Well, my story is kind of personal, but I will share it any way. I was in prison and stayed in trouble actually, because I was a real hot head. So one day I was hole(segregation) and just picked up the bible and couldnt put it down I saw it impossible to create the earth in seven day and wanted answers, the chaplian couldnt answer my question. Then I read my firt contradiction about Isaac(a.s.) being the first born and Ishma'il being the wrongfully born. When I questioned the chaplian He told me dont question the bible just believe, but I read the bible saud test what is brought to you to be truth. Then I read how jacob(a.s.) wrestled with God and won, I was through with the bible. So I went to the nation of islam that was short because God is not races and once I understood their doctrine that wasnt what I was looking for, the same with the Moorish science temple of america. When I saw that the founder of the nation of islam came from the m.s.t. of a., and both of them were founded in the 1900's I didnt see truth in them. Then one day I saw a guy speaking a funny and putting his head on the floor and bowing so I waited for him to finish then I asked him what were you just doing he said praying why? I said why do you pray like that, He said do you really want to know? I said yes and he gave me three books 1.breif illustration to islam. 2.christian muslim dialogue. 3.why I choose islam. and that started my never ending journey. I have been muslim for five years and counting.
