How does one get into philosophy?

I've been considering getting into it for a while now and I just want to understand it more. I'll be honest, in some ways I want to improve my vocabulary so I can speak eloquently during a debate, but considering the time at I'm at right now it would really help.

I'm first and foremost an ex-muslim who only left the religion around a year and half ago so I'm still adjusting to the world around me and leaving everything behind. But I feel like I left when I haven't fully read the Quran or Hadith or looked into any Islamic philosophers and that's why I'm still adjusting. I want to understand more, sorry I don't know how to get my way across but I don't want to a doubtful, lazy, existential crisis inflicted person forever. And being exposed to so many different philosophers on reddit also make me feel overwhelmed.

I want to read into different philosophers and the general and popular ones as well finding ones that are less known and just broadening my horizon. That way when I create content in the future, I actually know what I'm talking about.

Thank you for listening to my desperate attempt at a TED Talk in the form of a rant
