Considering Islam for my son's future
Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I feel a bit awkward coming here as someone who isn’t Muslim yet-like I’m stepping into a space that’s not really mine-but I’ve been seriously thinking about embracing Islam. I’ve been looking into it (still just scratching the surface!) and honestly, out of everything I’ve explored, it just clicks the most for me. I didn’t grow up with much religion around me. My folks were Christian, but faith wasn’t a big thing at home. When I was about 18, something pretty rough happened that nudged me to seek out God. That pull got even more intense after my son was born. I feel like I need to really understand who Allah is-like I owe it to Him for all He’s given me. I want to figure out how to get started on this path and keep learning. If you’ve got any beginner-friendly resources-videos, books, anything-please drop them in the comments! It’s not just about me, though. I want my son to have a strong connection with his Creator. He doesn’t have his father around, so it’s just us. Raising him to be a mindful, Allah-conscious man means the world to me. Thanks for hearing me out.
