I'm a Muslim from India, I know many Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, etc... Somewhere I read you embraced Islam recently, is that? Can I hear your story what made you to believe in Islam, or how you found it as a truth? I'm eager to hear it. I have seen some MyLot members itself came to the folds of Islam, I get tears of happiness in my eyes when I hear such stories. Have a nice time.

AsSalamu Alaikum Harley009, My husband loves bikes too. Yes I have been Muslim about 6 or 7 years now. For a few years I study the history of religion beginning with Judaism, than Christianity, than Islam. I could not believe in Judaism, because they did not believe in Jesus(pbuh). My family is Christian, and I knew the many un truths that I had been taught. My husband, whom I met in high school at age 15 studied a little about Islam with some Muslim friends of his. He had a Quran that was given to him, so I began to read it. About four years later I decided to visit the Masjid for the first time, take an Arabic class, learn to make Salah, and two years later I took my Shahada. I thought that just saying ok Im Muslim was enough, but as I began to study, I learned that I needed to take Shahada, so I did. Alhumdulilah. I knew Islam was the truth by reading Quran. It confirmed things all ready written in the bible, and did not disregard them, and made clear those things that were not clear. So these mylot members. Where they Muslim all ready, or after talking to others on mylot about Islam?

I knew about some people embraced Islam from MyLot,it was not because of MyLot discussion I guess hehe. But I can name some of them, it may help you as well: unpinoy,juliocstryfe,michele609, hubby of misty99, Bee1955 and you. I have seen two more people here but I don't remember their names. I saw an ex-seminarian showing his sorrow about Christian beliefs:meekoh I appreciate your interest in studies and congratulate you in finding the truth yourself, May Allah guide us all to the right path. Peace

I know that it was a radical religion and rather a book of codes which are advised to adopt in day to day life.And I know the five pillars on which Islam is built.Iman,Salah,Zakah ,Sawm and Hajj.

What is radical about Islam ? There are radical people in every religion, but that is not the religion itself, those are ignorant people.

Dear aishaladon, I am muslim myself and i am sitting next to one right now, lol. I know pretty much everything about it but the most important things is you need to follow it or else your are just Muslim by name, if u know what i mean I don't have any questions about it, I don't really like questioning religion very much because I just keep faith in God. This is one of the great attributes of the Muslim
