As salamu alaikum! I embraced Islam from a Hindu background
Peace be upon you all. I'm a brother from Pune, Maharashtra, India, 25 years old. For the past year or year and a half, I've been learning about Islam through lectures by scholars like Dr. Israr Ahmed, Maulana Tariq Jameel, and Mufti Tariq Masood, along with Quran translations on YouTube shorts. It was all divinely guided-I never searched for it; it just appeared on my feed. Over time, my heart fell in love with Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, as well as other prophets like Isa, Suleiman, Yusuf, Ibrahim, Yaqub, and Musa. I used to be a staunch Hindu, even hostile towards Muslims, but after thorough research, I reverted a month ago and recited the shahada. Now, Hinduism holds no place in my heart-I don't visit temples or worship any deities. But I'm keeping this to myself since I lack Muslim friends here in Pune to discuss my faith with. If anyone from Pune or India wants to be friends and talk about Islam, especially around my age, that would be wonderful. I pray Allah, the Most Merciful, accepts me.
