I hope this makes sense.

Lately, it has been bothering me that I don't question my Islam more. I have read a lot, but at the end of the day, I accept it and move on. It's not in my nature to look for whys, hows, and because, but it's slowly creeping up on me now. Things like how do we know that the Qur'an is indeed the literal word of Allah SWT

In the recesses of my mind, I know that Islam is for me. I know that I believe in an all powerful Creator and that it is Allah SWT.

I don't know why, though. Aside from being born a Muslim, alhamdullilah, I don't have tangible reasons for my beliefs. If someone were to ask me these questions, I wouldn't have an answer. Normally how I feel about Islam, the way reading Qur'an brings me to tears, the way nature inspires such awe, the way a moving dua has me up all night pleading for forgiveness is how I know my heart is somewhat soft, but right now, that isn't enough. I'm struggling to hold onto that feeling, which in recent hours/days has ebbed away. If I can logically ascertain such answers to myself, it would be cement the feeling. How do I rationally arrive at these, and more, conclusions?

Jazakallahu khairan.

Maybe look around and ponder over the system you are living in, the nature, how things happen , just start pondering and analyzing anything. If your just and logical then inshAllah you will reach to a point where you will admit that there is a creator.

Once that is established than who this creator must be would be the question? Then attempt understanding the attributes of Allah , and if you are just and logical then you will inshAllah feel that no other creator in any other religion has attributes the way Allah informs us about himself. Removed from any deficiencies. InshAllah your soul will find peace in believing such a creator.

Then next ponder over Prophet Mohammad S.W and his mission. And then the miracles that have happened , start from pondering over the fact that how this book Quran is immposible to change. How Allah takes the responsibility to preserve it and how man feels inclined to remember it Dot by dot. This is a miracle initself.

Then look at the Ahadeeth of Prophet S.W. How can 1400 years ago a man had such great and accurate forsight that he was informing about times to come after 1400 years. And things are exactly happening.

Similarly pondering over facts one can realize their is a great intelligent creator who must be free from any deficiencies, or else cannot be called a creator because he is the one who has to create deficiency in the first place. It can be none other than Allah Ta'la.
