Roshani 0 Posted February 26, 2011 Assalam-o-Alaykum, I would like to share with you all why and how I converted to Islam. In the beginning I was born in family of unbelievers. Even if they practiced some christians holidays, they never believed in God. At school we had religion lessons provided by catholic priests. I believed there is One God. and I grew up as catholic. I used to believed in Trinity, but i couldn't understand why I should pray do some saints. And in fact many of other christians don't do it. I couldn't understand why I should ask angels for help. I just liked to pray to God only, like Jesus taught us. Than I moved from my land to the west, where I saw for the first time muslim women. I was wondering how they can be dress like this, when outside is so warm. I had just t-shirt and some skirt on me. And those muslima were fully covered. I realized at that time about existance of Islam, so I started to be interested in it. I wanted to know more and more about this religion and people who who believed. For me the key that supposed to be unbreakable was believe what Bible says. And in the Bible is written, that whoever deny Jesus as son of God is antychrist. So i used to believed in it and deny Islam. I was strong catholic. But Allah opened my eyes via many muslims who showed me the truth, but also that i started to see that Bible indeed is corrupted. I remember that one chapter is totaly fully copied in other part of Bible. there are many errors, later corrected. All is in footsteps. All this crashed my catholic faith. I knew there is God, but I didn't know who HE is. I left my research for awhile and after some time, my catholic faith came back but than i found another error in Bible: Camel toe and how catholic prists try to explain or rather proove that is false in fact. I do not want to go in details, but this crashed my faith totally. At the same time some muslim send me Quran and i started to read. This translation of Quran changed my life for ever. If translation can be so powerfull, than how more wonderfull is original Holy Quran. After reading 1/3 of Quran I felt a spiritual fire inside me. I couldn't continue reading. So I put it away for awhile. later I read another 1/3 Quran and to my eyes came teas. I felt guilty. My eyes went open and I started to see all what I did wrong. What I believed wrong. So again i put away for a while Quran. Later when I finished it, I wasn't able to say NO to Allah. I believe that this happened because I read it with my heart. I know that some people, they will read it like a normal book, they will feel nothing at all. Why? Becasue they are not able to open heart for what they read. They are sceptic. I was believer and I am still believer, but now I am not the right way. Straight way to Allah and this way is called Islam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serene Reverie 0 Posted April 19, 2011 Salamu Alaykum, Very beautiful story. My background was quite similar. Albeit not Catholicism, but rather growing up a Christian I was taught the same things about Christ. So I can relate. Again, very beautiful :sl: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BurningLight 0 Posted December 2, 2011 Assalam-o-Alaykum, . All this crashed my catholic faith. I knew there is God, but I didn't know who HE is. I left my research for awhile and after some time, my catholic faith came back but than i found another error in Bible: Camel toe and how catholic prists try to explain or rather proove that is false in fact. I do not want to go in details, but this crashed my faith totally. Dear sister your testimony touched my heart, because I was born and raised Catholic. In fact, I went to Catholic school. It never made sense to me to pray to Mary or saints or for the dead. It didn't make sense to confess our sins to a Priest when Jesus said call no man father on earth but one is your father in heaven. It didn't make sense that missing mass was a mortal sin. Catholicism was a religion of man control and tradition that made god's laws to no effect. I have now left the Catholic tradition; however, it hasn't led me to Islam, but ever closer to Jesus. One thing you shared that I didn't understand is what is a camel toe error in the Bible? and the other errors you found? Peace to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the sad clown 3 Posted December 2, 2011 BurningLight, you might want to try having that discussion in a different subforum. This one is more for testimonies of reverts and not debate or discussion of possible errors in the Bible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunnymaboy 10 Posted March 17, 2012 Masha Allah! Welcome, sister! The Bible does say that line about the son of God but in that line, by son of God it is meant "Follower of God". for further details, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S_A9ERJWN0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
