I converted this past February because I received "glad tidings" in a dream. When I woke up I was feeling very bewildered and I couldn't speak.....All I could manage was "Spiritual confusion" to a Muslim friend. They said to go Islamtoday.com. I did and randomly clicked on discover Islam where my dream was described.
"Revelation without an intermediary happens in two ways:
1. A good dream: `A’ishah relates: “It began as a good dream during sleep. He would not have a dream except that it would come as clear as day.”
This was to prepare Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) to receive revelation while awake. The whole Qur’ân was revealed while the Prophet (peace be upon him) was awake.
The story of Abraham (peace be upon him) when he was commanded to sacrifice his son demonstrates how a dream can be revelation that must be acted upon.
Allah says:
So We gave him glad tidings of a forbearing boy. And when he was old enough to walk with him, he said: “My son, I have seen in a dream that I am sacrificing you. So look, what do you think?” He said: “O my father, do what you are commanded. By Allah’s will, you shall find me to be among those who are patient.” Then, when they had both submitted themselves and he had laid him prone on his forehead, We called out to him: “O Abraham, you have fulfilled the dream.” Thus do We reward the righteous. That was indeed a manifest trial. And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice. And We left for him a goodly remembrance for later generations. Peace be upon Abraham! Thus indeed do We reward the righteous. Verily, he was one of Our believing servants.
If that dream had not been revelation that had to be obeyed, Abraham (peace be upon him) would never have gone forward to sacrifice his son, but in fact he almost did so. He was only stopped because Allah commanded him to stop and ordered him to sacrifice something else instead.
The good dream is not only for the Prophets. It remains for the believers, even though it is not revelation. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Nothing remains of prophecy except for glad tidings.” When he was asked what these glad tidings were, he said: “Dreams.” "

No. But, I do like how the women cover up themselves. I don't see any guys trying to get with them on the street because they sure do know better. Other than that, no. I don't want to be a muslim. The Quran supports the bible and says that the scriptures in the bible are true and trustworthy. So, the bible says that Jesus is the way to salvation. I'm sticking with my Jesus, thanks.

No because unlike the Roman Catholic church who evolved beyond the need to slaughter everyone to force their beliefs upon the world, Muslims appear to be just starting. They are on a global crusade to conquer the globe for their Al'lah (moon god) and Mohamed. They build mosques, not schools. You question their religion and they kill you.
No thanks.
Not interested.
No way.
Never.

Nope, proud to be an atheist and a satanist. But thank you for your concern, if I chance my mind, no offense, I'll turn to the local mosque as I have in the past to learn about the religion.

Why would I want to be a Muslim when I already belong to Christ's True Church?

No. To me it is an immature religion with no possibility of progression. But it is the right religion for many peoples of the world.
