Salaams all,
As a revert having rejected the concept of the trinity I still struggle with certain accounts both in the Qur'an and the OT, such as the practicalities regarding the flood and also Yunus. Often wonder whether all is to be taken literally or whether some is metaphorical?
Assalamu alaikum,
As a revert I've often wondered why so many other "reverts" invariably hold such extreme views, many making pronouncements on various matters on such channels as YouTube. Have they simply been indoctrinated by certain schisms within Islam who have a certain agenda?

Jazak Allah Khair for your reply, it can be very confusing for those coming to Islam to hear "advice" which isn't comfortable and drives them away from the religion.
Assalamu alaikum brothers and sisters,
As a revert, 6 years since Shahada?), I sometimes struggle, inner belief is that Islam is the true path, however when visiting groups intended for new Muslims I receive information/advice I'm not happy with. For example, on my last visit to such a group I...
Salaams everyone
If Quran is word of Allah SWT how do we reconcile doubt /confusion when reading account of the flood? Global /regional, animals in pairs, insects upwards?
How on earth have I been manipulated? Don`t think you understood. The first group I was told really appreciated cake so I bought some and took it along. The second person refused my offer of payment and asked I make a donation to any charity of my choosing if I so wished.

Wa Alaikum Assalam,
Thankyou for your reply/explanation, helpful. Know that in Quran it is stated not to be extreme in your religion but to make it easy for yourself. Forget exact ayat wording. Again ,believe in sticking to basic message.Media twisting things through ignorance?
Thank you for your reply and explanation, this makes sense but was aware that media constantly refer to Salafists as something evil. Obviously their misinterpretation and labelling all.
Jazakallah Khair.
Assalyum alakium all, as a recent confused revert/convert can someone please explain why Salafists are so demonised in the media? The masjid in which i made Shahada has Salafia in its name. I went there as this was only one in my area which had Khutbah in English. Really confused. Find message...
Thank you for your response,
the copies of Quran I have,by Pickthall,A.Y.Ali, Mufti Afzal Hoosen Elias and one from Quran Project have this as 11.40? (reference to two of "each") Understand that exact translations from any language can be difficult and perhaps it is only the original Arabic...
Hello everyone, and salaam alaikum,
There is one question that keeps cropping up in my mind and it is of Noah/Nuh both in Bible and Quran.The question is,how could He have gathered two of each species (male and female) when one considers the sheer number of species and diversity of habitat...
