A Gentle Home for New Muslim Hearts
Reverting to Islam is not merely a change of belief—it is a journey of the soul, often walked quietly, bravely, and sometimes alone. At mydearbook.com, this page exists for you—the seeker, the learner, the one finding Allah step by step.
Whether you embraced Islam yesterday or years ago, this space is designed to support you with clarity, compassion, and dignity.
You are not starting from zero, you are starting from sincerity
You are not starting from zero, you are starting from sincerity
Islam does not erase who you were. It honors the good already within you. Your life experience, your struggles, your questions—they all matter. Reverts often feel pressure to “know everything” quickly. Islam does not demand that.
Allah looks at your intention, not your speed.
“Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear.”
— Quran 2:286
What To Start With
What You Truly Need as a Revert
(Not pressure. Not perfection.)
You need:
Clear explanations without assumptions
Simple, step-by-step learning
Safe spaces to ask “basic” questions
Spiritual reassurance, not constant correction
Trust that Allah is patient with you
Islam was revealed gradually—and so is understanding.
Learning Islam the Right Way
Simple before advanced. Faith before form.
On mydearbook.com, we focus on what truly matters first:
Understanding who Allah is
Learning prayer slowly and correctly
Knowing what is obligatory vs. optional
Distinguishing religion from culture
Building faith before rules
You do not need to master everything today. Islam is a lifelong companion, not a checklist.
You Are Allowed to Ask Questions
Even the uncomfortable ones
Questions are not signs of doubt—they are signs of engagement. Many of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were new Muslims who asked freely and learned gradually.
Here, your questions are welcome:
“Why do we pray this way?”
“What if I still struggle?”
“What if my family doesn’t accept me?”
Islam grew through conversation, mercy, and wisdom—not silence.
Faith Grows Quietly
Do not compare your inside to someone else’s outside
Some Muslims grew up in Islam. Some came to it later. Allah chose you at this time for a reason only He knows.
Your sincerity today may outweigh someone else’s routine.
“Indeed, Allah guides whom He wills.”
— Quran 28:56

Anna Müller – Munich, Germany
Anna, once a philosophy student in Munich, found herself disillusioned with modern materialism. During her studies on ethics, she encountered the writings of Al-Ghazali. The harmony between intellect and faith in Islam fascinated her. A visit to Istanbul’s mosques during a student trip changed everything — the adhan echoing through the streets felt like a personal call. After returning home, she quietly embraced Islam. Her parents were confused but respectful. Today, Anna volunteers at a women’s interfaith dialogue center, often saying, “Islam didn’t erase my identity; it refined my purpose.”
Thomas Reid – Glasgow, Scotland
Thomas was a guitarist in a local pub band, living for music and nightlife. After a serious car accident, he spent weeks recovering, reflecting on life’s fragility. A Muslim nurse often spoke to him about gratitude and prayer. Her calmness intrigued him. He began reading the Qur’an — first out of curiosity, then with conviction. In 2019, he took shahadah at the Glasgow Central Mosque. The pub scene was replaced by community service. Thomas says Islam gave him “discipline, direction, and the rhythm of peace.”
Sofia Lindström – Uppsala, Sweden
Raised in a secular Swedish household, Sofia loved structure and meaning. During her master’s in anthropology, she lived in Morocco for research and was deeply touched by the spiritual hospitality she experienced. Fasting during Ramadan with her host family was transformative — she felt connected to something vast yet intimate. On returning to Sweden, she embraced Islam. Despite social isolation, she built a small revert sisters’ group in Uppsala, offering support and tea every Friday. Sofia calls her journey “a quiet revolution of the heart.”
