Islam is a Way of Life

Assalamualaikum and Hey There.

     Sometimes people don't have time for complete explanations, so this might come as handy. IDK... Or maybe the people are among your age so you don't want to confuse them. Either way... 

1. "Why do you cover your head?" 

     "Because God asks me to do so."

     "But why aren't your friend wearing a veil?" 

     "Insya-Allah, she will, soon."

      "What did you say? Insy--" 

       "Insya-Allah?"

       "Yes. That one."

       "Insya-Allah means If Allah wills in Arabic. We need to say that everytime we want to make promises 'cause we won't know what will happen in the future. Plus, words are prayers. The more I hope for her to change, the more likely she will change."

   2.     "And why does she now not covering head when it's a must?"

        "Okay, let's take it this way. As a child, who do you love the most?"

        "My parents..?" 

        "Indeed, but then, when they ask us to do chores like do the dishes and clean your room, we don't always listen, right? It's a lie if you say you never said no."

        "Yeah..." 

         "Same goes to everyone, including Muslims. As a human being, we sometimes are too weak and reluctant to obey our own Creator." 

         

 3.   (another version) "Why do you cover your head?" 

       "You know, they say that even in fashion, showing less skin is more classy."

     "Yeah, but they never say about showing less hair or no hair at all." 

     "Oh that, I leave that all to your imagination. You need to work and enhance your imagination, before you're getting too old." 

4. "Why do you pray?"

     "To be closer to God."

      "What did you get for being closer to God?"

      "A lot. Like my smartness and pimple-free face. Okay maybe not that flawless."

      "Ohh, don't self-hate yourself. You're beautiful."

       "I'm sorry. Didn't you hear that I literally just bragging about my beauty and brain?"

       "Yeah right."

5.    "Don't you think you're wasting time by having to pray 5 times a day?"

        "No, I don't. 'Cause roughly a prayer would take about 5 minutes so that'd be 25 minutes a day. Only 25 minutes out of 1400 minutes for your God everyday? That's barely a long time. I mean, we take a way longer time for eating and sleeping."

6.    "Why can't you touch a guy?"

       "I do can. As long as I'm wearing my gloves."

       "What's the deal with skin-to-skin?"

       "Umm, let's just say I'm a germaphobes."

       "You are a germaphobes?"

       "Only with boys' germs."

       "Now you're acting immature."

       "Hey! I'm just trying to make it easy for you."

       "Seriously, Ayu, can't you be serious for like, 5 seconds?"

       "Right, I actually leave my bare skin totally touch-free from elligible guys so that my future husband can enjoy it. Jealous much?"

        "I might be your future husband."

         "Oh please, no, you won't."

7. "Are you still a virgin?"

      "Proudly yes."

      "OMG, how lame!""

       "Excuse me, which part of me being a virgin is lame?"

        "The part that you never had a sexual experience before?"

        "You know why I'm doing this? 'Cause I believe that a husband should   have the best from his wife and not something second-hand. And vice versa."

 8. "You're such a bragger. You think that you're holier and better than us and we're sick of you."

      "I'm sorry, in Islam, we're not saying that we're better than you guys, but we actually wanna show you a better way of life."

  9. "Why can't you eat pork?"

      "Ok, why some people don't eat seafood?"

      "Because... they are allergic to it?"

       "Yes. And the same goes to me."

        "Nobody's allergic to pork, you liar."

        "No, the same goes to me- it makes me sick."

Islam is the one

Assalamualaikum and hey there.

1. What makes you think Islam is the true religion?

Because Islam is the only religion that have and use Al-Quran. Al-Quran is a magical miracle. It's beautifully written, rhythmic even when you read the translation version, you'll feel the beauty. There's so many science inside it, from the creation of humans to the presence of day and night. There's al so so many good stories in it.

2. And what makes you think Al-Quran is God's creation and not human's?

If you have a very old Al-Quran, let's say dated 100 years old belongs to your great-great grandfather, I can guarantee you the content is 100% the same as Today's Al-Quran. It's very pure. Very original. It's forbidden for Muslims to change it even 1 alphabet. And I know it's not human's creation because prophet Muhammad pbuh, the chosen one who was given the Al-Quran, cannot read and write.This shows that it is straight from Allah, nothing added. I mean, it's like when you don't know Chinese characters and someone asks you to give a letter of it to someone. If you even add some Chinese characters you know, it won't be beautifully written any more, right?

