There are many reasons as to why people may become Muslim. From a non-religious perspective I could say:
- Because they were indoctrinated. Their parents believed it, the belief was imposed on their impressionable mind, and they had no choice.
- They interpreted a natural (though unusual/improbable) phenomenon as a miracle.
- Their mind played tricks on them and they saw/heard something demonstrating the existence of Allah.
- They concluded that Allah exists because there is no alternative explanation available to them which seems as reasonable.
In the past tense, you may be referring to the time when Islam was starting. People became the first Muslims because Muhammed was a very respected member of their community. Although as I understand it, the first Muslims were ostracised, their numbers continued to grow in their independent community. The alleged circumstances of the foundation of Islam give great credence to the truth of the faith. The isolation of Muhammed at the time when the revelation came to him strongly implies that the Qur'an could only have come from God. With such overwhelming evidence, conversion was easy.
From the opposite perspective I could say:
- Because Allah revealed himself to them
- Because Allah's intervention into the world was seen by them, so they believed
- Because they heard Allah speak to them, or they saw the Prophet Muhammed walking towards them across the desert sands
There are other reasons, of course. I could not speak entirely on behalf of both sides, so there will be things to be added.
