Why I am a Muslim?
The word Muslim means a person having the God Given Peace.
To achieve this Peace or salam, or to be a Muslim, we need to receive the Wisdom to Understand, Wish and Gather the "Two Lives into One" both Seen and Unseen together, promised for us.
I have two lives. I am a believer both in this life and in the life hereafter; i.e., a believer in both known and unknown life. If only we know The Way to lead our lives here, believing only in the Wisdom of Allah, then it leads to the life hereafter merging this life with the other, making the two lives into one. When I find The Way, through HIS SIGNS, I become a Witness to the Wisdom in this world for I do things invisibly in this life - from HIM, the Unseen; from applying hither to an unknown source of knowledge i.e., IMAN, that the people ever knew. This IMAN helps us throw away the worldly knowledge to receive from Him our Wish, i.e, His wisdom that gives us PEACE.
The worldly knowledge is hell here. No peace can be gained with this knowledge for you cannot ignore the fact that the fear and worry that each of us suffer in this life is only due to the use of our 'knowledge' and 'intelligence'. a manifest error which God gave us only as a test for us; to see whether we are proud with the very limited knowledge and reject His Wsidom, or, look up to His Wisdom rejecting the knowledge! I need to be a Muslim to have salamath, Peace at heart winning both the lives together so that we become shaheedis. Being Muslim gives Peace to lead both the lives without fear, worry of death or calamity until qiamah.
I need to lead the life as a Muslim

Peace be upon you Zarmina,
When someone asks you why you are a muslim, whats your reasoning?
First, I wil tell them that there question is incorrect. They should not ask "why am I a submitter", they should ask "why DO I submit", because "muslim" is an action, NOT a title. The God says do not die EXCEPT in a state of submission.
I have faith in this reading(quran) because it points me to the UNCHANGEABLE LAWS of the God. I see no error/contradictions in that parts that I can understand, I am still studying other parts to see if this is indeed true, but from what I understand so far, it has given me faith. We do not just blindly believe in it, we must have observable facts that cause us to have FAITH.

Salaamun alaikum Zarmina,
The Quran says Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things? (41/53)
The ayaat/signs in our horizons and in our selves will be identified/prophecised by the Quran such that we will be able to understand what is exactly going on in our realities. This is the Quran's proof of its authorship.
