I guess I have always had a hunger for knowledge. I like to learn new things and new skills very often. I have learned a lot from many people in this forum. There are many people in this forum that or more knowledgable than me on different topics. The more knowledge I get, the more I realize how little I know about life. What I believe today, might be discarded tomorrow. My advice to you is the following Seek knowledge. You should develop a hunger for knowledge. And learn as much as you can about Islam. If you start to get knowledge in an early age, you will have lots of knowledge when you are in your twenties. And perhaps you already have lots of knowledge. Because you seem like a smart person and you seem to have spiritual awareness.

what about China? it has one of the largest Muslim populations of the world and the deputy premier (3rd most powerful man) is an Hui (Muslim)
its simply that the state is like Turkey a secular one and people can't have open religious affiliations; and coming from a Chinese Islam is far from persecuted in China -

Salaam hanifa47,
mm khan Peace upon you and your logical brain! thank you! thanks also to david k, and everyone else! i am going to print all your responses! talk about an education! and yes, it sure was a baseless assumption on my part (to whoever wrote that), and a stupid one as well (rookie believer) to assume just because middle east is islamist, that they are all truly faithful....duuuuh....my mistake!
how could i ever leave God? never-keeping my head up! i plead temporary, momentary insanity from tv news....sorry.... elektro
going to read suggested books and Qur'an right now! I'm reading Yuksel and co. Reformist translation right now-went thru traditional translations (ali, pickthall) already. Peace to all of you!
You are welcome.
Never ever leave Allah and His book, just keep hold tightly the Book of Allah, and seek help from Allah for even a tiny thing, He is the all Knower, most Knowledgeable, all Listener, best Helper, etc. etc..
May Allah guide us all to His path pr

1276
1276 So he began with their bags before the bag of his brother. Then he brought it out of the bag of his brother. It was such that We planned for Yousuf, for he would not have been able to take his brother under the system of the king, except that Allah wished it so. We raise the degrees of whom We please, over every knowledgeable person is one more knowing..
You are also in the list, inshaAllah.
May Allah guide us all to His path pr

ALLAH is independent of all those who claim to believe in him.
Belief is a state, not a label. People are led to believe that as long as they say they follow this thing called "Islam" with a capital I, that they're going to enter heaven.
These are the same people that believe that if you say certain things 33 or 32 times (depending on the hadith) that you'll get a free ticket to paradise. Ah, if only it were that easy.
Your faith will wax and wane but remember this - the fact that YOU exist and that you are inseparable from this thing called "ALLAH" means that ALLAH exists, whether in our imaginations or in reality.
In THE objective reality, there is ALLAH and he is lord of all things. In your imagination, for all we know, ALLAH could be some guy with a really long beard that says he'll strike you with his vengeful wrath. Don't trust your imagination all the time, trust the signs of the objective reality to guide you. If you are meant to believe then you will believe through hell or high water, even if you hang onto your belief by a thread of consciousness.
