I personally thought I would loose any chance of getting the girl that I loved at the time. She was very religious and I ADORED her. I thought if I didnt become religious I would lose her foreva. I started practicing Islam, then realized that you either have to be radical in Islam or forget it. I chose first. 6 years later changed my mind as I found that many unanswered questions still existed in my mind....

I would put the question the other way: What stops you becoming relegious?

So you had nevere become religious, because you "practiced" Islam just to keep you girlfriend. (Btw what did you do, just prayed 5 times a day?). You prayed not for God but for your girlfriend. I hope you don't keep any more relationship with that religious girl. I know such people who become "religious" just to marry somebody. As russians say "результат на лицо". One day you see him on the mosque, the next day you see him coming from pub.
About being radical in Islam. There is no such understanding "radical" or "moderate" in Islam. You either practice Islam either seek excuses for not doing it. That's it, very simply. God does not ask anybody what he can't do. God says(meanning) :"We don't burden anybody".
The reason for having some unanswered questions is that you belief was wrong from beginning. You started practicing Islam not in belief "There is one God whom I have to pray" but in belief "There is one girl whom I should not lose". It is like you went to Antarktida to see African savannas. You will never find it unless you don't choose correct starting point for your search (if you are indeed searching something, otherwise you will never find anything, just waste of time).

Religious in what way? By just having faith in God or practicing a religion?

Maroon, as lavelaso might have (?) told you, he received his warning for the profane language he used, which I have not noticed being employed by "my brother", as you put it, Black. I have such a feeling that you haven't had a chance to see what lavelaso said here, so could you pls be cautious when giving advises? And he received his warning NOT because he was rude towards "my brother", but towards everyone here. Ask lavelaso whether he was addressing everyone, or not? In his deleted post he WAS talking to everyone. So could you pls be cautious when giving advises?

Objective in sticking to rules, or in following emotions?

p/s I haven't received any complaint from lavelaso neither thru PM nor email... he might not have seen this yet himself too... just like you haven't (?) seen his post... or he understands the reason for the warning

peace, sis

i dont really care, 3 points mean nothing. I really think i got this warning cause of my critisizm in address such people, and its true. I dont care if my emotions overhelmed my control in this case , i dont care. So far im telling what i feel.
Forum is rottening inside, i care. I wont complain for unreal warnings. And
smile at shadow conspiracies.

Stan,

you of course, meant, DECISIVE, i.e. CRUCIAL, turning point.
DECEIVE is completely wrong word in your question. I recommend you and everyone www.dictionary.com (http://www.dictionary.com) when not sure in spelling of a word, because SPELL CHECK won't notice such mistakes.

I think, when I doubted existence of ALLAH, HE either himself or through Angels, made a contact...came to me...I felt the divine...

Next Messiah?

[chicagoan]

Next Messiah?

Misunderstanding.

It is hard to explain.

I don't claim sainthood, but saying that ALLAH showed a miracle for me that shook off all my doubts. I said, FELT, not spoken, seen, etc.

OK. I was asleep. In the middle of night, woke up. Felt presence of something...Very bright. Could not dare to open my eyes, tongue would not turn, my body froze in fear, and was quivering...and I was told (through some waves directly to my brain) "Do you need any more proof? Open your eyes." But I did not dare. It was enough for me believe in the Unseen.

Qanaqa Messiah?

That's all.

According to research by David B. Larson, of the American National Health Research Center, and his team, comparisons of devout and non-religious Americans have given very surprising results. For instance, religious people suffer 60% less heart disease than those with little or no religious belief, the suicide rate among them is 100% lower, they suffer far lower levels of high blood pressure, and this ratio is 7:1 among smokers.

It was reported in one study published in the International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine, an important scientific source in the world of medicine, that people who describe themselves as having no religious beliefs become ill more frequently and have shorter life spans. According to the results of the research, those with no beliefs are twice as likely to suffer stomach-intestine diseases than believers, and their mortality rate from respiratory diseases is 66% times higher than that of believers.

Secular psychologists tend to refer to similar figures as “psychological effects.” This means that belief raises peoples’ spirits, and this contributes to health. This explanation may indeed be reasonable, but a more striking conclusion emerges when the subject is examined. Belief in Allah is much stronger than any other psychological influence. The wide-ranging research into the connection between religious belief and physical health carried out by Dr. Herbert Benson of the Harvard Medical Faculty has produced surprising conclusions in this area. Despite not being a believer himself, Dr. Benson has concluded that worship and belief in Allah have a more positive effect on human health than that observed in anything else. Benson states that he has concluded that no belief provides as much mental peace as belief in Allah.

What is the reason for this connection between belief and the human soul and body? The conclusion reached by the secular researcher Benson is, in his own words, that the human body and mind are regulated to believe in Allah.

This fact, which the world of medicine has slowly begun to appreciate, is a secret revealed in the Qur’an in these words: “… Only in the remembrance of Allah can the heart find peace.” (Qur’an, 13:28) The reason why those who believe in Allah, who pray to and trust in Him, are psychologically and physically healthier is that they behave in accordance with the purpose of their creation. Philosophies and systems which contradict human creation always lead to pain and unhappiness.

Modern medicine is now tending towards the realization of this truth. As Patrick Glynn put it: “Scientific research in psychology over the past twenty-five years has demonstrated that,… religious belief is one of the most consistent correlates of overall mental health and happiness.”
