I converted to Islam for many reasons. One reason is that it has so much depth, it's quite unbelievable. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the only Holy book not to have been tampered with, proof of which is in the 100% similarity of Hifz (memorisation) between people who know the Quran.

What really struck me though was all the scientific evidence in the Quran, such as proving that the Earth wasn't a perfect sphere, that all the planets in our solar system orbit the sun, the vivid details of how a fertilised egg grows into a feotus etc, all WAY before these discoveries were made, and clear details chartered. I'm not exaggerating when I say there are hundreds and hundreds of these. Coincidence? Impossible.
One man (Muhammaed (PBUH)), who couldn't read or write, could surely NOT have been able to write, what I think is the most beautiful piece of writing. This was one of the miracles. (If you understand Arabic, you will be able to witness the sheer beauty of the language used in it).

Anyways, there were NUMEROUS reasons other than the ones I stated that converted me to Islam. It's not just a religion, it's a way of life for me and other Muslims.
