HG Rezas' article titled Embracing Islam, Praying for Acceptance describes the transition that many Roman Catholic Latinos experienced when they decided to become Muslim. Kathy Espinoza stated that her transition from Catholicism to Islam was not difficult as both religions shared similar doctrines (Reza 2). The doctrinal dimension of a religion consists of its fundamental values ​​and beliefs. In monotheistic religions such as Islam and Catholicism, their doctrines are based on the belief that God is the creator of the universe and is the One on whom all human beings depend. Both religions believe in Jesus as a prophet and accept the importance of the virgin Mary. The difference between their doctrines is that Catholics believe in the holy trinity. Islam, in contrast, rejects the idea that God incarnated as a human being. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the faith of Catholicism is based on the Holy Trinity. The word trinity comes from "tri" meaning three and "unity" meaning one; Catholics believe that God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the same person. This doctrine is clear when it interacts dialectically with the Catholic narrative dimension. In the Bible, for example, there is a description of the Holy Trinity; the book of John chapter 15:22, mentions: "When the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me." This explains how God acquires three different forms without losing his essence. For Catholics, rejecting the existence of the Holy Trinity means denying God's sacrifice on the cross and not accepting that his spirit is among us. However, many people questioned Catholicism as they believed that…half of the card…size. After practicing Ramadan, Latin Muslims also learned the narrative dimension of Islam, since during their prayers they used the Koran which is also its sacred text. However, many misconceptions about Islam cause Catholics to be afraid of Islamic traditions without looking at the similarity between their doctrines. In the case of Latino Muslims, it was more difficult to tell their families about their conversion to Islam rather than the transition between the two religions. Works Cited Joyce, George.
