Answer 1

Concept of God in Islam

"Say He is Allah(God) one and only;
Allah, the absolute, The Eternal;
He begetteth not,nor is He begotten;
And there is Nothing like him "

God Almighty sent many messangers on the earth like Adam, Noha, Moses, Jesus, Ibraheem, Solemn, Muhammad (Peace be upon all of them).
And there were many revelation Of God on the earth.

On every nation God sent Prophets. And all these prophets told to mankind one and the same thing that
"worship none but one God".

It was the rule fron very begining that whenever a new prophet came in a nation, all previous revelations were canceled and one has to follow the new prophet(to be on right).All these Prophets were for the time period(Till coming of next Prophet)

So Prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) was the last and final messanger of God. And there will be no prophet after him. He was for whole the world(As said in Holy Quran).And
And Holy Quran is the last message of God.

So one has to follow Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) and the Holy Quran to be on right. The follower of Muhammad(PBUH) are said to be Muslim.

This was an introduction of Islam.

I will suggest you one thing that study islam and if you satisfied(which you will be by God's grace) then accept it and become a muslim. And don't believe on the point of views of those who knew nothing about Islam. (Islam is most peaceful religion).

If you need an easy way to understand Islam, I am giving you some links where you will find Video lectures by which you can easily understand islam.

Answer 2

Perhaps the best way to do this is to take a historical approach to it. When you think about it Islam makes more sense than Judaism and Christianity since it is the third try at "getting it right" so to speak.

To understand islam you must see it from how it evolved from its earliest form, Judaism and then christianity.

Christianity belives in everything that Judaism believes in plus it accepts jesus as a prophet and the son of god. Likewise Islam takes it a step further by saying that all the Jewish and Christian beliefs are true, but Jesus was simply a great prophet and not God. Then islam continues with Muhammed and several other prohpets and finaly the Quran which contains more rules.

I'm an atheist by the way, as i believe that all three are equally wrong. But Islam is certainly better than Christianity since it doesn't think a human being is God.

Answer 3

I'm not Muslim (Jewish actually) but I feel I must tell you not to take the decision of conversion lightly. No matter what the religion is, do the research and make sure that you're convinced that it is the right path for you. If you're 100% convinced that Islam will bring you inner peace, by all means convert. But make sure you are well informed before you do so.

Answer 5

OK ... when you become Muslim ... you can never turn back ... you have to be covered from head to toe .. unless you want those Muslim perverts to ..... harm you ........ it will not be all about you ... all about your husband ... you can't talk with men like you do now ... I'm just stating the facts ... your gonna be treated like a dog ... and not the way P.E.T.A. treats dogs ... the way Muslims treat dogs which is horrendous ... think about it ... and do a LOT of research ....

Answer 6

I strongly suggest you read The book Why I Left Jihad, by Walid Shoebat, you may have second thoughts about converting to Islam.

Answer 7

to get a background of it you have to visit an official islamic center or contact the saudi arabian embassy they can help guide you to the proper muslims , not just muslims by name who may confuse those who are new islam, and can help avoid islam bashers /losers who spend most of their time trying to give people a false impression about islam.
this site can help a lot with explaining islam to non muslims :

Answer 8

That's fine if it is what you really want. But you need to have some new garments made that will hide your entire body except for your eyes.

Answer 9

If you become a Muslim...."IT WILL BE ALL ABOUR YOUR HUSBAND", not all about you anymore....You may as well get rid of those nice clothes, shoes and all your friends too, because you will wear religious appropriate clothes and you won't fit in.

Namaste to you and good luck.
