I read ur heart felt testimony on ur conversion from islam to christianity...
As u might expect, i do disagree with u on some points...
1st of all, Islam never claimed that the crusifiction ( as a historical event) never took place...
Rather God explains that He " summoned" jesus to the heavnes before he was crsuified and that someone else was crusified in his place that the jews were lead to believe was jesus by a Decree from God..
This in turn explains the increadible status Islam bestows on Christ , the status of the ultimate and final saviour, the leader of the final battle between Good and evil before armegeddon..
As u might know as an ex muslim, Islam stipulates that it will be christ who will return to lead the final fight against the infidels and non believers, and that he ( christ) will lead ALL the believers ( which naturally includes jews christians and muslims) in their final fight against evil ....
This status was not bestowed on Mohammad or any other prophet of God for a very clear reason...
That reason is that as we speak, Christ has yet to DIED AND PERSICH like the human that Muslims believe he is...
in the light of that, he will come back 2 lead the fight and then die like all other men before him ...
I think u can agree with me that niether christianity nor juadism have been able 2 be as accomedating of figurs from other religions as islam is in this particular instance....
Furthermore, i would like 2 add that assuming that there is an inherint disparity between chrisanity and/or juadism on the one hand, and islam on the other is a huge fallacy...
The quran in terms that can not get any clearer explains that islam is but a continuation of what came before it, and that the message of Mohammad is nothing but a continuation on the messages of those who came before him...
The quran also clearly explains that should a muslim in any way try 2 negate the " older books and the older prophets" then he has indeed stepped outside the religion and is no more a muslim...
In very real ways, The torah and the bible are the " old testiment" of the quran....
the fact that Jews as well as muslims believe that Yehwah/ALLAH, is but 1 God, is a very strong indication ( in my mind) that somwhere along the lines, christians seem to have confused What jesus was....
I understand to a certain extent ( as much as i could logically understand) the christian idea of the trinity.
Having said that, i strongly believe that the trinity exists in ALL the 3 religions...
Mohammad was given revelation through a HOLLY spirit as the quran explains ( the angel Gabriel)...
Mohammad was the son of God, in the same way jesus was the son of God,in the same way I am the son of God and u r the son of God...in my humble openion that is...
and therfore there is a son , a father, and a holly spirit in islam as well...
its just not Son in the biological sense christians try 2 make jesus to be....
any how,
If u feel u have found peace away from islam , i doubt this is related to Islam ( as a religion ) in any way...
However, if thats what makes u happy ....
after all, its not my place ( or any one else's) 2 judge u for what u believe...
As God says in the quran, We all ultimatelly return to our creator, and it will be Him who ultimatelly judges all of us for what we believed on earth and how we spent our time on it...
