I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

As I begun to trust The Almighty more and more, I had confidence, hope, and a heart filled with peace like never before.

We pray not only because we need something, but because we have a lot to be thankful for. Sometimes I have no shoulder to cry on, but I always have my forehead to put on the ground and cry to God.

I believe in Islam like I believe in the sun. Not because I can see it, but because by it, I see everything else. Let's be kind to our heart and stop worrying about the things which are out of our control. God will handle them.

[Quran 13:24]

Peace be upon you, because you endured patiently. How excellent is the Final Home.

God is just a source of hope for people who can't trust on their own ability to make things right and get out of misery so they trust on a third maybe existing maybe non existing being.

@SlytherinGuy Do you believe that you have full control over everything in your life?

SlytherinGuy · 22-25, M

@Madeleine for the most part I do believe I have full control over my life besides if god is actually so righteous and without flaws, why does he expect me to bow down and praise him every moment of my life to have a good life? Is being a good person and helping others not enough for me to lead a good life? Is self realisation not a quality good enough for it to be compared to slfish deeds like charity expecting god to bless you for it?I don't see the point in that.

@SlytherinGuy Maybe you want to look at it from the opposite angle, even though you do not bow down to God, you are still blessed by God with countless blessings, it's simply because you need God, and that's why we worship God. God doesn't need us, we need Him. And He is worshiped because He is worthy of being worshiped. Being a good person is a good thing, but denying and being ungrateful to your ultimate Sustainer is not a quality of a good person. Especially that you do not have full control over your life, you know for a fact there's much more to it than yourself.

@Madeleine don't y'all holy texts condemn the non believers tho? Lol how am I blessed if I'm frowned upon by the same god? What I am and what I ever will be will be bc of my own self and I do not need someone to bless me when I'm worshiping them and curse me when I'm not lol besides, people don't need god, people just need something to keep their faith in, god is a hypothetical concept that helps people keep patience and hope for good and As time passes it's the same people who change their lives to a better life not god. Besides, it is god who needs us to worship him from the same holy books y'all swear upon. Why would one ask us to worship them when he doesn't need us to? God is just hope and goodwill nothing more. Those who understand that, make their lives succesful bc they now believe in themselves and not some hypothetical concept that has no base to it.

@SlytherinGuy Respectfully, the real question is not how you feel, but whether God exist or not.
