Selam Aleykum /r/islam ,
First of all, I'm not trolling or anything like that, this is a serious question not meant to be baiting anyone.
What make you think that Islam is the truth?
Many people don't think about their own beliefs and just follow them, because they were born into a christan, muslim, jewish etc. family and just stick with it due to cultural & social reasons.
Some start questioning it, some abandon their beliefs and some never think about it.
I'm currently in a stage in which i would consider myself an agnostic theist, my beliefs would still fall into the islamic spectrum, but i'm far really FAR away from Islam like it's practiced in Saudi-Arabia.
I'd be a munafiq according to them.
What gives pious muslims the certainity about their beliefs ? Please, let me know it because I slowly started losing that mindset 5 years ago and it got worse over time.
I also keep up with the Syrian and Iraqi civil war. I've seen ISIS and other Jihadist factions do horrible things, which are completely legal according to Islamic law/ many scholars. That also weakened my beliefs.
Humans were believing in different religions and thousands of gods even before the message of Prophet Ibrahim(Abrahamic religions) spread around the world. Many still do.
What if Islam is just one of many religions like every other one before? Every religion claims to be special and the truth. What gives you the certainity that other religions are false and Islam is true ? What keeps your belief strong ? Have you ever questioned it ?
I've got another question too:
Would a jihadist who prayed 5x a day for his whole life and believed in allah and his message without doubting it a single second in his lifetime see paradise, even though he killed innocent civilians and did more horrible things and would a non-believer who was a good human and never did anything bad to another person see the fire of hell ?
I know it is allowed to lie to keep someone believing, but in this case your own honest opinions would be worth so much more. I want to know how people can keep believing even though they know all of these things.
