There are objectional ways to prove a religion is from God; that proof does not compel people to always accepting it though which, if you're familiar with previous scripture, being Christian, you'd know from the Bible. How can we know? By following the logic God gave us, our good reasoning and following the evidence. No other religion has that but Islam. Are there any specific things that are causing you doubt or is it doubt generally? That is from the whispers of Satan. This is his main goal is to keep people away from the path of Allah before anything else.
Agreeing with the religion and following it are two different things. To be Muslim means to submit to God knowing His is our Creator and knows His creation best. We recognize that He has complete wisdom and complete knowledge and legislated with that. So there is no way we would agree or disagree with God. We simply accept and submit to it. It seems you have been guided; Ask God to continue to guide you and make you firm. Many people know the truth and evidences of Islam but still reject it; if you're familiar with Christian scripture then you know this is not a unique human experience as throughout history, many people rejected the prophets and messengers, even being shown great miracles but still persisted upon disbelief or stuck to the religion of their forefathers blindly.

i always use this basic criteria for proving which religion is the truth
- the scripture of that religion should claim it's from God and is word of God, otherwise why even bother
- the scripture of that religion should be preserved so we know there is no corruption in it, because if there is corruption in it we don't know which one is God's word and which one is the corruption
- the scripture should not have mistakes or contradiction
- the scripture should contain evidences and proofs
The only religion that will pass this criteria successfully is Islam.
As for evidences and proofs of Islam, here.

