A Brief Description of the Question:

I need information as to where to start in my study of Islam.

The Answer:

One, who would like to study Islam, should start with the essentials of faith first. The essentials of faith are;

1- To believe in Allah
2- To believe in Prophets sent by Allah
3- To believe in Holy Books revealed to some Prophets by Allah
4- To believe in Angles
5- To beleive in hereafter
6- To believe in fate

These are all explained briefly in our site.

Would you briefly mention the pillars of faith?

Also, we recommend you The Risale-i Nur Collection written by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. Such a collection explains and gives reasonable proofs about essentials of faith.
Then comes the practices of Islam which are commonly called the Five Pillars. They are:
1. Testimony of Faith (Shahada)
2. Ritual Prayer (Salah)
3. Fasting in Ramadan (Sawm)
4. Giving Alms (Zakat)
5. Pilgrimage to Makkah (Hajj)
