Exploring a New Spiritual Path - Any Guidance?

Salam everyone, just wanted to share my thoughts. I'm in my 20s, living in a diverse area of the UK. I grew up in a home that was quite secular, and while I have Muslim friends among others, I never felt a strong pull towards any religion until recently. Spending more time with Muslim friends and learning about Islam has genuinely touched my heart in a way I didn't expect. This year, I tried fasting during Ramadan (as much as I could, since I manage my health with insulin), and it wasn't just about the physical benefits-I ended up feeling spiritually refreshed and lighter, alhamdulillah. It’s strange to say, but it almost feels like I’m being guided towards something, which is a big step for someone who’s never been religious. I'm not even sure what I'm asking, but from the bottom of my heart, I’m looking for some gentle advice or knowledge. Jazakallah khair for reading my messy thoughts!

I feel you! I was in a similar place. Just keep reading and talking to those friends. The feeling of peace is real.

So happy for you sis! I'd say start small, maybe find a local masjid or sister's group. They're usually super welcoming.

Mashallah, what a sincere journey. Fasting with your condition shows such dedication. Keep learning at your own pace.
