This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
1. Practice Islam as much as you can
“He who loves my Sunnah has loved me, and he who loves me will be with me in Paradise.” -The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) (Tirmidhi)
As a new Muslim, you will have trouble keeping up with prayers every day, fasting during Ramadan, and the many other practices in…
I disagree.
This is basically saying that extremist Islam condones terrorism or that all terrorism is attributed to Islamic extremism.
That is wrong.
9/11 is responsible for today’s connotation of the word terrorism, and those who are responsible for 9/11 used their personal interpretation of Islam to justify what happened. That interpretation does not equate to a literal or “extreme” translation of true Islam.
It makes me really mad when people question why my faith in religion isn’t strong, or why I don’t do certain things, etc. I am struggling with my deen, yes, but I’m working on making it stronger. I don’t need others pointing it out or criticizing me. My path towards God is mine alone, that involves just myself and Allah. No need for third party “help” because at the end of the day it’s still my struggle and you aren’t helping anyone.
