Salam everyone ! My name is Mehdi, I'm from Algeria and I'm twenty years old. I am Muslim like the majority here.
The reason I joined this forum (Btw, I simply googled: Islam Forum) is because lately I noticed that many people I know, and that I knew had a pretty strong personality, started to act and say things that were kind of cynical and depressive.
The reason for that I believe is both all the suffering of life that they endure and the state of the world these days. (War, people suffering, inhuman acts..etc.)
I wish I could help them and persuade them, with carefully reasoned arguments, that there is a meaning for all of this. And I know there is, I just don't know how to express it yet.
Plus, there are some questions about Islam that I personally would like to have answers to. I don't necessarily want them to be given to me, I want to reach them on my own.
So, first, I will be doing a lot of reading in this forum, and then when I'm done with the first step, I'm going to be posting some questions; and finally I hope that after I acquire some perspective, I will be ready to face all of their worries if god wills.
Thank you for reading and peace be upon you all.
