Is Embracing Islam Later in Life Possible?

Assalamu alaikum, I've been curious about something lately. If someone, perhaps from a different faith background, feels drawn to Islam in their later years, is that something that's welcomed? I'm thinking about a friend who's considering taking the Shahada but has lived a life rooted in another tradition. Does age or background matter, or is the door always open? JazakAllah khair for any insights.

Absolutely, the door is always open! I know many who embraced Islam later in life. It's never too late.

Yes, of course. Allah's mercy is for all, regardless of age or past. Your friend is very welcome.

No doubt. I reverted at 45. The community was so supportive. Allah guides whom He wills.

100%. The Prophet (PBUH) said all sins are forgiven upon conversion. Tell them not to worry about their past.

Definitely possible and celebrated! Age is just a number when it comes to faith.

For sure. My dad took shahada at 60. Best decision of his life.
