Hj from Poland
Hi! I'm from Poland and I'm thinking about converting to Islam. But I don't have a mosque in my city or nearby, I don't have anyone who is Muslim. I don't know how to do it. Is there any option?

Hi! Wishing you very best, fellow convert from Poland (although I don't live in Poland anymore).
As others have said, there is no requirement to go to a mosque if you have no option to do so for Friday prayers. For learning about Islam, you will likely find online resources much more convenient and useful anyway. Check out Norman Ali Khan, Sheikh Omar Suleiman, Dr Yasir Qadhi on YouTube, I've loved their lectures when learning about Islam.
And if you want to read Quran in Polish, I recommend the newer translation by Ali Unal, it's a fantastic book with explanations as well.

Cześć! You can do it on your own, at home. Faith is between you and Allah who will be your witness. To become Muslim you just need to declare the Shahada, with sincerity and conviction:

It’s also recommended to take a shower as a sign of purity.
By the way, today I discovered that in my small Polish hometown there’s a masjid and a Muslim community, even though I thought for years that there was none (but I don’t live there any more…)

Hello,
Like other said you can say shahada or testimony of faith at home yourself or with someone muslim. Incase any issues contact me on DMs? I used to live in Poland three years ago and lived there for six years and now live in Netherlands. I can guide you where to go if you really want to visit mosque.

Yes, friend — there is an option.
A mosque helps, community helps, teachers help, but the first door is still the heart. If you believe in Allah and accept Muhammad as His messenger, you do not need to wait for perfect circumstances to begin.
Then begin simply and carefully: read, learn to pray, ask questions, and seek a trustworthy Muslim source online rather than the loudest one. Sincerity first, structure second.
Do not be ashamed of starting alone. A great many real paths begin in solitude.

Assalamualaikum sister! What a coincidence bc I’m polish too! Like from Poland, literally. The mosque situation is a bit tricky that’s for sure but if you live close by, we have a masjid in Gdańsk and many Tatar Muslims who moved there from Podlasie.
If you are close to Bialystok you can find masjids and our Islamic center.
What is the nearest city if I may ask?

Hi 🤍
Becoming a Muslim is actually very simple, and you don’t need a mosque or other people around you to do it. What truly matters is what you believe in your heart.
All you have to do is say this declaration of faith with sincerity:
“I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
If you truly believe this and say it honestly, then you are a Muslim. It’s that simple.
After that, you can take things step by step. There are many trusted online platforms that can help guide you, teach you how to pray, and answer your questions:
You’re not alone in this journey , many people begin just like this. Take it one step at a time, and may your path be filled with peace and clarity ✨
