In Crisis

I will introduce myself as “kate”.
I have been in a very bad spiritual crisis for the past 2 years.
I have recently been thinking of Islam. I feel so unsure about religion as it is, but Islam seems to be more apealing. I have done some searching on it and it sounds much more appealing to me. To be honest I feel that there are to many contradictions made in the bible as well as in the church. I "saw" the way some posters treated a member a few weeks ago so I decided to disguise myself as I am not sure of anything.

The way it appeals to me is it is more structured and not so "disguised" in mysteries. I honestly dont believe in the trinity! I was told by my priest to read John and come back; and so I did and went back and still didn’t see his point and I was pushed away and gave up on.
It seems religion and God has been on my mind for about the last 15 years. It feels more like a struggle to have a religion than a blessing.
I am often told to pray; well I do and I still remain confused.
I do belive in God 100% but am confused about the rest.
Any info from any catholic converts will be greatly appreciated.

welcoem to TTI :)

I'm a born muslim, but I'm sure your request will be granted ... we have plenty of brothers & sisters here who are converts.

Islam is about answering the questions in ones mind that we will not rest until we find the answer to. It is about knowing why we are here and where did we come from and where are we going. It is the only belief where monotheism is still pure and straightforward, the way Allah (glorified He may be) wants it to be.

Keep asking !

Welcome to itt Kate,
If u looking for the truth, the truth will prevail insyaAllah.
If u ask about God, in AlQur'an Allah said "if My slaves asking about Me, I'm near to them" ( sorry I cant remember the chapter).
I suggest if u have something better in mind dont delay I pray insyaAllah the crisis in your mind will be over soon.

Wassalaam

My dear

Here is an article talking about islam in brief named: WHAT IS ISLAM ?



What is Islam?[/COLOR]

ABOUT THE WORDS "ISLAM" AND "MUSLIM"

The name of this religion is Islam, the root of which is S-L-M, which means peace. The word "Salam," derived from the same
root, may also mean greeting one another with peace. One of the
beautiful names of God is that He is Peace. But Islam means
more than that: it means submission to the One God, and it means living in peace with the Creator -- peace within one's self, peace with other people, and peace with the environment.

Thus, Islam is a total system of living. A Muslim is supposed to live in peace and harmony with all these segments. It follows that
a Muslim is any person, anywhere in the world, whose obedience
, allegiance, and loyalty are to God, the Lord of the Universe.


IS "MUSLIM" THE SAME AS ARAB?
The followers of Islam are called Muslims. Muslims are not to be
confused with Arabs.

Muslims may be Arabs, Turks, Persians, Indians, Pakistanis,
Malaysians, Indonesians, Europeans, Africans, Americans, Chinese, or other nationalities.


An Arab could be a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew or an atheist. Any
person who adopts the Arabic language is called an Arab.

The language of the Qur'an (the Holy Book of Islam) is Arabic. Muslims all over the world try to learn or improve their Arabic,
so that they may be able to read the Qur'an and understand its meaning. They pray in the language of the Qur'an, Arabic. Islamic
supplications to God could be (and are) delivered in any language.

There are one billion Muslims in the world; there are about 200
million Arabs. Among those two hundred million Arabs, approximately ten percent are not Muslims. Thus Arab Muslims
constitute only about twenty percent of the Muslim population of the world.

ALLAH THE ONE AND THE ONLY GOD

"Allah" was the Arabic word for God long before the birth of Muhammad, peace be upon him.

Muslims believe that Allah is the name of the One and Only God. He is the Creator of all human beings. He is the God for the
Christians, the Jews, the Muslims, the Buddhists, the Hindus, the atheists, and all others. Muslims worship God, whose name is Allah. They put their trust in Him and they seek His help and His guidance.

MUHAMMAD

Muhammad was chosen by God to deliver His Message of Peace, namely Islam. He was born in 570 C.E. (Common Era) in Makkah, Arabia. He was entrusted with the Message of Islam when he was at the age of forty years. The revelation that he received is called the Qur'an, while the message is called Islam.


Muhammad is the very last Prophet of God to mankind. He is the final Messenger of God. His message was and is still to the Christians, the Jews and the rest of mankind. He was sent to those religious people to inform them about the true mission of Jesus, Moses, Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham.


Muhammad is considered to be the summation and the culmination of all the prophets and messengers that came before
him. He purified the previous messages from adulteration and completed the Message of God for all humanity. He was entrusted with the power of explaining, interpreting and living the teaching of the Qur'an.

ISLAM AND NON-MUSLIMS

Muslims are required to respect all those who are faithful and God
conscious people, namely those who received messages. Christians and Jews are called People of the Book. Muslims are asked to call upon the People of the Book for common terms, namely, to worship One God, and to work together for the solutions of the many problems in the society.


Christians and Jews lived peacefully with Muslims throughout centuries in the Middle East and other Asian and African
countries. The second Caliph, Umar, chose not to pray in the church in Jerusalem, so as not to give later Muslims an excuse to take it over. Christians entrusted the Muslims, and as such the key of the Church in Jerusalem is still in the hands of the Muslims.

When Jews fled from Spain during the Inquisition, they were welcomedby the Muslims. They settled in the heart of the Islamic
Caliphate.
They enjoyed positions of power and authority. Throughout the Muslim world, churches, synagogues and missionary schools
were built within the Muslim neighborhoods.

These places were protected by Muslims during bad times and good, and have continued to receive this protection during the
contemporary crises in the Middle East .
