It's all restrictions... is it not

"No gambling.
No alcohol.
No interest.
No pork... and that's the tastiest meat!
So, surely then,
with all these restrictions,
there must be things that you can do which we can't?"

I shrugged my shoulders.
Looking at it from the wrong angle
it didn't hit me at the time:
Life's a test is what it is.
Nothing more.
The joy is in accepting it,
in knowing from where we came and to where we're gone.

Many people think islam is restrictions and laws. But the feeling of ripping yourself out of bed for fajr and walking in the cold and rain to the mosque and making it there on time... Gives me an indescribable pleasure. In the hope that allah accepts from us.

I feel freedom in obedience.
