Interviewer<\/strong>: Let me begin by a question I\u2019m sure you get asked a lot:<\/span><\/p>\n Why did you embrace Islam?<\/span><\/p>\n Isa:<\/strong> I do get asked this question a lot, and I can say that the most convincing reason for me was Islam\u2019s logical nature.<\/span><\/p>\n I had a lot of questions, and I found that Islam really quenched the thirst that I had. <\/span><\/p>\n I felt that everywhere I looked in the observational world that I could see everything had a perfect code of conduct, everything had a set of rules that it followed; the plants, the animals, and even evolution, everything had a really refined course that it was taking, except for humans.<\/span><\/p>\n Humans have this ability to really make their own choices. For me it was very subjective, in terms of moral questions, social questions, economic question and political questions, it is so subjective. When I look at the world I see that everything is one way and it couldn\u2019t have been another way, at least in the context that it was created.<\/span><\/p>\n So, for me my biggest question was: Is there also a set of rules and a course that I\u2019m supposed to be taking? It cannot be a subjective opinion, or is it something that is universal or for the common good.<\/span><\/p>\n Similarities Between Christianity and Islam<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n When I started looking into Islam, and I looked into a lot of religions. I grew up as a Christian, and I started to find a lot of similarities between Christianity and Islam in terms of their code of conduct; the moral code of conduct. I looked at a lot of other religions, and found out that really the major point in all religions is to be a good person.<\/span><\/p>\n So, my question at that point was OK; how do I become a good person?<\/span><\/p>\n If there\u2019s only One in the entire world that would know, it would have to be God. So, I asked God how could I achieve the pinnacle of my humanity?<\/span><\/p>\n When I started looking into Islam, I found that even though there were things that seemed a little contradictory to what I believed, or they gave me a little bit of a challenge because I had notions already that I had conceived myself, I thought OK, despite that, maybe I could be wrong, as everybody has a different opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n When I looked at it closely and analyzed it, I realized that we can take these arguments, and let\u2019s take them in a very objective rational way devoid of emotion, bring everybody\u2019s argumentz to the table. And Islam I can honestly say that I\u2019m completely convinced it will not lose.<\/span><\/p>\n Interviewer<\/strong>: Excellent, that\u2019s some very profound words. But let me ask you a question in closing:<\/span><\/p>\n Was there something that you read in particular that kind of really set out a clear path towards Islam? Was it the Quran, maybe Hadith, maybe some advice or someone you talked to? Because it\u2019s always good to know what really caused you to take that way, because a lot of times everybody does research, but a lot of times research is inconclusive until you read something that motivates you to really take that leap of faith; what was that in your case?<\/span><\/p>\n
