RE: Scholars, Scribes, and Statesmen: Story of Umayyad Education [ENG-URDU]

Dear @dlmmqb !
I don't know about Sharia and six-year Alimah course in Islam!

The average East Asian remembers that in Pakistan, in a Muslim family, it is not allowed for a family member to be of a different religion!

Can you tolerate someone in your family who does not share the Islamic faith?
If my question offends you, I will delete it!
Thank you for kind answer!😃

Sort:  

Sharia: Moral/Religious Code and it's purpose is To provide a guide for daily life and ethics.

Alimah Course: Advanced Degree and it's purpose is To train women as experts and leaders in religious knowledge.

If my question offends you, I will delete it!

Don't worry, I watch enough family guy episodes to not get offended. ALBERT-HU-AKBAR!!! LALALAALLALLAAAALA

First of all, I would be more likely to be that "someone" compared to anyone else in my family. When I think about it, it is very hard not to think about God. Which God is another story, but the concept of God seems wired into our brains.

I am writing this hoping it answers your question in an indirect way. There was a Hindu shopkeeper nearby, and when he first opened his shop, I made a point to buy my daily items from him so he would not feel left out or face any discrimination. After many months, however, he became lazy and slow, and his stock dwindled, so I switched back to my main shopkeeper. But I supported him intentionally at the start to give him a push despite the circumstances.

This might also help: the online friends I talked to most between 5th and 10th grade were two atheists, one from Australia and one from Poland. We talked about everything openly, and their beliefs never got in the way of our friendship. Looking back now, though, I would probably have been better off not spending all that time with internet strangers on Skype! xD

Most East Asians remember that in Pakistan, converting Muslims to other religions was prohibited!

I am a Christian, but I don't mind if my family members have different religions!
