Eye opening/ mind opening :)

Tonight was a great night. A true eye opener towards the beliefs on different people. I went out with a friend to a gathering of Christians and it truly made me understand their way of thinking and made me more aware of their religion.

 I believe that every Muslim must know what the religions are all about. Tonight, I learned that Christianity is built on unconditional love towards each other. By attending this gathering and meeting all these different people I have come to realize that I have so much that I need to learn about Islam as well as other religions. I think it is a very important part of our life since we need to understand one another and co-exist without having to go through fights and end up misunderstanding one another. Besides, learning more about other religions has made me more confident in my belief in Islam. 

I have a good friend of mine, a good practicing Christian, who is curious about Islam and he had some questions about Islam and that was the moment that I knew that I have to learn more about my religion. Sure, I do know the basics of being a Muslim and the great history that it has but with his questions I now know that I need to be able to answer him without any hesitation and with straight forward answers. I believe in Allah and I am sure this is His way of letting me know that I still have a long way to go and learning more about Islam will greatly benefit me and all the others around me. I am so thankful for having been brought up by good practicing Muslim parents and being surrounded by friends who have a vast knowledge about our religion. 

I have made it my goal to at least learn one new thing about Islam each day and to make sure that I remember it. I am sure that this will help me greatly to stay on the right track and it will help me make the right decisions. Insha Allah I will remain on this road and Allah will help me guide me and my friends to the right path.

Tonight truly was one of the greatest experiences that I have had the opportunity of having. I made a whole  bunch of new friends from different countries, race, backgrounds, religion and beliefs. Yet, we were able to communicate in a friendly, loving way and through out all the differences we came through and ended up creating this wonderful memory together. This really is a chapter in my life that I will not forget and I thank Allah for not steering me away and my friend for inviting me over to this wonderful gathering. I hope that in the future, I get to attend one of these events and that Insha Allah I get to answer all my friends' questions honestly and truthfully!! :D
