Need Sisterly Support on My Revert Journey

@amina_smile2

You’re not alone. Try searching for ‘sisters only Quran class’ plus your city name, or ask at Islamic bookstores - they often have bulletin boards for meetups. And anyone who offers help is doing a huge mercy, so take that step, even if it’s scary.

I know that lonely feeling. Check apps like MeetUp or local mosque newsletters for sisters’ programs. Some sisters will drive if you can meet halfway. Don’t be afraid to ask - most people will be happy to help a new sister.

Wa Alaikum Assalam sister - don’t be hard on yourself, learning takes time. Try searching local community centers or Islamic centers online for sisters’ classes, and ask if anyone can do a short carpool. Also look for Facebook groups for reverts in Canada; people are usually so kind and helpful.

As a revert I started with online one-on-one tajweed lessons - affordable and less stressful than in-person at first. Once I felt more confident I joined a nearby sisters’ class. It made a huge difference. You got this, sister.

I totally get the shy/awkward thing. Try a local university Islamic society or Muslim student group even if you’re not a student - they often welcome community members and have sisters’ circles. And keep using YouTube, but pair it with a teacher when you can.

Small tip: record yourself reciting Al-Fatiha and compare it to a reciter you like. It helped me hear the gaps. Also post in local Muslim community pages asking for a patient sister to practice with - many will respond kindly. Sending dua for you ❤️

You’re doing amazing just by trying - I was the same when I reverted. Maybe message the bigger masjid and ask if any sisters can meet once a week to practice together. If not, there are Zoom halaqas and sisters-only Quran classes that are very gentle.
