It's possible to believe in Islam WITHOUT having to rely on faith?

Most don't seem to view faith as inherently irrational, rather admirable, hence you may struggle to get an answer.

I have faith that a Muslim will reply

Can one justify their belief in Islam using a chain of objective, logical arguments?

Or at some point, does there have to be a leap of faith?

I think to believe in any religion or God is a leap of faith, and I say this being religious myself.

For me there is no logical arguement you can put forward to prove the existence of anything, but instead there are questions like "who created everything?" which can provide the basis of a faith.

Basically if you have a non believer and you want to convince them there is a God, you can't.

On a serious note, I don't understand the question

A leap of faith is "an act of believing in or attempting something whose existence or outcome cannot be proved or known."

Basically, do you believe in Islam knowing that you cannot prove it to yourself with absolute certainty if you wanted to?

Out of interest - what is the "default" view, in your eyes? (ie. are people born with a complete ignorance to religion, or are people born with a "naturally occurring" belief in whichever deity you believe in)

does this not feel like you're gambling your life? Not being certain of the outcome, yet committing your life to it regardless?

We are obviously influenced by the people around us.

Personally, I think people aren't born with a naturally occurring belief.

Is this not obvious though?

For me, as my life has gone on my belief in God overtime has increased. I won't say reasons.

I'm a Sikh, so my religion simply teaches to live your life as a morally good person and you'll achieve salvation.

Not only Sikhs can achieve salvation, anyone who lives their life in a good way can.

I don't see how I'm gambling my life though. Even if there isn't a God, what harm is it in believing if it makes me a better person anyway.

I have seen many on here claim otherwise; ie. that people are born with a natural belief in and urge to submit to/serve "God", but then stray away from the "correct path". You can see how people think that way, considering their upbringing.
