Primordial Meaning of Rituals: Sacrifice and Fasting

As a Christian woman everything that I have learned via this religion makes me doubtful of Islam. Upon hearing and looking at this video I can sense an internal conflict, what I have thought was true versus what is being shared in this video. There is a part of me within that says, “Oh no! This is bad! This is Satan trying to bring Islam to the world!” And there is another part within me that sees and can feel the beauty and purity. I don’t feel any connection in the name Allah, and it has an opposite effect on me as if it is a bad name although I do love God very much. What is the origin of the name Allah? I’ve often wondered why Islam has been advertised as such a bad religion and put in such a negative light. This video has shed a light on my animal nature, that I know is there, but it has shown this to me on a very new and different level. Do I have sufficient spiritual love within me to keep my focus on God and pass through that narrow gate? Or will I continue to succumb to my animal nature? I’ve never thought of Islam, pure Islam, as an opportunity for me to reach Him. But I feel within me that I once knew this religion in it’s purest form. What I don’t want is to waste time in diluted versions of God’s true essence via various religions. But this, what is being shared in this video is different, it’s beautiful and it is Good and I think it will help me as I work on myself. I would love to truly know more and understand Jesus’ message via Islam. Thank you for such an important video.

Thank you very - this makes a lot of things very clear and understandable 🙏
