Hello everyone! My name is Tarek, and I'm originally from Lebanon and I came to the states "Texas" 3 years ago, and I'm 23 years old. I'm a new believer in Christ, like literally new! Yesterday I felt Jesus was calling me after a 4 months of struggle and lots of questions in my mind. The details of my story are a lot and it started in two points. Around 8 months ago, I met a pastor where I work and he invited me to the church, that sunday in the church I felt peace and love, and I felt very comfortable that my idea about a church was totally different to what I saw. The other point was when my gf father was talking to me after a church service about Jesus 4 months ago. I listened and opened my heart to him out of respect. he started talking about why Jesus was born without a father. It made sense for me, because as muslims believe it is for no reason other than being a miracle! but that's just a way to say I don\t know the reason. I started thinking about it for weeks and more and more questions started to pup out and more things started making sense for me. I came to the conclusion that god of the quran is not a god of love, and you will never find this word in The quran. I used to be a very devote muslim, I used to recall for prayer in muslim churches and study Quran. My dream one day was to convert a christian to islam so I can reserve a place in heaven. But I ended up feeling I'm in heaven in Jesus love. Yesterday I had to conversations that finally led to me believing, one with a christian and the other with a Muslim, but they were not the only Reasons! I don't know how my parents reaction will be, they are overseas, but I will pray for it.

My story is very detailed and long. I've done many researches to refute christian believes and disprove the bible. And I ended up with many reasons and signs to follow Jesus and Leave Islam. I will write my full story some day soon! but for know I just wanted to introduce my self to you guys and that you all pray for me.

Nice to meet you, and congratulations. : )

Moslems do have a name for God that we would recognise; Allah the Merciful and the Compassionate. That is our God.
