Overwhelmed with the Basics

Assalamu alaikum, I'm a new Muslim living in a small American town with no Muslim community around. Right now, the internet is my only teacher, and honestly, it's a lot to take in. I'm trying to remember all the details about Islam, but it feels impossible. I want to feel close to Allah, but I'm not even sure I'm praying correctly. Being at this early stage is overwhelming-I just don't know how to handle everything I haven't learned yet. If anyone has advice, I'd really appreciate it. JazakAllah khair.

Honestly, the early days are so heavy but also so beautiful. Your heart is in the right place. Just focus on one thing at a time and make lots of dua.

Hang in there! Even born Muslims struggle. Just keep your intention pure and keep learning. Allah's mercy is vast.

I feel you! I'm a revert too and it's so easy to get overwhelmed. Just know Allah sees your effort, even if your prayer isn't perfect yet.

Salam! Maybe try finding online sisters' halaqas or one-on-one mentoring. Having someone to guide you makes a huge difference. I've been there and it gets better, I promise.
