I started spending time in the library, researching books on religion and philosophy. I hit all the isms: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Mormonism. I finally asked my Muslim friend, Jamin, about his faith. The way he described Islam made sense to me. Their spiritual practices were pretty straightforward, and they had a book that laid out all the rules. Jamin gave me a Quran, and I started studying it at home. I even went to a mosque with him once.
