Islam is my friend

Fahaad Naveed (14), little cousin of Azeem Mirza, writing from the US.

Islam defined as a religion. I believe that a Muslim should define Islam as a friend. I as a Muslim have always believed that Islam should be treated as a friend. Treat it as one's own parent, that meaning respect Islam as you would respect your own parent. Islam is a religion that should not be ridiculed in front of other Muslims that would be the same as disrespecting the Quran and the same as your parents. I believe that Islam should be on the top of the list in life. For me, reading the Quran is like reading an interesting novel which you can't keep your eyes off. My knowledge of Islam is not too far in deep. We Muslims should encourage Islam around the world not just in our country. I will pray for the world to remain in peace through the ages.

Next, I would like to talk about the so called "Shaykh's". From personal experience,  I can say that those Shaykh's that pretend to be masters in Islam are just insulting Islam in many ways. Islam is like a mirror. The Shaykh represent paint when the Shaykh's trick there way into a Mosque. It is like throwing paint on the mirror which cannot be erased. So I call to all Muslims to stop the tanishing of Islam.

That is all I would like to talk about today. Thank you for the opportunity of writing this article. I am a guest-writer for MuslimsInEngland.com and I hope you've enjoyed this article and I hope to write in the future. Please comment to let me know if you like this article. Bless you all.
