Future of muslims

Re: Future of muslims

Extreme sides

On one hand many will be becoming losing faith and will consider religion as a block to becoming modern, success, better life , peace etc

And on the other hand, stricter version then their elders, thanks to the Saudi madressay , with many wearing niqaab, gloves/ socks and physical jihad, wajib Al qatil@ non Muslim and heavy recitation of Quran with no understanding of the meaning / tafseer

The sane party will be reduced or hide their faith

^Masajids in some parts (not all) of the world…and sadly in majority muslim countries…are nearly empty.

In all my recent experiences in Muslim majority countries I have not seen that to be the case. Then again, I’ve spent very little time in Muslim majority countries. However, this topic was asking about Muslims in the West.

This is how religion is everywhere. Whenever religions are spread into new places (forcefully or not) the new believers generally incorporate their culture into the religion rather than change their culture entirely to be more like the religion (like Zen Buddhism and Christianity in Latin America).

But I’m talking about mixing bits of culture that **directly contradict **Islam..

You can’t call desi Islam “pure” when we have marriages arranged without even consulting the girls involved, living in large joint families, forbidding couples of different races from marrying etc

That is literally what I am referencing. People do not ever fully submit to their religion, they always work their culture into their religion or cherrypick what they want to follow and do not want to follow. Following religion in a “pure” way is a pipe dream.

Re: Future of muslims

^No, it’s perfectly possible to follow religion without mixing it with contradictory cultural elements..

There are plenty of “new generation” Muslims in the UK doing that.. keeping out cultural aspects that contradict Islam..

As I said, I’m not very practising, but I’ve come across a lot of people my age.. There’s a brilliant Youtuber (whose name I can’t remember exactly right now, Ansa or Hansa or something) who’s a good example of that..

What is their lifestyle that allows them to do that?

Re: Future of muslims

Should follow the what Islam teaches us

We should not add things from our own

Peace @Shareefbacha95,

Everyone is responsible for his/her actions as well what he/she contributes either directly or indirectly among others. I heard that staying on path of the ‘Deen i.e., Islam’ will be like holding burning coal in hands, regardless living in east or west / Muslim or Non-Muslim states.
