Question:
Assalamu’alaikum Ya Sayyidi,
I hope and pray that you and your love ones and in the best health and Iman.
InshaAllah, my older sister is going to marry someone who is willing to revert to Islam and become a Muslim. But before that he has a question, he would like to know the dos’ and the don’t s in Islam. As a non-Muslim who are thinking to becoming a Muslim, we are afraid we would scare him with all the list of dos and don’t in Islam. InshaAllah with your knowledge and wisdom, please advise us on what kind of answer we should give him.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Let him make shahada and after that he can start prayers 5 times in every 24 hours. The rest he can learn later little by little through socializing with Muslims. Jamaa is the best school. No one can encompass the whole of Shari’a whether in knowledge or in practice.
