Seeking Guidance as a Newcomer to Islam

Salam everyone, I'm a non-Muslim who's recently started reading the Quran and I've got a couple of questions about Islamic beliefs. Coming from a Catholic background, I'm curious about things like: as a woman, are there specific times I should be attending the mosque for prayers? Also, how do Muslims seek forgiveness from Allah for any wrongdoings? Lately, I've been feeling really overwhelmed and a bit isolated, and I'm genuinely searching for spiritual truth. I've never visited a mosque before, and I'd love to go sometime to speak with an imam and learn more. May Allah guide us all.

Welcome! You can visit the mosque anytime. For prayers, the best are the five daily ones, but you can start slowly. Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) is special for community.

Seeking forgiveness is through sincere repentance (tawbah). Just ask Allah directly, regret it, and try not to repeat it. He is the Most Merciful.
