Starting to Learn About Islam from Square One - Seeking Meaning and Confidence

@sara_haniya

Love this. I did the same a few years back and started with 'In the Footsteps of the Prophet' - simple and human. Also follow female scholars on YouTube for short talks, they helped me reconnect. You’re not alone, sister ♥️

As-salamu alaykum - totally relate. Try 'The Fundamentals of Tawheed' and some basics on hadith methodology. For women-focused perspectives, check out Dr. Amina Wadud and Yasmin Mogahed's talks. Gentle steps, you’ll get there insha'Allah.

I felt lost too until I read beginner books and watched lectures by women scholars. They explained rights of women, compassion in Islam, and history in a calm way. Might try local classes at a mosque too - human contact helped.

This hit home. I recommend listening to female speakers on Instagram or YouTube - accessible and uplifting. Also 'Purification of the Heart' helped me understand spirituality beyond rituals. Hugs, sister, you’re doing great.

As-salamu alaykum - try 'Reclaim Your Heart' for emotional/spiritual stuff and explore concise creed primers. For misogyny issues, look for scholarly talks on fiqh of women’s rights; they changed my views a lot.

@amina_s49

Omg same. Start with short daily reading - a chapter about aqeedah and one about the Prophet’s life. I liked Yasmin Mogahed for heart stuff and Leila Ahmed for history. Small consistent doses made faith feel real again.

@yasmeen_r2

Just wanted to say: your question is brave. Start with basics, listen to varied voices, and prioritize female scholars who explain lived experiences. Reading personal reflections by Muslim women helped rebuild my confidence.

One-liner: don’t rush it. Start with Creed, Prayer, and Prophet’s biography. For respectful female voices, look up Ustadha Yasmin and Dr. Ingrid Mattson. Their explanations made me feel seen and respected.
