What makes you follow Islam over other faiths ? What is it about Islam that just makes sense that other faiths are lacking or why would you think other faiths have been corrupted ?
Re: Islam over other faiths
Majority follow the religion they are born in. Most of people never get opportunity / try to go through what other faiths are all about.
Re: Islam over other faiths
Don't agree with Jesus being divine concept. John the Baptist was born before Jesus and also had a miraculous birth. Adam did not have any biological parents. So, why isn't divinity attributed to them? Even the concept of someone dying for the sins of makind is an oppressive and unjust thought. Human nature desires justice, that's why we have laws and penalities for violating them. As much as all of us wpuld love a free ride to heaven, it's not fair that it should come at the expense of someone else nor is it fair that every soul is born with an original sin..that it did not commit.
Not attracted to religions which are based upon myths where there are multiple dieties and each of those dieties are flawed in character.
Islam is unifying in that it's been the same message from the very first prophet to the last. There's a consistency in that principle. Yes, Muslims pick and choose what they want to follow from the Quran and hadith. But I like that there's only one book (Quran) and that one book remains consistent on matters lioe shirk amd godhead and dietary restrictions amd alcohol etc etc. Whereas in Vhristianity you have the Old Testament which is similat to the teachings of Islam and Judausm but then the new testament is very very different and the followers reject the former and follow the latter. This goes back to the uniofying point that I made earlier.
I have not read the tarjama nor the translation for the entire Quran but when I start ifc with Fatiha and Baqarah and when I read the meaning of those words it just makes sense. It's hard to explain that feeling and to some it may not be enough, but it's a feeling.
Looking at the events that are taking place and the symbolism in the media...particularly the dajjalic symbolism...just reinforces many of the things that the Prophet SAWS warned us about in regards to the end times.

there are few way to deal with this issue.
1-Judaism is wrong because they did not listen to Jesus(as).
2-Christian(wrong on its own criteria )
are wrong because they based on all their teaching on St paul's writing which is against odds with what jesus said. (pick a KJV red-letter bible) firs read what jesus(as) said and then read how st paul put twist on it.
3-Hinduism (wrong on its own *criteria *)
UPANISHAD:
Upanishads are one of the sacred Scriptures of the Hindus.
[TABLE="width: 97%"]
Chandogya Upanishad Chapter 6 Section 2 verse 1
**
“Ekam Evadvitiyam”
“He is one only without a second.”
**
(The Principal Upanishad by S. Radhakrishnan pg. 447 & 448)
(Sacred Books of the East Volume 1, the Upanishads Part I Page 93)
**“Nacasya kascij janita na cadhipah”
“Of Him there are neither parents nor Lord.”**
(The Principal Upanishad by S. Radhakrishnan pg. 745)
(and in Sacred books of the East volume 15, the Upanishads Part II Page 263)
**“Na tasya pratima asti”
“There is no likeness of Him”.**
(The Principal Upanishad by S. Radhakrishnan pg 736 & 737 )
(and in Sacred books of the East Volume 15, the Upanishads part II, Page no. 253)
**“na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam”.
“His form cannot be seen, no one sees Him with the eye”.**
(The Principal Upanishad by S. Radhakrishnan pg. 737)
(And in Sacred books of the East Volume 15, the Upanishad part II, Page no. 253)
So if you were following this you again would be following either islam or judisim.
So current day hinduism is not what this message is.
=================================================
or the simple way,
1-if through quran you know its God who is speaking to you.
2-Then he is one who made and sustain you.
3-He is the one who did not charge you any thing for all his favour upon you.
So its reasonable to believe that he would not lie to us. So we can follow.

Re: Islam over other faiths
Islam is based totally on faith, we believe in the UNSEEN Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala)! who has clearly stated that there shall be NO COMPULSION in matters of Faith!
plus I like what the Sufi says:
****Kun faya qoon farmayo jaddan
Assan koll tuhaday hassay!****
translation:
When Allah created the Universe at that moment all the Arwah (plural of Rooh) were present!

This is the correct answer.
