1. what does religion mean to me?

- Religion means to me a very important part of our lives, which should be included in our lives in order to shape our lives in a very beautiful way.

Religion is a very diverse system which is included all around the world and it has different approaches to know how we can approach

towards the depth of religion learning. Religion is really great to have a direct connection with god by praying and obeying him. Being

in a specific religion I can say that there are different sets in every religion we don't which set is right or wrong we always have to

do research on our religion activities and just do that what is right but also don't compare it with others because it is there own perception.

Religion caries a bunch of different traditions and cultures which are really interesting to learn about . This is something to structure your life

by the thinking that one day world's going to end and every bad and evil people will get punished, it helps you spend your life doing good deeds

and to succeed you have to pray for your own God. Reading God's given books is really important when telling the meaning of religion because it also

gives you main and most perfect knowledge about how you have to practice your religion in most better way.

2. How would you describe role of religion?

In my point of view role of religion in my upbringing can be described as that religion has a very good role in my upbringing

it really has helped to stay far from really bad things and protect my mental health issues, my body health issues, has

protected me from many evil activities like being a theif, never lie, never ever get in fight with anyone try to apologise as our

prophet (PBUH) teached us. We get to know alot good and bad deeds because of the religion's history and past events.

It has developed my ethics in sense of making my behavior beautiful to elders, youngers and every human being whether he belongs

to my religion or other. It has great impact on my education because it helps me enhance my education by getting both world wise education

and also for religion education. It also has a great impact on worldwide systems by not going with lie and if you did you will fail in you work and if

if you did not you will definitely be successful.

3. Reflection a aspect of your life that you regard as supremely important. This could be a belief, personal cause, a calling to pursue something.

The reflection is an aspect of my life that i regard supremely important is living a purposeful life or having a passion for something because i believe life is not a destination it’s more like a journey you keep moving forward so for doing that one should have a passion for making a meaningful impact. i personally wants to live a purposeful life a life full of passion and commitment and i have this burning desire to make some positive and powerful impact on the world and this include fulfilling my dreams and aspirations because i believe living a purposeful life leads me to self_improvement, growing , and learning. This teaches me the meaning of life and it’s significance to make a positive impact on the lives of other people.

I beleive that having a passion for something makes life extraordinary and interesting other than that if i don’t have a passion for something i think it might feel a little boring and not feel like living because purpose is what gives me directions and to keep me moving forward no matter what And i personally believe that by having a passion i will leave lasting impact on the lives of all the people around the world.

6. Discuss the traditions, customs, or practices from your culture that you hold dear and explain why they are important to you.

Eid Celebrations are one of our important and most likely part of traditions and this isn’t just a tradition it’s more like a gift that our God gave us and it’s so dear to me because it gives a sense of belonging and community to all the muslims around the world and we all celebrate it on the same after the fasting for a whole month and this is the most beautiful religious tradition that we all love and celebrate with our family and friends and this evokes generosity compassion and empathy around all the muslims in the world and i personally have deeper connection with this because this celebration isn’t just a celebration for us it’s more like a Gift from our God and this is a chance to meet and greet family and friends happily even you are on bad terms with someone But in Eid we have to celebrate with one another because it’s main message is to bring peace and harmony around the all Muslims irrespective of their mutual conflicts .

5. What is your understanding of the relationship between religion and science?

My understanding is that science and relations has alot of clashes between them. Alot of scientist before were more faithful on their religion

making any discoveries . I found this really thought provoking because I personally want to understand the complex issue of religion and science.

I am able to understand that the deeper ways that science and religion both are not in conflict from very starting and relation between religion and science because they have deep connection between both of them. There is a great science behind the religion for example it has the most deepest past history in our religion and because of that our religion made and how it got stronger because of which people it got stronger. People have a great influence of our religion islam by our prophet (PBUH) teachings that how we should follow our religion, what will be the perfect ways of making it stronger and go deeper in religion practicing and get more knowledge by it.

4. What is your understanding of the truth?

In my way of thinking on the truth is that it is very rare nowadays.

People are afraid of telling truth because many times truth creates problems

for the people but we always have to say truth because it helps you grow you

and make you a mature person and truth should be given priotization and given

attention. People nowadays do corruption and do not realise how much lies they

have to deal with in future and also get caught for that fraud they did. We should try

to always speak truth because it has been the most important thing in any religion.Whoever

speaks truth are the most successful person no doubt on this . We can do much better when

we speak truth.

