Re: is humanity different than religious piety?
Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim
I wrote such a long post and lost it when i was pasting it because i accidently pressed copy rather than paste over previous text, and i didnt save the post i wrote out in word. Drat!!! O well let me write something brief. Without Islam there is no Humanity. If you look at the world, people who are most committing crimes are ones who are athiest. Religion (especially islam) hits the headlines alot though for reasons i am sure many here understand. Put it this way, I like money! So whats stopping me from robbing a bank? I might get shot! But who cares? No punishment for me if i die! This is the type of mentality non thinking individual would have! The ones who lie to themselves to make themselves feel better that there is no need to worry about the afterlife. Islam is the true faith and humanity cannot be separated from this religion. It was a gift to us from lord Almighty and we must obey our creator. If a muslim commits a crime it would either be out of ignorance (ignoring the faith), lack of understanding (not learned in faith) or revenge (low patience and wanting to get back at people who are oppressing them, in an unorthodox manner). If people believe in humanity so much, why are they intolerant against peoples faiths? Afterall humanity includes everyone doesnt it?
My faith is further reinforced by the Holy Quraan and Hadith Subhan'ALLAH.
