Introduction to Islam

"Say: He is Allah, the One and Only! Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him." (Qur'an, Surah Ikhlas)

I was raised Catholic and I still am a practising Catholic. I am currently in a relationship with a muslim man.

I am interested in Islam and my boyfriend has been good to help and guide me when I have questions. But is there a one-stop place I can find information about Islam in a simple, easy to understand manner?

Thank you.

    Hello Alexis,

    I don't know about a one-stop shop for learning about Islam, but there are several good websites I can point you to:

    A Brief Illustrated Guide to Understanding Islam

    Introducing Islam to Non-Muslims (this website, IslamiCity.com, is perhaps the largest Islamic website and a tremendous resource for information about Islam).

    Abe's Questions and Answers About Islam

    Zaytuna College - lots of great lectures and videos about Islam.

    There's a great introductor book about Islam called, "Islam in Focus". You can read it online here:

    Islam in Focus

    Or download it in PDF format here:

    Islam in Focus PDF download

    There are many more. Maybe some of our readers can recommend their favorites.

    I should also point out to you that premarital sex, and boyfriend/girlfriend relationships in general, are not allowed in Islam. So your boyfriend may not be the best example of Islamic behavior.
