SEE with your soul
Finding this Website has been a step to searching for answers about Islam. None of us has all the knowledge of God/Allah.
What is good is that you are finding ways to understand a way of life in Islam, which is Submission to God.
Moses tried to convince the people of how important God is.....and they did not take him seriously.
What Islam has done is what all of the prophets have been told from the beginning about Submission to God....nothing has changed.
The way the monks, sisters, etc. pray in the convents and monestaries are similar to the discipline of prayer. They do not do exactly as the muslims pray.....but they live a life in submission to God. The Sisters cover their heads, and I resent that they have gotten away from this order from God to have one's head covered in reverence to Him....which Islam still sees as a command from God.
I've been sent a lot of links to conversion stories and have not visited any of them..[/
Give yourself some time to read what you are interested in. For me, while coming to Islam, the 'revert' stories were of those whom had similar experiences as myself, in searching for more of God. I was amazed at how much they were thinking the same things I thought!!! So my 'curiosity' about Islam came to a reality for me.
I can understand what you say about "truth" hear and there. In the Christian and Jewish faith, this word is not used much to convince one to convert to Christianity or to Jeudisam....it is a faith in God...which brings one to conversion...when it is real.
Do not give up on anything. The more questions you have, the more you will learn...just as myself did and still do.