8. What does beauty mean to you? What words, images, sounds would you use to describe this ambiguous and elusive concept?

According to me Beauty is something that brings you peace by just looking at it and even though you already looked at it in a thousand times but you still craves to see it one more time. That one glimpse, that one attraction, that one work of art that evokes emotions . beauty is a rich concept that hold various aspects of human experiences encouraging them to appreciate it and enhance it and beauty isn’t just about the physical appearance it lies inside as well such as kindness ,empathy something bring these things to you and you starts to adore that thing then this is beauty as well. Beauty can be found anywhere because beauty lies in quiet moment that captures your attention by their elegance and uniqueness. i would like to use the image of Sunset’ warm glow to describe this ambiguous and elusive concept because sunset’s are so peaceful you feel so relaxed even by looking at it and i can sit and watch sunset’s my whole life even if have to because i find it so peaceful and graceful.

9. How would you describe the power of symbols? Identify a symbol

that is important to you. From your perspective, how important are they to our

lives?

Power of symbol can be described as there are many symbols of different religions and they are used to

descibe power of religion and also identifies the religion type for example islam have different symbol, christians

have different symbol, hinduism have different symbol, and every other religion have different symbol to identify it's own

power of existence. The symbol that is important to me because as I am a muslim so, my Islam has a symbol of moon and

it has great importance in muslims because every other religious place has this type of symbol structured at the top. They are very

important to our lives because they are used to identify our own religion and we should know it's importance and whenever we talk about

islam this symbol should include i think because it really has influenced alot of people to pray for example in a mosque when people comes

and prays under it and identify that building to be a mosque.

7. Reflect on your own beliefs regarding the relationship between religion and war.

How do your religious or spiritual views inform your perspective on this issue?

Regarding the relationship between religion and war my religious beliefs are diverse and simple because my religion teaches us to bring peace ,justice and harmony around the world. As taught by our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him ) we are encouraged to solve conflicts through peaceful resolution like using dialogues without doing any harm to anyone and my belief rejects oppression except doing it for our self defence and avoiding harming to anyone and to seek guidance from Our Holy book and our prophet Muhammad saw in any aspects of our life. In my religion , islam our spiritual views shape our perspective on war and peace and that is we follow we follow our Holy book teaching in this regard by emphasising peace justine and harmony around the word by it sayings that “whoever kill a persons,it is as though he killed all mankind .(5:32). This shapes our spiritual views on this issue because my religion promotes forgiveness and mercey in the face of calamity it also teaches that human life is scared and it must be protected but our religion also teaches us to do jihad (self defence ) against oppression but this is not something to bring war but it is something that tells us not to be oppressed by any one because Our God is the only one deserves to be fearful other than that we are taught not to fear from anyone incase of speaking for our rights.

11. What cultural or religious elements are you able to identify in sports or athletic events?

Religious elememnts I can find in sports or athletic is that they sing national anthem of their own specific country both of the opponents

do this in the match and then start the match they think this will help us get successful. Sports has a great influence of religion as people make dua for the team to make them successful in the match and pray alot and even cry when praying so, that God listen to us about the team achievement and make the team win match. People have strong beliefs in their God that if they will pray their team will definitely win the match. As alot of people gather and walk from long distances in the one group and gets united without any conflict and also go to the stadium and perform mostly the same rituals and activities in order to support team and it's like a pilgrimage such as in our religion Islam, we have Hajj ceremony/pilgrimage and we also walk like this in a whole group but perform religious rituals in order to complete Hajj and get our sins vanished even thou doing sports rituals do not remove our sins,still we perform together as one.

12. Reflect on the importance of laughter and humor in your relationships with others and with life in general.

How does sharing a laugh impact your connections with friends, family, colleagues, and the world around you?

It is important in religion because it promotes deeper understandings of the complex relationship of religion with humor.

Humor is a important aspect of life and in culture it helps get deeper connections with friends, family, colleagues, and the world. laughter and humour are the main components when it. comes to building connections and creating a sense of togetherness. Laughter and humour bring joy and ease stress by promoting a relaxing environment and it is the most effective and simplest way to overcome barriers and to resolve conflicts. They are also a way to spread happiness and positive among the friends family and colleagues making them

emotionally attached with each other. Laughter and humour are a powerful tool to boosts our moods builds trust and to create lasting memories that makes life more enjoyable and fun .
