Alhamdulillah, it’s official: I’m Muslim! Took my Shahada today 🌙✨

Assalamu alaikum everyone! I’m Sarah, I grew up in a Baptist household, so this has been a journey I never expected - but I am SO excited I can barely type this straight! Lots of questions, lots of research, and moments of just *knowing* something was pulling me forward. And today it finally happened. I said the shahada. I’m Muslim!! 😊 I feel like I’m floating right now, honestly. So much joy, so much peace, and I’m just ready to learn and grow from here. I already picked up a copy of The Clear Quran by Mustafa Khattab to start with, but if you’ve got other tips for a new revert - communities, resources, anything that helped you when you were starting out - I'm all ears! Thank you for letting me share this with you all. Please keep me in your dua as I begin this new chapter 🤍

So beautiful, mashaAllah! I'll make dua for you, sis. Check out free online classes at AlMaghrib Institute, they really helped me understand the basics.

Tears of joy reading this! I reverted 5 years ago from a Baptist background too. The Clear Quran is perfect, and YouTube channels like Yaqeen Institute saved me so much confusion.

Allahu Akbar! This made my day. I reverted two years ago from a Christian family too, so I know exactly how you feel. The Quran app with tafsir is great for beginners.
