Dear Noor;
first u should know why Islam? and what is Islam?
second; man in this world in a test, we all go through two status ; hard times and gift times…the test is when hard time come; Allah want to see patiance and believing that every act of God, has a wisdom behined it and benfit for the pesron and ask God to bear and pass it succesfuly
while in the gift times; Allah want to see the thanking for his gifts, and ask Allah to continue on his rewards
i think u read this verse in Quran before:
“And when he saw it set in his presence, (Solomon) said: This is of the bounty of my Lord, that He may try me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful. Whosoever giveth thanks he only giveth thanks for (the good of) his own soul; and whosoever is ungrateful (is ungrateful only to his own soul’s hurt). For lo! my Lord is Absolute in independence, Bountiful. (40)”
and there are a lot of verses talk about the same subject.
so bear in hard times and thank in good times. and get good knwoledge about ur religion from books , or any site on net; if u do so u will get proud of ur islam and will help ur friends in school,
if u read about who converts to Islam , u will thank Allah alot about his gift on u.
regards
salam
