i want to convert to islam!?

Question

should i do it or not?
what r the pros and cons?

Answer 1

sure you should... god has guided you to the right path! welcome...

Answer 2

I'm sure u'll do the right choice and that God will guide u to the right path. I just want to give u a small advice: Please don't believe the misconceptions made about Islam. You can search on the "you tube" site by this word "Fadel Soliman". You'll get some nice answers about some misonceptions like Hijab. U know when u judge a religion you should start by its beliefs not what people misunderstand about it :) Also the site for Dr. Fadel Soliman is: www.bridges-foundation.com.
Best of luck

Answer 3

the pros are endless...first once u take ur shahaada or oath ur slate is wiped clean and Allah forgives ALL ur sins...u start fresh like an infant. the good deeds are blessed double even triple if Allah feels u deserve it...u don't have to rush in a hurry up and cover ur hair and body although at least wear Conservative clothing not ur chest hanging out and mini shorts and skirts but no Allah doesn't wish for Islam to be a hardship on u...the only con i find with Islam is the trolls! they love to pick on us because they can't understand us and they think they do, but tell them they are wrong and all of a sudden we are ALL infidels and terrorist...but then u get to be like me...u brush them off and bless them anyways ohhh they hate that! anti Islamic can't stand to see a Muslim be nice to them...it throws them off so bad...that is y i do it!
check this out maybe this will help u to decide

btw...wouldn't u want to trust something that has been around and UNCHANGED since the begining of Islam...
i am talking about the Quraan...the Arabic one anyways...there are many translation cause not everyone can read Arabic. but ALL the translations say: TRANSLATIONS TO THE MEANING of the Quraan...or something in that form...this means that these are not Quraans but just translations...it is like in Islam we believe in ONE GOD...so in truth the is only ONE QURAAN...people can't say that about the Bible can they?

have u done any reading about Islam? email me n let me know i can send u some sites...

Answer 4

There are some Muslims who have great joy from their religion. The Muslim woman who talked about her slate being wiped clean makes me believe that some people do reach a relationship with God through the Muslim faith because I know as a Christian that overwhelming experience of forgiveness and wholeness is God's greatest gift.

However, I urge you to look at Wikipedia and the Bojinka plot. I also urge you to read Cleric Abu Bakar Bashir interview with Farish A. Noor. Also look at the al Qaeda training manual, along with the Koran. I did a word search on the words "forgiveness" and "forgive" and "love" in both the Koran and the New Testament. The results were illuminating.

I have posed a question as to what percentage of Muslim's believe Sharia should be imposed with force. No one has answered my question. Why?


I pray that God will guide you to a closer relationship with him.

Answer 5

The choice is yours, but remember, you must be true to it, or else it will only be a nominative action.

If you are born and brought up in a westerised society, I would advise against it because of the following reasons:
1> Polygamy
2> Triple Talaq
3> Intolerance
4> Lack of freedom of expression
5> Unfair treatment of women
6> No right to vote, drive and get education (in some countries)
These exist in most Islamic Societies.

Again final decision is yours.

Answer 6

Aw! :-)

My advice: try to do as much as research as you can. I would definitely tell you to convert, but i want you to feel as if this religion is best for you and you know that this religion is the right way of life. I would love to anwer any of your questions on Islam, so please contact me anytime you have a question and I will promise to answer it 100%

Answer 7

Don't do it.

God provided for salvation thru Jesus, His Son. Islam doesn't recognize the fact that God has a Son.

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.

Answer 8

"In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate".

Towards which religion COMMON SENSE leads us?

COMMON SENSE # 1: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said like other true prophets of Allah Abraham, Moses & Jesus (pbut) etc to believe in only ONE true God & not in IDOLS or in many gODS.

