Salaam alaykum, brothers and sisters.

My name is Caroline, I'm an American girl of Turkish descent, so I look like an everyday Turk.
I live in the United States, and am studying foreign languages at college.

In early 2013, I had my first experience with Islam when a friend of mine invited me to her mosque. I have to admit, I was at hesitant about going at first, because I knew almost nothing about Islam, but my friend talked me into going, so I went, and after the service had concluded, I had a completely positive view of the religion.
I was surprised by how calm and spiritual the service was, and by how beautiful the readings of the Qu'ran in Arabic were. And the muslims there were so kind and understanding, the whole experience just made me more open to Islam.

After that experience, I contemplated about converting for a while, but didn't because I didn't know what I would be getting into. Eventually I didn't care about what others would think of me anymore, and I converted in the safety of my bedroom late one night.

Honestly, I feel like I've found my place in life, and as I said, I don't care what other people think of me, I plan on sticking with Islam all my adult life.

Thank you, everyone.

Welcome to the forum.

Wonderful news on your new found faith. As a born muslim, I still have lots to learn and many things needing greater research. In this day and age, everyone seems to be an 'expert' in their own interpretation of things.

Remember that as muslims we are to serve Allah and strive for good in His way. Take it slowly and learn the basics first. If Allah wills it, you will find the journey a fulfilling one.

In the meantime feel free to browse the threads and ask questions or even start your own if you haven't found any that covers it.


:peace:
