I was born into a Christian family, and that’s where my spiritual journey began.
I started reading the Bible and asking questions, and went to the priest for answers. But he simply told me, “You just have to have faith.”
So, I moved on from Christianity, and began exploring Eastern religions and philosophies, particularly Buddhism.
I spent a long time meditating in Buddhist temples and speaking with Buddhist monks.
Meditation did give me a sense of peace and clarity. However, it didn’t answer my deeper questions about the nature of existence.
I found a lot of truth in these religions, but I could never accept any of them as the truth.
I felt confused, I fell to the floor and prayed, “Oh, please God, I am so confused, please guide me to the truth.”
This is when I discovered Islam.
The striking difference is that Islam makes a strict distinction between the Creator and the creation.
In Islam, we worship the Creator. Simple. However, in every other religion there is some form of worship involving creation.
Finally, everything I had learned and found to be true, fitted together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
My journey had come to an end, and I chose Islam.
What about you? Have you started your journey?
