I am a Muslim who has read the three holy books and now I want to convert to Judaism because that is where I believe the truth is, in the Torah...... I cant explain it, it just feels right.
What do you think, any advise?

Many people have the same feeling -- that they are Jews living in a gentile body.
Find a rabbi to work with and start learning. You have nothing to lose. You'll love what they have to teach you, and there's no obligation to convert.
What do I think? I think you're starting down an exciting path. The path winds in many different directions and you'll find all of them new and exciting.

Very sensible. Judaism is a beautiful religion that respects scholarship and good moral judgment. Why not just look up the nearest synagogue in the phone book and call and make an appointment to talk to the Rabbi? They normally have conversion classes, which tend to be filled with people who are married to or planning to be married to a Jew. But they will welcome you if you are sincere.
My husband was Jewish, and we went and talked to Rabbi Rick about my converting. But Steve decided that I liked Jews better than he did, and we did not pursue it any further. Imagine how strange it would be if I had become observant, maybe even Kosher, while he, who was born Jewish, couldn't care less?

Which religion is correct? No faith that I recognize of could "condone" it, however that does not rather topic, if you are certain approximately what you consider in. As a Christian I could say that I could under no circumstances consider in whatever else, however that is due to the fact I've consistently studied the opposite religions and recognize why I consider what I do, now not due to the fact of what I've been taught. On a entire, Christianity does now not consider you're doing the correct factor by way of going to one more faith, however that we can not pass judgement on one more individual for whether or not or now not that individual is "going to heaven", with the intention to talk. I feel that Catholicism, which a few, however now not all, equate to being facet of Christianity (I'm now not delivering my opinion right here), believes that whenever you move to one more faith, you might have dedicated a mortal sin. I would be improper approximately that final facet, as it's been decades. I do recognize that for 1260 years, the Catholic church placed many persons to loss of life for difficult their ideals. That isn't the best way the Catholic church is now despite the fact that.

I am not Jewish but a Christian. And we Christians know the Jews had the true faith first so I am pleased you will join them. I understand that some of the Koran came from the Jewish scriptures. we Christians take all the Jewish Scriptures also.
But as some have suggested. Go to a rabbi who is open to new converts from different nationalities and faiths. I believe most of them are.
Good luck and God speed to you.
It sounds like I am anit-Christian but I am not. It's just that God has different ways to lead each person to Himself. You are a seeker for God so he will lead the way for you.

Shalom,
I am Jewish, and if you want to convert, you must find a Rabbi to supervise it. You must be persistant if this is the path you want to take. Get some books on Judaism and read them. One such book is "the complete book of Judaism" I think it is by Tilushkin

converting to judasim is very hard work. If you wanna be orthodox, you have to study lots for four years, and take a very hard test, get circumcision, and go to a very baptist-like pool. To become a reformed jew, you will study a little, have judges say if you're qualified to be a jew, get circimcision, and also that pool.
But I know someone who has converted. My aunt claire converted after meeting my uncle in israel. She wanted to become jewish also because she felt like judaism is where he belonged. I think people want this religion because we care for our people and treat them with respect (not saying your religion doesnt)

Read the Torah and talk to a Rabbi at a Temple.
