I began to research Islam more. I could not completely trust the Bible because my heart always came back with contradictions within it. People used to ask me what my religion was, and I would answer that I had no religion. This is because I saw the word religion as meaning someone's interpretation of a particular Holy book. The answer usually raised an eyebrow because they thought this meant I did not believe in God.
In September 1997 I went to Egypt for a two-day sightseeing stopover on the way to China for work. I bought a copy of the Holy Quran. I started reading it and was surprised that it was the exact same religion that I had in my heart. It answered a few of the remaining questions I had but most of it I already knew from inspiration during my prayers. I was so happy that I knew from the time I finished reading the Quran that I would not die and go to Hell to burn forever. All of my doubts were answered by it and the fact that I already knew most of it from my prayers and my study of the Holy Bible confirmed to me that the Quran had to be from God. Anyone whom would question the purpose of a man born in an environment like Arabia was 1400 years ago that dedicated his life to teach people not to worship idols and false Gods or surely misguided. He risked his life and those that chose to follow him to worship one God. He was blessed by receiving a special message from God to teach the people to worship one God alone. He received no monetary payment for his teaching and even had to leave his home to worship this one God, the same God that Jesus worshiped. And I was glad that he had written about how special that Jesus was.
Remember when the angles said:

0 Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah (The God) gives you the glad tidings of a Word ["Be!" - and he was! I.e. Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from him, his name will be the Messiah, Isa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honor in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah. -- Surat-u Ali Imran (3): 45 The Holy Quran
