Possible Conversion

[Verminicious Knid]

My friend's been quite interested in religion for a while, in particular, Islam. He asked to borrow a Quran I had in April (I'd gotten it off a Muslim demonstrator who was telling me about Islam) and he has a lot of Muslim friends. But recently, it seems like his interest is peaked in it, as he's spoken about going to a Mosque, going to Mecca and he's been saying 'Peace be upon him' whenever he mentions Muhammad.

I'm just wondering, if he's interested in becoming Muslim, why hasn't he mentioned it directly to me? Is there any way I can indicate to him I'm open to him becoming Muslim?

I think religion is hard to talk about out of fear that u will get in an argument.. for me im Mormon and am happy to be one but I still don't go to all my non Mormon friends talking a lot about it. so I think it should be you to ask him if you are interested in it, maybe he just thinks you don't like the path he has chose and is scared to discuss it with you :)

This is kind of ironic that I'm seeing this post. I purchased a Qur'an recently just to check out what Islam was all about(in other words, I don't plan on becoming a Muslim). I think you should promote him on it and maybe even try going to a mosque with him. I would do it just for the experience because I've never been to one myself. You have to keep an open mind about these things like he is evidently doing. Hope I helped!

Because Religion as I have learned is a very touchy subject to some. I guess he can indirectly conversate with you his interest in it. For example, someone doesn't have to outright say they are vegetarian to someone. When you go to eat, they just won't eat any meat products. They didn't fully tell you they were vegetarian, but now you know for future reference that this person is vegetarian.

I guess you can take that same example to this situation. He seems to be letting you he is converting to Islam by his actions. For whatever reason only he knows, he hasn't directly told you that he is going through with this, but to me, he has indirectly told you. He is telling you by his behavior.

Again, it's going to the whole religion discussion thing. It's a very personal controversial topic and sometimes it's just really hard to open and have level headed conversations about, even within people who share the same religion or are open minded to all religions. Hopefully everything works out well with this situation. :)

I'd be open to going into a Mosque! And aww, jealous! I wish I'd kept a hold of my Quran and my Muslim booklets, from what I skimmed off them, they seemed intriguing.

This version of the quran is very well priced and it is a great edition. It's the one I bought and it explains everything about Islam.

just mention that you would be interested in going to the masque with him to check it out for yourself. that might start some discussion and you can mention to him that you are interested in converting yourself.
