Hello everyone
 
 I'm far from a muslim but wish I had not been so blind to it. I have never looked at things in this way.Even when I had went to  church, I have never been so moved. I'm 27 male , I was talking to my barber who is muslim. we talked a few times about it. I asked him if he would bring me something to read to learn about it. He gave to me the Qurah, It was the gift of all gifts. since I've been reading so many things came to mind. I feel as if it has taken over me in a sense. there is none better then Allah. I wake up saying it. i am confused on how so fast i feel the need. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on. But I feel not good enough for it. I dont want to let myself down. its really hard friends and family think i'm crazy. I try to tell them but they dont understand right now thats why i'm reading so I could show them. I feel bad for them if they wont save themselfs. so i'm trying to gain knowledge so they will understand they can be saved too. I'm just a beginner. with a strong need for Allah is great. There is no god except god

Than welcome to Islam NTA. The reaction from your family and friends is normal, I have seen it before. But they will get used to it. Islam is vast, it takes times to learn it. That is if you have enough time in the first place.
Islam is simple if you don't make it hard yourself.
 
salaam.

As Salaamulaikum Brother NTA.At some point in time we all have been new to Islam.Like Nothing said it can be as hard as you make it for yourself.May Allah make it easy for you.(Ameen) Brother it is ok embrace it.Ive heard of many who were born Muslims and not fully embraced Islam until threre40s.Still, Alhamduillah (All Praise is to Allah)
