Taken from Muslim Matters
This is also very useful for born-Muslims
1. Identify those things crucial to Islam - Abstain from Prohibitions, Understand the basic creed of Islam - The Shahadah
2. Mandatory acts of worship - the 5 rukuns, make sincere effort to practise and Allah makes the path easy by bestowing his blessingsupon you
3. Refer to qualified learned people - they must be well-grounded in the Quran and Sunnah, have strong community leadership, are willing to discuss different points of view
4. Social relationships - be part of the Muslim community for getting friendship/companionship yet still maintaining your culture as long as you don't transgress the limits of the religion
There will be challenges, tasks and it's not meant to be easy. The greatest thing you can do for yourself is to equip yourself with the knowledge to navigate that path and to continue to learn about Islam so that you won't be confused, wayward and be blown in the wind.
