The true way is always fought

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmtullah wa barakatuh,

this is one of the conclusions I made over the last years.

No matter where you look: If you don‘t drink alcohol, you are considered lame. If you follow a strict diet and go to the gym and don‘t party or just chill and watch netflix, people try to talk you out of it. If you don‘t want to hook up with the opposite gender, they laugh at you. If you don‘t support the gender stuff in the media, you will receive a lot of hate. The list goes on and on.

And especially if you follow islam, they try to bring you out of it. If you talk to some non-muslims about islam, the first thing a lot of them do is to find the flaws, contradictions and „bad impacts“ it would have on their lives. Why do I know that? Because I was the same.

I was a believing christian and I liked the „freedom“ you had. No priest talks about not committing adultery is a sin or stuff like that. I prayed every night but it didn‘t fulfill me 100%.

At university I met some true muslimas. I started talking and texting with one of them about islam and christianity, I couldn‘t believe that such a „strict“ religion can be followed and especially I liked her and was not allowed to be her boyfriend or even marry her because I was christian and she also didn‘t want to have a boyfriend because it is not allowed in islam. I tried to convince her that it is the wrong way, I watched hours and hours of youtube videos about „flaws and contradiction“ in islam and I can tell you, if you don‘t know about islam you will directly believe them, because they give „proves from the muslim books“. Everything that I collected I sent her and at first she was a bit shocked, but she talked with her parents about it and alhamdulillah they know a lot about their religion and could refute all „arguments“.

After that I looked into islam in another, more curious perspective and found the true beauty of it. Some weeks later I accepted islam just before ramadan last year alhamdulillah.

What do I want to tell you with this? 1. Question it, if society is against it. Mostly some people just don‘t want to get out of their comfort zone and feel insecure if others do so and want to talk them out of it, because they feel better if the people around them are not better than them. 2. Especially for the muslim girls: Practice your religion and show it. Wear the hijab and be proud of you crown. You don‘t know who you will influence by that. This is also to the male muslims. Practice your religion, have a good character and invite others to islam. If you have a great personality the people around you will be curious why you are like that and eventually find islam too inshallah. 3. If you somehow question your religion, ask people of knowledge. There is so much hate on the internet about islam and these people at first seem really convincing. Don‘t trust them. If you have an issue, ask people of knowledge.

The true way is islam. We all have desires but following them like the western society does will just harm you long term. Trust me, I‘ve been through everything what you can do in western society but true happiness is only found in islam. That‘s why also many people would try to talk you out of it, because they would have to give up their desires for that religion.

May allah strengthen us in our deen, give us knowledge and the courage to show and represent to others the beauty of islam.

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmtullah wa barakatuh
