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.

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.
