Islam is my religion. I really appreciate because I was born as a Muslim. In my life, before I death, I really want to be the best Muslim. Insha’Allah. As a Muslim I must to follow the rule and principle that have been stated in al-Quran and as-Sunnah to become true Muslim. Islam is the best religion in the world because it is a comprehensive religion.
The first thing that I must do to be the best Muslim is belief the articles of faith and also pillars of Islam. The pillars of Islam are witnessing (Shahadah), prayer, obligatory charity, fasting, and pilgrimage. The witnessing (shahadah) means I must belief that Allah is the One and Muhammad is His Messenger.
Islam is a way of life, if we practise it, we can feel peaceful and always feel humbleness in front of the Almighty and also our Creator. Pray is the one of the way to thank to Allah. It is compulsory to do five daily pray in daily basis. When I stand to praying, I try to imagine Allah in front me, heaven on the right and hell on the left. That way can make me forget whatever is going on in this temporary world. Add more, It also the way to communicate with Allah.
Beside that, Islam also practises obligatory charity (zakat). For me, Zakat does not only purify the property of the contributor but also purifies our heart from selfishness and greed. As a Muslim, it is compulsory to fasting in Ramadhan. As we know, fasting can make our digestion system feel better. So, it is the best practice that we have to practise. During the fasting, it makes me thinking about poor people that do not effort to buy the delicious food. It makes me realise that I have to be grateful with what I have today.
I am really proud with Islam because it is unique, universal and suitable to Human in this world. Honestly, one day, I really hope I have perfectly performed to Allah and be the best Muslim. Insha’Allah.
