You do not need to learn all of Islam today. This first part gives you a map: who Allah is, why you are here, what Muslims believe, how Allah has guided humanity, who Muhammad ﷺ is, what the Qur'an is, and what to expect when you first walk into a masjid.
Take these lessons in order if you can. Go slowly. Come back when you need to. The goal is not to finish quickly — it is to begin with a foundation that makes the rest of Islam easier to understand.
If you became Muslim very recently: start with Lesson 1 and keep going one step at a time. You are not expected to already know the words, the customs, or how everything fits together. That is what this path is here to teach you.
01The Shahadah — What You Just SaidThe testimony that brought you into Islam, what its two parts mean, and why you do not need to know everything yet
02Who Is Allah?The One God Muslims worship, what Tawhid means, and why you can turn directly to Allah

04The Five Pillars — What Muslims DoShahadah, Salah, Zakat, fasting Ramadan, and Hajj — a simple map of the five pillars before you learn the details
05The Six Articles of Faith — What Muslims BelieveAllah, the angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and Qadr — the foundations of Muslim belief
06Adam عليه السلام, Human Choice & ShaytanAdam's repentance, human responsibility, what Islam teaches about inherited sin, and who Iblis and Shaytan are
07Allah Has Always Sent Guidance — Prophets & MessengersHow Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jonah, Jesus, Muhammad ﷺ and other Prophets fit into one continuing story of guidance
08The Books Allah RevealedThe Tawrah, Zabur, Injil, Qur'an and earlier scriptures — and what Muslims mean when they believe in Allah's revealed Books
09Meet Muhammad ﷺ — The Final MessengerA first look at his life, the beginning of revelation, Makkah, the Hijrah, Madinah, and his mission as Allah's final Messenger
10The Qur'an — The Final RevelationWhat the Qur'an is, how it was revealed, why Arabic matters, and how translations help you begin understanding it
11Your First Visit to a MasjidWhat the building may look like, where women and men pray, what the carpet and prayer rows mean, how to follow an Imam you cannot see, and how to bring a non-Muslim guest
Words you do not know yet? That is normal. As New To Islam grows, unfamiliar Islamic words will have simple definitions you can open without leaving the lesson. For now, keep going even when a word is new — it will become familiar with time.
