Thinking About Embracing Islam: Is It Time?

Hey everyone, I wanted to share something that's been on my mind. I'm not a Muslim right now, but I've been spending a lot of time reading the Quran and learning about Islam. The teachings really speak to me, and I feel like my own beliefs are lining up with what I'm discovering. But honestly, I'm a bit confused about the difference between just having beliefs and having real faith. Right now, I'm in a phase where I'm questioning everything. Lately, I catch myself thinking about God all the time. Even though I can't fully picture what this loving, just, and pure presence is like, it's always there in my thoughts. Sometimes I wonder how we can be sure that God listens, sees, and answers us. I've explored different religions over the years, and Islam is the only one that has ever felt truly right to me. A while back, I got turned off by some extreme ideas that confused me, so I took a break from it for some time. After stepping away, I even tried following another path for a bit, but deep down, it never felt completely genuine. Since then, I've kept learning and searching, and no matter what, my heart and mind keep guiding me back to Islam. All the doubts and confusion make it hard to see things clearly sometimes, but now, I really believe there's only one true God. So... what do you think? Should I take the step and embrace Islam? 😊
