The Quran Wasn't What I Expected!A British Sister's Journey to Islam

I will shortly give you an introduction of why I became Muslim
and how it just came about really.
About a year ago, my fiancée came back to his religion. When we
first met he was Muslim, but he was not a practicing Muslim. And
this time last year he actually came back to his religion and found
his faith again. He started to read the Quran and pray, and
everything like that.
He started to read to me stories about the prophets, peace be
upon them, and also gave me a web site where I could read the
Quran in English, and next to it was the Arabic translation.
The Quran actually wasn’t what I expected. The way it was
written was really beautiful, and it seems to me that every
question you had it was answered there. No matter what
question it was or anything, there was an answer in the Quran at
some point in it.
So the more I started to read about it, the more I wanted to learn
about Islam, its principles and what it was like to be a Muslim in
general, so I started to get books out and read them, and I also
started to look at web sites on the Internet about Muslim converts
and just anything that I could find really.
So it carried on for a few months, me researching and finding
everything that I could, and in November of last year I actually
said my Shahadah. I didn’t say it with anybody present, I said it to
myself, and I did all the purifications and everything. So since
then, it’s just been amazing. I don’t actually live in a Muslim
community, so it’s a bit difficult for me to interact with Muslims
personally.
I got a book out a few months ago, it was called The Bible, The
Quran and Science, and that book is so great. It’s by an author
called Maurice Baucaille, and he basically tells you all the
contradictions of what the Bible says, between the Old and the
New Testament, and how it has changed through the years. And
then he also goes on to say that the Quran is in modern
knowledge it can’t be explained, and therefore it must be the
word of God, because things that happened hundreds and
hundreds of years ago cannot be explained today, how they
knew it sort of thing, and it’s just a great book, you should check
it out it’s really good.
So that’s in a nutshell, it took a few months for me to get there,
but I did.
So brothers and sisters, you've got a new one to add to the
family.
