In reply to the discussion: My Journey From Moderate Muslim to Seeker of Love [View all]yallerdawg
(16,104 posts)9. Islam is most often described (elsewhere) as a most beautiful and fulfilling experience.
Daliah says:
In that moment of clarity, my consciousness awakened to the realization that it was futile to search outside of myself for fulfillment, because the transience of relationships to things, people and places can never offer enduring satisfaction. All at once, I became aware of being held in the arms of a Love so great it encompassed everything. The burden on my heart was replaced with an immense sense of peace. That moment changed the course of my life for it allowed me to grasp the true magnificence of my own consciousness and its ability to come in contact with the realm of Spirit.

Agreed, but I feel that the description is an integral part of the experience.
