Faith is "...what tells you that you're here for a reason; it's your map or your guide. Without it, you'd be lost. You would have no idea why you're here or what your purpose or goal is. Faith helps you make sense of this crazy world. For Muslims, we look at our religion as, not only being your religion, but your way of life. It's your whole daily routine. It's integrated into your everyday actions, so we do everything in accordance with Islamic principles."
