What are your thoughts on this?

“Agnostic muslim” sounds contradictory but isnt.

i believe that us as humans we have no ability to test God’s existence, we cant leave our universe and take a look above, and we cant use any equipment to detect God, means we cant prove Gods existence or disprove it. (We cant prove both religion or Atheism ).

But i choose to believe in God, idk what it is, but i choose to, and I practice islam, pray and everything.

My belief made sense to me, because even in islam’s teachings, life is a test, God is meant to be hidden, it wouldn’t be a test if the answer is right there would it?

Yes God sent down prophets and miracles, as messengers and hints, but some accuse them of mental illness or any other reason.

I thought i was just a normal muslim, but apparently Im not, Im an “Agnostic theist” by definition.

Agnosticism = a philosophical stance, that the matter or Gods existence is unknown or unknownable, whether right now, or in general.

I thought us as belivers only belive not know, I mean isn’t this the whole point? And why it is called “belief” (Iman) in the first place?

But Apparently not. Other theists and muslims don’t think like me, they either believe that the scripture is enough and clear evidence, or that they don’t need evidence they just know it in their hearts.

I dont “know” it, I just believe it, somethings i genuinely believe and somethings I try to. But I cant fool myself to know any of it.

Am I still muslim? Thoughts?

Edit: definitions

Belief = thinking that something is true.

Knowledge = a belief that is justified with evidence.
