"Things are made clear through their opposites"........proverb
"Nothing makes Truth stand out more clearly than Falsehood!" I
embraced Islam 6 months after I arrived in the US, thanks to my
encounter with Christianity!
I was born in India and grew up among people who worshipped
many gods and goddesses- the Hindus. At every street and corner
in India, you will find temples housing idols of wood, stone,
ivory, even gold and silver.
I do not come from a Hindu family. My parents do not believe in
God. They are atheists. They taught me there was no such thing as
God. As a child, I believed whatever my parents told me. I looked
up to them and believed they knew everything. I thought they
were perfect. As I grew older however, I realized that my parents
did not know everything. They were certainly not perfect. And
they made mistakes.
At some point, several questions about life began to arise in my
mind. I'm sure these questions arise in the minds of most people
at some time or other:
What is the meaning and purpose of life?
