What are "fun facts" you could share about Islam?

[patriz]

I'm catholic and surrounded by Muslim friends. This religion is one that I highly respect. The person I love is a Muslim and I feel closer to him the more I learn about the religion. Generally, Islam is a beautiful religion and I want to learn more about it in any way I can. Thank you.

Oh my. Thank you. I'm simply interested to learn as much as I can so I don't have anything specific.

I agree with this, @patriz . I had a coworker that is Muslim and we had hundreds of amazing talks about the similarities and differences of Islam and Eastern Orthodoxy. There are a lot of parallels between Islam and Christianity. The conversations would get even more interesting when we would explain the the theology behind the differences. Good stuff. Ask him. It's not a debate. Just an opportunity to share and learn. Yay!

Maybe you could visit a mosque?

I'm sure they'd be delighted to share all they know.

Thank you. I haven't considered that at all.

Relatable. Then they earn my respect every time.

Writing as a Muslim myself, it's clearly a fact that the religion itself has naturally been corrupted by mankind since its inception.

The Quran is the miracle within it all for me; the light within the darkness. So may Muslims see it as just a book of guidance, but I think it's so much more. I think it has the power to heighten one's true character, be it good or evil. One verse from it comes to mind in this regard:

"and God sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills."

(14:4)
