First, narrowing down what country your character is from would help a lot. Think about why you want your character to have that specific religious/cultural background and how it would serve your story/world/plot. The resources everyone else has suggested should help. I'd even say this should be your first priority.
I second the suggestion to read -- I would recommend reading books by Muslim authors, from the country you end up going with, that feature Muslim characters.
(This might be a slightly controversial suggestion for this comm, since it's essentially "touch grass", but I hope you won't be offended -- it really really helps to talk to Muslim people in the real world. Might not be accessible or actionable for you, but if you can, then go for it.)
