We advise you to focus on self-improvement and building yourself academically and spiritually, by mastering the memorization of the Noble Quran, learning what rectifies your creed and worship, and then pursuing the path of seeking religious knowledge by joining an academic institute or adhering to a sincere scholar. This does not contradict enjoining good and forbidding evil according to your capacity within your environment. We recommend you read the book "Conflict and Balance in the Muslim's Life" by Dr. Muhammad Musa Al-Sharif.
