Another question:
Freemasons claims their brotherhood is not a religion or substitute for one. However, Freemasonries uses a lot of Jewish and Christians Symbols and themes. As mentioned above the York rite is very Christian and uses the metaphor of Knight Templar, the oath to defend Christianity, etc...

Why so?

Moreover, the symbolism and themes and in particular what is related to Christian themes is incompatible with the Muslim creed and theology. Also, when referring to the Attributes of the "Creator", GOD, Those attributes are well know for any young Muslims and none of those attributes resemble those of the creations. For Muslims, it is forbidden to relate the attribute (or their meanings) of the creations to the Creator.

I have been asked why one decide to become a Freemason?

The explanation I got is that it should be more than just building a better person, more than just becoming a philanthropist. And, becoming a Freemason is like the membership of secret "power house". Whatever that means.

Masonry is not a religion but you must believein a higher power. As to what that power is is your personal business. The York Rite is christian based.

As for why I became a Mason it is ment to make good men better. you get out of it what you put into it. If someone just wants to join to say they are a Mason (and there are some that do) then its not for you.
