Wow! Thank you
Thank you so much everyone for such a warm welcome, your encouragement is priceless and I'm so grateful... I just read all your messages.
I don't understand why that person was so discriminative, but I'm sure they have their personal reasons, and I hope they will become more positive.
I was originally studying the bible and have always been interested in finding God, and when the Qu'ran was introduced to me I was a little sceptical at first. But one of the first things which really made sense to me was that it all started with Abraham, and for me the Qu'ran was like the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle... I knew the torah, and the gospel, but couldn't quite see the bigger picture... then I started reading the Qu'ran! It all added up (and I never could quite accept Jesus as being God).
Also what convinced me was the large amount of science in the Qu'ran, some things which weren't proven to be true until much later than when the book came, for example, how a foetus is formed in the womb.
I hope you don't mind me sharing my thoughts, I could go on for ages!
This knowledge can make you feel quite lonely when you can't share it with anyone, especially people you've grown up with, and even your own parents who raised you and were your role models. So thank you again for all your support, it really does mean a lot.
Some one made a point about the wording I used, "the life I rejected", you're right, it wasn't very diplomatically put, sorry.
I've just returned from spending my first Ramadan in Pakistan, and it was an amazing experience.
I'm glad I found this website
Khuda hafiz,
