Why Islam? "From a Muslim convert to all seekers of truth." By Laurence B. Brown, MD
Let's talk frankly. Almost never do non-Muslims study Islam until they have first exhausted the religions of their exposure. Only after they have grown dissatisfied with the religions familiar to them, meaning Judaism, Christianity and all the fashionable "-isms"—Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism (and, as my young daughter once added, "tourism")—do they consider Islam.

Perhaps other religions do not answer the big questions of life, such as "Who made us?" and "Why are we here?" Perhaps other religions do not reconcile the injustices of life with a fair and just Creator. Perhaps we find hypocrisy in the clergy, untenable tenets of faith in the canon, or corruption in the scripture. Whatever the reason, we perceive shortcomings in the religions of our exposure, and look elsewhere. And the ultimate "elsewhere" is Islam.

Now, Muslims would not like to hear me say that Islam is the "ultimate elsewhere." But it is. Despite the fact that Muslims comprise one-fourth to one-fifth of the world's population, non-Muslim media smears Islam with such horrible slanders that few non-Muslims view the religion in a positive light. Hence, it is normally the last religion seekers investigate.

Another problem is that by the time non-Muslims examine Islam, other religions have typically heightened their skepticism: If every "God-given" scripture we have ever seen is corrupt, how can the Islamic scripture be different? If charlatans have manipulated religions to suit their desires, how can we imagine the same not to have happened with Islam?

The answer can be given in a few lines, but takes books to explain. The short answer is this: There is a God. He is fair and just, and He wants us to achieve the reward of paradise. However, God has placed us in this worldly life as a test, to weed out the worthy from the unworthy. And we will be lost if left to our own devices. Why? Because we don't know what He wants from us. We can't navigate the twists and turns of this life without His guidance, and hence, He has given us guidance in the form of revelation.

Sure, previous religions have been corrupted, and that is why we have a chain of revelation. Ask yourself: why would God send another revelation if the preceding scriptures were still pure? Only if preceding scriptures were corrupted would God need to send another revelation, to keep mankind on the straight path of His design.

So we should expect preceding scriptures to be corrupted, and we should expect the final revelation to be pure and unadulterated. If impure, it too is due to be replaced, for we cannot imagine a loving God leaving us astray. What we can imagine is God giving us a scripture, and men corrupting it; God giving us another scripture, and men corrupting it again ... and again, and again. Until God sends a final revelation He promises to preserve until the end of time.

Muslims consider this final revelation to be the Holy Quran. You consider it ... worth looking into. So let us return to the title of this article: Why Islam? Why should we believe that Islam is the religion of truth, the religion that possesses the pure and final revelation?

"Oh, just trust me."

Now, how many times have you heard that line? A famous comedian used to joke that people of different cities cuss one another out in different ways. In Chicago, they cuss a person out this way, in Los Angeles they cuss a person out that way, but in New York they just say, "Trust me."

So don't trust me—trust our Creator. Read the Quran, read books and study good websites. But whatever you do, get started, take it seriously, and pray for our Creator to guide you.

Your life may not depend on it, but your soul most definitely does.

I am Christian, yet I know almost everything about Islam than a usual American Christian. I am from the Philippines & here, we respect Muslims more than in the West. I hope Christians, Jews & Muslims can live in peace together.

@CntrBrdr There is no difference between you and one who claims Airbus A380s, ipads make themselves?

Look at one single living cell, which is a million times more complex than a A380! And believing it could be the result of random chance is worse than believing A380 could just pop out of nothing!!

[neglectedMushrooms]

@CntrBrdr you claim to have logic right? please explain how various facts about the Big Bang Theory and embryology were stated in the Quran 1500 years ago ye they were only recently proven...

[wildwindgirl27]

@CntrBrdr you can read the qran

you'll find that many scientific truths that we recently discovered were saying in the holy qran 1432 years ago

[BintSkander]

@CntrBrdr then you are an atheist.

You have to learn a way to seek for who created yuh.

Your organs, and everything. Common sense there is a GOD!

We never said to choose Islam, In this video it is an Intro. To show you that Islam is peaceful.

So dont go wrong.

Understand video first before you even comment. I'm sorry but GOD does exist, you will regret saying this in the afterlife. Do your shit WISE! 

[MrGun22ner]
