Also, some other good ways to learn about Islam are:
* Reading the Qur'an. I recommend The Study Quran by S. H. Nasr. (You may wish to skip the commentary as the commentary is long but the Quran is not too long)
* Reading books about Islam (whatever is of interest)
* Watching videos about Islam. The Youtube channel called Ahlulbayt Tv has good quality videos.
* Sometimes it is nice to see how individuals understand their own faith. There is a nice book called Muslims of the World: Portraits and Stories which talks about different Muslims and their lives and how that relates to their faith; it also has a lot of nice pictures.
* If you end up having a strong interest in religion, you could always pursue courses in religious studies at the university (either as a major or just something to do on the side) or, if you are in a country where you have A-levels, during A-levels.
Learning about Islam, or any other religion, does not require you to give up your own religion, although it is always good to continually reflect on what is true!
Islam is the true message from The Creator, God Almighty to all creatures. Islam is The Truth about everything in existence including The Creator, the creation, life, universe, and hereafter.
i congratulate you for your intention to seek knowledge about Islam and invite you to read about Islam from pure Muslim sources like www.al-Islam.org, www.shiasearch.org and similar websites.
Please feel free to ask any question you may have. Islam is the faith and religion of truth which has answer to every question.
May God guide you to The Truth and help you to know His message to you and all human beings and grant you strength to follow His teachings which will make your life enlightened with light of the Truth.
Wassalam.
