need help - twister - 07-09-2003
Dear all,
Without any introductions, this is my story, and really guys I feel that am in need of some help. So I'm hoping to find it right here with you.
Am belongs to one of Asian countries so forgive me if my English is not so perfect.
I born in a catholic family... and since long time ago am religious man. But until now am missing something. And I feel that this thing is very important. Well I don’t know what is it till now. However, my father used to change his religion from time to time ( it seems funny but its true) he kept on going from catholic to protestant then to born again then to church of Christ then I don’t know now what religion he is following. Also during these changes of my father's religions he was offering me( each time ) NEW BIBLE and each time he was telling me THIE IS THE TRUTH, well I did not believe him simply because I discovered that there is another religion called islam and this religion the people are not worshiping Jesus but they respect him and they respect his teaching as well. So I just woke up this morning totally different and willing to know more and more about this religion.
Well I don’t wanna talk so much because I just came to you guys to ask you something... I have learned that Islam is the religion of ONE GOD AND ONE BOOK. And am asking you right now IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY FOR ME TO BE A MUSLIM??? I don’t care what am doing , and I don’t know if you will accept me or not. but this is my desire right now.
Hope that I can get answers as soon as possible.

my advice is:
study all religions and decide which has the strongest case. i don't think you should rely on those desires, will or you "feel like it."
evidences is the keyword, evidences.
weigh those, act like a judge and come up with a credible conclusion.
though i don't know if a mod would erase this post. i've had "experience" on the other thread.
oh well, that's off-topic.
just be open-minded and be unbiased. your [b:72024252b6]eternity[/b:72024252b6] depends on this.

As Salam a`alaman itaba`alhoda
Dear twister
You are most welcome to ask and seek help. May Allah the Exalted allow us a chance to provide the correct answers for u. don't worry about your english, it was more than ok. We understood what u need to say.
![[Image: smile.gif]](http://www.islamsms.com/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
U r taking our opinion or permission so that u want to become a Muslim. Well We don't own to say no. Simply because anyone who is willing to reconcile with the Creator and come back home where he originally belongs Allah Welcomes him / her most. Allah is just waiting for His Creation to repent, return back to the correct path.
"And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam’s loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "Verily, we have been unaware of this."
" (Quran 7: 172)
And yes twister Islam calls for the worship of the only One True Deity Worthy to be Worshiped. To be a Muslim u simply have to believe that there is no God but Allah the only True God who was not begotten nor was he begotten. Look at this Chapter from the Quran:"
Sûrat Al-Ikhlâs or At-Tauhîd
(The Purity) CXII
In the Name of Allâh,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "He is Allâh, (the) One.[1]
2. "Allâh-us-Samad (السيد الذي يصمد إليه في الحاجات) [Allâh the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)].
3. "He begets not, nor was He begotten.[2]
4. "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."
This is full description of our Lord we must all worship.
So first u have to believe in heart that the Creator of the Worlds, skies and earth and everything is just one, One who does not consist of parts or associated with partners. Or is represented in a human form under any circumstances. He does not need partners Twister. He is the King of the Kings who does not sleep for a fraction of a second. He is the One who erected the skies and keeps them from falling on earth. He is the One Who sat mountains as supporters to earth from flying off. Who else can do all this?? A human being or Allah?
U also have to believe that Mohamed is the final Messenger from Allah to all mankind. See before Mohamed (PAPBUH) each Prophet or Messenger was sent to his nation only. But Allah decided to send Mohamed as the last Messneger to mankind so that we will not have an argument before Him for not believing. And now Sobhan Allah knowledge became easily accessible through the Internet. Therefore, we even have no arguement to say we didn't know. Praise be to Allah that u started questioning and wanting to find the truth.
Islam is the only religion in the eyes of Allah. Not one single Prophet or Messenger came to call for any other religion.
Look at these Ayas from Quran:
"Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya‘qûb (Jacob)? When he said unto his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We shall worship your Ilâh (God - Allâh), the Ilâh (God) of your fathers, Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Ismâ‘îl (Ishmael), Ishâq (Isaac), One Ilâh (God), and to Him we submit (in Islâm)." (Quran 2: 133) While look at this verse:" Then when ‘Îsâ (Jesus) came to know of their disbelief, he said: "Who will be my helpers in Allâh’s Cause?" Al-Hawâriyyûn (the disciples) said: "We are the helpers of Allâh; we believe in Allâh, and bear witness that we are Muslims (i.e. we submit to Allâh)." (Quran 3: 152).
I am not trying to confuse u I am just trying to put more facts for u. Islam unlike other religions is not called after a human being. Look at Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and others. Each of them is called after a human being. While Islam is not. It is the reigion of submission to Allah Twister.
So in brief if u r sincere and u desire to become a Muslim based on the above facts. U must believe in your heart and say it with your tongue. Ashhadu anna la ilaha ila Allah wa ann Mohamdan rasoolu Allah wa ann Eissa a`adu Allah wa rasooluh.
This translates as:
I bear witness that there is not Lord but Allah, Mohamed is His Messenger and Jesus is His servant and Messenger.
Twister if u have any more questions or need to discuss pls feel free to do so.
We are more than willing to help u, with Allah's support, settle any confusion.

thanks so much your reply,
well, thanks for your advice amai, but what am feeling right now in my heart is more than evidences to let me look into Islam religion first before studying any other religion. and when you say evidences. what you mean exactly ?? well, also to inform you all. am really open mind and am not here to argue or to disturb anyone of you.
as for you MUSLIMAH. am more than happy to know these great informations. which made me more interested , well the point now is. I dont have anything against Mohamed if he really came not to destroy but to confirm the message of the prophets before him, but until now i dont know much about him , and also i dont have problem to bear witness that there is only one lord because in my heart I believe that GOD is one. Am I correct ?? I will search through the internet about Mohamed will try to find out about him more ,
well I have many questions still but let me read first about Mohamed.
Thanks you all.
Twister.

Salamu 'alaikum Twister,
You are really taking the right path. May Allah lighten and guide your way!!
Thank you sister Muslimah and Jazaki Allah khayran for clarifying things to brother Twister.
We are all here beside you brother Twister, if you need any help please feel at ease to ask. We are here to help each other.
I would like to say something, is that Islam is open to everybody and ivites all human beings to be one nation where all people are equal in front of God. And one more thing is that all humankind are born Muslims but their parents who make them Christians, Jews or whatever. So for those who embrase Islam are in fact reverting to their original religion!
May Allah help you in your search for truth.
Peace,
your sister Ahlam
