Alahmdulillah (all praise is for Allah)
Thats great news brother
take your time and read the words from our creator with an open heart.
The Quran is the word from Allah (God) and is not only for Muslims but for the whole of Humanity.
It will tell you about past prophets (peace be upon them all) and it will tell you about death which we will all face one day and then tell you about life after death which is eternal.
Salaams

Tauheed - Belief
"I believe in ALLAH, in His Angels, His Scriptures, His Prophets, the Day of Judgment, and in the fact that every thing good or bad (in the world) is pre-destined by ALLAH the Exalted, and in the resurrection after death."
Tauheed, the Oneness of ALLAH (s.w.t) for a Muslim is:
" ALLAH, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; slumber does not seize him nor does sleep; to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him, except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is after them, but they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge, except what He will. His Throne extends over the heavens and earth, and their guarding does not strain Him; and He is the High, the Great". ( 3 : 255 ) Al-Quran.
We say about ALLAH's unity believing by ALLAH's help; that ALLAH is One, without any partners. There is nothing like Him. There is nothing that can overwhelm Him. There is no god other than Him. He is the Eternal without a beginning and enduring without end. He will never perish or come to an end. Nothing happens except what He wills. No imagination can conceive of Him and no understanding can comprehend Him. He is different from any created being. He is living and never dies and is eternally active and never sleeps. He creates without His being in need to do so and provides for His creation without any effort. He causes death with no fear and restores to life without difficulty.
He has always existed together with His attributes since before creation. Bringing creation into existence did not add anything to His attributes that was not already there. As He was, together with His attributes, in pre-eternity, so He will remain throughout endless time. It was not only after the act of creation that He could be described as "The Creator" nor was it only by the act of origination that He could he described as "The Originator". He was always the Lord even when there was nothing to be Lord of, and always the Creator even when there was no creation. In the same way that He is the "Bringer to life of the dead", after He has brought them to life a first time, and deserves this name before bringing them to life, so too He deserves the name of "Creator" before He has created them. This is because He has the power to do everything, everything is dependent on Him, everything is easy for Him, and He does not need anything.
"There is nothing like Him and He is the Hearer, the Seer". ( 42 : 11 ) Al-Quran.
He created creation with His knowledge. He appointed destinies for those He created. He allotted to them fixed life spans. Nothing about them was hidden from Him before He created them, and He knew everything that they would do before He created them. He ordered them to obey Him and forbade them to disobey Him. Everything happens according to His decree and will, and His will is accomplished.
The only will that people have is what He wills for them. What He wills for them occurs and what He does not will, does not occur. He gives guidance to whoever He wills, and protects them, and keeps them safe from harm, out of His generosity; and He leads astray whoever He wills, and abases them, and afflicts them, out of His justice. All of them are subject to His will between either His generosity or His justice. He is exalted beyond having opposites or equals. No one can ward off His decree or put back His command or overpower His affairs. We believe in all of this and are certain that everything comes from Him.
The Existence is Infinite and ALLAH has encircled the Infinite Existence, and the Infinite existence has encircled all existent things, so there is no possibility of any other god beyond ALLAH. The existence of creatures is very weak before the Existence of Him. When we and you cannot allow any other being to enter into our own limits of existence despite such weakness, then how ALLAH, with such a tremendous strength of existence, can allow any other god to enter into His dominion ? In short, there is no space for any other god to enter the Divine Dominion. As such there is no rational possibility to believe in any other god beyond ALLAH. He is the origin of all creatures. He is alone the Master of all creations, man, angel, jinn etc. All creatures are the slaves and servants of ALLAH, the Lord of the Universe.
So it is incumbent on every soul in the great Universe to recognize and acknowledge the Lordship of ALLAH, His Divine Unity and denounce all quarters of polytheism. When He is the Creator of all creatures and He provides for them all necessities, obedience to Him is obligatory and binding on all creatures whether man, animals, mountains, angels, trees, stars, moon, and sun.
Men and jinn have wish, but other creatures have no wish, they are completely subservient to the Divine Commands or the Laws of Nature. Other creatures have no wish of their own, so they are not susceptible to disobedience. The word disobedience does not come in the orbit of other creatures. It is only man or jinn who can obey and disobey alike. He is given freedom of choice. He is given Reason or Wisdom to judge and take action accordingly.

Asalam o alaikum warah matullah wabarakatuhu
Allah ho Akbar Brother Julias,
It is indeed a great pleasure to hear that you are learning Islam. Indeed Islam provides solutions to every problem we face today. A very simple and vast religion. I agree with brother PK that you read the Quran (which you are Thanks to Allah) and consult a renowned scholar ... and then make decisions by using an essential part given to us by Allah (brain ofcourse). Regardless of that, if you have any questions or want to learn more regarding a particular aspect of Islam or just in general, please do let us know and we will be more than happy to help you.
Also you asked if someone could translate the sermon in layman's term. To be honest, I am not that good in understanding english grammer. So please do correct me if I am wrong. When you say layman, do you mean a common man english. Please explain a little bit more and let me see what I can do.
@Brother PK
Indeed, tawheed is very important. Tawheed was the first thing which was tought to Prophet (PBUH) and Prophet (PBUH) started the dawa with tauheed. If we do not understand the true meaning of tawheed, all our actions are in vain. Once the Prophet (PBUH) sent a sahaba to a far town to give them the message of Islam and Prophet (PBUH) instructed the sahabi to first give them the message of Tawheed (There is no God but Allah) and then tell them about the rest of the pillars of Islam. So yes, it is very important for us to understand what tawheed really is.
@All
SubhanAllah, such an amazing news. Allah is indeed very powerful and protects whom He wishes.

For those who want to know what Zakat is: 
One of the most important principles of Islam is that all things belong to God, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word Zakat means both 'purification' and 'growth'. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.
Zakat is the amount of money that every adult, mentally stable, free, and financially able Muslim, male and female, has to pay to support specific categories people.
This category of people is defined in surah at-Taubah (9) verse 60: " The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarers; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is knower, Wise." (The Holy Qur'an 9:60).
The obligatory nature of Zakat is firmly established in the Qur'an, the Sunnah (or hadith), and the consensus of the companions and the Muslim scholars. Allah states in Surah at-Taubah verses 34-35: "34:O ye who believe! there are indeed many among the priests and anchorites, who in Falsehood devour the substance of men and hinder (them) from the way of Allah. And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah. announce unto them a most grievous penalty- 35:On the Day when heat will be produced out of that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, their flanks, and their backs.- "This is the (treasure) which ye buried for yourselves: taste ye, then, the (treasures) ye buried!" (The Holy Qur'an 9:34-35).
The prophet (pbuh) said: "Any owner of gold and silver who does not deliver from them their right, on the Day of Quiyamah (Day of Judgment), (the gold and silver) will be shaped as foils of fire. Then it will be heated in the fire of Hell; (and) then with it he will be ironed on his side, his forehead, and his back" (narrated by Muslim).

Punishment of not paying zakat
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: If any owner of gold or silver does not pay what is due on him, when the Day of Resurrection would come, plates of fire would be beaten out for him; these would then be heated in the fire of Hell and his sides, his forehead and his back would be cauterized with them. Whenever these cool down, (the process is) repeated during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among servants, and he sees whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell. It was said: Messenger of Allah, what about the camel? He (the Holy Prophet) said: If any owner of the camel does not pay what is due on him, and of his due in that (camel) is (also) to milk it on the day when it comes down to water. When the Day of Resurrection comes a soft sandy plain would be set for him, as extensive as possible, (he will find) that not a single young one is missing, and they will trample him with their hoofs and bite him with their mouths. As often as the first of them passes him, the last of them would be made to return during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among servants and he sees whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell. It was (again) said: Messenger of Allah, what about cows (cattle) and sheep? He said: If any owner of the cattle and sheep does not pay what is due on them, when the Day of Resurrection comes a soft sandy plain would be spread for them, he will find none of them missing, with twisted horns, without horns or with a broken horn, and they will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hoofs. As often as the first of them passes him the last of them would be made to return to him during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment would be pronounced among the servants. And he would be shown his path-path leading him to Paradise or to Hell. It was said: Messenger of Allah, what about the horse? Upon this he said: The horses are of three types. To one than (these are) a burden, and to another man (these are) a covering, and still to another man (these are) a source of reward. The one for whom these are a burden is the person who rears them in order to show off, for vainglory and for opposing the Muslims; so they are a burden for him. The one for whom these are a covering is the person who rears them for the sake of Allah but does not forget the right of Allah concerning their backs and their necks, and so they are a covering for him. As for those which bring reward (these refer to) the person who rears them for the sake of Allah to be used for Muslims and he puts them in meadow and field. And whatever thing do these eat from that meadow and field would be recorded on his behalf as good deeds, as would also the amount of their dung and urine. And these would not break their halter and prance a course or two without having got recorded the amount of their hoof marks and their dung as a good deed on his behalf (on behalf of their owner). And their master does not bring them past a river from which they drink, though he did not intend to quench their thirst, but Allah would record for him the amount of what they drink on his behalf as deeds. It was said: Messenger of Allah, what about the asses?, Upon this he said: Nothing has been revealed to me in regard to the asses (in particular) except this one verse of a comprehensive nature:" He who does an atom's weight of good will see it, and he who does an atom's weight of evil will see it" (xcix. 7)

