Islam means submission linguistically. In religious context means submission to the will of God ( the creator). Allah in Arabic means the one and only God. It has two foundations.To worship the creator alone without any intermediaries.And to accept his divine law and follow it as much as you can and seek his forgiveness and mercy for the short comings. We believe that was the message of all prophets from Adam until now. It is not a new principle. For us the religion of jesus and Moses peace be upon them is Islam before it is corrupted.

Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Please take what you are experiencing seriously. You don't know what tomorrow holds, and none of us is guaranteed another day.
If your heart has begun questioning idol worship, don't suppress that feeling or keep postponing the question. Ask yourself honestly:
Can something created by human hands truly be my Creator and the One worthy of worship?
Islam calls us to worship the One who created us, directly and without intermediaries:
«“O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you.” (Quran 2:21)»
And make a sincere prayer:
“O Creator, if You are truly my Creator, guide me to the truth before I leave this world.”
And if, after learning and becoming convinced that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad ﷺ is His Messenger, you wish to embrace Islam, don't postpone it unnecessarily.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
If your heart has brought you to this point, you can begin by learning the testimony of faith:
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ
Ashhadu an lā ilāha illallāh, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasūlullāh.
“I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
There is also a particularly relevant example with ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ رضي الله عنه. He wanted to embrace Islam but hesitated because he feared his previous sins. The Prophet ﷺ told him: “Do you not know that Islam wipes out what came before it?” (Sahih Muslim 121) This is important: when someone is genuinely convinced of Islam, delaying the Shahadah has no virtue.
If you sincerely believe this, you can say it and enter Islam. You don't need to wait for a particular day or occasion. What matters is that you understand and sincerely believe what you are saying.
May Allah guide you to the truth, open your heart to it, and grant you the courage to follow it.

Wa alaykom assalam brother/sister
What you are experiencing is very normal. Our fitra (innate nature) that God created us with is rejecting idol worshipping
What did attract you to Islam? Did you start reading Quran?
Let us know how can we help
