i hope this makes sense.

Lately, it has been bothering me that i don't question my islam more.
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh to you if you are a Muslim

you are apparently suffering from confusion.

why is it bothering you that you don't question your Islam anymore ?

Certainty in Islam is a good thing not a bad thing, questioning it is the work of the satans.

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 everyone is given this choice to believe or disbelieve

if you choose to disbelieve then you will be a disbeliever

if you are sincere discuss your problems with someone learned

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. this is not in harmony with the other things you are saying

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. you have not got a tangible reason for your beliefs? - have you really spent any time studying Islam?

if you have and you still say that then you have missed the point of everything you have read and heard

if you are a real Muslim not a troll (which to be honest is what you appear like) then it is likely that you have done something that displeased Allah and he has opened you up to these doubts - start doing things that please Him and stop doing things that displease Him if you want him to give you emaan

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? The test of the world is such that intelligence can lead either to truth or to misguidance depending on the heart of the individual

Emaan is a gift from Allah which He gives to the good, it is something in the heart not the brain

If you want Emaan abstain from sin, repent, increase your ibadah and make it sincere and Allah will increase your faith InshaAllah

it is as simple as that

He gives it to whoever He wills and takes it away from whoever He wills
