Top Islamic Resources For New Reverts: Books, Apps, and More

This guide was created with love to support sisters like you especially if you’re just starting your journey. I’ve gathered a list of books, apps, YouTube channels, and other top Islamic resources for new reverts that helped me (and others I know) stay grounded and inspired in the early days of Islam. Whether you’re looking for answers, spiritual nourishment, or just something to make things simpler—I’ve got you.

Reverting to Islam is a beautiful, transformative experience, but it can also feel overwhelming. Between learning how to pray, understanding the Qur’an, and figuring out how to stay connected to the deen in your daily life, it’s easy to feel lost. If that’s where you are right now, take a deep breath. You’re not alone.

Books for Building Your Foundation

1. “The New Muslim Guide” by Fahd Salem Bahammam

If you want a clear, picture-filled, beginner-friendly guide to Islam, this book is perfect. It covers everything from how to make wudu and pray, to what Muslims believe, with practical tips for daily life.

2. “Don’t Be Sad” by Dr. Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni

This book is like a warm hug. It gently weaves Islamic teachings into emotional wellness and reminds you that Allah is always near even in hard times.

3. “Reclaim Your Heart” by Yasmin Mogahed

Written in a soulful, feminine voice, this book speaks directly to the emotional and spiritual transformation many reverts go through. It helps untangle worldly attachments and reconnect your heart with Allah.

4. “In the Footsteps of the Prophet” by Tariq Ramadan

This biography of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ focuses on his character and mercy. It’s less about facts and more about how he lived and how we can follow his example with softness and strength.

Apps to Keep You Connected Daily

1. Muslim Pro

Great for daily prayer times, Qibla direction, a digital Qur’an, du’as, and even a Hijri calendar. Just be mindful that some ads can be distracting upgrading to the ad-free version is worth it if you use it often.

2. Pillars App

This is one of my favorite top Islamic resources for new reverts. Simple, beautiful, and made specifically for prayer times. It doesn’t come with distractions or unnecessary features just clean, accurate notifications to help you stay consistent with your salat.

3. Quranly

Think of it like a habit tracker for your Qur’an reading. This app makes it easier to build a relationship with the Qur’an even if you’re only reading one verse a day. The gentle encouragement is so motivating.

4. Muslim Central

This app collects Islamic lectures and podcasts from popular, trusted scholars like Mufti Menk, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan, and Shaykh Omar Suleiman. Great for listening while driving, walking, or doing chores.

Online Platforms & YouTube Channels

1. Yaqeen Institute

Another one of my favorite top Islamic resources for new reverts is Yaqeen Institute. This platform breaks down deep Islamic concepts into beautiful, accessible articles and videos. If you’ve ever asked “why?” about something in Islam, they likely have a clear answer backed by scholarship.

2. Digital Mimbar (YouTube)

A treasure trove of khutbahs (Friday sermons) and talks from global speakers. This channel is especially helpful when you need a spiritual boost or don’t have access to a local masjid.

3. Iman Channel Revert Stories

Sometimes what you need most is to hear your story reflected back to you. These stories remind us that reverts are part of a beautiful, growing sisterhood and that your journey is valid, even with its ups and downs.

2. Nourish by Iman (Instagram + Website)

A calming, feminine space run by a revert sister. Her reminders, journaling prompts, and online retreats are tailored for soft-hearted growth and spiritual connection.

This space was created with love to remind you that being a Muslim woman is joyful, healing, and empowering. You’ll find recipes, beauty tips, and reflections to help you embrace Islam while staying true to your heritage and softness.

Final Reflections

Islam is a lifelong journey, not a checklist. You don’t have to learn everything overnight. Start small. Pick one book, one app, one habit and let your connection with Allah bloom at your own pace.

If you’re ever feeling confused, discouraged, or even just curious, come back to this list. And remember: Allah sees every effort you make, every tear, every prayer even if you whisper it in broken Arabic. You are loved, guided, and never alone.
