The Middle Way

I guess everybody needs to talk nowadays...Everybody is a writer, the writer of their lifes. Who can blame them? In a world as big as ours, virtual socializing seems a logic step. Well this blog is not here to write the story of my life (that would bore anybody anyways) , nor to satisfy some narcisistic need that I might have. It's just the product of frustration. I`m saying that with no drama included.

I would like it to be a common place for revert muslims like me who don't know quite exactly what is wrong with some ( the majority) of their brothers and sisters.
Islaam is perfect but muslims are not. This can be confusing for new muslims and really though to find out a path to follow. So many groups, sects, whatever they call themselves, so many cultures , so many traditions, so many belief systems...How do you chose what's best for you?

I have so many things to learn , so many things to unlearn, but I do know that my efforts should go towards finding that Middle Path- that One Correct Path. And By God it isn't easy.
What do you do when scholars tell you to be strict in some matters and then muslims that live around you tell you blatantly to "ignore him, that's extreme". I mean they have been muslims all their lifes, they should know better than you , shouldn't they?
It makes me sad to see so many sisters and brother that don't really care to KNOW. Don't care to FIND OUT. They would have a discussion based on nothing but their desire. And you try to tell them 'but my sister, the majority of the scholars have agreed on such and such and look at the evidences, they really make sense" and they wouldn't even care to check your references.They have pre-prepared answers to everything : " The religion is easy, don't make your life hard" , "God is forgiving" ,"I am not perfect nor would I ever be", "Like this you will live your life alone without friends" etc.

What about our duty of gaining knowledge? Are we really so busy or are we hypnotized? Led to believe that our time on this earth is either to gain wealth , or to waste it only on enoyment.The reality is so far from our grasp .I feel I need to call on my brothers and sisters, to try to fulfill my duty onto them.I am not a good talker, nor do I go to gatherings. I find it difficult even to call my own christian family to islaam. This is an effort , a convenient method to speak up. Insha Allah I will find other people who feel the same way as I do and then we could share our thoughts, give eachother a feeling of belonging , a feeling of  broherhood.

It is a shame how the enemies of islaam keep trying to attack our pride and diminish it and even a greater shame how  a lot of muslims have fallen victims to this trend. The fake glamour of the western "civilised" world has made many muslims look up to promiscuos , deceiving people instead of the best of the humans our Prophet (sallalahu aleihi wa salam).They make us judge by their standards , while our religion is perfect. They make us feel inferior, while we are clearly superior by the promise of Allah.
