Philosophy is not just all about thinking about God, which you might find boring, it also about thinking consistently about nature and the things we come to know. Whatever your field of study, philosophy builds the foundation of its knowledge.
Islam doesn't actually have problems with thinking rationally and critically. It is of our nature that avoids change, especially change in our thoughts.
As Albert Einstein said;
"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change."
Lol since like 98% of the kids in my school are muslim, the Philosophy and Ethics class is all Muslim. My friend does it and i asked her if It ever caused her to challenge her faith. She basically said that the arguments go over her head. She learns it for the exam, but doesn't seriously try to contemplate or understand them

But you cannot really decide to have no interest in a subject when you have never engaged in it, no?
But you can't just take risks when it's a subject you're going to be studying in depth for the next two years... why are you trying to turn this into "muslims don't do philosophy because it could challenge their faith" when several muslims in the thread have already said that they chose philosophy and it didnt affect them
Pick if you want, why be afraid to have your beliefs challenged? I know there are at least 3 religious people in our philosophy class (1 muslim) who still seem to stand by their faith in spite of the philosophical arguments used.
