Strengthen our faith 

  Islam is the right religion that Allah (God) wants us to follow. Since Islam is the only religion that Allah accepts, we need to stick to it and do our best to please Allah, and If we do well in this life, Allah will give us what He promised. We Muslims should always learn and develop ourselves in this religion and build confidence and a strong belief that can protect us from being affected by negative thoughts in this world. 

           Allah has facilitated the religion to everyone, especially in the present time where it’s so easy to reach Islamic content due to the internet. You can find so many beneficial things on Youtube, like studying Islamic creed or any subject. The internet is so rich in Islamic content, but it’s so sad that we see Muslim youth that are not interested in learning anything about their religion, which is the most essential thing in this life, our life depends on it. We know that eating a dangerous kind of drug will destroy and ruin our lives forever, so we fear that and stop eating it. What about our Islam? if we don’t protect it -by learning the right teaching of Islam- we will be so easy to get affected by negative thoughts that stand against Islam. Learning religion is not rocket science, it's so easy to learn it and develop yourself in it. As I mentioned, we are the ones who will benefit from doing that. 

        We should build strong immunity against negative beliefs and ways of thinking that are surrounding us today. The Internet made everything reachable to people, they can access anything that they want, bad or good. Movies and music have a significant factor in the spread of negative ways of thinking, especially movies and Tv series, they show their beliefs in these programs in an attractive way that can convince the audience, and make them see through the eye of the producer of the film. Movies can also weaken points of view of something, and make it funny or stupid. The harm that movies do to people, especially the youth is so dangerous. It’s far more dangerous to those who have weak Islamic knowledge: Quran, Hadith, and general Islamic knowledge, they are so easy to get affected. It doesn’t mean that average Muslims shouldn’t work on their religion by reading about it or doing anything that increases their knowledge and strengthens their heart belief. We are human beings and we are not protected from being affected. Our prophet Muhammad (PBUH) frequently asks Allah to keep his heart firm in the religion. Some people may say: If your faith is so easily affected, then it is a weak belief. There is no doubt being around negative ideas and people may affect you, or end up being like them, so it’s not about being weak or something but logic dictates that.  

        In conclusion, We should always care about our beliefs and ask Allah to make our hearts steadfast. Islam is the most valuable thing to us, even our lives, so we should always keep it from harm. Learning becomes so easy with the internet, Islamic knowledge is at your fingertips.