Assalamualaikum and hey there.

So, as well as I know, Islam is the most religion with believer and is also, the most misunderstood religion, for which the media has labelled us from terrorists to extremists.

I might be young. Wait no, I am young. But I know things about my religion, and I wish to clear things up. So, here are the FAQs.

1. What/Who do you actually worship?

Allah is my god, your god and everybody's god. Since Allah is God, Allah doesn't look like a human. So, Allah has no gender. The only reason why we use 'he' is because 'he' shows greater power than 'she'. And Allah is one, so we don't use 'they'. Since Allah doesn't LOOK like a human, we don't know how Allah looks like and we CAN'T assume it. Imagine this, you're going to meet Taylor. You never met Taylor, never talked to Taylor, never chatted with Taylor, just a mutual friend told you about Taylor going to meet you. You don't even know if Taylor is a guy or a girl. It could be Taylor Swift, or Taylor Lautner. It could be Taylor Kitsch, oh there's so many Taylor! But the point is, you never knew how Taylor looks like. Fair, tan, black, blonde, brunette, fat, thin, etc. So, how can you even assume??

2.What's the prove that Allah exists when you can't see Allah?

How do you know wind exists? Because your hair blows at the beach, the trees sway occasionally, right? Same goes to Allah. The effects show you the cause. Even the amazing bulb has its inventor, how could a wonderful sun doesn't have one? Even the Eiffel Tower has its creator, how could the Everest doesn't have one??

3. Then why are you worshipping the Kaabah?

Kaabah is a huge cube located in Masjidil Haram (Al-Haram Mosque), Mecca. Kaabah is not Allah and we're not worshipping it. It's just a symbolic. It symbolises our unity. Imagine there's no Kaabah, we'd pray at any direction we want. There would be no agreement. Kaabah shows that Islam is an organized religion. Let me tell you, to prove that Kaabah is just a symbol, not the God, before Kaabah, we pray facing the Al-Aqsa Mosque. But when Allah ordered us to pray facing Kaabah, we changed it and followed it. And even if Kaabah somehow would be destroyed, we'd still be facing the actual base of it. Because it doesn't matter, what Allah ordered is the matter most.

4. Why Muslims are terrorists?

Somehow, only Muslims are the only terrorists who are related to their religion. What, you never saw any white people as terrorists before? Look, the thing is, not all Muslims follow Islam fully. The same thing goes to any other religions. Does Christian women cover their heads like nuns? Do you guys avoid sex before marriage? Well, most of you don't. Same as Muslims. You don't expect us to follow our religion fully when you don't. And terrorism has never been permitted in our religion. In fact, Islam forbids terrorism. So, long story short, Muslims involve in terrorism are the ones who offend Islam, and offend Allah.

5. Why do you have to pray so often?

You know what, everything that happen is a blessing.Count them. The air, your eyes, your hands, your feet, your five senses, your wealth, your health, food and drinks, everything. Praying shows that you are grateful with your blessings. So, how could you just say thank you every week or every Easter Day when you have so many blessings? That's why we pray five times a day . Actually, it's not even a burden. You only need 5 minutes to pray. So, in total 25 minutes a day. So, can you still complaining when you only spend less half an hour a day for your creator?

6.  Why do you fast? It looks like you're torturing yourself for not even eating or drinking. Should you be that extreme?

Actually, we're not. Badar War was held on the daylight of Ramadan month, the fasting month. And we won it. Even with empty stomach. Fasting doesn't mean we don't even eat the whole day. It's just we don't eat or drink during the daylight. Early in the morning, we eat and then at dusk, we eat again. See? two times a day. Fasting is scientifically proven to be good for your health. It gives your exhausted stomach to rest from digesting food. It also makes us feel thankful with food that we eat, since now we know how it feels to be starving like those poor people in some place with no food.

7. Why does Muslim women covered their heads?

Actually, we're not just covering our heads. Our hijab should also cover our hair, ears, neck and chest. In Islam, women are very precious. Women are the world's prettiest jewellery. So, do you put your jewellery on the dirty street? I believe you're not that stupid. Same goes to Muslim women. We hide our beauty so that people won't kidnap us, harass us nor rape us. We keep our beauty so that our husbands can feel the first experience of it. We believe that husbands should have the best because we're going to be with that guy for the rest of our lives. That's why. You know what, bonus, hijab or veil can also hide your bad hair day.


I hope this is helpful.

Stay faithful.
