How to Begin My Journey as a Muslim

Salam Alaikum, everyone. I’ve been through a really dark time-years of feeling empty and anxious, stuck in a meaningless loop. I wasted so much time just scrolling on my phone and sometimes doing things I shouldn’t have. My life was a mess and I couldn’t find a reason to stop. But lately, something changed. I felt this pull to leave atheism behind because it made everything feel pointless. I started looking into faith again, and Islam really touched my heart. Now I’m ready to turn my life around and learn more, but I’m lost. I don’t know where to start, and I’m scared of messing up. I need guidance, but there’s no mosque in my city. I checked nearby mosques online, but most posts are in Arabic, so I worry I can’t connect. Any advice for a new Muslim?

Akhi, don’t let the Arabic barrier worry you. I reverted 2 years ago from a remote town in Russia. Learned everything online-there’s loads of resources. Start with the Shahada if you haven’t yet; repeat it with conviction.

Brother, your story hits close. I was lost in atheism too until Allah guided me. Start small: learn to pray by watching English YouTube videos-it’s what saved me. Don’t stress over mistakes; Allah’s mercy is huge.
