From Catholic to Muslim: My Journey of Faith
Assalamu alaikum everyone, I was raised Roman Catholic, and my grandmother was especially devout. All my friends are Catholic too, so Catholicism is really all I've ever known. But for about seven months now, I've felt this strong pull toward Islam. I'm just so confused and lost-I feel guilty, like I'd be betraying everyone around me, and I'm scared of hell and judgment too. Not knowing Arabic makes the idea of prayers overwhelming, on top of my religious doubts. Has anyone else made this switch from Catholicism to Islam? I don't have anyone in my circle to talk to about this. I've read the Qur'an and feel this heavy draw, but I just feel alone in it all. I've been learning about Islam, and people sometimes ask if I'm Muslim because I dress modestly like many Muslims do-I've even faced some disapproval from other Catholics for it. Deep down, I feel Islam is my truth, but I'm honestly feeling lost about what to do next.