COMMON SENSE # 2: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said believe in Jesus (pbuh) and his revealed book (original one which is lost) and Mosses (pbuh) and his revealed book (original one which is lost) and all revealed books and prophets otherwise u can not be a Muslim. If he is not the true prophet (MAAZ ALLAH) then why he said that believe in them otherwise u will be sent to HELL. Read “EMAN-E-MUFASSIL“ & ” EMAN-E-MUJAMEL “ 2 testify.

COMMON SENSE # 3: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never said that he is (MAAZ ALLAH)” God “but strictly said that there is only one ALLAH (God) and no one is like him. If he is not the true prophet (MAAZ ALLAH) then why he said that? He called himself as ALLAH’s last prophet & not bragged about himself (MAAZ ALLAH) as God, as so many fake ppl did in history. Allah (S.W.T.) meaning: (the Exalted, Most Glorious) tells mankind that Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) is no more than a Messenger (Quran: 3/144)

COMMON SENSE # 4: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said like other true prophets before him like Abraham, Moses & Jesus (pbut) about the JUDGEMENT DAY.

COMMON SENSE #5: If u see Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) in pictures made by Non-Muslims, he has same kind of beard like Muhammad (pbuh) had & Muslims have, And also Mother Marry dress in pictures made by Non-Muslims is exactly 100% same as ISLAM says.

COMMON SENSE # 6:Non-Muslims say that Muhammad (peace be upon him) plagiarize the Holy Quran from the Holy Bible but this is NOT possible because Muhammad (pbuh) was not educated, then how he could do such a thing?

COMMON SENSE # 7: Another reason that Muhammad (peace be upon him) can’t plagiarize the Holy Quran from the Holy Bible is that “The Holy Bible at the time of Muhammad (pbuh) was not translated in ARABIC language then how he could plagiarize from it”?

COMMON SENSE # 8:Non-Muslims claim that Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself wrote the Holy Quran, if so then why his name comes in the Holy Quran only 5 times & Prophet Adam (pbuh) name 25 times , Prophet Abraham (Pbuh) name 63 times, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) name 25 times, Prophet Moses (pbuh) name comes 136 times, , Prophet Noah (pbuh) name comes 43 times, Prophet Hud (pbuh) names comes 7 times, Prophet Salih (Pbuh) names comes 8 times, Prophet Yousuf (pbuh) name comes 26 times, Story of Prophet Younus (pbuh) comes in 6 Surrahs in the Holy Quran & names of some other prophets comes more than the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), If (Maaz Allah) Muhammad (pbuh) wrote the Holy Quran then why not he used his name more than any other prophet?

COMMON SENSE # 9:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to pray 5 times a day and conveyed the message of ALLAH that this an order from ALLAH, & in ISLAM u can’t pray without performing ablution. Why Muhammad (pbuh) used to pray? What for? For who?

COMMON SENSE # 10:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he himself performed “HAJJ” which is the toughest of the pillars of ISLAM, and said that it is FARZ (Imperative) for all Muslims who have the money to afford it. For who? What for?

COMMON SENSE # 11: Why Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) strictly ordered not to do "SAJDA" before any body but ALLAH. IF he is not MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he said so? Why not he said do "SAJDA" to me as well?

COMMON SENSE# 12:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to "FAST" for the whole month of "RAMADAN" for 29 to 30 days without a break & why he most of the time used to PRAY in TARAWEEH (long prayer) and other prayers after the FAST? for who? For what?

COMMON SENSE# 13:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to give ZAKAAT (Obligatory Charity, Money to poor) and said that this is God’s order and every one who can afford should give ZAKAAT. FITRAA is also a God’s order and it is also giving money to poor ppl. Why he used to do that himself and said that this is IMPERATIVE for all Muslims who ever can afford ZAKAAT & FITRAA. For what and for who?

COMMON SENSE# 14:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to give KHAIRAT,SADQA,AQIQA,HADYA,KAFFARA etc to poor ppl which is again giving to needy ppl to gain reward from ALLAH.

COMMON SENSE#15: Even Abraham (Pbuh), Moses (Pbuh) used to dress like Muslims, cover head, beard and thoroughly covered body.

