Embracing Islam After Years of Searching

Today, I finally admitted something I've felt for a while-that my previous faith in Christianity didn't align with my heart. Growing up, worshipping Jesus as more than a prophet never sat right with me, especially when seeing how some twist religion to justify terrible actions in the world. I've realized that Allah (SWT) is far greater than any human figure on Earth. While I respect Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) as a messenger, I believe only Allah deserves worship. Now that I've made this decision, I could really use some guidance on where to begin-should I start by reading the Quran and go from there? Any advice would be appreciated. JazakAllah khair, and may you all have a blessed Ramadan.

What a beautiful testimony. May Allah make it easy for you. The Quran and then the basics of Salah would be my suggestion.

Yes, definitely begin with the Quran. A good translation makes a huge difference. And don't rush the prayers, learn step by step.

Your story resonates. I was in a similar place. The Quran is the best foundation, and asking questions here is a good start too. JazakAllah khair for sharing.

Respect. Reading the Quran first is the right move. Also, try to connect with other reverts online, they know exactly what you're going through.

Mashallah brother, welcome. Starting with the Quran is perfect. Just take it slow and maybe find a local mosque for support.