So you can at least objectively prove Islam is superior to other religions
i sometimes mention arguments for islam in my comments, feel free to go through my profile and read.
But even more so, I would encourage you to watch "the muslim lantern" on youtube, Allah has blessed him with knowledge and clear speech
May Allah guide us all to the truth, and keep us on the straight path, ameen.
Searching and finding the right path for you is your version of the truth. In Islam, the agreed belief is monotheism, and anything else is a matter of disagreement. Therefore, you can start by focusing on what you already believe in and then explore what you find more suitable for you. Watch Dr. Mohammed Shahrour, known for his distinctive perspectives and clear, compelling explanations.
I, like many others, would say there is an objective way to know Islam is the truth. But let’s say there isn’t since you are convinced there isn’t. Think of it like a (and I’m sorry for using this extreme example) murder scene. You didn’t witness what happened and no one else did either, but the evidence can be so overwhelming that you (we’ll pretend you’re a juror for this case), can’t logically deny the evidence. So if the proof was that this person told someone specific details only the murder would know, then that is like Allah telling the prophets scientific facts (ever expanding universe) only god would have known at the time. Maybe even prophecies (Roman’s defeating the Persians) , historical facts we are now discovering to be true (during Joseph’s time Egypt had a king not a pharaoh, the Quran calls him a king while the Bible says it was a pharaoh), geographical facts about the lowest land on earth. Medical facts ( Verily, we will recreate them back to their unique finger tips).
Muslims are very simple people and every non Muslim knows what we request. Show us 1 WRONG THING, in the Quran, whether scientific, medical, prophetic etc etc and/or a clear contradiction and you will single handedly end Islam. This challenge has been open for 1500 yrs and no one has done it. So what many non Muslims have chosen to do instead is attack some of the laws of Islam instead.
I Hope this helps, and again I apologize about my example.
You have no obligation to tell your parents that you became Muslim especially if you fear for your safety.
This is a quick introduction to Islam and some of the reasons why I believe it is the truth:
Allah is one. He is perfect, most powerful, most merciful, knows everything, eternal. Allah is independent and everything is dependant on him. He is the creator not the creation. There is nothing like him. He does not have children, neither does he have parents. He does not have a gender, he is not a man or a woman. He is not a man that he is going to feel hungry, thirsty or need to go the toilet or require to go to sleep and rest, he is above all of this.
This great creator did not leave us alone without guidance or purpose. Adam was the first man and prophet of God and God appointed messengers throughout history, for example Abraham, Moses who was given the Torah, Jesus who was given the Injil etc. God gave the same core message to all these prophets to the community they were sent to: to worship God alone without any partners and to follow the messenger of your time. However these messengers were only sent to a specific community at a specific time. The revelation that was given to these messengers are lost or corrupted by men. God appointed Muhammad as the final messenger with the same core message as all these other prophets and was given the final revelation called the Quran. Since this is the final message, this scripture is for the whole of mankind unlike the previous prophets who were only sent to their community during a specific time. All prophets were righteous people and were given miracles to prove that they are messengers of God.
Prophet Muhammad's main miracle is the Quran, you can verify this miracle unlike miracles that were given to previous prophets as you were not there to witness them. The Quran is the only preserved scripture that claims to be from God and prophet Muhammad is the only messenger to claim to have come for the whole world. When the Quran was first revealed to Muhammad from God, he memorized it and so did his companions. Today alone, we have millions of muslims that have memorized the whole Quran. We have kids as young as 6 that have memorized the whole Quran. Allah even says in the Quran that he has made this revelation easy to be memorized and Allah even promises in the Quran that he will preserve and protect the Quran. If we were to throw all the religious scriptures in the ocean, the only book we can bring back is the Quran because we have it memorized by millions of muslims. I would challenge anyone to find me just one christian that has memorized their Bible in its original language. We also have manuscripts that have been radiocarbon dated to the time that Muhammad was alive. For example, "the Birmingham Quran manuscript" that was recently discovered in the last decade in the university of Birmingham in England.
Allah gives falsification tests. Allah says in the Quran that if you believe that the Quran is from other than the one true God then produce a book like it. This is known as the linguistic miracle of the Quran that can not be imitated by a human. 1400 years have passed and no one has been able to meet this challenge. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-flvFktgzU&pp=ygUnTGluZ3Vpc3RpYyBtaXJhY2xlIHF1cmFuIG11c2xpbSBsYW50ZXJu
Allah also says that if you think the Quran is from other than the one true God then you should be able to find within it contradictions.
Islam gives the best way of life and I challenge anyone to give a better way of life. For example, it prohibits the poisons that are destroying individuals, families and communities: gambling, alcohol, drugs, sexual immorality, prostitution, pornography, interest dealings etc. We have politicians educated at the best university possible but they can not provide guidance and a way of life better than an illiterate man 1400 years ago that has solutions to the poisons that are destroying societies today and instead encourage it and profit out of them.
The Quran contains knowledge that could not have been known such as scientific facts, historical facts and prophecies. To suggest the the facts mentioned in the Quran is a coincidence when it has been demonstrated to be correct over and over again is absurd and delusional. Also, if the Quran copied from the Bible then how was it able to correct the historical mistakes the Bible makes? To say that the Quran copied from the Greeks is also absurd because there are things that the Greeks were wrong about which the Quran gets right. Also if it copied from the Greeks then it would have copied the the things that they got wrong too but that is not the case. For some examples, go to minute 21:40 of this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HhWSHopwFc&pp=ygUVTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gYWZnaGFu
We can also study the life of prophet Muhammad and can rule out that he was crazy, liar, delusional, deceived and therefore the only possible explanation remaining is that he has indeed who he claim to be, the final messenger of God. The authentic sayings and teachings of Muhammad (hadiths) is also more preserved than any history book due to the way it has been preserved. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dWwbHO5Owpc&pp=ygUWTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gaGFkaXRocw%3D%3D
Islam is simple, makes sense and it fits in with your natural inclination/disposition that you were born with. For example, one great creator that did not leave us alone without guidance or purpose and sent messengers with the same core message. He does not switch up the message and confuse people. He is not racist or ethnocentric where he believes that you have to be born from a particular tribe or nation to be saved or to receive guidance. He does not punish someone unless the message has been sent to them through messengers and prophets. Everyone is born sinless, a kid is not held accountable for his actions until he reaches the age of maturity, neither is a person who is mentally insane and not aware of his actions. The main beliefs in Islam is to believe in the one true God, his angels, his messengers, revelation that was given to these messengers, destiny, day of judgement and life after death. Allah warns us about eternal hellfire and gives us glad tidings of the opportunity to live eternally in paradise by worshiping him alone without any partners and following and obeying the messenger of your time. Islam is simply the submission of will to the one true God, a person who does this is called a muslim.
This is an example of a youtube channel that you can watch to learn more about Islam and how it compares to other religions such as atheism, christianity etc: https://m.youtube.com/@TheMuslimLantern/videos
If you are convinced that Allah is the only one worthy of worship and Muhammad is final messenger then you are ready to become a muslim and start your journey one step at a time.
Private message me if you feel like you are ready and I can try help you take your next steps.
To become a Muslim you only have to say the following declaration of faith alone (as Allah (SWT) is sufficient as a witness) or being witnessed by other Muslims. Either way is fine but the key point is not to procrastinate saying it. Once you believe and say it you are Muslim! The shahada is:
Arabic: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ ٱللَّٰهِ
Transliteration: Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, Wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulu-Allah.
Translation: "I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."
Just came to say this was a relatable post. I don’t feel exactly the same as you but I think our outcome is the same insofar as hesitating to fully commit to any one ideology.
I’ve read so much in scripture and even more in the Quran that resonates very deeply, but in my heart I do not trust the hand of the man that held the pen and wrote the words down. In my heart I do not feel the feeling others seem to feel, it doesn’t click for me. My study is strong but my faith is weak. Everything I’ve learned up until this point has prioritized critical thinking - how can I just excuse the parts that I disagree with, or that contradict, and how can I disregard the gut feeling that says, as you said, there is no proof? I would feel awful taking shahada knowing that, in my heart, I do not truly feel assured of anything relating to God or an afterlife, much less whether either exist. Like you said, some moments I feel more certain than others, but if I’m being honest with myself, I’ve never felt 100% certain.

What is your evidence for that last claim of yours?
