I believe in Islam, but...

Salam Alaikoum And Ramadan Mubarak

I feel really lost right now, I do the things I’m supposed to, yes I make mistakes,and I feel ashamed for a lot of the them, but I still work hard to fix them, and still do the important things and try to do good

That’s not really what I’m trying to bring up, I just want to let you know what kind of state I’m in.

I’m having a bit of a crisis of faith, I’m not saying that I don’t believe, in fact I’m fairly convinced Islam is the truth

But I feel blind and lost, because I feel as if that I’m just Muslim because my parents were, and because I was raised Muslim, and lived my entire life around Muslims, and in a religious environment

I don’t have any perspective on other philosophies, religions, ways of life. And I’m scared that, what if I’m being brainwashed, and that I only believe in Islam because it’s the only thing I’ve ever known?

Am I wrong to want to “browse” other religions, and at least look at what the world has to offer before I commit to Islam?

I wouldn’t stop believing, or stop praying, or even stop doing good deeds

But I would ask people who are different from me in beliefs, what they believe, why they believe that, and where’s everything and everyone ending up?

Is this the work of shaytaan? Well considering I’ve only had these thoughts this Ramadan, I doubt it.

I feel really confused and lost, because I don’t know what to do, asking Allah for guidance sort of defeats the purpose of my question

You can judge me, or call me a bad Muslim, that’s fine, but if you have any experience or guidance or any for of help to offer, I would be extremely grateful.
