Looking to Embrace Islam but Not Sure Where to Start

As-salamu alaykum, everyone. I'm a guy from Mumbai, born into a Hindu family, but honestly, I never felt a real connection to that religion. Things like idol worship and rituals never resonated with me. Over time, I've come to feel that Islam might be where I truly belong-it just feels more in tune with my heart. The tricky part is, since I grew up in an area where Hindus are the majority, I don't have any Muslim friends to chat with or learn from about Islam. Does anyone have advice on what I should do to begin this journey? JazakAllah khair for any help!

MashaAllah brother, this is amazing news. May Allah make it easy for you. Start by learning the shahada and try to visit a local mosque if you can.

Wa alaikum assalam! I'd recommend reading a good translation of the Quran to understand the core message. Also, there are lots of great online resources and scholars you can listen to.

In Mumbai, just go to a masjid after prayers. People will be happy to help you, trust me.

Just take the shahada. That's your first step. Everything else follows. May Allah guide you.

Check if there's an Islamic center near you. They usually have new Muslim programs. May Allah make the path clear for you.

This warmed my heart today. Brother, your sincerity is everything. Start slow, learn the basics of prayer. Don't overwhelm yourself.
