Re: man-made laws and Islam
It may also be fine for person X to ignore and reject God; its a personal choice. All personal choices are fine. Quran encourages reflection, inquiry and knowledge as a prerequisite for any kind of belief and action. No such notion of ‘blind faith’ in Quran’s message. Not sure, what makes it ‘seem’ that you have such a sweeping generalization. I am tempted to think that was meant to be intentionally provocative or simply extremely ignorant.
While you may not AGREE with some laws, dozens of Muslim majority countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, UAE, Pakistan, Iran, Bahrain, Qatar, etc…) ACTUALLY have laws(immigration laws, trade laws, labor laws, traffic laws, etc).
If a Cheif Economist of a nation gives you a wise advice, and a village elder gives you a different wise advice on the same subject matter, whose advice is probably superior?
If a parent recommends something for their child, and a child’s friend recommends something, whose advice is likely superior?
If Vishnu, Bhagwaan, Yahwey, God, Khuda, Allah recommends something, and I tell you something regarding the same matter, whose advice will be superior?
You as a person can choose to take my advice over Vishnu’s. Thats up to you, but that would probably say a lot more about YOU than Vishnu.
