need help

[SisterJennifer]

One thing needs to be clear:

This is not a website that needs a Christian and Muslim representive. Twister is here to learn about Islam, if he (or she :oops: forgive me Twister) was wishing to inquire about Christianity it would only stand to reason that She/He would have chosen to visit a Christian based site rather than this one.

----------------------------

To Twister: There are many differences, and it would be impossible to place them all here. I feel sometime as though I could write a novel!

Some of the major differences are these:

As I mentioned in another thread, I am Catholic educated and for about 2 years before I reverted I took a comprehesive Bible study. Sadly, I and many others, were leaving with more questions than answers. Since coming to Islam, I have found that there is NO QUESTION that does not have an answer, and a very reasonable one at that. Islam In my humble opinion has so much to do with common sense. It is incredible.

Another thing that I have never experienced is the true spirit of brother and sisterhood in religion. It does not matter old or young, rich or poor, for Islam hold no social classes. This is a big difference from the church atmosphere I left where the very people I shook hands with during mass will not even give you the time of day in public. I just moved (along with my husband and children of course) to another state to be with the nearest Muslim community. During the time I spent traveling to attend events sponsored by the Mosque I never once paid for a meal or a hotel. The Muslims would not hear of it! the whole family stayed entirely on hospitality! I never met people so unselfish.

I realize this is becomming quite lengthy, but lastly I would like to say that I never befor been so happy. And it is not just me, but my husband and our 3 children (13, 11, and 10 years) as well. After my move I visited my mother after about two months of not seeing her. I was amazed when she sent me a letter saying I never looked so happy and so peaceful in my life. And this is just how I feel. I feel like I have found my home, and I feel at peace.

Well I said I fell like I could write a novel, and I will not do that here.

Twister, I cannot even tell you how happy and how excited I am about you! I believe you are sincere, and believe me, you are very much in our prayers! May you find just what you are looking for! God be with you Twsiter!
