8.

Your rewards will manifold, compounded daily until the Day of Judgement.

9. By performing pilgrimage to Makkah, you will transcend yourself from being nationalistic, sectarian, or denominational into being universal. You will be part and an essential constituent of the rainbow of Islam. You will be also part of the brotherhood of Islam with those who already submitted themselves to the Creator.

Reflections:

The benefits mentioned above and many more cannot be purchased with money anywhere in the world. No one is to sell them to you or to advertise them on TV. You have to take the initiative yourself and try to acquire them by accepting Islam first and then by practicing its teachings. You should be honest with yourself, sincere, and truthful to the Creator. You should try wholeheartedly to practice what you believe, regardless of whether someone else is good or not While seeking happiness is a must, it should not be measured with other people's standards or with material gains. Happiness is from its potential to its kinetic forms. People around you should feel your happiness as well as benefit from you.

Are you ready to accept this challenge today? Remember,

tomorrow may not come, and it will be too late.

What made you decide to do this? Did your spouse influence you? Are you willing to pray five times a day to Allah? If you answer these questions for yourself and are happy with the answer then yes, convert to Islam.

er... less likely to be the bunt of a terrorist attack? (although- that's probably not true)

How about converting to Atheism and thinking for yourself for a while, rather than following what others say you should believe. Do you really think that Islam is right, and all the other religions are wrong? (and I could say this about any religion)

Go ahead but just remember:

Jesus said: " I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me".-- Jesus

"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Diddo from what Gary said, 2nd posting above... my 2 cents:

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

... I like the everlasting life part of that statement.

But we are each responsible for our own choices... good luck with yours.

Jesus is the Way, the truth and the Life. No man gets to the Father except thru the Son.

Muslims have cooler hats than the Jews, and Christians don't get hats at all. Obviously you should become a Muslim.
