Why I became a Muslim?

I had previously studied and tried different religions and did not know where I stood. I felt like a piece of thistledown being blown, about in the air, not knowing whither I was going. How could all these religions be true? I felt that one of them must be right, but which one? None of them really seemed what I was looking for until I learned about Islam and then I know contentment... Like a thunderbolt from the blue came the truth of God's great message sent to us through the prophets from time to time until the last one Muhammed(Sallallah alahi wa sallam) and then there was to be no more, and there has been no more...

Man has polluted these good works of God and in so doing has committed sin and we who were brought up to believe it as the true message have been ignorant of the fact; but when Islam's faith with its true facts dawned upon us we look back and feel sorry that we had been taught wrongly with man-made religion to suit their own demands. Surely the wrath of God shall come upon such ... I find that the Islamic religion is so very befitting to all our natural surroundings, such as night and day, sun and moon, the wind and rain and millions of signs for those who can see but some of us are so blind of self vanity, and the desire of money and other selfish needs that we are not aware of those signs, but a day will come when all shall see; but also, too late.
