There is only ONE Spiritual Path that leads to perfection of the Soul … the Path of Light. If you apply The Path Of Light to ANY religion, You will be on a rightous path.

"The Light" is the force, power, essense, effects, and strength

of ALL that is good, loving, constructive, positive, harmonious,

reconciling, etc., etc.

So to "follow the Path of Light" means to SEEK OUT everything that is good and positive and constructive and to INCORPORATE THAT THING into your daily life.

Regardless of your religion &/or what Diety you choose to worship, Alaykom, if you follow the Path of Light you can never offend your God because you would never do anything to harm another or yourself. I know that Islam requires a LOT of self-discipline, but i am pretty sure that Allah, blessed and rightous be His Name, is called "Loving and Merciful" in the Q'uran, is He not? That is of the Light … the Light shines from the "Loving and Merciful" to make the World a brighter place for all of us. We can not FORCE religion/religious beliefs down the throats of anyone … nor can we have sincere devotion from someone who follows a religion solely out of fear . The ONLY way a person will walk a True Path, whether in religion or any other thing, is when that person finds The Light in that which they believe in & that Light brings them Peace and Joyful satisfaction with who, what and where they are.

Learn to seek The Light and focus on that … it will make following Islam and the Q'uran much easier for you.References :

you are not unique

most people path in what you have passed through

it is part of growing up in this life

each one of us humans have a different story with our God

if you are sincere, honest and just you will get there

study other religions

see life model solutions

compare with the Islamic solution

fee free to criticize in a good way anything you do nt understand though being sarcastic

try to learn the wisdom for why things have been prescribed

make sure you differentiate between what is Islam and what is culture

also understand the difference between faith issues and state issues

faith issues never change

other regulations of state may vary with place and time

etc

do not worry about sinning as long as you are asking for forgiveness and sincerely trying to quit bad habits

I have known many people going through what you are going through but finally they come to realize why and how.

hopefully you will too!References :

Go straight to God with your problem,and tell him about it

he has heard it all and ask him to help you over come these thing,s

if you can;t find a Muslim church,try a Christian,it will not hurt anything

and maybe will help you,no Priest or man can help.you have to Trust God and work in a church make friends with Christian people,they are

some of the most thoughtful one,s I know and will try to help you,

God will forgive you ,all you have to do is ask.References :

When your Muslim brothers come back then you too can follow.

Until then, keep a watchful eye out.References :

How can a Muslim like myself come back to the straight path?Let me give you a little information of myself so that you can better assist me in my query. I was born Muslim but not really taught to follow any religion, just allowed to believe and follow whatever I want. Anyways I chose Islam. But I got lots of doubts and became agnostic and almost atheist. Anyhow that was when I was a younger teenager. Getting into my teen years though I stopped praying as often, and started becoming more interested in things considered to be haram (forbidden). One of these things was pornography and masturbation, which I still have a problem with till these days. And now since it's so common for me to act out in such disgusting behavior old methods of masturbating no longer appeal to me so I've done even nastier and more sin regarding this matter. I masturbate and watch porn about once or twice on a day to day basis, and this is within the time frame from six years ago till today. Perhaps I've missed about a week total once within this period. I've also had this problem I believe comes from the shaytan where I think of the most insane/vulgar images of the Prophets, Quran, and Allah in my mind. Sometimes being sexual thoughts, ect. I cannot control them, they are like mind compulsions which I wish to stop. They are very satanic and I'd rather not mention them in full detail. It also involved insulting God and Muhammad and Islam ect. Both of these problems have contributed to me stop praying and losing track of faith and hope. There are absolutely no Muslims in my area as the majority who live here are christians and catholics are the only Muslims there are keep to themselves and I have no idea where they are. There are no mosques and no Islamic scholars to keep in contact or discuss these matters with, and they are perhaps too embarrassing to discuss with them even if those sources were available. As for my two addictions, they're really causing problems in my life and I've tried so many advices anywhere from fasting, eating less meat, water diets. Praying. Reciting Quran. "Trying to get married-that definitely hasn't worked yet". Don't get me wrong I have lots of friends and family but they are all contributors to my issues as they are bad influences. I do not have a good society around me and do not have the means to do a hijrah to leave in search of a better place. In fact, I'll probably be stuck here for the next twenty years. I'm a senior in high school now and God knows what's next to happen. I really want to be a believer again but I keep getting doubts of God and I stop praying and masturbation and pornography aren't healthy as every one has been saying, I KNOW ITS WRONG because I can feel the pain. I just wish that one day someone would tell me what I can do to fix it. It's the biggest temptation I've ever had to dealt with and perhaps I don't take it as easy as others I do now know. But I really want to change my life and get back on the straight path, but because I'm a revert in a sense I haven't had good relations with other Muslims I've known online anyways. They're always trying to prove I'm not Muslim or explain in a sense how they are better than me, and those who do not do that just seem to seclude themselves from me because I am not the same as them. I have no one to relate to either as I am Iranian and American and live in a place full of Mexican people. Of course there are good people every where but in general when influence is bad everyone in the area turns the same exact way. I've lost almost all my means of communication and feel even God (Allah) wont hear me because I've turned my back on him. I know you say there's always a way to turn back to the path of Siratal Mustaqueem the true path but as long as I have this problem no matter how many times I come back to the true path I will continue to sway off again. Trust me, I've tried it many times. Please help me in my query and Allah bless whoever answers this question sincerely. Peace and Salam Alaykom.
