The Islamic convert explained that while the prayers were meaningful, he did not complete the full 20 rak’ahs traditionally performed in Taraweeh.
“It wasn’t as long as I expected, but I didn’t stay for 20. Insha’Allah, I’ll make it to 20 by the end of Ramadan,” he said.
He noted that standing for the prayers was manageable and expressed determination to gradually build endurance.

In his words:
“Seeing the different names of Allah made me want to take more time to study the language and understand it better."
The new convert also expressed excitement about returning to the mosque. He said this while describing Ramadan as a unique period of unity and spiritual growth.
He said:
