Mormonism per Request from AhmadJoyia

   Sorry, I've been gone so long.  I changed jobs, and life has been CRAZY ever since.  I popped on quickly to check on things.  
Herjihad.  I'm sorry if that sounded demeaning in any way.  The Go Figures was a statement of like minds.  Not a diminishing of any Muslimah's testimony of Islam.
In fact, I have more respect for a faithful Muslimah, than a Mormon woman who is only still a member because of society and not because of her own faith.  
I believe one should follow their faith and constantly seek the truth.  Religion is not a club, it is so much more and so much depends on it.  
One should be valiant in their faith, no matter what they believe, for if they are not valiant, then they do not truly believe.  
I pray God watches over your family and stays with you Herjihad.  I do not believe he turns away from good and faithful women.  We are not judges and only his judgement counts.
Angela

	Bismillah, Thank you Angela. Same to you. We'll pray for you about the infertility also. If I knew how much childbearing and birth can hurt... I've been thinking about religion not being a club. This is a complicated subject. Sometimes it seems like people want to make it a club that if you don't follow exactly their point of view, you are excluded. It's that club membership rules idea thing. Faith is the basis of my religion. So I ignore people who tell me that I will be in hell for this or that. Faith just means that I believe in Allah, SWT, first, as opposed to being an atheist. Then it means for me believing in the prophethood of Muhammad, pbuh, (which includes the prophets of the Bible.) And at least I have faith and struggle in my jihad (Child rearing.) I'm not always valiant, but I still believe and have faith. Valiance is such a noble thing. Because I am a human with so many flaws, I concentrate on what my priorities are (kids), and becoming and staying healthy for them as long as Allah, SWT, wills. In Shah Allah, we will all be bravest when it is most necessary for us.
	Al-Hamdulillah (From a Married Muslimah) La Howla Wa La Quwata Illa BiLLah - There is no Effort or Power except with Allah's Will.

	Valiance is expressed in different ways. It is the most difficult time in many ways to be Muslim in America. The Mormons faced many persecutions and executions in their early history, and they are stronger for it. Sometimes Valiance, is simple teaching the next generation and doing your duties to God. Thankfully, not all of us are required to be martyrs. And thank you for the prayers, I appreciate them very much. Angie
