Some here know that I explored Islam last year, and more than mere study. I had begun to adopt the prayer life on a daily basis (even the early morning prayer, which was hard to awaken so early at first!), and my Muslim friends were teaching me how to view certain aspects of the Qur'an, etc. But, there came a point, when I just couldn't accept or reconcile certain areas of the Qur'an with my own perceptions about life, and worldview. And since returning to Christianity, I feel very whole, if that makes sense. Very at peace with my belief that Jesus is the way, the Truth and the Life. (at least for me, this is 'my' truth)
But, since returning to faith, I've decided to start reading the Bible again with a bit more fervor, and perhaps that caused me to remember the time last year when I started diving deeper into Islam. The prayer life, in particular, is really beautiful and edifying, and I miss it, some days. But, my views on Jesus are what they are, and that is diametrically opposed to Islam. So I just toss this out there to you all, as this site has been a safe haven of non-judgement (for the most part lol) where I can share that I miss Islam and maybe you can tell me it's okay to have these feelings.
Thanks for listening!
