Do you know what is islam?

This is a reminder to myself also.

People always take religion as a spiritual enrichment and when they are doing a normal daily life, they indeed dont follow the guidelines set in their book of intruction ie. Quran, Injil and torah.

i've been mingled with non-muslims since i arrived in brisbane. I've friends who is a christian youth minister, a devoted hindu and atheist. as far as i can remember there is no question about religion raised by them relating to their religion. As in my case,as a muslim i cannot separate my life with myreligion. A simple example is my appearance. I've a beard!!! so they started asking me why i'm having a beard. is it just a fashion?

"You should have a shave mate" John once suggested to me.

what should i answer then. In fact, i will answer the question from the islamic perspective. to make my argument more concrete i quote the bible if the questioner is a christian.

Even in case of appearance itself one muslim cannot separate himself from the religion (Islam, let alone to separate a larger worldly matter from Islam).

Quran is the manual and all the answers lies in it. Sunnah is the implementation of the manual (an explanation). From the quran and sunnah we know how we going to lead our life, how to know a girl that we intended to marry, how we deal with financial transaction and many more.

The day ones separates himself from Islam, on that day also he will diverted from the truth. The Messenger is one and through him the message came (islam). why then seek to assimilate islam with other culture? is islam is not enough. or indeed you are the one who doesnt know what islam is?

Try to ask a muslim " do you know what is islam?"

How many muslim can explain what islam is? how many muslim can pinpoint the evidence to the non muslim on what we are believing?

WHAT'S YOUR EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT WHAT YOU ARE BELIEVING IN (ISLAM)???

ARE YOU REALLY A MUSLIM

if you dont know, start now... nothing is too late until it's really a too late (Yakiin)
