Assalamu alaykum! I'm a new revert, here's my introduction post

[thatmuslimgirl]

Assalamu alaykum! I'm a new revert, I took my Shahada recently and I want to introduce myself. My family has some outdated ideas of what Islam truly is, so I can't wear a hijab yet until I'm an adult living independently. I found Islam after researching other religions and I felt drawn to this one when I researched it. I especially love how kind Muslims are, everybody is so willing to help each other. I get emotional thinking about it, but in a good way. I love listening to podcasts for learning about Islam and I like learning about things through literature, in fact I'm working on a whole list of books I want to read regarding Islam.

Wa alaykum assalam,

Welcome to the forum, sister. Alhamdulillah that Allah has guided you to Islam. May Allah increase you in knowledge and understanding of Islam and keep you steadfast, Ameen.

Wa-Alaikum Salam and Welcome Sister.

There is a lifetime worth of reading regarding Islam. There are a lot of books out there. Don't hesitate to write down some books referred by the scholars. Some are translated to english.

Walakum salaam sister,

what podcasts do you like listening to? I’m wondering if I may have produced some of them.