'In this world We made a curse to follow them: and on the Day of Judgment they will be among the loathed (and despised).' (Quran 28: 42)
Pharaoh Ramesses
This is the closest picture taken of Pharaoh
Ramesses
Here's the story of France with Pharaoh Ramesses
When Francisco Mitra became the president of France in 1981
France requested from the Egyptian government to host the mummy of Pharaoh
For the purpose of running laboratory and archeological examinations on the mummy of the most notorious dictator ever lived on earth. Upon arrival, a very royal attendants were there including the French president himself and all ministers who bowed in honor for the mummy,
When the ceremony ended, the mummy was carried to a specially-designed section at the Archeology Centre of France
Were it started to be tested by the greatest French archeological and anatomical scientists in order to discover more about such a great mummy
The scientists were headed by Professor Maurice Bucaille
Scientists were trying to restore the mummy while Professor Maurice was mainly concerned with how did this mummy die!
The final report of the scientists was released late at night which states that the remaining salt in the mummy is an overt evidence that it was drawn in the sea, and the body was rescued very shortly where it was immediately embalmed to be saved
An amazing thing was still confusing Professor Maurice is that how could this body possibly be safer than any other mummy despite being taken out of the sea up until this time
Professor Maurice was writing his final report on what he thought would be a new discovery about saving Pharaoh's body immediately after his death and embalming it
And there, someone whispered to him that Muslims claim to know something about the drowning of this mummy
Yet the Professor firmly denied such thing saying that it's impossible to discover this without the development of science and without using his high-tech and complicated laboratories and computers.
To his surprise, he was told that Muslims believe in a book called 'Quran' and this Quran narrates the story of Pharaoh's drowning and ensures the safety of his body after his death as to be a Sign to mankind. The Professor couldn't believe his own ears and started to wonder:
How can a book existed 1400 years ago speak about the mummy that was only found 200 years ago, in 1898??!!
How can that be possible while the ancient Egyptian heritage was discovered only a few decades ago and no one knew about it before??!!
The Professor sat down pondering on what he was told!
about the book of Muslims while his Holy Book narrates only the drowning of Pharaoh without saying anything about his body
'Is it possible that this mummy in front of me is the one who was chasing Moses??!!'
'Is it possible that Muhammad knew this 1400 years ago??!!'
The Professor couldn't sleep that night till they brought him the Old Testament where he read: 'the sea drowned Pharaoh and his army, no one else was left alive' He was surprised that the Holy Book didn't mention about the destiny of the body and that it will be saved
When the scientists were done with the mummy, France retuned it to Egypt , but Professor Maurice couldn't rest for a moment since he was told that Muslims know about the safety of the body. So, he decided to travel and meet anatomy Muslim scientists and there he spoke about his discovery of the safety of the mummy after its death in the sea and so on.
اOne of the Muslim scientists stood up and simply opened the Quran and pointed to the Professor at one verse:
'This day shall We save you in your body, that you may be a Sign to those who come after you! But verily, many among mankind are neglectful of Our Signs'
(Quran 10:92)
The Professor was struck when he read that and immediately stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: 'I believe in Islam, I believe in Quran'
Then he went back to France with a different face he traveled with.
In France , he dedicated 10 years investigating the scientific discoveries and comparing them with the Quran and trying to come up with one scientific contradiction with the Quran. Finally he quoted one verse from the Quran to be his conclusion:
'No falsehood can approach it (this book) from before or behind it: it is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all praise'
(Quran 41:42)
As a result of all years of his research, Professor Maurice wrote a book that shook all Europe , especially the scientists there
'Quran, Torah, Bible and Science:
A Study of the Holy Books in the Light of Modern Science'
All copies were sold out at a very short time
I personally visited the Cairo Museum where the mummy is preserved and there you get astonished at the scenery of thousands of people from all over the world visiting the place everyday, unfortunately, many of the tourists there would think: 'Woow, look at that! Amazing!! So nice to see people of all times!! Without realizing the intended lesson that Allah has kept this body a Sign to all mankind of anyone who denies Allah and His messengers.
In another chapter in the Quran:
'When Moses came to them with Our clear Signs, they said: This is nothing but sorcery faked up: never did we hear the like among our fathers of old!
Moses said: 'My Lord knows best who it is that comes with guidance from Him and whose end will be best in the Hereafter: certain it is that the wrong-doers will not prosper.
'Pharaoh said: 'O Chiefs! No god do I know for you but myself: therefore, O Haman! Light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses: but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a lair!'
And he was arrogant and insolent in the land, beyond reason, - he and his hosts: they thought they would not have to return to Us!
So We seized his and his hosts, and We flung them into the sea: now behold what was the end of those who did wrong!
And We made them (but) leaders inviting to the Fire; and on the Day of Judgment no help shall they find.
In this world We made a curse to follow them: and on the Day of Judgment they will be among the loathed (and despised).'
(Quran 28: 36-42)
So now,
'Has not the time arrived for the Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and the Truth which has been revealed to them, and that they should not become like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors.
Know you (all) that Allah gives life to the earth after its death! Already have We shown the Signs plainly to you, that you may learn wisdom.
For those who give in charity, men and women, and loan to Allah a Beatiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credits), and they shall have (besides) a liberal reward.
And those who believe in Allah and His messengers- they are the Sincere (lovers of Truth), and the Witnesses (who testify), in the eyes of their Lord: they shall have their Reward and their Light.
But those who reject Allah and deny Our Signs,- they are the companions of Hell-Fire '
