A 13 year old responds to: " What does Islam mean to you?"
This was received via a friend in UK who received it from friends in USA.

I want to share with you what a boy from grade 7 wrote when I gave my class a journal assignment on "What does Islam mean to you?"

(From just this one simple sentence, thousands of statements come to your mind. You don't know where to start...
I feel that Allah has created every person equally with an open mind. Think of it this way; we were all brought to this earth as a piece of clay. There were two kinds of clay: the hard kind and the soft kind. Islam molds us all. Some are easier to shape than others depending on the softness. Those who are not willing to be molded are destined for the furnace. The better you are molded, the better you'll turn out. Rasulullah (Salallahu alaihi wassalam) was molded perfectly and he was the best kind of clay.
Islam is the path of Truth. Here is another way to put it: Doing haram is sickness, Islam is the medicine and paradise is the cure. Once you are cured you are guaranteed health and you'll never get any more sicknesses... Islam is like a tree.
Everybody starts as a bud and they gradually grow into bigger and
redder apple. The more you please Allah, the bigger and the better you get. If you fall off the tree branch you start to shrink and rot.
Sort of like falling onto the wrong path instead of the right one.)


Masha'Allah, what an understanding! All this from a 13yrs old boy! May Allah(subhanahu wata'ala) increase him in knowledge, and give us all the wisdom to understand and follow our Deen and continue to shower us with more of His Mercy and blessings. Ameen!

"He grant wisdom to whom He will;and whoever is
granted wisdom, he indeed is given a great good..." (2:269)

Answer 3

I don't believe that Islam is a violent religion, but I do believe that Islam generates a lot of murderers and savages, and it's extremely difficult to tolerate the religion itself when I see people who don't come out in force against the crimes committed against mankind by its believers.

Answer 4

When i was born , i was boran as a muslim , then when i grew up
i said to myself " why am i a muslim",, i've started reading about islam and other religions such as christianity and judaism , i've met priests from all these 3 religions & i found that Islam is the only religion that respects the human Mind & human being,
Islam Taught me to respect my mind as islam will never ask you to believe or do anything that contradicts with the good logic .

to make long story short ,, to me islam means :

1- to be honest
2- to be merciful
3- to be compassionate
4- to be good with people from all races and beliefs
5- to be generous .
6- to be helpful
7- to Think
8- to work hard
9- to love people
10- to discover
11 - to be a resilient and fighter
12 - to learn
13- to do the right things
14 - to respect others .
15 - to follow the good nature inside me .
16 - to be everything good

to make it short "TO BE HUMAN" .

Islam is the religion of good nature inside mankind .

Answer 5

Islam is a pure religion, a relgion that teaches respect & tolerance. A religion that provides answers to all the problems in the world. A religion that anyone should be proud to be associated with.

( all muslims should not be blamed or judged by the action of one group)

Answer 6

When I was VERY young, Australian schools had "religious education". I remember asking the Nun who taught us, "When do we get to hear about religions other than Christianity?"

I'm still waiting for an answer. I KNOW where my ignorance comes from, do YOU..?

"I can kill Rushdie, This I Know
He's An Infidel, This I Know
I can kill Rushdie, This I Know
Ayatollah Told Me So"

Answer 7

Dear Asker,
