faith.

Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!

so cool sometimes i just cant help it.


-that statue makes me think so much about how everything in the world including ourselves function daily.


-scooby doo. such an ironic line that my bro took a pic at..i dont think he really meant to either haha


so anyways, the other day i had some thoughts about religions. if you know me then youd know that i think that most religions are saying the same thing. and man, the one person who i dont like listening to had the answers i was wondering about. my dad is pretty knowledgable on some religions so he kind of helped me clear my answers up. but the worst part is that now im confused. my faith would be that all i know is that i believe in that there is a one powerful god. he/she or it has communicated to people through the given chosen people. now my issue was that i just didnt understand why if there is def one god, how come there are so many diff religions. i took a step back to understand islam a little bit more..now dont go judging bc i look brown = that makes me muslim. now let me clear some things up about islam. the general idea nowadays is that muslims believe in "allah"-first of all allah is another name for god. it doesnt specify whether god is a he or she, and neither is it meant to specify gods gender. its just a word that means god whether male,female, or other. the word is not arabic either. it never once in the quran or anywhere say it was an arabic word, its kind of like an alien term. now i wonder whether people knew that in the quran there is a story of revelation as well. the story is the exact same as the bible. it even indicates that jesus will come back as well for that day of judgement. now the biggest problem with people i think is that ever since 911, muslims have been looked at very sorely. has anyone caught a trend that america and its people like to hate on something at all times until a new thing comes along?before muslims wasnt it vietnamese? the actions of a few people shouldnt mean that it was the mindset of everyone else. and there are the few assholes who ruin the images bc of certain actions or certains things they say. those are the fools who give the world its entertainment though i guess.afterall people like to see other peolpe make fools out of themselves.
now the reason for my confusion is that i thought i was not very muslim, and i still think that i am not, bc of how i dont pray at all or "namaz" technically, and i do all the other things were not supposed to at all and until were married and whatnot. but im not going to lie, when i sat there and asked my dad questions his answers resonated a little with my soul.haha. it made me think about all the religions again(mainly the mainstream ones, if you follow me) i feel like i should straight up say/write those thoughts down but one thing that ive learned is when i speak or write out of turn it ends up not going so well. i dont think that what i say is right anyways, but of course what comes from my mouth is what is going on in my mind, but mines only. so other people dont have to agree, your more than welcome to lash out at me, but i just want to understand why there are so many problems btw religions when all they do i preach the same thing. maybe its the money or maybe they just want to be the right. but my new belief and motto to life is that, as long as you have faith there is no need to try to get others to follow, god gave us the ability to think for ourselves, we have the knowledge of right and wrong(the greateset gift yet the one thing that can make a human being weak), basically our free will, so in the end, its always going to be up to you and only you to decide what your actions will be.

--feel free to ask me questions and i mean if your going to yell at me this will help too i guess
