To muslim converts?

Question

Some where in the Quran it says: Closest to muslim, in believe, are those that call themselves christians.....And once they hear the message of the Quran they cry coz they know that this,Quran, is from God.

Something like that.

Did you cry when you came to realise this? What was you experience like?

Azra: thank you for "sticking up" for me. lol

Answer 1

Oh no way! I would never want to be a muslim. They are scary people. Too much anger and besides I wouldn't want to hide my beauty under a veil.

Answer 2

It was the Prophet Mohammed himself who attempted to negate the positive image of the Jew that had been prevalent earlier. According to historian Bernard Lewis, the Prophet Mohammed's original plan had been to induce the Jews to adopt Islam; when Mohammed began his rule at Medina in AD 622 he counted few supporters, so he adopted several Jewish practices-including daily prayer facing toward Jerusalem and the fast of Yom Kippur-in the hope of wooing the Jews. But the Jewish community rejected the Prophet Mohammed's religion, preferring to adhere to its own beliefs, whereupon Mohammed subsequently substituted Mecca for Jerusalem, and dropped many of the Jewish practices.

Jews faced the danger of incurring the wrath of a Muslim, in which case the Muslim could charge, however falsely, that the Jew had cursed Islam, an accusation against which the Jew could not defend himself. Islamic religious law decreed that, although murder of one Muslim by another Muslim was punishable by death, a Muslim who murdered a non-Muslim was given not the death penalty, but only the obligation to pay "blood money" to the family of the slain infidel. Even this punishment was unlikely, however, because the law held the testimony of a Jew or a Christian invalid against a Muslim, and the penalty could only be exacted under improbable conditions-when two Muslims were willing to testify against a brother Muslim for the sake of an infidel.

Answer 3

Yes my dear, I am a Muslim and I have many western Christian friends, really when I tell them about Quaran, sometimes they meditate, sometimes they feel the perfection, sometimes they feel its the completion of the path created by Jesus and Bible.

And sometimes they cry, not only from Quaran, but sometimes from the stories known about Muhammad and his friends.

The problem we have is that most followers of Islam are bad followers, or just taking it as a classification in their ID cards.

There is a well known story about a great Islamic scientist, he is western but I cant determine from which country he really comes from, he said that when he studied Islam he found it as the religion he should follow, and so he became a Muslim, and he thought of visiting Muslim countries to meet his brothers in so called "religion-hood" if you can get the word.

After he ended his trip he said : " I thank god that he guided me to Islam before I meet Muslims " - because if he ever met them, he wouldn't like to be a Muslim.

I am available for any further information, maybe you like to take the experience for yourself.

Answer 4

I don't think I would convert to Islam. I could not enjoy that case of Dom Perignon champagne, vintage 88, that I am trying to order. Couldn't find it so I would have to settle for one bottle of 82 vintage.

Anyway, I suppose that there is a historical connection between Muslims and Christians, but that doesn't make it an alliance. The Middle East should be left alone and ruled by the people who live there, not by us.

Answer 6

translation isn't accurate. what it says in that verse is that tears filled their eyes from how much they knew of the truth. and yes most christians who before convert to Islam they usually tear or cry.

Answer 7

to Suzi Cute,
Islam isn't that scary as u think we are. what you are scared from could have the truth behind it. what they show u in the media isn't really everything about us, i like when they use a different set of a camera (poor color captures) when recording something about the muslim world. we are people who are generous, love our women and children and want to live in peace.

Answer 8

Yes, I did. Compared to the bible, it's full of love. Women have rights, where in the bible they don't. Islam sees the birth of awoman as a blessing and children must obey and respect her first of all, seeing as how Islam says heaven is under the mother's feet for she "gave birth to you in weakness upon weakness and preferred you over herself". The bible says the very birth of a woman is a loss and that her father can sell her into slavery after raping her.

Answer 9

a_phantoms_rose is not right, there is not something like that. and in Islam, whatever a person does to you, you can NEVER kill him/her/any person. and if you do, you'll be punished as you killed all the mankind.

Answer 10

I'm a born Muslim but I don't understand what are you asking.
Please make it simple.

Answer 11

I don't see the appeal in converting to a religion that is so intollerant, I think I would cry when I realized the weight of my decision. God has NEVER written a book, people have...even if they wrote in under the influence of God.
