Re: Beginnings of Islam
Not trying to argue with you KKF. However, when those of us who are Muslims, read the Prophet 's (SAWS) name in an article …maybe written by a non-Muslim…in our minds we will say SAWS.
She’s not a bachi. More than likely her parents are Muslims and at some point, or even various points during her life, she had learned (or was told) to say PBUH/SAWS after the zikar of the Prophet SAWS. So, she is well aware, but she simply doesn’t care. Her refusal to say this does not diminish the shaan and status of the Prophet SAWS. So it’s not right to guilt or pressure her into it.
Even with one who believes in Islam, we’re supposed to remind them gently if they forget or are unaware. What makes you so certain, KKF, that she believes herself to be Muslim? If she doesn’t believe in Islam, then don’t push her. The Prophet SAWS himself was calm and kind to those disrespected him. He SAWS does not need respect that is forced. So, leave her be. As long as she’s not speaking disrespectfully about him SAWS…while being fully aware that majority of members here are Muslim…yeh hi aik bahut bari baat hogi.
