May Allah guide you to the right path.

I am Muslim and a conservative one, so my opinion maybe biased. However, I believe I am more open even in comparison to people who claim that noways.

I will start with how I think when it comes to faith and belief. I see people in three categories.

- People who believe bluntly and never ask questions.

- People who claim they don't believe and they think for themselves.

- People who believe and seek knowledge without breaking their belief.

The first has more damage to be honest. They believe in whatever without questioning, either out of fear or plain ignorance. These people follow whoever clicked with them on a certain point of their life either they were up or down hills. In Islam we have these people who goes to witches or worship tombs and stuff.

The second type or category think they are inventing stuff and they think for themselves and never follow others. However, when you see what they are saying, it's all about what their predecessors said and thought. If you follow the chain where those thoughts came from in the first place. I am talking here about the uncertainties about God and other core questions. It all came from Satan according to Islam and the Quran. These people chose to remove the spiritual world or the unseen and tried to convince themselves that everything is produced by them and their intellectual thinking. Which is very wrong to not say totally wrong. These people you can find them in all fields even the ones not related to religion.

The third category are the true believer I think. They believe and follow. However, they seek knowledge but stays adhere to their beliefs. When they find something fishy and proved to be fishy in real life they don't do it.

One thing about life and religion that separate these three from each other. The existing of God, After Life, Satan, Angels and the unseen world.

It's unseen with our eyes, but we come in contact with it everyday.

The first category, anything that seems superpower take them and let them in ow.

The second, they scratch all of it and remove it from the list. And in their contradiction they prove their point of view with the views and opinions for their predecessors.

Then the last category. I consider myself one of them. When it comes to something like God for example. We have books and scriptures that said there is God and he has ultimate power and he brought us to life and so on. Also, he is testing us in this life and we will return back to him where he judge us on what we did and how we acted. In the other hand there is people who say out of speculation and based on things they weren't able to prove. People form the second category denying the existing of God and anything related to the unseen world. As a sane person, I would rather play it safe and believe in what the scripture say. Even if I face nothing after I die then I lost nothing. Since I benefited from living believing on God's existence and being obedient to him. I was in peace. Of course, we are facing problems of all sorts since some people acts without any limitations but then, it's life. Even the other guy has it rough since it's life. Life will never be a peaceful like we are wishing it to be. According to my religion Islam, it's how it is in life. You will always struggle.

In the other hand, the second choice of not believing in God and the unseen. We die at last, the what?! If it's true nothing is there good for you again. Else, if there were those things, what can you do about it? In Islam, if you are one of these and you died on it. It's eternity living in hell. You will never get out for eternity, you won't die nothing you will live and keep on living there forever.

To be honest, I am not that brave to risk it all for this life knowing that there is a possibility something like that would happen after I die. I am not gambling on that ever.

It all boils down to knowledge without getting on your high horse. Remember that you are a human being with no power compared to this universe and you don't know endless of things of what's going on in it. So be modest and live your life betting on what's safer to you if something unexpected that you don't see unveil.

That's how I think people should approach these stuff. When it comes to me, I have firm believe in Allah and on what he said in the Quran and what his prophet Mohammed said.
