    I think my God is very intelligent. My God used my weaknesses to bring me closer to Him.

    Shia LaBeouf

    On this Shia and I are the same. God also used my pain and weakness to bring me closer to him. I am incredibly thankful for it every day. In the video, I watched where Shia says these words he also says that he wishes non-believers the pain and suffering he experienced which may sound hostile at first. Still, he explains that he means that in a way so that they too can meet God and be joyful and find purpose in that suffering they are going through.

    I think this is well said, and although nobody likes suffering, there is no doubt that in those moments we can hear God the loudest.

    A true believer is at war with his sin. A false believer is at peace with it.

    Unknown

    I wrote Unknown here because I couldn’t find the origin of this quote. Some sources are claiming it’s Romans 7:15, but I looked it up and it’s not (at least not a citation). However, Romans 7:15-24 does talk about Paul’s struggle with sin so I think that the origin could be inspired by those verses. To me, it seems someone wanted to summarize these verses and whoever that was, he did a great job.

    It is certainly one of the greatest and simplest descriptions I’ve seen in a while. Those of us who believe often really struggle with our sins and, to some people, it may seem like we are exaggerating them, but we know that we must hold ourselves accountable in order to avoid getting comfortable with it aka. being at peace with it.

    In te domine, speravi. (In thee, o Lord, do I put my trust)

    Aloysius Stepinac

    There is not much I can say about this, it’s self-explanatory. This is a great motto to live by, but it’s most likely the hardest one to stick to. It’s in our nature to sometimes despair during hard times, but this quote encourages us to put our trust in the Lord, especially in those difficult situations.

    Yesterday I talked to a priest after confession and asked for advice on how to overcome despair. He affirmed that I am going in the right direction by trying to entrust my life to God and told me about this quote and told me to say it often and say it loud.

  • Why jihad happens?

    I am quoting a post I saw on X.com written by Dan Burmawi and I will just highlight in bold what I believe are key parts of his long post:

    Let me tell you why would a Muslim drive his car into a crowd of innocent people. I was raised Muslim, and I know exactly why this happens. It’s not poverty. It’s not oppression. It’s not even radicalization. It’s the logical outcome of Islamic doctrine itself.

    It doesn’t matter if you’re a Muslim or not, we as human beings carry guilt deep inside us. We know we are not good enough, and we spend our life trying to redeem ourself through good deeds, thinking it will make the suffocating guilt go away.

    Christianity for example offers a way out of guilt, a solution not based on your works but on Christ’s. Salvation isn’t earned, it’s given. You accept that you can’t redeem yourself, because Christ already did everything on your behalf. That means you’re free. Free to live, free to build, free to serve, free to love.

    And when a Christian feels lost, broken, and in need of forgiveness, they can go to church, talk to a pastor or priest, and leave knowing they are forgiven.

    Islam, on the other hand, doesn’t offer redemption, it weaponizes guilt. Instead of providing salvation, Allah exposes you, hold your sins over your head, and threatens you with hellfire and torture in the grave.

    The Quran isn’t a book of peace, it’s a book of threats. It bullies Muslims into obedience through fear, humiliation, and punishment.

    So what happens when a Muslim seeks redemption? They try to be better Muslims. They pray, fast, give to charity, go on Hajj, do everything Allah commands. But it never works. I know. I did it.

    And no matter how much you pray, no matter how much you try, the guilt never goes away. Because deep down, every Muslim knows it’s not enough. Allah always demands more.

    Allah loves those who die fighting against the infidels. That’s not an opinion, it’s in the Quran, in Hadith, in every lesson taught to children.

    This is why Muslims, even the so-called “moderates”, always hesitate to condemn terrorism. Because they know jihad is required by Allah. They might not be willing to commit it themselves, but they cannot say it’s wrong.

    So when a Muslim fails to reach peace through religious rituals, they have two choices:

    Give up, stop being devout, and learn to live with the guilt, or commit to jihad, because that’s the only way to be true to yourself.

