A Fear I Need to Share
Salam everyone. I'm not Muslim-I grew up Christian and was practicing for years until about a year ago. I’ve always been curious about Islam, but never had anyone to talk to about it. I live in a small town in the US where it’s really not safe to even mention an interest in Islam. I learned that the hard way, so everything I’ve explored has been in private. Lately, I’ve felt ready to learn more, and that includes reading the Quran. I actually have an app on my phone hidden away in a folder. But honestly? I haven’t started yet, and that’s what I need to get off my chest. I’m scared. Scared that when I read it, it’ll touch my heart and I’ll believe it. I don’t know if I’m brave enough to face what that would mean-how I’d tell my traditional Christian family, or how my life might change. My husband does know, and he’s supportive no matter what, alhamdulillah. I don’t really need advice or anything, just wanted to share this somewhere people might get it. JazakAllah khair for reading.
