My dad always told me that without the basic knowledge of the religion, one may not be able to distinguish the ‘right’ from the ‘wrong’ and thus leads to, well, losing one’s way.
It can be hard to communicate this to others but dad’s right. With media, not everything can be believed and without your own set of principles, or adequate knowledge, one may not be able to withstand the weight of information that has been brought upon.

Would you have believed it if you didn’t have a clear understanding of Islam? Most probably. And this is just an example.
This is righteous, posting religion here, but sometimes, I just need to get a message across, and conversations are the last platform I’d resort to.
