WHY ISLAM ?


PURPOSE
Praying 5x a day is really focused. It gives you a purpose in your life. The Qur’an is like a guide to help you : when you read it, it makes you feel better

Tasnim Salih (Kimberley Mc Crindle)

EMBRACE RESPONSIBILITY
The emphasis in Islam on responsibility (for choosing right over wrong) made a lot of sense to me – it didn’t absolve people from responsibility for their actions - . But when they embrace that responsibility, it gives them a sense of peace

Dr. Ingrid Matson

MOST ELEVATING
The essence of Islam is acceptance of the Will of God and its cornerstone is prayer.
It preaches universal fraternity, love and benevolence, and requires purity of mind, action, speech and cleanliness. It is the simplest and most elevating form of religion known to man

Muhammad Alexander Russell Webb

TRUTH IN EVERY WORD
When I read the Qur’an, I was humbled. It was unlike any other book I have ever read. There is a ring of truth in every word

Tabitha Dencer

NO – FREE RIDE
There’s no free ride in Islam. Everyone is responsible for his actions. Islam has the answer to racism, feminism, abortion, high murder rates, and drug selling.
It shows human being how to live their lives right

Shaheed (Damian Williams)

LIVING IN HARMONY
Real Islam is about believing in the ONE TRUE GOD, worshipping God and living in harmony with humanity

THE ALMIGHTY KNOWS BEST
In Islam prayers r used to say thanks to Almighty God for all His blessings since He knows what is necessary for our welfare and grants us what we need without our asking it. I realized that this is really what I believed
