I remember being struck by the incredible outpouring of loving support I received, upon my first visit. It was even more affirmation that I had truly 'come home'.

I seek forgiveness for posting to an old thread, but I enjoy reading about the first impressions of those who have reverted.
 
The first time I went to the Masjid was when I wasn't a Muslim, and I went with my friend because she had to pray there. I stayed in the sister's area and was on my phone the whole time lol. I tried not to make eye contact with anyone because I felt so out of place without a hijab on. I heard the Imam reciting Surah Al Fatiha and it made me shiver, and I remember thinking it was really beautiful, SubhanAllah.

The first time I actually prayed as a Muslim, I think it was Taraweeh and I was so scared that I would accidentally laugh or something that I only prayed Witr. But just those Rakah I prayed were mind blowing and I have tried to go to the Masjid as much as I can now because I love praying alongside other people.
 
The first mosque was a very young age that I visited the Mosque of Van in Turkey was Hz.Ömer. I found a really great and peaceful I was 3-4 years old. :)
 
I believe I was 3-5 years old when I first went to a Mosque. Back then the Mosque was an apartment for many years until a few years ago after years of raising money...they finally built an actual building to be a Mosque, location is bad(in the "ghetto" part of town....) but it's beautiful. I am guessing they chose that place(and not in the main part of town) because the local churches would be outraged at there being a Mosque in their midst...
 
I haven't been (too chicken) but I finally got a response back from my local masjid about the new muslims class. :p I will report back when I finally go.
 
I still remembered my first visit to a Mosque when i was in Brunei Darussalam. It was a beautiful Masjid with golden dome, with some colourful fountains. The place itself is very peaceful. i felt an inner peace and tranquility. I liked the fact that Muslims from different races and cultural background were sitting next to each other. I met some sisters from Bangladesh, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Pakistan, India and Mali. There were many new muslims or converts who mostly were philipinos, Sri Lankan and black american. I saw diversity in the Masjid. They seems to be united because of their religion.
