Hello. I am a 32 year old American woman who is interested in Islam. I have been
non-religious all my life but at my job there is a Muslim woman and talking with
her has made me interested in Islam.
I have been reading about Islam and reading about people's experiences with
conversion. I have purchased a Quran and I try to read a little from it everyday.
I am hoping I can learn what others get from Islam to better understand my own feelings.

Hey Leah
Peace be upon you. Hope your well.
It's great to hear your interested in Islam and am glad you have challenged the mainstream attitude and views and are researching Islam yourself. It's the best way forward in everything in life. This is an amazing forum i use it even though i was born as a Muslim (Alhamdulilah - All praise is to Allah) i still feel the need to refresh my faith everyday. That's part of the faith as well. Improving one's character, good deeds, striving and being a better human being in all.
Am sure you will find this forum extremely useful and not only that you will have a deep insight into our way of thinking and views. It's great to see you've purchased your own copy of the Quraan but i believe you also need a good islamic teacher with you who can translate the meaning and interpret the words into context.
If you need any information i would strongly advise you to visit this forum http://www.kalamullah.com/ and click on new muslims. You can download online material for free and read in your own time.
I hope you reach a decision which pleases Allah (God) and yourself. Wishing you all the best & more.
Pain and hardships allow you to grow spiritually Alhamdulilah so smile when a so called calamity befalls upon you.
Alhamdulilah Allah swt is the greatest.

Peace be upon you. Welcome to the forum Leah, I hope you enjoy your time here.
if you have any concerns/questions feel free to ask and hopefully someone with knowledge will answer you.
Three simple rules in life:
1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place

Asalaamu alaykum Leah.
I know how you feel, as prior to my Shahada, I was much the same. I'd never placed much serious stock in any religion/religious views. But as I delved deeper and deeper into my research (independantly) of Islam I felt more and more drawn to it. Alhamdulillah. It all seems so long ago now.
If you need anything, I'm sure anyone and everyone here'd be more than overjoyed to help.
