Assalamualeykum brothers and sisters,

My path to Islam began some years ago, when one university professor asked us, in my studies of philosophy previous to christian theology, to read another religion's holy book and I chose, due to 9/11, the Qur'an. The more I delved inside it the more I said to myself 'This is the Truth from my Lord', I almost cried with happines when I read the CORRECT history of the previous prophets and the RATIONAL system of ethics and law and much more. I inmediatly gave up my decision to study catholic theology and centered in my studies of philosophy. I went to the Masjid and began praying and doing the rest of the rites and pillars, but there was at the time a lot of family pressure not to continue and I let them influence me and continued reading but figuring myself I was just investigating a foreign religion without compromise and this situation continued till last month I said to myself 'Enough is enough, the moment you'll present to your Lord what would you say Him? That your family does not allow you to believe in HIM?' So I have taken the step towards the faith and approached some muslims in the Masjid. The problem is those muslims were Shi'a and I have been reading, I think, the WRONG Risalah and Islamic beliefs books for almost a month. I started then to read Ibn Kathirs tafseer out of curiosity online and the more I read it the more I found again that rational Islam I loved so much since the beginning, so I want to say in fron you all 'Ashadu La Ilaha Ilallah wa Muhammadan Rasulallah' from Spain.

Mahasalama!
