Why Convert?

[Muslimah]

Peace to u ronni, sorry if u got overwhelmed, but u raised many points people were responding.


I need to clarify one point though, actually two.


First the issue of soul and ego which is nafs. Usually non Arabic speakers has a problem understanding this:

ronni, about the different readings of Quran. The problem ronni is that u have incomplete info, and being in such state is not recommeneded. Seems like u go and get some arguments but not well explained in your mind and come back with them hoping to find they are true. Now whether or not u r really interested is not my issue here. The issue is to explain a raised point for anothers to benefit.


Sorry if I will have to explain very briefly, I can not leave this point unattended.


At the time of the Messenger (salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam), he belonged to the tribe of Quraish. The Arabic language was of course main language spoken. But it was spoken in 7 different dialects. Allah revealed Quran to Mohamed (SAW) through Arch angles Jebreel using those 7 different dialects in order to make it easy for everyone to recite and memorize. So the difference was in the pronunciation never in words. Again words were the same, only pronunciation differed. Just like the difference between US and British english.


Hope this point is clear and I was as brief as possible
