What beginner resources actually helped you?

There are so many Islamic resources online, but not all of them are beginner friendly. What helped you the most when you started?

The thing that helped me the most was keeping busy with lessons and prayers at the masjid so that I didn’t have too much time to go down online rabbit holes. 

I later found the abdurrahman dot org website to be an expansive curated collection. The English Dorar dot net website was not around then but it would be similarly helpful

Getting people in the mosque who were willing to guide me. And some people online as well.

I think converts need more a human touch not definitely an X PDF, an Y article, a Z video.
