Ever wondered what's the most important things in life? Family, friends, love, religion, dreams, money or other things?
My boyfriend and I were on the verge of ending our relationship due to religion issues. But I thought why not allow myself to understand more about Islam before I finally come to a conclusion without any regret.
I am still not confident of exploring Islam with a fully open mind but I am willing to give it a try and has already started on some readings. This exploration has led me to think about this - What is most important in my life?
I have never really believed in a particular religion before. I am a buddhist by birth but I would not say that I follow all the practices. I feel that my thinking is more towards Christianity. However, I don't feel that I am a Christian. Sometimes, I feel like I am just one of a kind that takes the best practices of all religions. Then I asked myself, is this good enough for me. I am honestly not sure.
If "religion" hasn't exactly been the driving factor (or maybe it is), what has been my driving factor in life? What has brought me through all the difficult times? Who has given me that faith to keep myself going?
Sometimes, I will pray to Buddha to keep my family and I safe. On other occasions, I will ask this "God" to give me answer. I have never who this "God" is. Emm..
Maybe, this "God" was created due to influence from friends. I think that I am pretty exposed to Christianity, given that many of my good friends are Christians.
If I am exposed enough to Islam, will I become a Muslim? Or any other religion?
What is exactly my religion? What do I actually believe in? Or does it really matter to begin with?
