Hm... well... considering I adhere to no belief system, I guess this question doesn't apply to me.
As for atheism (absence of belief), it's justified in that gods have not been conclusively proven to exist. Skepticism is the accepted default philosophical stance, so I'd say I'm on pretty solid ground here.

First of all, I have learned that I don't have to justify my beliefs. They are what they are and I'm comfortable, comforted and happy with the beliefs I have formed from experience and study. I will not defend my beliefs to any person because they have nothing to do with any person other than me.
I've done the mainstream religion thing and finally reached the conclusion that no other human has the right to try to tell me what God wants for or from me. I have my own relationship with God based on my own life and who I am.

I don't! My beliefs are based on my study or interpretation of what I choose to believe! And how I experience the world and my environment and interactions! No matter how much anyone tries to justify their beliefs - there is always an opposing opinion that's a pretty good arguements to believe otherwise!

I don't understand the question. Justify it to whom? And for what? "Justify" implies that your religion has done something wrong. Wiccans have never committed mass murders or any other atrocities that I'm aware of. And no, sick teenagers killing a cat and leaving a pentagram and candles on the ground beside it are not Wiccans.

Justify it???? Well when all is said and done, I believe what I do because I chose to. If I'm right, I'm right, if not, then I'm wrong. My beliefs make sense to me, they may not make sense to another person. What I find as evidence another may find as nonsense. Religion is merely, for lack of a better word, an educated guess determined by our logic and sense of reason.

I justify any belief I have by looking at the evidence I have for believing in it, and using reason and logic to see if that evidence is good enough for me to keep on believing it.

I don't feel the need to justify my belief system. But then again, I also don't feel the need to convert anyone either. I'd rather live and let live.

I justify my right to believe in my belief.
I do not need to justify my belief system.
Deism is not a system.

Why do I have to justify it?
It's mine and nobody else's......
I don't ask anyone else to justify theirs, and it might be nice if we all learned to accept everyone else's beliefs without question also.
Maybe we could finally enjoy a little 'peace and happiness' for once.

The word "Islam" means peace and submission to the Will of the only God worthy of being worshipped. This peace is contentment with yourself and your surroundings that could only be achieved by willfully submitting to God, obeying what He commands and abstaining from what He forbids.
Allah is the name in Arabic for the "One God". Allah is the Creator, Sustainer, Planner and Organizer. He is the only deity that has the right to be worshipped (i.e. praying, supplicating, fasting, etc.). In Islam, the belief in the One God cannot be separated from the acts of worshipping the One God. In other words, it is not enough to simply think you believe in the Oneness of the Creator but that belief must be affirmed by your statement and actions. Example, it would negate ones belief in the Oneness of the Creator if he directs his worship to a man (or any of the other created things).
Prophet is a person who is appointed by God to call the people to the worship and believe in the One God. All Prophets were given miracles by Allah to prove that they were Prophets. For example, Moses was given the miracles to free the Children of Israel, Jesus was given the ability to heal the sick and raise the dead by Allah's’ leave and Muhammad was given the Qur’an which is the everlasting and literal speech of Allah. May Allah send His peace and blessings on all the Prophets. Ameen!
The Qur’an is the Last Revelation from your Lord. It was revealed in the pure Arabic language to the Prophet Muhammad and has been kept preserved and unchanged, in its original form. The English interpretation of the Qur’an will be used as reference in this brochure. It is not Allah's' Word rather, it is a general interpretation of the meaning of the Qur’an. The Qur’an confirms the truth in the Torah, Psalms and the Gospel.
