Religiously Conscious
As Salaam Alaikum,
Well since about March/April I have come into my own personal religious revival. This religious revival began with me reading about Salat (prayer) and then quickly progressing in my performance. At first I did two prayers a day (starting from going months without even making prayer), but in a matter of maybe a month I progressed into all 5 prayers. In about May I was consistent in all of my prayers, and Alhumdulilah I have practicing all 5 prayers that are of obligation to me ever since.
See I have never considered myself religious, I still do not. But I do consider myself to be religiously conscious. What is religiously conscious? Well that is just having God and religion on my mind. Wondering what would please God, thinking of what he has told me to do, and what possibly violates my religion (Islam).
I think about God everyday and most likely every hour. Actually I probably think of God as much as men think of sex… well maybe not that much, but hey that is just how important God is to me, how important my religion is to myself.
Look at me! I am so excited about getting my driver’s license. Not only because I will be able to drive to school and to the mall… but because I can go to Jummah (which is like Church) on Friday. I think that I am going to go maybe every other week, because it’s during school. I don’t want to miss every Friday in World Lit. But seriously, I am really excited about this. I want to be more involved in my community… though I am unsure of where they are (we have Muslims in my city, but I’m unsure of where the mosque are. I think in my profile it says I live in Atlanta, not exactly, so it’s not as obvious as it would be in Atlanta. Lol)
Anyways I am so happy that I have become a better person and I am practicing charity and prayer. I am really looking forward to Ramadan also. It will be fun.
salaam
