Exploring Islam from a Hindu Perspective: Seeking Understanding
As-salamu alaykum! I come from a Hindu background and have recently started exploring different faiths, including Islam. I've heard a lot about it and want to dive deeper. I'd appreciate your insights on a few things: 1. What do you think is a compelling reason for someone to embrace Islam? 2. What personally draws you to your faith as a Muslim? I'd also love to discuss further: 1. Aside from obvious differences like monotheism vs. polytheism, the role of scripture, and the Abrahamic tradition, what other distinctions do you see between Islam and Hinduism? 2. Why didn't Hinduism resonate with you, if that's the case? On a side note, I've just begun reading the Quran-still early stages. Are there any guidelines I should keep in mind while reading it? JazakAllah khair for your guidance!
