True salvation is to attain peace and you will have it Allah willing by turning to ISLAM
that's interesting. I have a new respect for Islam (whether I join or not). I have some conflicting beliefs. I was born Christian and have become quite bitter the last few years. I witness evil people living life with no worries while nice persons suffer through their implied good deeds. The Moral compass has become ineffective and without consequence. I have not, however, stopped believing in a higher power, just stopped believing that good deeds lift you up and bad deeds bring you down. I believe in God, I believe we were created by him and he loves us unconditionally and i love him back, but I do strike out at him from time to time for reasons I can't explain. I feel lost, not from religion but life in general.

it seems like a whole lot of work. So many rules and regulations. I respect that you believe in something but it seems you have to give up your individualism for a belief. I don't believe that it matters how many times a day you pray nor what direction you face but rather when you do pray you mean what you pray for. (quality, not quantity). I do respect people that follow their believes to a "T" but that lifestyle would never be able to fit into what i do on a daily basis, i'm a busy person and perhaps this is for those that have more time.
I don't believe anyone on Earth knows the answer to those questions. If I could answer those questions my problems would be solved. The most we can do is guess.

You know an ordinary light bulb spreads its energy in different directions, it gives out light, but it’s weakened because its spread its wings everywhere. However the same energy when focused results in a Laser.

It is definitely better to be the slave of Allah than be the slave of material benefits or being busy with world life.
One gives you satisfaction the other makes you greedy, desperate , frutrated and stress and many more
Slave is a relative term, slave to me means no freedom, I want to believe because I want to. I still like my work, my friends, my music. It's what makes me, me. Everyone from time to time becomes unhappy with life. I'm pursuing a path of exploration. I want to see the liknesses and differences between religions. Believe me, to date this is the deepest i've ever explored Islam. If you knew me you'd know that this is a huge step for me.
I hope you are totally honest in your thoughts and you ponder about your existence and why should you obey God.
I am totaly honest, I pray everyday that god gives me just a hint to why I exist. As cheezy as that sounds I'd pray to be more accepting and knowledgeable about why i'm here. I have had a lot of hate in my life and have done some things i'm not proud of. Now all I want is knowledge.