    The Quran spells it out clearly: “Kill those who do not worship Allah or obey the Prophet” (9:29)

    So when a Muslim embraces this identity fully, killing infidels isn’t just justified, it’s joyful. It’s an act of:

    • Saving yourself
    • Obeying Allah
    • Securing your eternity
    • Finally escaping the crushing weight of guilt

    This is why a Muslim can drive his car into a crowd of innocent people and feel nothing but satisfaction. Because for the first time in his life, he finally believes he has done something worthy of redemption.

    When Muslims tell you that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Jihad is just a minor, misunderstood concept, and Islam is all about Tawba (repentance), don’t believe them. Anyone who actually reads the Quran without sugarcoating it knows that’s a lie.

    Jihad isn’t just more emphasized, it’s glorified, rewarded, and commanded over and over again. Repentance, on the other hand, is an afterthought, conditional at best, and often linked directly to violence.

    If repentance was really the heart of Islam, you’d expect the Quran to be filled with verses about mercy, unconditional forgiveness, and spiritual renewal. Instead, it’s packed with over 100 verses commanding Muslims to fight, kill, and spread Islam by force.

    Take Surah At-Tawba (9:111):

    “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”

    That’s not about prayer. That’s not about personal growth. That’s a transaction, your life in exchange for jihad and paradise. If you fight and die for Allah, you get an automatic pass to heaven.

    Tawba is rarely discussed on its own, and when it is, it’s almost always tied to submission, forced conversion, or Islamic supremacy.

    Repentance in Islam isn’t between you and God, it’s a tool of submission. It’s not just about feeling remorse or changing your ways. It’s about proving your loyalty to Islam, and in many cases, that means jihad.

    Look at Surah At-Tawba (9:5), the so-called “Verse of the Sword”:

    “And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them… But if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakah1, let them go on their way.”

    You’re only forgiven if you convert, pray, and pay up. If not, Death.

    Compare that to Surah Muhammad (47:35-36):

    “So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior…”

    Islam doesn’t preach peace when it’s in a position of power. It only offers peace as a tactic when Muslims are weak. Tawba isn’t about mercy, it’s about forcing submission.

    If Islam was truly centered on repentance, you’d expect it to be the best way to earn Allah’s favor. But that’s not how it works.

    The fastest, easiest, and most guaranteed way to be forgiven and go straight to paradise isn’t through prayer, fasting, or charity. It’s through Jihad.

    Surah As-Saff (61:10-12)

    “O you who believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment? [It is that] you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you should know.”

    Fight and die for Allah, you’re saved. Repent, pray, and try to be a good person? No guarantees.

    Jihad is not a “misinterpretation”. It’s the backbone of the Quran’s message.

    The biggest and most suicidal mistake the West has made about Islamist is assuming that they are like us. They are NOT!

    Their mass emigration is not because they are searching for a better life. They are invading us with an intent to conquer us from within. They act peaceful while they are a minority and then strike when they become majority or close to majority.

    They lie because the Quran permits lying to infidels and calls it Taqiyya. They lie while waiting to kill or convert us all at the first opportunity.

    1. Zakat (or Zakāh) is one of the five pillars of Islam. Zakat is the Arabic word for “Giving to Charity” or “Giving to the Needy”. ↩︎

    Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

    Theodore Roosevelt

    Do not despair if you think you lack something of this world, as it only matters that we do not lack a relationship with God. Thank God every day for everything that happened and for him being by your side all the time, no matter what happened – good or bad.

    With time, God will help you achieve great things, although they might not be the exact things you think you want. Often, he provides us with something better, but we fail to see it because we are fixated on what we think we should get.

    So as the quote says, do what you can, with what you have, and where you are and God will guide you to something better. Just remember to be open-minded as to what God will bring you, accept it, it will make sense in the end.
