Assalam O Alikum my brothers and sisters in Islam.
I'm 21 y/o guy, originally from Pakistan, but moved to Australia to study B.Sc last year.
Here, I made loads of friends. Each belonging to different cultures/religions/castes.
Through them in a lot of ways my faith in Islam strengthened; majorly because I was in the position to defend my religion and research more on the arguments they posed against Islam.
Things that are currently bothering me are:
- My Christian friend said, that Prophet Muhammad PBUH didn't know much about Trinity himself and because of that, the Quran itself is confused about the concept of Trinity (since according to him the Quran only contains the knowledge that he learned from others). Since, firstly, Q[5:116] talks about people taking Jesus and Mary as Gods (I understand it mentions Mary because some people did actually considered her Godly), secondly, Q[4:171] doesn't say what's actually meant by Trinity apart from hinting that Trinity is God+Jesus+Mary. He says, if Quran is really true why doesn't it mention that Trinity is God+Jesus+Holy Spirit?
- What's the authenticity of the hadiths concerning Prophet Muhammad's bodily discharges? I was reading an article that said people used to drink the water that would drop when Prophet Muhammad would do Wu'du. Or in a lot of instances, the Prophet Muhammad would use his spit to cure people's ailments. Or he in one instance spat in a dry well and it started running again. Or people saving the Prophet Muhammad's sweat. Do you people think it's an over-exaggeration? Or just people doing all of that because of the love of the Prophet PBUH?
- Did Mai'raj really happen as a physical journey, or was it something meta-physical in the sense of Astral projection of some sort?
In my heart, I know Islam is right, and I have my faith in it. I'm a practicing Muslim as well, however, doubts sometimes are very draining for me, and at times I start to even doubt my choices for following Islam. May Allah SWT keep me (and all the Muslims) strong on the right path.
I don't want to be the regular Muslim just because my forefathers were Muslims. I need faith and conviction in whatever I do; therefore, I'm always cautious about my doubts and try to address them ASAP.
Jazak Allah al Khairan
