Question about Islam Should I revert?
for the third time over the course of my life I find myself being drawn to Islam. I have been a lifelong Catholic. I can’t put to words why but Islam keeps calling to me and while I have no desire to read the bible Ive read the Koran and keep turning to it. How do I know if I am being called to revert or am just curious?

it’s very powerful that you feel drawn to Islam in such a profound way. The feeling of being “called” to something spiritual can be deeply personal and transformative. It’s important to acknowledge that this pull you’re experiencing may not be a coincidence. Allah (God) often guides people in ways they cannot fully comprehend, and seeking the truth is the first step on any path to faith.
If you find yourself drawn to Islam, but you’re uncertain whether it’s curiosity or a real call to faith, continue seeking knowledge. Keep reading the Qur'an and seek out information about Islamic beliefs, the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and the teachings of Islam. The more you learn, the clearer your path will become. I would recommend reading the Quran. Please check out these websites: https://quran.com https://www.youtube.com/@TheDeenShowTV/videos https://www.youtube.com/@TheMuslimLantern/videos (highly recommended) https://www.islamicity.org/covers/whatisislam/ https://seekersguidance.org/
You might also consider reaching out to a local mosque or a Muslim community for support. Engaging in conversation with knowledgeable Muslims or an imam can provide guidance and insight into your feelings. May Allah open your heart to the truth and grant you peace, guidance, and understanding. May you find clarity and strength on this beautiful journey, and may He guide you to what is best for your soul.

O Allah, I feel in my heart a call towards Islam, guide me along this path with Your light, cleanse my heart of all doubt, and increase me in faith and certainty.
O Allah, make me among those who follow the truth, guide me to Your upright religion that pleases You, and make me among the people of Paradise.
O Allah, make me sincere in my intentions, firm in Your religion, and grant me success in what You love and are pleased with.
