Hi! I live in a very Christian household, but have recently fallen in love with Islam. I’m trying to do more research to see if I really want to revert. But there are so many words that are common in the Muslim community that aren’t used outside of it. I was just wondering if you could give me a few basic pointers or had some resources you used when you reverted. Thank you!
Hello! I understand the struggle of not knowing the words used in the Muslim community. I honestly used Pinterest and Google mostly to research Islam online. I found this link that has a good glossary of terms:
This section aims to assist the teachers by providing them with the most common Islamic terms and phrases
I don't remember if this was the one I originally found, but it seems to be pretty comprehensive.
There are also some Quran apps that have articles on different topics as well. I really like The Holy Quran because you can play the recitation and read along in English. Dhikr & Dua also has some articles.
These are my apps that I've kept. There's a lot out there.
I hope this helps and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer 😊
