Religion and Spirituality

I am a fundamentalist in that I believe firmly in the fundamentals of Islam, which is exactly what the word fundamentalism means (to adhere strictly to the fundamentals of a belief or a concept), contrary to anything else you might have heard.I believe in the unity of Allah, the finality of Prophethood, and in the Day of Judgement. It is my firm belief that the Muslim faith is the only path to salvation.
In recent years, I have encountered several muslims who question the fundamentals of the faith. No, I don't think they are faltered, but yes, I do believe they are close. Not every person has the ability, patience or devotion required to indulge in sane comparative religion study. Many have faltered on that road. Even more have stumbled off. In my opinion, they do not understand what risks they are running when they question the faith that they were lucky to be born with in the first place. Comparative religion study should be left to those who have nothing to lose.

Spirituality, in my opinion, has very little to do with religion, except that religion sets the boundaries for spiritual thought, like it does for most else. To me, spirituality is believing in fate - in what you were meant to be, and what you can change. Everybody is born unique, with a unique gift. It is upto them to realize their gift, and overthrow dead culture. It's all about change. I believe I was born more an artist, to be part of an aesthetic, as well as scientific revolution. As I progress in life, I am beginning to believe even more firmly in this. As a child, I always saw myself, not behing a computer screen, but behind a canvas - the canvas is now the world I live in, and it is mine to paint... these are the limits of my sanity!
