Exactly my point Diwana, Allah knows our hearts and minds. Our intentions are more important than the traditions. Chinese, mexican, english or urdu who cares as long as we do what is required.
Worry because I dont know what I am praying, I am just parroting what is being learnt, is my heart in it - No. I am just doing my obligation without any conviction. Conviction comes only when I know what I am doing and with my own accord.
The easy answer would be why not learn Arabic. The easier answer would be why I was not born Arab then.
Arab have benefit of the language as they understand exactly what they are supposed to do. As I said earlier probably in another thread, I feel as if Islam is tailor made for Arabs and their culture and now everyone has to try to become an Arab to be closer to God.
My self respect failed to agree with that. I am what I am. I refuse to become somebody else. God knows my intentions and thats what I care for.
Ok the salat would be different, so what? In a different language it is supposed to be different. Is God interested in mere words what is being uttered? Are we just keeping a tradition alive?
What is the difference between Allah and God? I find none, and I use them interchangably depending on my mood, God has not asked me to call him only Allah. That was decided by someone else.
Sure dude no argument, you have your thinking and I have my own.
God has promised to protect His words himself for all generation, I don’t think He requires our help in the matter.
Why not Fayax thats the whole point? Sorry bro not satisfied with your explanations. A lion is a lion in any other language or atleast bites the same no matter what someone decides to call it.
I guess the reason that there is no change in Quran is because God is protecting it. Not because we mere mortal have decided to follow traditions. We are too weak to even consider that we can protect something.
All muslims are so much in love with arab culture that they dont even see when something wrong is done. A very few handful of people realise what the arab governments are doing with other muslims, majority just loves them because Prophet was an arab. Example look at our own leaders, they perfectly well know how Pakistanis are treated in these countries and what do they do. I will use Saudi as an example how many times have you heard of any protest against them from Pakistani people or government. Never. Saudi nay jo kaha sahi kaha.
