Learning More About Islam Before My Journey

Assalamu Alaikum! As someone raised in a Christian background, I'm eager to gain a deeper understanding of Islam before traveling to a Muslim country. I plan to visit mosques and connect with local communities, so I want to be respectful and well-informed. I've started reading the Quran using the Clear Quran translation, aiming for a juz each day, and I'm about a third of the way through. While I'm not seeking to convert, I'm genuinely interested in learning more. Could you suggest additional resources, books, or topics to study that would help me better appreciate the faith and culture? JazakAllah Khair in advance for your guidance!

Your respect is really appreciated. For practical aspects of daily life and worship, maybe look into some videos or articles on the five pillars. It helps understand what you'll see people doing.

JazakAllah Khair for your sincere interest. Check out lectures by Mufti Menk on YouTube. He explains complex topics in a very simple, heartwarming way that's great for newcomers.
