Re: How Important is Religion to you when choosing your prospect?
There was a man who was eating with his left hand in front of rasool allah SAW and HE SAW told him to eat with his right, he refused, caught something like a stroke and had to eat with his left hand for the rest of his life. I am sure it mattered to him a little dont you think. Asking someone if he/she is religious is a western concept. Islamically, it doesn’t make sense to ask someone that as religion defines your whole life, your sense of being and your existence. Asking a muslim if he/she is “religious” is like asking the grass if it’s green. Sure muslims have different levels of tawa and eman, but how can you be a “non-religous” muslim? I don’t know. Hey I do believe that allah sent us here to worship and obey him, and he created the universe and there is a heaven and hell waiting for us, I really do believe all of that but I am not “religious” lol does that make sense? It does only if you are muslim by name as you happen to be born in a musilm family and your parents named you aisha or muhammed. Sure there are athiest jews out there too.
