Islam is growing rapidly in the West and around the world and is often called the fastest growing religion. In the U.S. alone, the number of Muslims has risen dramatically, from about ten thousand in the year 1900 to at least several million people today. Despite widespread misconceptions about women in Islam, a growing number of women are finding that Islam is the true religion and the best way of life. Each person who embraces Islam has a unique story and special reasons.
This booklet sheds light on the four main reasons for this rapid change in the West to Islam, and it recounts the stories of some thoughtful converts to show the reasons for their conversion.

What drives them to learn about Islam
Indonesia is the country with the largest number of Muslims, with more than 250 million citizens, out of which Muslims comprise 87% of the population. Islam entered Indonesia in the sixth century AH by virtue of the good morals of Muslim traders. Not a single army reached there; in fact, Indonesia only experienced bloodshed after the arrival of the Portuguese and Dutch armies, followed by English colonialists. Muslims have remained firm upon their religion through the centuries because they embraced it by choice and conviction. In Indonesia today, there are thousands of Islamic institutes in which tens and thousands of male and female students study.

Absence of Priesthood in Islam
Many religions have given the religious prerogative to certain individuals to the exclusion of all others. People’s faith and worship is conditional on the consent and approval of these individuals. According to these faiths, the individuals act as intermediaries between people and God, granting forgiveness and claiming to know the unseen and consider those who oppose them doomed to utter loss and misery.
