How to Learn Arabic and Deepen My Understanding of Islam

Assalamu alaikum! I'm still a Christian, but I've been exploring Islam and recently received my own Quran. Now I'm trying to learn how to recite and read Arabic properly. Does anyone know of any free apps to help with recitation or practicing with transliterations? I also want to learn how to make dua, but there seem to be so many rakats to memorize-subhanAllah! On another note, I'm curious about taraweeh and much more. I spoke with an akhi today who seemed surprised by the knowledge I've picked up; he asked me who Aisha's father was, and I answered the first caliph. Then I mentioned the first fitnah, which he also understood. By the way, I really admire the modesty in Islamic clothing for men. What other topics do you think I should explore? JazakAllah khair!

I use Ayat app for recitation, it’s really good and free. Don’t stress about rakats, you’ll get them. Start with fard salah, step by step. Modesty is beautiful, right?

Love your curiosity! Check out Seerah, it’ll deepen your love for the Prophet. Quranic is a solid app for learning words. Welcome to the ummah, sis!

Wa alaikum assalam sis! So happy for your journey. For Arabic, try Quran Companion app-it’s free and has transliteration. May Allah guide you!

MashaAllah, you know about the first fitnah already? That’s impressive. Focus on tawheed first, sis-that’s the core. Dua will come naturally with time.

This is so wholesome! For taraweeh, just go to a masjid and observe-you’ll feel the tranquility. May Allah make it easy for you. And that akhi asking about Aisha’s father... lol, he wasn’t ready for you!
