    Questions about Islam (OP)


    So this is going to be my little thread about Islam.

    If you are not a new member you know I have been jumping in and out of religions.

    But now since people have told me come back and what not, I have decided to "consider it". So I am ok with becoming Muslim. But, I do not believe in everything within it. So can someone be Muslim but not believe in everything?

    Also what if I become Muslim but do not do the daily Fardh acts, Hajj and Ramadhan. What is my destiny?

    I don't remember. I just did it the first time I was six or something. I don't remember who told me about it. And I just thought I was going to hell. That's it.

    Praying in congregation makes a huge difference
    Big iman boost compared to praying alone

    You dont have to feel anything to perform it, like in your case, gradually, the seeds of imaan will grow again.

    I didn't feel at other points either. And as I said I don't probably believe in half of what is said during the salah.

    BTW why did Muhammed marry Aisha so young?

    Also why and how was the niqab invented.

    What are secular benefits of marrying.

    For eg, even if I dont feel anything, salah is still fard on me, I have to perform it, there's no exception.

    The blessed marriage of Hadhrat Aisha R.A and Rasulwas made by Allah Himself. He knew in His wisdom what we do not know.

    This marriage was to elevate the status of women worldwide. The hadith that Hadhrat Aisha R.A. narrated is countless, because she stayed with Rasul, only she relate it like no other. She had that high maturity which complemented her excellency. She became the Mother of the Believers on account of marrying Rasuland became among the most fortunate because of that.

    The original niqab is the drawing of the veil, as in the Qur'an it is mentioned that women should cover themselves fully, it is only later that the niqab of nowadays was invented, I dont know when though.

    Benefits of marrying is quite obvious. A person easily falls into sin of zina by not marrying.

    Salam my friend. You have questions and you think you dont have faith because of those unanswered question in your mind but trust me it is not case. Even if you are answered with all of those questions you will not believe if you dont want. Just go on to pray and we will see what will change with you.

    Well I asked for secular benefits of marrying. Also there's people who don't feel the need or see it as pointless. What if you can't find a spouse?
