I Am Muslim

I think being a muslim is just super cool.

Like, youre free to party whenever you want to but you shouldnt get drunk. Youre free to hang out with your friends as much as you please but you shouldn't do drugs. Youre free to do WHATEVER you want to yet without harming yourself or others. Yet, its not about being free, its about showing restraint and self-discipline and that aint easy. Its tough to always control yourself and be responsible, that's why i think its really cool to be a muslim.
