Shah also examines Islam’s heavily anti-anthropomorphic stance and Islamic theological discourse on tawheed as well as the ninety-nine names of God and what these have meant in relation to Muslim understanding of God and His attributes.

When his questions about the Christian faith were left inadequately answered, and with the help of his elder brother who had recently converted to Islam, Ondigo’s search for the truth led him towards Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy Journey from Christianity to Islam is an autobiographical work, charting this faith journey with some reflections that Ondigo made along the way concerning both religions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He discusses discrepancies in the Christian faith, particularly those with regards to the position of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him). He also touches on some of the uplifting discoveries he made about the Islamic faith and how it calls Muslims to live their daily lives. \u003cbr\u003eThis story follows the increasing trend in modern times of people coming to Islam and also provides insight for those interested in comparative religion."}
