hi all, my question is , does religion affects the culture of ppl living in certain part of the world? Can we separate Culture n Religion from each other or they go hand in hand,does Religion shapes’s the Culture?
Re: Religion VS Culture!
Yes religion affects the culture and sometimes culture affects religion with more force. Let me give you an example from sub-continent.
Qawwali is not part of Arab society, where Islam originated., but when Sufi saint started preaching Islam in India, they took help of poetry and Qawwali to convey their message to masses. Qawwali / Gatherings of Mehfil e Sama is very much influenced by Bhajhans. Even format of Milad in sub-continent Muslim families is adapted from Katha in Hindu families. We have Dus Beebiyon ki kahani and Hindus already got 5 Maha-Kaniyas :)
Have you recently seen / heard some religious parties making models of Khana e Kaba and Masjid e Nabvi and putting them near Numaish Chorangi, Karachi on 12th Rabi ul Awwal?
Religion VS Culture!
