Well, easy question, or is it? For me, the answer is because I believe in one God, Allah, and to Him, and only Him, I pray and put all my trust, belief, hope and love. Allah is my Lord and I'm His slave.
Everyday I thank Allah for letting me be a Muslim, one of His slaves, one of those Allah loves. It is a honour, greater than any and I thank Allah and pray for my sins to be forgiven.
But then again, a voice inside of me hears the question "Why are you a Muslim" and this voice answers, deep down in me, "Because Allah is my friend. My only friend."
And I don't know how to explain it, yet I will have to otherwise I find no peace...lol Just kidding.
Since I was a little child, when I was veeery little, the day I for the first time heard Allah's name mentioned, made me immediately think of someone/something familiar... Since that time when I first really heard my parents talk about Allah and still now, is Allah more familiar than my own parents, my own family. It feels like I've known Allah all my life and before.
He is my true friend, the only one who really does understand me, even better than I understand myself.
Everytime I find myself thinking like this, I feel happy and totally in peace... And alone. Because I know how close I ever will find myself towards Allah (swt) in this duniya, we are still apart, so I have to be patient until the day He and I will meet.
Oh, and inshallah, when that glorious day comes, and He calls at me, I will be His good slave, in other words a good Muslim.
This is why I am a Muslim.
It is the religion closest to Allah (subhana wa taa'ala).

Sorry... This topic really made me write a lot... Old memories came back and I just had to explain how I feel and think when I hear this question "Why Muslim?"
Hopefully you didn't get bored to death, if you even it this far... lol :giggling:
I pray for your imaan to stay strong and may Allah have mercy on you. Amiin.
Ma salama.
