Debus: Faith or Performance?

A man stabs his stomach. No blood. This is called Debus,

a spiritual martial ritual. Ask yourself: if hurting your own body is

a sign of faith, why didn't the Prophet ever do this?

Notice the audience. When there's a crowd and phones recording, faith slowly turns

into a performance. Islam is about submission, not being invincible. You don't test

Allah. You trust Allah. If your faith needs a knife to be proven,

maybe it's just ego. Follow for more reflections that make you think.
