Islam And Culture by chiefImam2: 8:12am On Jul 17, 2010 |
As-salaamu alaiykum fellow Muslims. Pls. I will like us to share ideas on what Islam say about culture. When I say culture, I mean your country's culture, your tribes' culture. Also does Islam has its own culture, if yes, what are the cultures of Islam. Thanks. Wa alaiykum Salaam. |

The do's and dont of the Quran and ways of life of the prophet(PBUH)in the Ahadiths summarises the cultures of ISLAM,wa lekum salam |
Re: Islam And Culture by asim11: 6:52pm On Jul 17, 2010 |
But uplawal, what about our country's culture, and our tribes' culture |
Re: Islam And Culture by Nobody: 8:49pm On Jul 17, 2010 |
Islam encourages our culture,but is against any part of them that is against the SHARIA(Allahs laws and the sunnah of the prophet(pbuh),e.g,maidens that wears short wrappers and strapps to cover their image,mostly in the eastern part of Naija.and many more,infact ISLAM is the only religion that promotes family bond,not the western stlye of "me and my husband alone",thereby creating hatred on the west side,which ofcourse was copied by our own indigenous people and strenghtening love amongs the whole of muslims |
Re: Islam And Culture by asim11: 5:39pm On Jul 18, 2010 |
how about prostrating for my parents or my elder ones |
Re: Islam And Culture by Nobody: 11:43pm On Jul 18, 2010 |
I don't think Islam is concern about how you greet your family, Else I'll be asking the rhetorical question @which kain religion be this islam sef or are you moslim delude? just wondering! |
Re: Islam And Culture by Nobody: 12:48am On Jul 19, 2010 |
@asim,asalamu alekum,you dnt prostrate to anybody be it your parent except Allah,but some people do it probably cos they are not aware is not acceptable in ISLAM,but a real practicing muslim will never prostrate to no one,you can only greet by bending a bit or handshake for men is prefarerably,like me on my wedding day, i dnt get my knees down to greet or to accept anybodys prayer,everyone was just looking at me as if am arrogant,even they had to like talk about it indirectly when it was advicetime,but i dnt have to owe anybody explanation cos they are not even ready to listen at the end of the day |

asim 1: There are many ways you can be respectful to your parents and elders without going all the way down. Your respectful attitude towards them, your general countenance, care, humility and all that Islam teaches are enough to give. If you're humble in all ways and carefully explain why you wouldn't go all the way (that prostration is for Allah alone), I bet they'd understand and take you the way you are and even use you as a model for others. This is what I do and it's working for me, even amongst my in-laws. |

Re: Islam And Culture by miftaudeen(m): 11:01am On Apr 30, 2011 |
@chiefimam,its depend on hw u relate with ur parent.if u are a gud child 2 ur parent dey will not ask such even if |
Re: Islam And Culture by miftaudeen(m): 11:33am On Apr 30, 2011 |
if they ask u,dey will not take it as serious matter and later overlook it. |
Re: Islam And Culture by chiefImam2: 5:55pm On May 01, 2011 |
miftaudeen: miftaudeen: My brother in Islam, there are some parent who are so much kin on their 'land culture', they will say i want you to always prostrate for me, either you like it or not, you must do it; sofar they didn't ask you to do SHIRKU BI LLAHI. |
Re: Islam And Culture by miftaudeen(m): 8:33pm On May 01, 2011 |
it is better 4 a person 2 offend a person than to offend ALLAH,cos prostration 4 other than ALLAH is forbade in islam. |
Re: Islam And Culture by congoshine(m): 4:14pm On May 04, 2011 |
Its indeed sad and clearly shows the extent religion can wipe out any otherwise reasonable human being's sense of reasoning. How can anyone say as a Youruba man (for instance) ,I am not supposed to postrate as my culture expects to my elders ,especially my parents ?? We take these things to the extent ,one begins to wonder what is the point of importing foreign culture under the guise of 'divine religion'. No wonder people can tell you what happened in makkah & Jerusalem in the 7th century ,but have absolutely no idea who Ajayo Crowther is ,talkless of Oba Kosoko , Oduduwa ,Eri(for Ibos),bayyajida(hausas). Really sad indeed. Sorry for this country that has nothing of its own except that which was imported .(Food,clothes,music,culture,language etc) |
Re: Islam And Culture by miftaudeen(m): 9:25am On May 05, 2011 |
that is our religion(islam) 4 us,adage of yoruba says "idobale kin se iwa"being prostrate does not make u a gud person. |
