Re: ...Religious Questions...
^ Bilkul theek kaha. I think this is the problem with our parent's generation and that's how they were brought up and that's how they will always be.
However, on the other hand, I hope to be more liberal and understanding when my children will ask me questions. Ofcourse there are some things that you don't question, just like that quote says don't put a question mark where Allah puts a period. But everything in Islam is there for a reason. There is answer to EVERY question. That's a different story that our parents don't know and instead of encouraging us to find the answer or saying I'll look into it and give you the answer, they simply say this is how it has been done, and this is how it will always be done. I hope I am not like that.
Angel Yes. You brought up a good example of chaaliswan. Pakistani Muslims have added so much stuff to Islam and made it even harder. Parents believe just because a book is published in Urdu, it's true because thousands of people read it and they know better than us. If it was wrong, they would bring it up and it would not be in the book. But just because more people are doing the wrong, that doesn't make it right.
