How can I start learning about Islam?

As-salamu alaykum. I’m not a Muslim, and I don’t really follow any religion, but I’m genuinely curious about Islam. Living in the UK, I’ve noticed some Islamophobia rising in certain areas, and I want to educate myself, and hopefully help clear up some misconceptions among my friends. Any tips on where to begin?

Aww, welcome! Honestly, just visiting a local mosque and talking to sisters there helped me a lot when I was learning. They’re always happy to answer questions, no pressure.

MashaAllah, this is lovely. Start with simple basics-the five pillars and the concept of Tawheed. There’s an app called 'My Islam' with daily reminders that’s super beginner-friendly. Sending you good vibes!

That’s awesome, sis! I’m a revert from Sweden and I started with just reading the Quran. For misconceptions, check out Dr. Shabir Ally’s videos-he’s super kind and clear. May Allah guide you!

Love your curiosity! I’d say begin with the Seerah (life of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him). It’s so touching and gives a good feel for the faith. There’s a series on YouTube by a sister, Ustadha Fatima, that’s really nice.
