Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

both go hand in hand.
If you are one then you are automatically the other too:@:

Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

Human.. then rest !

Good Muslim. If I can be one, I'll be a good human being automatically.

Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

Being better human is destiny and being better muslim a path .

Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

:lifey:exactly

Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

If you can follow ANY religion properly (and I mean properly), you will be a good human being. But obviously, religion is not a prerequisite for being a good human being.

I strive to be a good human being. I have stopped worrying myself with the complications associated with religions.

On second thought: there are many new-agey religions that aren't all that great.

Religion has very little to do with being an amazingly good natured human being.

Elaborate pls :)

Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

Islam is a way of life, if we follow that way of life, we will be far greater than the so-called good human being of this world. After all, we Muslims have to worry about our akhira, if we keep akhira as our purpose of life, we will be far greater than any good human being in this world (who only lives 70 years) vs akhira!

Remember, this definition of "better human being" is from this world, a Muslim is defined by Lord of this world and next. So we should always always try to be the best muslim we can be.

Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

I think I'd try to be a good Muslim in order to be a better human being.

Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

you can be both

but when i hear a question like that i always think anti islam conspiracy. as if a good muslim is not the best of humans.

obviously these questions are in the air at the moment, mainly due to the propaganda of the last twenty years, ever since ussr fell and nato needed a new foe

Being a better Muslim does mean being a better human being of course. if you follow Islamic values such as respect for elderly, charity to poor, sincerity, being a good neighbour and so much more.

BUT in the west sexual freedom for example is not seen as an indicator of beig a better human being whilst in Islam it is.

Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

Ha!

How about someone first establish what a good human being is and what a good muslim is? Can the opener of this thread first establish what is it in a good human being that is not supposed to be present in a good muslim?

Re: Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

better Muslim will make you a better human being anyway but its not true other way round.

Absolutely ... but I am questioning the what definition of better human being is this thread subject to. People have different perspectives. When the thread opener wrote Better Human VS Better Muslim, the use of VERSUS means there is something in conflict. I would want to see an explanation of that.

i'd strive to be a good muslim, for a good muslim surpasses any good human in quality

This is like asking someone to choose between 1 litre and 1000 ml.
