Re: Why do the we say the Religion comes first?
Just like country, religion is also a superficial and worldly thing which was imposed upon you based on the place and parents you were born to. I can always switch my religion and my country if I want to. But I’ll never be able to switch my self, it will evolve and change gradually with time.
I rank humanity (self) higher than anything else, humanity (maanavataa, insaaniyat) is a very special word, it pertains to all the human beings in the universe and also to what one self believes one should do as a human (morality).
Religion can mean humanity if religion is meant to instill humanity in it’s followers and then it will rank high up with humanity. But not if you (yo_wasim) rank religion over country or everything else because it promises you heaven (http://www.paklinks.com/gs/showthread.php?t=221426&page=4). And I am not quoting you out of context here, you repeatedly cited that reason. And I was hoping in that thread that being a religious and learned person, humanity will be the first point you’ll quote.
Ideally, a religion or a country’s constitution should be based on humanity, but that does not happen in the real world.
Ideally no country should invade any other country.
Ideally there should not be any need of a country.
Ideally no religion should try to compete against other religion.
Ideally there should not be any need of a religion.
How can you go to heaven by blasting innocent people, no way.
