The strangest question I have ever been asked is: why are you Muslim? I find that question strange because I have never thought of a reason. My ‘Muslimness’ comes naturally to me; no other alternative has ever crossed my mind. I am Muslim because the only logical explanation of all the wonder in the universe and in ourselves is that a Creator exists. Every breath I take is a mercy from that Creator. To deny God, I would be denying myself and my life. Indeed, I see God’s miracles everywhere, I cannot but love, worship and obey Him. Through God’s commands, revealed in the Qur’an and the examples of the Prophet Muhammad, I know exactly how to live my life. I am free to choose between peace and happiness by becoming a part of God’s greater design, and the nightmare of rejecting my Creator’s guidance. I am Muslim because I choose to be logical and far sighted. I see the logic of Islam and am far sighted enough to plan for the eternity that God has offered.
