  "I Believe in God, But Do I Have to Follow All These Rules?" Okay, let’s get real for a second. In today’s world, it’s common to hear things like: "Yeah, I believe in God. Of course, He exists. But do I really need to follow a bunch of rules? Do I have to pray five times a day and avoid certain things? God knows I believe in Him. Isn’t that enough?" Well... no, it’s not. Believing in Allah isn’t just about a vibe or some mental acknowledgment like, “Yeah, God made the universe, cool.” It’s like signing up for a gym membership and never showing up—what’s the point? Faith without action is like Wi-Fi with no internet connection: utterly useless. Allah ko maante ho, lekin Allah ki bhi maano (You say you believe in Allah, but do you follow Him?) Here’s the thing: If you say you believe in Allah but don’t follow His commands, it’s like telling your parents you love them while ignoring everything they ever told you. Sure, words are easy, but actions? Not so much. Islam ...

From Rebellion to Reflection: A Confused Start I didn’t walk into Islam just because I was born into a Muslim family. That would be too easy, and if I’m being honest, I wasn't one to follow things blindly. I was a rebellious kid—my mom’s words often went in one ear and out the other.

Or is this just something people made up to give meaning to their lives? The Search for Answers: Accident or Creation? Being someone who enjoys research and logical thinking, I knew that I couldn’t settle for vague answers. If G...

  Look around. The world today is like a chaotic circus where people wear destruction as a badge of honor. Everyone’s obsessed with looking “cool,” but being cool these days just means getting wasted, dating like it’s a sport, and treating people like trash  and banging heads to loud music like a bunch of lunatics. (Seriously, who came up with that? How did “I’m gonna shake my brain cells loose” become the vibe?) . Oh, and if you can slide into someone's DMs with the smoothness of a wannabe Casanova? You’re practically a legend... except, spoiler alert: you’re not.  On one side, we've got girls stripping down for the 'gram, doing "Get Ready With Me" videos like the world needs to know which lipstick they're wearing to impress some guy who doesn't even text back. And on the other? Boys, out here bragging about body counts like they're collecting Pokémon. Seriously, calling yourself a stud because you've been with a lot of women? Nah, bro--you're...
