Curious about Islam, have some questions from a Christian perspective
Assalamu alaikum, everyone. For context, I’m an Orthodox Christian and have been most of my life. I’ve been drawn to Islam for a couple of years, mostly just learning about it, but haven’t really dived deep yet. From the outside, Muslims seem more dedicated in their faith compared to Christians, though I know that’s just my impression. I realize there are cultural Muslims and extremists, just like in Christianity. Honestly, I’m not sure if I truly want to convert or if this is just curiosity. I plan to study more, but I wanted to ask here too. My biggest hurdle is that I believe Jesus is God and that He was crucified-that’s the main thing holding me back. So, I’m basically wondering: - What made you embrace Islam, whether you were born into it, came from Christianity, or another faith? - Why does Islam feel so compelling to you? - What are the key things I should know about Islam? Sorry if this feels rushed, I’m short on time. Feel free to ask me any questions too. JazakAllah khair for any insights.
