Re: Secular?
I haven’t your full reply, but this thing caught my eye.
QA may have drunk alcohol at some point, but I don’t think he continued with it.
His grandson is not a Christian but a Parsi. He is Parsi because QA’s daughter married a Parsi man. QA disowned her after this marriage. He even stopped calling her his daughter.
In short, QA may be a secular man, but he was Muslim.
