It is interesting to note that practically every convert/revert to Islam has a different reason, and, yes,the same goal.
My own reason I feel is very simple: Just logical thinking.
When I was 15 I realized that the Christian religion teaches:
First of all God gave us the inherited sin. Then, as a huge kindness to mankind, he sacrificed his one and only son to take away the inherited sin that he gave us in the first place.
My thought: He could have either not given us the inherited sin or he could have just said ‘I forgive you’.
In other words, it did not make any sense to me. So I looked around and found a German translation of the Quran in the Swiss Central Library.
I think as most people who get a copy of Quran we first read the first sura and then the small suras at the end of the book.
﷽
ﭑ ﭒ ﭓ ﭔ ﭕ
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He is Allah—One ˹and Indivisible˺;
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Say, “He is Allah, [who is] One,1
ﭖ ﭗ ﭘ
Allah—the Sustainer ˹needed by all˺.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.1
ﭙ ﭚ ﭛ ﭜ ﭝ
He has never had offspring, nor was He born.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
He neither begets nor is born,
ﭞ ﭟ ﭠ ﭡ ﭢ ﭣ
And there is none comparable to Him.”1
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Nor is there to Him any equivalent.”
Sounds like just common sense.

And why do people enter the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community? Well, one thing that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community teaches different is about the death of Prophet Jesus. The Ahmadis say that he migrated to Kashmir, where his grave can now be found in Srinagar. Yes, sounds a bit strange at first, but what is the alternative? Jesus having gone to the next world in this earthly body? A journey in those days from Palestine to Kashmir was quite far, but a journey in this earthly body to the next spiritual world (and back?) is even more far …. Logical thinking again….
