Islam Had All the Answers to All of My Questions
Why
there are three Gods Not one ?
Why
can’t we read the bible?
Why
we only acknowledge only Jesus but not the other prophets?
Why
did Jesus have to die for humanity when humanity committed worse sins?
By
reading bible, it will confuse me even more. After sometime, I realized why
this were the case. The bible contradicts itself. Bible is written by human by
their own feeling after having been through certain experiences. And bible is
NOT God’s word.
My
priest been accused for pedophilia. Instead of bringing him to justice, Maltese
Bishop had sent him to Canada. He was caught once again for pedophilia. I didn’t
want to believe in the religion which didn’t condemn this things.
I
studied Buddhism which didn’t made sense as a religion to me. Buddha was a
prince who gave all his money to the poor and was made a God for that.
I
also looked at Hinduism. A religion with over 200 Gods. It was too confusing!
Then
I looked into different forms of Christianity, but it was all pretty much
covering the same ground I had learned about as a child.
Back
then, I used to work for a confectionery chain and I would often come across a Maltese
lady. A regular – who happened to be a Muslim. One day, I plucked up the courage
to speak to her. As soon as she left the shop, I stopped her and asked if she
could help shed some light on this religion.
I
told her I just wanted to find out a bit more, the basics and what it consists
of, and that I had no intention of becoming Muslim myself. She smiled and gave
me her mobile number and told me to come to the mosque in Paola that Thursday, as
there was a women’s meeting.
And that’s when my journey to Islam had begun. I
attended the meeting and met a group of lovely ladies. All Maltese and all
reverts. I spent almost a year questioning
everything.
Why
do women have to wear the veil?
Why
are men allowed to have four wives?
Why
are we not allowed to eat pork?
Who
is Muhammad? Why are Muslims so strict?
What
do Muslims believe in, Allah or Muhammad?
And
sure enough, I had all my answers – not from 73 books, but from one book – The Qu’ran.
Everything
I needed to know, I could find in this one book. They follow the life of
prophet Muhammad. It’s easy, there’s no mystery, no complications.
You
do as God tells you and you will be rewarded. If not, you will be punished. No
matter if you’re rich, poor, an imam or anything else.
In
Islam everyone is equal. What really differentiate the human level on God view
or how close he / she is to God is Taqwa.
I
fell in love with Islam and I decided to become a Muslim.
