hope you're in touch with your local community and not caught in a downward spiral involving YouTube clips and anonymous internet trolling. We have actual scholars in this ummah, Zakir Naik is not one of them. And even our best scholars make mistakes of course. You should definitely seek out some real scholars to learn from. We have the Quran and the Sunnah, we don't have taqlid for anyone except Rasoolullah (saws). When it comes to anyone else, trust but verify.
