And-Series - the theory of the two Nations and its critical model in our modern times

A couple of years that I've been living in Germany, noting their culture, rituals, fashion, lifestyles, religion, thinking of his people and trends, etc. Before coming here, I took in a country that is observed by the people here and around the world as a land of terror, fundamentalism, etc.. Pakistan. But the reality is contrary to what is known by means of partial communication.

The two Nations theory is a main concept was originated by the reformer Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (1817-1898) in the subcontinent. It was the period (1600-1947) when the British still exploiting the resources of the beautiful land called "Sparrow". Wake auto and Muslim Islamic South Asia identification caused a realization of difficult lives among Muslim and non-Muslim civilizations and had perceived by this great reformer and led to produce two nation theory. He pivoted at the time conclude that these two Nations i.e. Muslims and Hindus can live together. Differences in the performance of life, thought and food, prayer, religion and the definition of righteousness, etc.... were the fundamental clauses of the theory. All these articles are based on Islam and Hinduism; and he originated the theory of the two Nations. In writing, it was not a new idea; for ages it's been clearly known that one day is separated by night; White is clear dark, vegetation and panoramic fascinate quite barren and deserted; a clean and dirty can not be the same; a wise and ignorant can not be respected equally.

Anyway in our modern era, the 21st century, same model prevalent in different ways. We can divide the civilized nations updated and called in two specializations. Religious and non-religious! I would like to take an example of Christian - Muslim - religious group! One can classified them as two Nations in theory. To model a simple assumption in theory is that they can not coexist harmoniously. Secondly, if there are some that try to integrate Islamic patterns then you have to be fully committed and willing to serve only to Allah, which is very difficult for the people of countries free and liberal!

In fact, how comes the inspiration to think that fire and water can be United. People who love animals, which is pleasant to a limit, and completely rejecting human feelings, and then thinking about the fact that they are on the right track and their God - Allah - will absolve their sins. Say openly, it is somehow an agreement within them and God to judge, but what if you know the right path and there is code complete written and revealed to us to follow! How foolish are even thoughts that the previous Scriptures and the Koran had been revealed in the full path, the light, codes of life and patterns of a happier life, examples to the understanding, wisdom, respect and guidance. You would like to recommend some of the people at times wonderfully asks me about the rescue in Islam, just read between the lines and pass through the translated version of the Holy Quran, if you can not understand Arabic. However, if they think that it is difficult for them to understand, and then take their own books, Bible... each verse is full of dignity and love for humanity and to worship only one God, Alá! But I am really surprised to see the contrasting effects.

Sometimes it is amazing for me to see some documentary programs on television in Europe. People scream and March out if an animal is abused or Islamic or biblical way for edible animal sacrifice (I am personally a vegetarian of certain principles of Islam while living in Germany)... and laughing or enjoy when they have prohibited relations before marriage or promote adultery and nudity - a cause of adultery - thinking that it is not a sin! Really I don't understand why these people be so blind to judge the way of living! Well, the reason is clear any due to "two nation theory". The blind cannot see and the observer may not describe the true image of sight to the blind. Just understanding and own feeling alone. Principles of the two Nations can never coexist in peaceful until that it crosses the one with the wrong side and they come right, accepting from the bottom of the heart, leaving one car behind.

Thus one can understand after summarize statistics on marriages between religions. I collapse mainly because one or both fall in the clauses of the theory of the two Nations. Both think they are in the right facts, in fact without any strong principle. Has been that "Looking woman with dog for a man with heart" somehow is the fault of the entire catastrophe but I would say that it takes two to make a match!

As example of the theory of the two Nations in Interreligious marriages in Europe were professed the husband or Muslim nickname whereas the beloved is either atheist, Christian or has become converted to Muslim calls to marry him. Both "love" at the beginning and after a while when the husband notes they were not attributable to Islamic principles, and awake conscience on Alá, in circumstances which led to live separately. The religion of one converted becomes useless and a source of laughter only! The husband becomes stronger in Islam, encourages others education and Islam contracts in order to achieve happiness in their lives.

