A suggestion to the seeker of truth do the following Eleven STEPS to purification of the mind:

# Clean your mind, your heart and your soul real good.
# Clear away all the prejudices and biases
# Read a good translation of the meaning of the Holy Qur’an in a language that you can understand best.
# Take some time.
# Read and reflect.
# Think and pray.
# And keep on asking the One who created you in the first place, to guide you to the truth.
# Keep this up for a few months. And be regular in it till the last breath of your life.
# Above all, do not let others who are poisoned in their thinking influence you while you are in this state of "rebirth of the soul."
# The rest is between you and the Almighty Lord of the Universe. If you truly love Him, then He already Knows it and He will deal with each of us according to our hearts.
# Please take the time and visit Quran / Hadith and the different Islamic Sites for understanding our origins and our purpose and goals in this life and the Next Life

What Allah has forbidden & hated for you

Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba (Radi Allah Anhu): The Prophet (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said:

Allah has forbidden for you:
(1) to be undutiful to your mothers,
(2) to bury your daughters alive,
(3) to not to pay the rights of the others (e.g. charity, etc.) and
(4) to beg of men (begging).

And Allah has hated for you
1) vain, useless talk, or that you talk too much about others,
(2) to ask too many questions, (in disputed religious matters) and
(3) to waste the wealth (by extravagance)."
