Prophet Mohammad :saw: rejected the religion of his parents (paganism). The question is that is rejecting the religion of one’s parents a Sunnah? But then again, the punishment for leaving Islam is death, so is it conceivable that one can be killed (under Shariah laws) by following Sunnah :saw:
I want some intellectual discussion and no bullcrap or childish boring arguments.
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
you don't want any "bullcrap"... what about the bullcrap in the original question? or do you have a monopoly on spewing bullcrap?
the Prophet's (saw) sunnah in everything he did is about rejecting disbelief in favour of belief... it is not about "reject[ing] the religion of [one's] parents" just for the sake of rejecting the religion of one's parents...
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
Madhu Bhaijaan, please don't bring forth twisted arguments to extend your hidden agenda.
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
Practicing Islam is not rejecting any other religion...it is accepting the one true religion...and that is Sunnah. By virtue of this acceptance, all others are rejected but that is simply consequential. People do not practice Islam for the sake of rejecting their parent's faith.
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
Islam was revealed over a course of time. Prophet could have only embraced Islam upon the final revelation, it is at that point that sunnah begins.
Regarding death penalty, too bad/good, that his old religion didnt have it, he beat 'em all to it.
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
Interesting replies from kids. However, lack any substance. But I am a big believer in letting everyone speak however bogus one’s views.
Having said that, let me ask you again. Aren’t Prophet Mohammad’s :saw: deeds consider Sunnahs and are to be followed blindly? (Or are these deeds selected deeds and only after he was appointed a Rasool). Can someone clarify that? Thank you. After this clarification, I have some more questions for you.
Brother Verizon. Thank you. I wrote the above before reading your response. Thanks again. 
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
actually no. Your logic is flawed, although I see what you’re trying to say.
Did he really reject his parent’s religion? How are you so sure his mother was a stone-worshipper? There are no records to prove/disprove it, from what I’m aware of. If anyone knows, please post.
If he did reject his family’s religion (family’s religion would be more correct, since his extended clan were polytheistic stone worshippers), then he did it in favor of Islam.
So, to follow the sunnah actually would be that if your family does not believe in Islam, then go against them and convert out.
The logic doesn’t work by just saying that you following the sunnah if you go against your parent’s religion, because the statement must be qualified by which religion it is you’re leaving, and which one you’re entering.
Nice attempt at a riddle though, Madhanee uncle. :k:
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
It will definitely be a sunnah and they will be rewarded for it if your children do that.
got the context?
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
I like the last two replies. :) Hope you like them too, madhanee.
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
good one :k:
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
AQ, my older son worships Satan and the younger one thinks he is a Catholic (like his friends). So If you say that they are following the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad :saw: I guess, it is hard to argue against it.
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
Who is they?
Isnt that like living on a pretense.
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
Only in matters of religion. We practice the religion he practiced, not rejected. Interesting how you would simply reject the obvious.
The Prophet also lived in a desert, yet is is not obligatory on Muslims to do the same.
What is considered Sunah is that what is prescribed by the Prophet (pbuh) in Hadith. Thus, if the prophet (pbuh) mentioned that fasting on such-and-such day is a good thing, then it is sunnah.
Following the religion of our parents is not at all recommended if the religion is not Islam.
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
need some english lesson? eh?
they is refered to Bani Madhanee in the same line.
Madhanee: aww mirchi 
… so in other words, they are still Qadiyaani 
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
madhanee asks:
if munnah does not follow sunnah, is it gunnah?
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
^ lol :)
PCG has raised a very valid point no. 2
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
So basically you don’t know what Sunnah is? To you, it is only what is fed to you thru behind by your Mullah. The only one here is following true Sunnah is Qureshi by showing disrespect to other people’s faith and kids. That is true Sunnah (according to his beliefs). But let’s move on and discuss some more.
Can marrying a young girl in your old age a Sunnah? Let’s not discuss if such an act is pious or filthy, let’s just see if it is Sunnah or not. Because we are not discussing the virtues of it, just what it is. Hope this clarifies for your little brains.
The reason I asked this was because the same Molvi brigade were jumping like monkies over the news of a woman leading prayers. It was said that it is not permissible because Mohammad :saw: did’nt do it.. well hello, he was a Man? I am trying to figure out why is it that you look elsewhere for somethings, while look towards Sunnah for other things?
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
madhanee: have some sugar… bahut mirchaiN haiN…
women leading prayer is not permissible not because Prophet:saw: did not do it but because he NEVER LET WOMEN DO it in his lifetime…
err… and no i was not disrespcting unless calling someone a Qadiyaani is a disrespect:)
Re: Is rejecting the religion of one’s Parents a Sunnah?
^^ "prophet didnt do it "so we shouldn't. Prophet never travelled to America either maybe all muslims should leave america. He never travelled to india either oooops, here comes a massive influx of refugees to SA.
