Why Convert?

[ronniv93]

Umm_Zachariah,


I appreciate your post which was very clear and direct.


Your post focuses on the concept that belief in Islam will get me on the path to believing in the Unity of God. You also said that I will then KNOW WHO I worship. So, is it belief in the Unity of God that makes one a Muslim and distinguishes that person from all others?


Honestly, I * do * feel that I know God. He speaks to me, answers my prayers and questions, comforts me when I need it and corrects me when I need that, too. : - )


I’ll consider your post more thoroughly, though.


Another quick question, if you don’t mind, just out of curiosity. I think that Islam and Christianity both believe that people have a spirit. That is the part of you which is eternal. (<i>Correct me if I’m wrong somewhere</i>). I know we both believe that there will be a physical resurrection, one day. But, man has a spirit, right?


<b>And here’s my question:</b> Where do we get our thoughts, feelings, emotions and opinions from? In Islam, are all of your thoughts/memories/etc. part of what happens in your physical brain? Or is it part of your spirit? I hope my question makes some sense to you. If it’s confusing, I’ll try to rephrase my question a little better.
