I am not here to convince you about  the merits of Islam. I shared the message of Islam based on the questions that were asked. Islam is enough for me, that is all that matters to me, [b]It stands on its own merits[/b], it is Perfect~ I am not here to convince you of anything. Whatever you choose for your life is your decision, as long as you're happy with it, what do you have to worry about? [/quote]

Do you understand what it stands on its own merits means?  You should at least be able to describe said merits, and you can't.

You are the one saying Islam is perfect, but you can't seem to back that up. [b] Why should I believe you[/b] if you have nothing to back yourself up with?  You are the one coming on the internet, saying something is perfect, and are not quite able to explain what that means.  Why shouldn't we challenge you on that?  I'm happy that Islam is enough for you, but you don't seem to know why or how.  [/quote]

You don't have to believe me, I have repeated that many many times lol woow! I can not make you believe me, only Allah can! Our duty as Muslims is just to convey the message, we can't convince you of anything that he heart rejects. Belief begins in the heart, if its not there, nobody can help you. Yes Islam is perfect for me, it will never be perfect in your eyes because you have not tasted the sweetness of faith. And a lot of other people I guess agree with me since Islam is the fastest growing religion with many converts joining its ranks every year. Islam is the only religion whose sources are authentically preserved and thus remains immaculately free of all human tampering and interpolations.To me, Islam appears like a perfect work of architecture. All its parts are harmoniously conceived to complement and support each other; nothing is superfluous and nothing lacking; and the result is a structure of absolute balance and solid composure! You say I dont understand why it is enough for me lol. I actually do, since you asked, here you go ! Though I was born into a muslim family, I chose Islam.I study Islam academically as well, I read the Quran, the ahadith, and questioned certain beliefs, found answers, also other religions don't seem to make sense to me. There are scientific miracles in the Quran that an illiterate bedouin could not have known 1400 years ago! Islam provides for us a living example of such a balanced role model in Prophet Muhammad saw, whose life, unlike those of the great heroes and prophets of other religions, is an open book easily accessible for anyone.The Qur’an is anti-classical in its approach to knowledge, and stresses experiential knowledge, a fact which combines authentic science with authentic spirituality. The Qur’an provides answers to questions that haunt every intelligent person, questions related to life after death, an area which is almost totally mysterious in other religions.Islamic teachings about the essential identity of human beings and its stress on human brotherhood can break the barriers separating humans from one another. This can save humanity from the dire consequences of nationalism and racism which tend to break up humanity artificially by creating and sustaining perpetual conflicts. Islam dispenses with all intermediaries between man and God and allows all humans to freely contact God, thus eliminating hierarchies and other sources of religious exploitation that has characterized religious history throughout the ages. It offers me inner-peace, a direct relationship between me and Allah Almighty. and makes me a better Human being. Everything that I am is thanks to what Islam taught me. So you want to know why it's perfect for me? don't trust me - trust our Creator. If and only If YOU ARE interested, Read the Quran with an open heart. Dr Jeffery Lang ( ex Atheist convert to Islam) in his book struggling to surrender says: " You cannot simply read the Quran, not if you take it seriously. You either have surrendered to it already or you fight it. It attacks tenaciously, directly, personally; it debates, critisizes, shames and challenges. From the outset it draws the line of battle, and I was on the other side." Thus he was in an interesting battle. " I was at a severe disadvantage, for it became clear that the Author knew me better than i knew myself." So, may advice is, read a lot! Read good ideas, read great ideas. Even read stupid ideas. As the Qur'an encourages us to listen to what is said and take the best of it The first verse of the Quran that was revealed wasn't "Pray" but "Read, Read in the name of your Lord who created the" So beautiful, Allah in his infinite wisdom knows how important knowledge is to man! . Ma Salama (Peace) ~[/quote]
