Praying

As anyone that is not a native Arabic speaker KNOWS that Arabic is challenging. I have been praying five times a day, and praying for my learning to be quick. Al hamdililah I have a good memory, I just have problems with the different letters that we do not have. My writing and reading is easier. I am thinking about attending classes at the mosque but I am intimidated....any advice from anyone on how learning Arabic was easier? Thank God I have a Jordanian roommate and numerous Saudis at my University. Could someone please recommend a website..
Meanwhile I would like to recommend a website that has helped me with The Quran pronounciation. QuranFlash.com paired with hearing recitation on youtube helped me learn Al Fatihah.

Jealousy

God has given me a lot of gifts. I am thankful for them. However one thing I struggle with is jealousy. I do not become jealous about items people have or material things, but I do become jealous and slightly possessive of people. When I care for someone I want them to be mine. I know this is so childish of me...but I feel fire when I see someone else with my "people". Does anyone else struggle with this? I feel as if my heart is flaming when I feel jealous....I have problems with people and my relationships because of this. A LOT of fights have come out of it. I hope that Lord will give me the strength to overcome this flaw of mine. To anyone who struggles the same...please know I am fighting for the same cause.

Salam

For the past year I have been researching Islam in the hopes of finding out my opinion on the subject. I have discovered many amazing things and encountered many hardships. I hope that someone can be helped by reading about my experiences. Becoming a Muslimah is not easy in America- especially in an environment of intolerance that comes with ignorance. Pray for me!
