Islamic values and Western 'culture'

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I would recommend Muslims who live in West  not to adopt Western culture also because it is overly materialistic. Most people there practice religion merely as a pastime, if at all. General conception amongst people there is that religion is an impediment to progress. That has more to do with their experience with their religion, Christianity. Once, Christianity even forbade Western explorers to investigate if the world is round. Christians progressed as they broke the shackles of their retrogressive religion. In fact, number of atheists in the West is rapidly increasing.

Muslim experience has been much different. Muslims prospered when they were firm in their faith, they fell after they began to take their prosperity for granted and forsook their religion.
