Things aren't going well with me since a long time. I had an athiestic mindset for a long time years back, learnt more & more on world religions, read other religions etc and finally came to conclusion that its either Islam or Agnosticism. I chose the former since its more rational.
1) Why did I chose Islam?
- Islam builds families, protects kinship, keep women feminine, and makes boys- men, society beautifies, creates a sense of brotherhood, puts a motto in people, and so on, and Most importantly, the Oneness of God.
-The sense of Gheerah, Haya, are 2 beautiful examples on how Islam makes people better.
2) Why do I want to switch to agnosticism now?
- Nothing can be recreated to prove Islam is the truth. Hundreds of duas mentioned in Sahih Hadiths, even duas for very specific situations like Anxiety, etc, but the problem is that none of these work. People say we need to put in the effort ourselves and make dua too, yes but how is that any different than a Hindu chanting some Mantra and putting in the effort anyways?
- Lets say a Muslim, a Xtian, a Hindu, and an Athiest got fever. The thiests pray to their gods & take medicine > fever reduces
- Now an Athiest takes medicine > Fever reduces
- So, is the praying part negligible? If not then the Xtian, Hindu and Athiest would never get better?
-I can compare the same example with businessess, hundreds of Athiestic businessess all doing strong with 0 faith or dua. Heck some of the most richest are Athiests which Muslims cannot even come close to?! Elon Musk for example.
-Now a Xtian, Hindu and a Muslim all pray and establish their businessess which grow. But the difference is that they thank god, not their efforts. But we can clearly see for majority of cases duas or prayers donot mean anything, but its the peoples own efforts that change the circumstances.
"Allah doesnt change the circumstances unless they change themselves"
-Then what is the point of dua or asking help of Allah if someone can change their circumstances anyways?
3) Things I find confusing / overlapping:
- Hindus, Xtian, Muslims, Jews, all pray and say "we got what we wanted all thanks to god"
- which doesnt make sense in and itself, because Islam is supposed to be the only truth, our Prayers were supposed to be the only prayers answered.
- Not that i am any saint, but I donot find any difference in doing anything ( work, business, studies ) with or without duas. Its just same each time.
- there are some very specific duas like Duas or dhikrs for anxiety which doesnt work. "OKay it may be answered later" - Why do I want my anxiety eased outisde of my anxiety episode?
