Adapun orang lain iaitu adik atau abang kepada suaminya (yakni adik/abang ipar), anak saudara kepada suaminya, bapa saudara suaminya dan sebagainya mereka tetap ajnabi dan wajib ia menutup aurat di hadapan mereka kecuali batasan yang dibenarkan untuk dibuka iaitu muka dan tangan.

Do I have to learn Arabic?

The original is The Word of Allah

It is not mandatory to know Arabic to become a Muslim. As the Qur'an is recited during prayers, one has to memorize a few chapter. The shortest chapter has only three verses.

Learning Arabic will be an advantage as there is a big difference between reading the translations of The Qur'an and the original text in Arabic.

Do I have to perform the daily prayers and other obligatory duties in Islam immediately after becoming a Muslim?

Allah knows what is in your heart

Obligatory duties in Islam are not "chores" that are performed reluctantly but a part of the joy of submission to Allah The Merciful.

They must be performed without delay in the spirit of gratitude to Allah The Merciful for the blessings that each of ud has been given.

Remember that you perform these duties not to please others but to submit to Allah The Merciful Who knows what is in your heart.

What is the difference between 'born Muslims' and those who embraced Islam?

Brothers and sisters

In Islam there is no difference whatsover between born Muslims and those who embraced Islam. In Islam the believers are differentiated only on the level of their piety.

When a person embraces Islam, he returns to his original sinless state like a newborn. When a person embraces Islam, he becomes a Muslim.

All believers are brothers and sisters in Islam. You become a Muslim by the Mercy of The Almighty.
