You ask(he mind Dar ul islam), if I would like a Muslim name. Certainly, why not? I think "Muhamad" would be very suitable, as it will always tend to keep me in remembrance of him who brought the Good Tidings (praised be his name).

My reasons for embracing Islam are as follows:

a) Sub-consciously I have always been a Muslim, but for years have struggled against the fear of social ostracism, which, thanks be to Him, is no longer a hindrance.

b) Islam is unity, and has successfully broken down the barrier of racial differences and has consolidated humanity as no other Faith has ever done.

c) Its prayers are unvarying, yet devotedly beautiful and substantial, 'and like the flowers of the narcissus, feed the soul.'

d) It demands pilgrimage, to test the earnestness of man, and gives him the experience of satisfaction, for in giving so little he receives so very much
