I am Proud to be A Muslim

Islam is a true religion of Allah Subhanallahu Wataala. It is one of the major religions in the world. This beautiful religion is spreading across the world really fast. Many people changed their religion to Islam because they learned good things when studying Islam.

Islam means purity, obedience or peace. There is a true meaning behind these words. We, Muslims back then didn’t like wars. They prefer peace and stability to the world. They do not threaten anyone to go to Islam. They are just waiting for people to change their religion to Islam and learn beautiful things about our religion. Even though we are just getting one people to Islam, It still means that there will be more and more hope for people to believe our religion.

Islam teaches us the way of everybody’s life. It teaches us rules of behaving, such as the way of eating, talking, sleeping and other things. It also teaches us about respecting others especially respecting who is older than you. Islam is fair. For example, we are still giving charity to those who need it even though they are not Muslims. Allah Subhanallahu Wataala treats Muslims equally whether they are Asians, Americans, Australians, or Black people. Those things are all in the Holy Quran. It is the way of life and guides us to heaven/Jannah. We should be proud because we know that we are doing the right things.

My other reason that I am proud to be a Muslim is that there are miraculous incidents about Islam. I had seen it many times on the news, and I also had seen it before my very eyes. When my sister’s school had been burned, all the buildings got burned. But the mosque between the buildings did not get burned. The other one is when the tsunami came to Indonesia in 2004. The houses there were all broken but the Mosque did not get destroyed by the waves. The point is that Allah protects all that is involved to Islam for the Muslims.

The most important reason to be proud is Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam. He is the best prophet and the best man in the world. No one had ever matched his qualities. He was the best ruler of all human beings. He taught people good things which are called “sunnah”. Sunnah is what Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam said, did, and taught us back then. We Muslims respected him because he made good points.For example, He told us not to eat pigs (bacon, ham, pork) because it is not just a dirty animal. Other people still eat pigs because they don’t care whether it is a dirty animal or not. But there is actually another secret behind it. Pigs cause disease. Prophet teaches us things, some people don’t really care, but if you think carefully why he was doing it like that; there were actually a good way for us when doing things. That is my important reason why I am proud to be a Muslim. Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam teaches us the best way of doing things.

We, Muslims, should be proud of our religion. It guides us to heaven and told us about the way of life through the Holy Quran. Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam also taught us about what he did and how we should do things. This is a beautiful religion. It is also perfect! We have to be absolutely sure that Islam is the only true religion. Be proud with our faith!
