This can be a verse, a book, a chapter, or what have you. I know a bit about Islamic history and a teeny bit about it's theology, but it's one thing to read about a theory and another thing entirely to hear about its adherents' spiritual experiences or thoughts.
If you prefer, tell us a spiritual experience that helped you find where you are today or even a specific point about Islam that you feel distinguishes it positively from every other belief system.
Thanks, and God bless! :D

I'm not Muslim, but I learned a little about it both at school and through having had a Sufi Mulsim boyfriend for a good while (yes, I know it sounds tacky to cite that as evidence, but we genuinely did discuss religion and spirituality a lot).
My favourite, as a verse definitely for tolerance and love, is probably:
And do not dispute with the followers of the Book except by what is best, except those of them who act unjustly, and say: We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One, and to Him do we submit.(Qur'an 29:46)

I don't know if this was in the Qu'ran but Muhammad once said don't wage Gehad (forgive my spelling) on others for they might be right.

Agreed.
"When the sun ceases to shine; when the stars fall down and the mountains are blown away; when camels big with young are left untended and the wild beasts are brought together; when the seas are set alight and men's souls are reunited; when the infant girl, buried alive, is asked for what crime she was slain; when the records of men's deeds are laid open and the heaven is stripped bare; when hell burns fiercely and Paradise is brought near: then each soul shall know what it has done."
The most beautiful hereafter ever...

And thereafter We said to the Children of Israel: "Dwell securely in the Promised Land." And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd. (Qur’ân XVII. 104)
