As'slamu Alykum all;

I am not looking for "because" answer!  What if your parents were not Mulims?!

PS.  No Philosophy either!

Asalaamu Alaikum ;-)

No "because" answers and no philosophy? What does that leave? ;-)

Okay how about:

Why are you a Muslim


Allah [swt] guided me to Islam and without this guidance I know not where I would be.


As an aside Br Rodwan there was a similar question asked in the Madrasa recently. Check it out at some point ;-)

Hmm.  How can you answer a "why" question without using "because"???

Jazakum Allahu Khiran all;

The one answer I really liked (thanks for the link brother Se7en) was from MuslimahCanadia.  I know, my question was a bit on the "Serious" side, but I wanted to know what kind of "young" Muslims attend these messege boards that are being set up all around the web.

Do you know where I am going with this..?!!!  ;)

  I'm about to be 22. Does that count as 'young' ;-D ? Well, I 'became' a Muslim because my mom converted when I was about 5. I AM a Muslim because I am completely convinced of its truth. My soul longs for it. When I stray from it I feel a suffocating weight on my heart, and when I return to it, I feel a coolness and peace I can't describe. I feel free when I know I am doing what is commanded of me. I know that I am one of the fortunate chosen by Allah, and I wouldn't turn my back on a gift from Him. I don't know if this is what you were asking, but it's how I feel about it.
Assalamu Allaikum

Wa Alykum As'slam ya gr160.  I love you for the sake of Allah.  Allahu Akbar.  This is the kind of ansswer I was looking for. It was said: "He who does not havith, can not givith".  In otherwords, anyone who did not experience the sweetness of Iman, will never know what it means to be a Muslim.  Ibn Tymiah once said: "In this life (Dunya), there is a Jannah.  Any one who did not enter it, will not enter the one that Allah promised for him."

I am delighted to have known you.  May Allah protect you, and keeps you on the straight path, the path to Jannah..!!! Ameen..!!   :)
