Definition Of Muslim
My basic question is for a general muslim including children as well… if I may ask if you are a place where another person having claim to be muslim also present and he asked to explain Islam then what will you do? You object and tell your version of Islam? Yes Islam not give us leverage to segregate muslim and non muslim but do Islam allow someone to claim to be a Muslim while denying khatum e nabowat? Infact denying khatum e nabowat is denial of quran itself. Secondly in life we define rules and regulations not to cross boundaries agreed to keep life/state in organized way then why we cannot define a definition of muslim? Do we hesitating on doing so giving weight to people claim otherwise… yes let not decide muslim or non muslim but at least give a clear picture to someone to judge himself on some define rule to his own clarity and faith… what if I may ask you do you not know how important to believe in khatum e nabowat to being a muslim? Then why not formulate for those who not knew Islam that much and can be distracted easily by someone because of lack of knowledge. There are a few that go for thier own correctness and a majority follow blindly. If as per your reply share appropriate information to the child when asked then why not instead of just information a rule defined to make it clear to anyone asked or not that who is to be true muslim… BTW I faced similar problem when I was kid and no one was there to clear me this question. It’s only blessing of Allah who protected my faith and I passed that phase but there are many not even youngsters that are facing such problem… I had studied community of concern closely and they are organized and not left their youth on thier own. They prepared them and ask them to distract normal Muslims kids and youngsters… The difference between Shia and Sunni is not question of faith and believe… if a Shia or Sunni present at one place they not preaching different Islam. Lastly if you are saying different Muslims have different beliefs then are you sure u r OK if someone go and turn to Ahmedi/Qadyani as after all they are muslim as you speaking? What if Christian and Jew start calling them Muslims as they believe in Allah and their beliefs in rest of the preaching of Islam is different? I have not posted question just seak of discussion but to take up to do something for betterment of muslim and serving Islam. Only those are entitled to called Muslim who believe in oneness of Allah and Muhammad the last prophet PBUH… that is basic believe and definition of a Muslim…
