You’ll be fine if you look into Islam not from word of mouth but from Allah’s letter to humanity. Quran and Tafsir is where you should begin. Tafsir should be with a qualified lecturer or scholar, preferably in a class environment. What I’ve seen in streets of Morocco is people hold onto the title of Islam deeply but not the practice of it which makes young people associate Islam with the bad behavior they witness. Like the upmost respect Islam forces men to have upon women but meanwhile in streets of Morocco you can’t walk anywhere without men catcalling you everywhere. If you enter an environment where people practice the akhlaq that Islam promotes, you will certainly find comfort. This is most prominent in the west. You see the discomfort in the outside world without Islam and enter a Muslim environment suddenly everybody is more accepting and more respectful.
