Why Bother, If Islam Stops Me Doing Things I Love?

11 July, 2024
Q As-salumu Alaykum, hope you are doing alright. I am here mainly for one simple thing, which the question title shows. For context, I have left and joined Islam 2 times in the span of 2 months and now I am studying Christianity. However, I can't ignore the budget again but I am scared. How do I know what religion is the truth for me? Cause whenever I was just about to leave Islam for both times, I kept getting these thoughts that I need to leave, and why should I even bother with Islam if it’s stopping me doing the things I love, but when I leave, I want to go back, and here I am now. I can’t say I ever fully left the Islamic thought process fully, but sometimes I wish I did. Why can't I just pick a side? Sincerely,

Do you feel that Islam stops you from doing things you love?

First, make a list of what these things are. Write them down, along with their benefits and negative consequences. 

If you check your list, you may realize that the things Islam prohibits are the ones that are potentially harmful to you on multiple levels.

There is wisdom behind these prohibitions. They are meant to protect your physical, psychological, and spiritual health and that of others. 

Staying on the right path and believing in Allah and his Oneness is one of the best things to pray for.
