Salama....

Judge and Read her own words as following:

I grew up as a Muslim in a Muslim country, and my religion was very important to me. After my first degree, I came to the U.S. to go to graduate school. Beginning
graduate students took many of the same courses together their first year. I befriended an American graduate student from my classes, and we got along well. I had a
birthday early in the semester, and my friend found out about it and gave me a small New Testament as a present. At first, I was taken a back. I didn't pick up the book
for a week. I was too afraid to touch it. But as I thought about it, I considered myself to be a strong enough Muslim to read the book.

I started with the Gospel of Mark. My friend had recommended it because it was the shortest one. As I read further, many things struck me about the life of Jesus, but
the biggest thing that influenced me were the verses Jesus spoke in Matthew 23:25-26. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the
outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will
be clean."

What surprised me was that these ideas had been taught to me by my parents while I was growing up. They had a strong dislike for hypocrisy in religion, for people
whose religion was only external and for show, but inside they were selfish and proud. They taught me that real Islam was in the heart and not just a set of rituals on the
outside. When I saw that Jesus said the same thing as my parents had taught me, I recognized his authority over my life and that what he said was true. About a month
later, I prayed for salvation through Jesus.

My family was furious with me when I told them I had become a Christian, and their displeasure with me has been the most painful thing I have endured in my new
faith. I had had a very close relationship with my family, especially my mother, and there have been days when I thought about leaving my Christian faith just to restore
my relationship with her. But I have no doubts about Jesus and am thankful that I had the opportunity to learn the truth about him from the Bible.

asalamu alaykum al

i think that you misunderstand islam, because the unbelievers like your friend who gave you the bible was trying to lead you away from the right path, like all the unbelievers try to do and you have fell in the trape of satan. in the quran it does talk about Jesus and as jesus all the prophets did have a inspiring life and they all did believe in Alllah the most high and merciull, so i advice you to read the quran carrfully and may Allah help you to the right path.

I think she did a wonderful thing. It's a great thing when someone can decide for themselves to be what they sense in their heart instead of being something just because their parents are that religion. Their are too many people out their who are not happy with what they believe but do not seek out the truth just because they are afraid of what everyone else will think. What kind of like is that?
