Can I call myself a Muslim if I don't know Arabic and only read the Quran in translation?

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I'm a revert living in a household where Islam isn't accepted, so I have to keep my faith private. I don't know any Arabic, and I can only read the Quran through translation in my language. I'm wondering: can I still call myself a Muslim? I believe in Islam fully, but I often feel like I'm not a real Muslim because I can't read the Quran in Arabic. Does anyone have thoughts or advice on this? Jazakum Allahu khairan.

Keep reading the translation with reflection. Allah doesn't burden a soul beyond its capacity.

Absolutely, you're a Muslim. Faith is in the heart, not the language. Keep reading the translation and learn Arabic when you can.
