Current Events > Trying to get into ISLAM! Recommend a Qur'an passage?

(+) Yeah! (+)

As an atheist who was raised as a Christian, I'm absolutely sick and tired of only having two sides to the whole story. I need to branch out on my religions. Help me get into Islam, CE!

Idk... maybe it's best to just look up islam on wikipedia or buy a book or something?

That part when a newly born Jesus speaks to Mary.

I hang out with some black hebrew israelites sometimes. it actually sounds somewhat legit tbh lol,

I used to laugh at them about it as a joke but when they started telling me more about what they believed, it was honestly quite similar to the head cannon i was getting from the Bible when I actually started reading it myself.

Sufism has always seemed interesting to me. If you're into esoteric stuff/Islam's version of Kabbalah, there you go

And remember Mary in the Book, when she withdrew from her family to an eastern place. And she veiled herself from them. Then We [God] sent unto her Our Spirit [the angel Gabriel], and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. She said, "I seek refuge from thee in the Compassionate [i.e., God], if you are reverent!" He said, "I am but a messenger of thy Lord, to bestow upon thee a pure boy."
She said, "How shall I have a boy when no man has touched me, nor have I been unchaste?" He said, "Thus shall it be. Thy Lord says, It is easy for Me." And [it is thus] that We might make him a sign unto mankind, and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed.
So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a place far off. And the pangs of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date palm. She said, "Would that I had died before this and was a thing forgotten, utterly forgotten!" So he called out to her from below her, "Grieve not! Thy Lord has placed a rivulet beneath thee. And shake toward thyself the trunk of the date palm; fresh, ripe dates shall fall upon thee. So eat and drink and cool thine eye. And if thou seest any human being, say, Verily I have vowed a fast unto the Compassionate, so I shall not speak this day to any man."
Then she came with him [the infant Jesus] unto her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary! Thou hast brought an amazing thing! O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not an evil man, nor was thy mother unchaste." Then she pointed to him [Jesus]. They said, "How shall we speak to one who is yet a child in the cradle?"
He [Jesus] said, "Truly I am a servant of God. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet. He has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I live, and [has made me] dutiful toward my mother. And He has not made me domineering, wretched. Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I am raised alive!"
That is Jesus son of Mary a statement of the truth, which they doubt.

Mary even got her own chapter, and she is mentioned more times than what she is in the Bible.
