[quote]Asalaam everybody
i know this is a bit basic, but its amazing how many of us over look the most simplest basis of our religion- the true meaning of belief
i just thought id sum it up for you guys quickly- sorry its kinda brief

You believe what you believe because it is YOU who chose to believe it

never give your religion as an excuse to do something

The next time you have to excuse yourself to pray for example, see how much of a difference it makes by saying,

'I want to go and pray now'

instead of

'I have to go and pray now'

Similarly, try saying something like

'I don't like to drink'

instead of

'My religion doesnt allow me to drink'

Over all, it forms an impression of an individual who can think for themselves, and does things because they chose to do it, not because they were told to.

Remember, you testified to believe in one God and Muhammed as His last messenger because the aspect made sense to you, not because the muslims look like a bunch of strongwilled people who will back you up in an arguement.

Basically...

never use your religion as an excuse not to do something.

If you have a brain, you'll find the logic behind what you believe and explain why you yourself choose to believe it.
