The Journey begins.

A couple of weeks ago I started questioning myself about my ability of understanding Islam in today's world. Questions appeared out of nowhere...Did I actually know about my religion or was I just an onlooker who kept their head down and got on with life. I wanted to expand my limited knowledge and reach out for help. Sometimes I was scared but other times the drive to succeed was overwhelming and that’s when I decided I would do anything and everything to learn about myself, my religion. It took a lot of courage (I know I feel so ashamed) to email the Islamic Society at my university to ask if I could join. From there is where my journey of learning the right path to Islam started.

So I would like to know how your journey started. How did you come about it? What resources helped you engage with certain topics like hadith or divorce? Who did you go for help in understanding Islam?
