Hello Maktab ... this is Fred.

Thank you for this well-constructed argument for Islam. I can see why you choose to follow this religion (and I wouldn't want you to change your mind), but as follower of Jesus myself, I do believe that your nine points (common reasons for choosing to embrace Islam) can equally be applied to Christianity - and probably to many other religions as well.

I note that the Quran does honor Jesus, and whilst I am not asking you to do the same, I would hope that you too might recognize a fellow-in-faith.

Mahatma Gandhi certainly did, and he was neither a Muslim nor a Christian. Yet he said:

"Real Religion Transcends All Religions. Religion should pervade every one of our actions. Here religion does not mean sectarianism. It means a belief in ordered moral government of the universe. It is not less real because it is unseen. This religion transcends Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, etc. It does not supersede them. It harmonizes them and gives them reality"

Also, Maktab, I want to thank you for reading some of my Medium stuff and deciding to follow me. Thank you for ‘the follow’.

I decided to follow to follow YOU.

I’m happy to have you as one of my new Medium friends, and I wish you all the best with your own writing journey.

Fred
