To continue the discussion, now that you have come to the conclusion that there is some truth in Islam while there is some truth in Budhism what is your decision about yourself? Will you stay put or come to Islam or design a new amalgamation? You might have got my inclination that I'd like you to come to Islam.

You can't convert to a religion just based on reading their Scripture, you might read something with your understanding and think what a great religion, and then come to find out no muslim understands it that way. I have several other books that I must go through first.

This muslim i know recommended several books for me. So I plan and reading them first before making any decision. I have them all. The books are:

1. reliance of the traveler, which is a book on Islamic Law.
2. I also got Tafsir Jalalayn, which he told me is one of the most authoritative commentries of the quran.
3. I have two book on Islamic belief, the Creed of Imam Tahawi and also Fiqh Akbar explained.
4. Also have the compendium of Knowledge and Wisdom, which is a commentary on some hadith of Muhammad.
5. The Way of Abu Madyan a book on sufism.

Just skimming through these books it seems like it will take a while to get through them. I know its alot, he recommended some shorter books, but I told him, I want to read books that Muslims actually read and refer on a regular basis.

I want to get through all these before making a decision. This muslim told me these books will give me a thorough picture of Islam. So we will see......
