Embracing Islam: Where to Start Your Journey

Assalamu alaikum, I'm looking into becoming a Muslim, but honestly feeling a bit lost on where to begin. Right now I'm trying to pick up some Arabic, because I'd love to understand the Quran as it was revealed. And I've heard that sometimes names are changed upon reverting-my first name is Israel, and I don't have a middle name, so I'm wondering if I should consider a new one? Any advice or tips would be so welcome. There's an Islamic center just 10 minutes from my house; maybe that's a good first step?

Mate, definitely go to the center. Changed my name too, felt like a fresh start. They'll suggest good ones.

Start with Shahada, the rest follows. Your intention is what matters most. Peace be upon you.

Learning Arabic is awesome but take it slow! Focus on basics first, the center can help with that and your name question.
