Re: Our society
I doubt any parents would grin with happiness if their little angel committed murder or something. That does not mean their love was fake but that they are disappointed for obvious reasons. In the same way, if people disapprove of a family member turning their back to Islam, that is understandable since religion is quite a sensitive issue. You cannot question their love and loyalty in this situation. NONE of my Irish friends are practising Catholics, they’re mostly atheists, so their parents couldn’t care less if they converted to Islam or Hinduism or whatever. It is different in muslim households where namaaz is offered 5 times a day. Those people are very much in touch with their religion and so the hurt, if their child rejected Allah swt, would be huge, as expected.
Speaking outside of the context of religion, I would disagree that desi (immediate) family bonds are easily altered. I know of a 50-something year old drug addict who has done nothing but cause pain to his family all his life but they put up with all his BS because that’s what families do, so I was told. If this was an Irish family, the dude would’ve long been kicked out of the house.
i agree.
the bold part however, same could be said about some muslims too, in fact anybody else. breaking bonds within family and disowning them is not limited to religion.
