Embracing Islam: My Journey to Shahada
Assalamu alaikum, everyone! I think I just took my shahada-I said it in English and also tried my best in Arabic. English is my first language, so I'm hoping I got all the Arabic words right, insha'Allah 😅. I was raised Christian but started questioning my faith last year and leaned toward agnosticism. As I looked into different beliefs, Islam kept calling to me, even though I resisted it at first. The more I learned, the more it felt like the true path to Allah. I used to be skeptical about religion, but given how the world works (I'm someone who digs into deeper truths), I've come to believe Islam is the genuine way. Anyway, I wanted to share my thoughts and ask if you have any helpful YouTube recommendations-like videos on learning to recite the Quran, understanding prayer, or any advice that would benefit a 20-year-old in America. Jazakum Allahu khairan!
