Better Muslim VS Better Human Being?

[CE]

@ravage

is it really such a solid argument to say that being a good Muslim is always about being a good human being? one could believe the absolute best Muslim is always the absolute best human, but we dont live in absolutes do we?

to construct an example, someone who prays 5 times a day and keeps fast is a better Muslim than Mother Teresa. But if we were to judge ‘good human being’ in terms of positive contribution to human beings, Mother Teresa would be better. I think this is where the argument comes in.

Good example.

IMO one has to be a good person (and in the right mind set) to accept Islam fully
