Just Starting My Journey & Looking for Guidance

As-salamu alaykum, everyone. I'm brand new to this path and am really hoping for some advice. I was raised in a Baptist Christian home, but I've felt a strong pull to learn about Islam. Alhamdulillah, today is my second day of praying and reading the Quran. Since I'm just at the beginning, I'm honestly not sure where to turn for help. I live in Houston, Texas, and no one in my close family is Muslim, so I'm really hoping to find a supportive community.

Wa alaykum as-salam! So happy for you. Houston has a huge Muslim community. Try reaching out to a local masjid, they often have great programs for new sisters.
