[quote]sister, I can only suggest what I found beneficial for myself.I feel anyone who wnats to learn and improve their knowledge of Islam should be encouraged.You may have a personal preferance for a particular scholar that you appreciate then go for it.

I think when we talk about religion , the basis of our religion is the Qur'an and the SUnnah. We must begin from there. So a tafseer of the Qur'an would be the start. The two that I am familiar with our Tafheem ul Qur'an by maudoodi and Tadabur ul Qur'an by Islahi.

For me the starting point was completeing teh STudying Islam course. which now stretches to 17 modules.

One other Book that I would strongly recommend is Meezan by Javaid Ahmad Ghamidhi. It defines the religion in a text book manner and I have found it very helpful.The last thing to suggets is the www.Understanding-Islam.org.web site.You can read question and answers on individual topics or pose questions.

Finally, I would like to repeat, any work or effort in teh path of Allah is a big achievement. What ever you feel comfortable with and who ever you find more compatible with. Remembering that we must be open minded and recognise that no one person can claim to know the entire truth. Prophethood has finished. We must discourage hero worship. We must acknowledge that one eprson may explain some thing betetr whilst another one one may have a better grasp of a different issue.

Learning about Hadith is also very important. However I would like to do it after I have completed the above.[/quote]
