You Are Entitled to Believe What You Want to Believe
Belief is personal.
It’s shaped by experiences, thoughts, and choices.
I can’t force you to believe me, nor do I have any desire to do so.
What I share with you is simply my truth—what I’ve come to understand as right.
It’s not about convincing you or making you submit to my perspective.
1. Sharing Without Expectations
1. Passing Through Each Other’s Lives:
We crossed paths, and in that moment, I chose to share something meaningful to me.
It’s not an obligation; it’s an act of honesty and respect.
2. No Strings Attached:
What I tell you isn’t meant to force a reaction or a belief.
I share because it feels right, not because I expect you to agree.
2. Why I Don’t Force Belief
1. Faith Can’t Be Forced:
Belief is a deeply personal decision.
Even Allah gives humans free will to choose their path. Who am I to take that away from you?
- “There is no compulsion in religion.
The right course has become clear from the wrong.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah: 256)
2. True Belief Comes from Within:
Forcing someone to believe doesn’t lead to true conviction.
Real belief is born from understanding, reflection, and acceptance.
3. Respect for Individual Choice:
I respect your right to think and choose for yourself.
I’m here to share, not to impose.
3. Why I Choose to Speak
1. A Duty to Share:
As a servant of Allah, I feel compelled to share what I believe is right.
But my duty ends with sharing—it doesn’t extend to forcing acceptance.
2. A Chance to Learn Together:
Sharing my truth isn’t just about teaching—it’s about opening a dialogue.
Maybe through our exchange, we both grow and gain new perspectives.
3. Kindness in Communication:
I speak because I care.
Even if you don’t believe me, I hope my words spark something positive, even if it’s just a moment of thought.
4. The Balance Between Sharing and Forcing
1. My Responsibility Ends at Words:
I’ve done my part by speaking my truth.
What you do with it is entirely up to you.
2. Your Journey Is Yours:
Each person has their own path to walk.
I can’t walk it for you, nor can I force you to take a direction you’re not ready for.
3. Respecting Boundaries:
Respect is the foundation of meaningful communication.
I respect your right to disagree, just as I hope you respect my choice to share.
5. What I Hope You Take Away
1. Reflection:
Even if you don’t agree, I hope my words make you think.
Reflection is the first step toward understanding.
2. Freedom to Choose:
You’re entitled to your beliefs, just as I’m entitled to mine.
This freedom is a gift, not a burden.
3. A Seed of Understanding:
Sometimes, words don’t take root immediately.
But perhaps, in time, they’ll grow into something meaningful.
Conclusion: Believe What You Will
You’re free to believe what you want, and I’m free to share what I know.
There’s no force, no obligation—just a moment where our paths crossed, and I chose to speak.
Whether my words resonate with you or not is entirely up to you.
As I see it, truth stands on its own—it doesn’t need force to prove itself.
So, take what I’ve shared, reflect on it, and decide for yourself.
Whatever you choose, know that I respect your decision.
Belief is deeply personal, a reflection of your journey, your experiences, and your truth.
It’s not something that anyone else has the right to dictate or take away from you.
Your choice, whatever it may be, deserves to be honoured, because it is yours alone.
True respect comes from recognising the sacredness of individual belief and allowing each person to walk their own path.