COMMON SENSE#16: There is a Quranic verse named after mother of Jesus (Pbuh), the name of the verse is Surrah-e-Mayam.If prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) is MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why not he named the Quranic verse name after his mother? Allah says that he choose Mary above “the women of all nations”. Why not Muhammad (Pbuh)‘s mother if he MAAZ ALLAH wrote the Holy Quran himself. (3:42). AL-E-IMRAN (THE FAMILY OF 'IMRAN, THE HOUSE OF 'IMRAN) "Behold! the angel said: 'God has chosen you and purified you and has chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary! God gives you the good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the hereafter, and one of those brought near to God".

COMMON SENSE#17: If Muhammad (Pbuh) is not a TRUE prophet then why he never used alcohol and made it strictly prohibited, which is always use by humans for fake enjoyments. for whom? What for? Why?

COMMON SENSE#18: When Muhammad (Pbuh) went to MAKKAH to perform Hajj from MEDINA with all of his followers but with no arms when the ppl of MAKKAH were to HOSTILE against Muslims, for whom? What for? Why?

COMMON SENSE#19:The Prophet's wife `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, I asked, "Messenger of Allah, why do you exert yourself so much while all your sins have been forgiven?" To this he replied, "`A'ishah, should I not be a grateful servant of Allah?" (Muslim). If he maaz Allah not speaking the truth then for who he used to pray that long? what for?

COMMON SENSE#20: Muhammad (pbuh) was a posthumous & his mother died, when he was about six, then could he give unimaginable respect to parents?
(NOT EVEN UFF, TO PARENTS)
And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," (Interjection of anger, dislike, frustration) and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. – Holy Quran 17:23
A man once consulted the Prophet Muhammad about taking part in a military campaign. The Prophet asked the man if his mother was still living. When told that she was alive, the Prophet said: "(Then) stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet." (Al-Tirmidhi) & I can quote for days about parent rights in Islam, how did he know them? Since he hardly had the love of parents.

I COULD HAVE WRITE TONS OF TONS MORE COMMON SENSES BUT IF I DO THIS, THEN WHAT WILL BE LEFT FOR U TO THINK ABOUT?

(EXTEND ROPE 4 NON-MUSLIMS)
SAY (O Muhammad, peace be upon him) whoever is in error, the Most Gracious (Allah) will extend (the rope) to him, until, when they see that which they were promised, either the torment or the Hour, they will come to know who is worst in position, and who is weaker in forces.

(Holy Quran,Surah Maryam 19:75)


(WHO REFUSED TO BELIEVE)
Have you not heard of people in the past who refused to believe? They have already suffered through their unbelief; and a terrible punishment awaits them. When their apostles brought them clear arguments, they said: Will mortals be our guides?’ They denied the truth, and turned their backs. But God has no need of them; he has all he needs, and he alone should be praised.

-Qur'an, At-Taghabun, Surah 64:5-6

(ANTI-ISLAMIST RUN FROM HOLY QURAN)
"We have made things clear in this Qur'an so that they might pay heed, but it only makes them run away the more!" (Surat al-Isra: 41)

( LIARS )

“It is only those who believe not in the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allaah, who fabricate falsehood, and it is they who are liars

[Holy Quran, al-Nahl 16:105]

(NON-MUSLIMS IN DARKNESS)
All animals that roam the earth, and all birds that fly through the air, form communities like your own. 'We have left out nothing from our book.' All animals and all birds will be gathered before their Lord. 'Those men and women who deny our revelations, are deaf and dumb; they wander about in utter darkness.'

-Qur'an, Al-An'am, Surah 6:38-39


(ENTER PERFECTLY IN ISLAM & NO TO SATAN)
"O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islamic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy."
(al-Qur'an 2:208)


(REPENTANCE OF THOSE)
Allah accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will Allah turn in mercy: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.

-Qur'an, An-Nisa, Surah 4:17
