Re: Is it OKAY to have doubts?

@Helpp

I don’t know if this is acceptable, but I don’t think I have that ‘faith’ anymore which is the basis of being a Muslim. I took a mythology class last semester and because of my limited knowledge of Islam, and how everyone in that class thought of an organized religion to be a myth, has me thinking whether this religion I grew up with is even necessary to follow.

I don’t remember the last time I prayed or the last time I said my kalimah. I have so much going on right now and spending an entire year praying with all my heart to get rid of a problem, everything is still the same. How do I know if God exists? Or if this religion I follow, with very strict ruling is going to get me anywhere?

I know I need to do my own research and find my own answers but in the process of doing so, is it okay to be confused? Is it fine to have doubts when you want to pray for something? Is it fine to question things? And what if I die in the process of finding the ‘truth’…am I going to end up in hell?

I won’t go in details. I’ll try to answer u with very simple example. When u born, have u seen the lady who gave u birth is the same lady whom u call Mother since ur birth till the day now? U didn’t seen by urself. U just believed. This is how u hav the believe the existance of the God.

Somewhere in a book i read (i guess book name is Hayat-e-Sahaba) one Sahabi, when he was in with the company of Prophet Muhammad His heart was very soft than ever and he can imagine the heaven and hell (as per discussion). When that Sahabi reached home, he got busy with his wife and children all the imagination of heaven and hell was gone out of his heart. Suddenly he rememberd when he was in accompany, his situation was like that now it is totaly different.

He went to see Prophet Muhammad . on the way he was saying to himself “Oh Sahabi! u r munafiq”, he meet another Sahabi on his way 2 there. They both had the same conditions and descibed the whole sitution. Our Prophet Muhammad explained by saying that Almighty Allah SWT! Have made ur feelings in such a way that u can have this life (in world) but by following the Islamic codes etc.,

So i guess this is the right time 4 u to dig answers of ur questions by reading studying more n more about Islam. every thing will gonna f9.

P.S. Plz! correct me as i think i don’t remember the exact senario. Thank you
