Sure We muslim believe in Allah but that doesn't change the fact that we all struggle in this Life. Life is full of stress and struggle and pain and sorrow and death and being poor. Is part of life and believing in God keep one sane and hope for a better life after death. Believing God doesn't mean your life will be better then the next man but at lease it gives you hope that if you follow the right path you will find happiness at the end.

SubhanAllah, brother Bilal practices what he preaches. He maintains patience and peace despite the constantly crying children in the room, that alone would drive most bros crazy :D salamu alaikum

@SpatialVortex You are correct that God has absolutely no need for our worship, but we have been created with the purpose to worship God, and this life is nothing but a test. If you reject your purpose and God you are in loss. Everything that God commands us to do and encourages us to do is good for us and all of humanity, everything that God forbids us or discourages us to do is bad for us and all of humanity. How is it selfish to do this? God knows best what is best for us.

@SpatialVortex The purpose of human life is to worship God alone without partner. Worship means to do all of the things that God commands us to do and to keep away from the things that God forbids us, as well as strive to do all the good deeds God encourages us to do and to keep away from the things that God discourages us to do, but are lawful (divorce for example).

@AntDabarber916 not only will it make your life better if you believe in Allah but it will make your afterlife better as well..struggles of this short life are the test to see the truth in our faith. Being muslim and belief in Allah guides on the the right path to eternal bliss with the mercy of Allah for we are not perfect..
