I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim
[big]When the conflict between truth and falsehood rages on until it reaches its peak and each side does its best to achieve victory, there is a critical hour when falsehood reaches its utmost power while truth suffers its hardest ordeal. In such hard time, steadfastness is a turning point; hence a decisive test of the believers’ faith starts. If they hold firmly on their faith, then everything will change to their advantage. And the truth starts its way upward while falsehood starts its way downward, and the expected end is stated in the name of Allah.[/big]
One who strives to strengthen an oppressor and knows he is an oppressor has already left Islam. The real Muslim is the one who prefers speaking the truth even when it is ruinous to him over lying even when it benefits him, and who finds inner peace in doing so.
In one's act of faith one participates in the truth through reason and heart, faith already implies a particular level of knowledge and of certainty.
Some people make the mistake of confusing "submission" with "weakness", whereas it is anything but. Submission is a form of peaceful acceptance of the terms of the universe including the things we are currently unable to change or comprehend. I accepted the fact that there are things beyond my limits. We have no rational evidence that there exits another world, but we have a clear feeling that man does not exist only to produce and to consume.
