I've also checked the pictures of Allah's name in nature and, in the general feeling that Islam is the truth, found them amazing.
Then a week passed, I rationalized myself, checked other, non-islamic sources as well as non-exaggerating islamic ones. I find out that there are plenty of miracles in other religions and the mystical feeling went away.
I was raised a Christian, became an atheist at about 15, soon switched to more reasonable agnosticism. Then I had the islam-week I just described and have been an agnostic ever since (for almost a year now).
It's not about mystical feelings, it's about logic and proofs. Keep searching and your reach the light at the end of the tunnel
