What a Converted Muslim thinks?
Peace will come through submission to God. How could anybody argue with that? Praying five times a day will help you see the good around you. How could anybody argue with that? When I first was converting, I simply took every verse of the Qur’an and tried to find a flaw. Although many flaws were apparent superficially, I kept my patience until I really understood the verse. At the end of the Book, I found no way in which the verses of the Qur’an could be used for things that the general conscious would find deplorable. I began praying. It is easy to become pessimistic in the world that we live in today; over half of our earth is in poverty, there are twenty some wars being waged right now in different places, on our very own streets here in America there are people homeless and others who have only known the war of the streets. After first knowing what is God (from reading the Qur’an), and then establishing the prayer in my life, I went from seeing the bad in things, guarding myself from people, to finding the good, and searching for solutions to those problems that we find so difficult to solve.
Why is Islam different though than anything else that may help us find the good in things? Islam is persistent, and never fails by logical analysis. Most of what people hear about Islam on the radio is not true or taken out of context. Whenever I have a question about Islam, I know there is an answer. I ask a lot of questions, and I am a very skeptical person; the way I know somebody isn’t cheating me is that their facts check out --- well, nobody has ever told me there “wasn’t an answer” to a question that I asked about Islam. Find out for yourself, read the Qur’an, not the radio.
