From the Qur'an, 2:286
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
Lā yukallifu-llāhu nafsan illā wusʿahā
“Allah does not burden a soul with more than it can bear.”
The opening of the final verse of Surah Al-Baqarah, a promise, not a pep talk.

Your first 30 days
The first morning as a Muslim has a particular feeling: joy with nowhere to put it, and forty browser tabs asking whether you're doing everything wrong. Close the tabs. This is one gentle month: what to learn, in what order, with everything one tap away, built on the only order of operations that works: the love comes first, and the practice grows out of it.
Week 1, Meet Him
Day 1
Meet the One you just found
No tasks today beyond this: you said the shahada, or you're circling it, and either way, the most important relationship of your life just began. Read what Al-Fatiha means in English. Say the shahada again, slowly. Talk to Allah in your own words, out loud or silently, He was listening long before you converted. A full shower (ghusl) to mark the fresh start is recommended, and quietly beautiful.
Days 2-3
Learn the washing
Wudu is nine steps and two minutes at any sink, and it becomes automatic faster than you think. This is also the day to print the pocket prayer card, you're allowed to read every word of the prayer from paper for as long as you need.
Days 4-7
Pray along, card in hand
Follow the four positions, say Allahu akbar between them, and read the rest off the card, praying imperfectly while learning is honored effort, not failure. Aim toward the five daily times; land where you land this week and keep going. One prayer prayed is worth infinitely more than five dreaded.
Week 2, Find the words
Days 8-12
Make Al-Fatiha yours
One verse at a time, listening on repeat, reciting in the prayers you're already praying. Most people have it within two weeks of steady repetition; there is no deadline and no test, the repetition inside the prayer is what makes it permanent.
Days 13-14
Your first Jummah
Friday, midday, the weekly gathering, shoes off at the door, follow along, nobody is watching for mistakes. Learn as-salāmu ʿalaykum and its reply first; being called brother or sister from day one is not a formality. Tell one person you're new: that sentence reliably produces tea, phone numbers, and standing invitations.
Week 3, Find your people
Days 15-17
Thread two du'as into your day
Pick two, before eating and before sleeping are the classics. Attach each to its moment rather than studying the list: put the page where the moment happens until the words say themselves.
Days 18-21
You were never meant to do this alone
Mosques across the graph run verified programs for new Muslims, mentorship, support groups, Islam 101, and every imam has heard every question you're saving up. If it's safe, this is also a good week to tell one person you love.
Week 4, Make it yours
Days 22-25
Add a second surah
Al-Kawthar is three verses, learnable today. Al-Ikhlas is four, and the Prophet ﷺ called it equal to a third of the Qur'an. Add one after Al-Fatiha and your prayers start feeling like yours.
Days 26-28
Read the answers you've been avoiding
The tattoos, the dog, the playlist, the questions you've been sitting on, read the straight answers, with sources. Knowledge is what kills the 2 a.m. anxiety.
Days 29-30
Look ahead, then look back
Glance at what's coming with zero pressure: your first Ramadan (the month you will eventually miss when it ends), and zakat for whenever you have savings to purify. Then come back to the beginning and read 2:286 again, you are carrying exactly what you can bear.
Path questions, answered
What if I fall behind the 30 days?
Then it takes 45, or 60, the month is a path, not a deadline, and nothing on it expires. The Prophet ﷺ said the most beloved deeds to Allah are the most consistent, even if small; a slow steady month beats a heroic abandoned week every time. Every box you check is pure gain, whenever you check it.
I haven't taken the shahada yet, can I still use this?
Absolutely. Learning about Islam before declaring it is how most reverts arrive, read the guides, learn the prayer's shape, sit with the meanings, visit a mosque. Day 1 will be there whenever you're ready, and nothing about exploring first is improper.
Where is my progress stored?
In your browser's localStorage only. Qadir has no accounts and collects nothing, your checkmarks never leave your device, and clearing your browser data resets them. The path works exactly the same with no boxes checked at all.
