I want to ask you a question if I was born and my family worships a religion other than the one I worship now, would I be with them to leave the past? We were not with the old generations. The child is weak in all aspects and needs the protection and tenderness he receives from his parents or whoever raises him, so he becomes a role model and follows many of their customs, but there may be bad customs such as favoritism in loving brothers. Since these customs are stored in the memory, they become instincts over time, but they can be controlled upon puberty when the mind grows or the person travels to a distant country. If he changes his religion and is blessed with a son, the son follows the religion of his father. What is this wrong principle in choosing a religion? This is the greatest evidence that God created for us the treasure of the mind and heart to know our religion when we grow up because the child is immature and may learn the religion of his parents. The error of reproduction is innate in humans and a child may come and his parents worship strange things, and this is clear evidence that God created my heart and mind to know God. I know that you do not live in peace and tranquility and you fear death a lot and do not like to mention it, I have a suggestion for you, declare your repentance from the sins you commit and go to the mosque and pray as Muslims pray and pray in your language after a while you will feel unparalleled happiness and reassurance in your heart I do not agree with the idea if my father was a Muslim I would have been a Muslim and by God if I did not feel this peace and happiness I would have left Islam.
Go and do as I told you and if you do not feel anything return to your religion you have not lost anything you will gain believe me.
Life is short how many years will you live after it and then die?
