Thinking about visiting a mosque but not sure about my beliefs?

Assalamu alaikum! I've been curious and want to learn more about Islam. Would it be respectful for someone who isn't Muslim to come to the mosque, maybe for a tour or just to observe? I don't want to disturb anyone, just to see how worship happens and maybe ask a few questions. Any advice on how to do this properly?

Go for it bro, no one will mind. Just take off your shoes at the entrance.

Absolutely, it's encouraged to learn. Call the mosque office to arrange a visit. They might even pair you with someone to guide you. Hope you have a meaningful experience.

That's wonderful! Most mosques welcome visitors. Just contact them beforehand, dress modestly, and be respectful. You'll find people are usually happy to answer questions.

Your intention is pure, so it's fine. Just be mindful not to walk in front of someone who's praying. Observing from the back is best.

It's totally ok. Maybe go for the Friday sermon if you want to see a larger gathering.

Respectful curiosity is always welcome. Wear clean, loose clothing. Avoid visiting during the main prayer times if you just want to look around quietly first.

Good on you for asking. Modest dress, quiet demeanor, and you're set. People are usually friendly to seekers.
