Seeking Guidance as a Potential New Muslim!

Salam everyone! I'll try to keep this straightforward-I'm looking for advice on how to figure out if Islam is the right path for me. I was never too religious, but in recent years, I've felt a strong calling to Islam and its way of life. I haven't been great at studying the Quran or researching beliefs deeply, apart from the Five Pillars, and now I really want to start exploring it seriously. Could you recommend any helpful content creators on platforms like YouTube or Instagram? Also, how should I begin reading the Quran-from the start, or somewhere specific? For context, I live in a household that isn't accepting, so taking my shahada and wearing hijab might have to wait until I move out, insha'Allah. JazakAllah khair in advance for your support!

May Allah protect and guide you! Take baby steps. There's no rush. Even just learning about the Prophet's (PBUH) life can be a great start.

MashAllah sis! Start by listening to Nouman Ali Khan's Quran tafsir on YouTube. He explains things so clearly. Take it slow and may Allah make it easy for you!

Welcome! I'd suggest watching Omar Suleiman's videos too. And for Quran, maybe get a translation with simple notes. You can do this insha'Allah!

So inspiring! Your journey is yours alone, and Allah knows your circumstances. Just keep making dua and seeking knowledge. We're all here for you!

So proud of you for seeking truth! For Quran, maybe begin with the short surahs at the end (Juz Amma). They're beautiful and easier to connect with. Sending duas your way!

I love Mufti Menk's lectures! He's so gentle and wise. Also, remember your intention is everything right now. Allah sees your heart.

Start with Surah Al-Fatiha and Al-Ikhlas. They're the heart of the Quran. For creators, Yasmin Mogahed's talks really helped me understand the spiritual side.

Your situation is tough but so common. Allah tests those He loves. I recommend checking out @islamicreliefusa on IG for inspiration about faith in action. Stay safe sis.
