My Teenage Life in Egypt

Religion is a huge part of my life, but being an Egyptian Muslim is such a paradox, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but I just think that people are holding on to religion from the wrong side. An example: They have no mercy on animals or plants. They’re clinging to their traditions more than their peaceful religion, and claiming that this is what religion is all about, and it’s not. But for me, my relationship with God is stronger than any other relationship in my life. When I was a kid, I saw God in each and every beautiful thing, I was treating beautiful things carefully just to keep their beauty sprouting as long as possible while other kids made fun of me because I was not fighting with them using tree branches.

God is beauty, freedom, love and justice.