The first wife nor returns to its past life of "freedom" as often seen in Europe or after a couple of years of his free-life who push the keyboard of my laptop feels shame... She starts again in search of "true love". The story continues, over and over again, many times with her! The sense of sin in this part of the world in some way is suppressed by teaching in the schools of the wrong religion. Well, personally I had noticed visiting some Christian School of thoughts that somehow are offering lessons perfectly according to the biblical commandments, but the implementation and application of these laws is very week due to the Government only the total personal freedom and independent living. Once I read in a book of "Jesucristo: The Real Story" where it was written that Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Jesus I like, but they do not know of his followers".

In any case! Least but not last, the two Nations theory exists independently of is old age, media or call our modern and civilized period of time. This will continue until the day of judgment when Alá held the accountability for acts that we do in this world. The question is only to understand peace a:, b: rights and duties in the home, c: adherence to religion without question or examination and his marital duties.

Being Muslim in Modern Day America

Islam is a way of life and a very simple one at that. It teaches piety, humbleness, peace, war, and chastity more things about life that I can think of. With all the stereotypes that circulate, it's hard for a Muslim to keep up with the who-said-what in this non Islamic country. Personally, I've heard my fair shares of "does Is that a pillow case on your head?" to "Are you wearing bomb strapped underneath your dress?" If anything can be said about Muslims, I should know the gist of the puns.

The ignorance of some non-Muslims is expected for the most part, that doesn't mean it gets any easier each time they come at us. It is tough because we have interaction with them every single day: work, school, bus, shopping and airplanes. They look at our customs as very foreign and not American. When we look at ourselves and see nothing wrong with our customs. We look at their customs and see contradictions all the time.

Take American television for example. If you could describe popular American broadcasts in a few words it would be sex, money, youth and homosexuality. The most popular shows in the U.S. have one of these characteristics or all four. That's not what the bible preaches and it's definitely not what our book teaches. Yet it's still here and popular to many Americans... including me. If this is what people are seeing and being fed since birth-no matter what religion or background-this is what they will end up engaging in as they grow older. How can you be a full blown Muslim if you have grown up here in America? It is not impossible but misleading. When I say misleading, there will definitely be many upon many obstacles, huge walls and tight barriers that you must get by to keep true to the Islamic customs. It is possible to adapt to the American ways while still engaging in Islamic tradition. Kind of like take the good and leave the bad.

You have anyone who lives in America ever wondered how we felt as non violent Muslims living on foreign territory? You have anyone ever asked themselves: how do Muslims in America who are not of the Middle Eastern descent feel about everything that's going on?

You have been cordially invited to take a peek inside the life of an African-American Muslim female. One of which who struggles with her identity between being a strong Muslim everyday who puts all her efforts into living here only for the next life versus living the American dream of riches and glam.

You may think we live normal lives... you have no idea. Every day we strive to do a little more than we did the previous day. Pray a little more. Give a little more. Cuss a little less. We are constantly trying to please and live our lives for mankind's creator. Unfortunately, we are still human and we have human urges just like everyone else. Do not think because we do what we do everyday does not mean we are not like the rest. We probably have more in common with non-Muslims than you think.
Human characteristics: lying, cheating, stealing, fornication, adultery, envy, lust, love and hatred. All things that we have done and you have as well. Our conscious is probably on the blitz while we are doing these things because we know we are going to get paid back for it either here or in the afterlife but it was still done by our own freewill.

So here's the big question: Why is it so hard to be a good Muslim when you happened to live in a non-Islamic country? There are a few reasons.

1. Born Into a Non-Muslim Society

I was born in Detroit, Michigan. My mother was not Muslim nor was she Christian. My father was a Mason and both never married. I don't remember much of my life before I became Muslim but I got the feeling that it wasn't what you would call to Muslim household. Around the age of six, my mother decided to convert to Islam with her three children. When I was growing up we had non-Muslim family member interaction, we had non-Muslim children coming to play with us, neighbors, grocery store clerks and the rest. Although, we did go to thousands prayer every Friday, only one day out of the week we got interaction with other Muslims solely. The rest of the six days it was my siblings and I against the foreign world. My mom instilled certain Islamic traits throughout the day but after that we went and watched non-Muslims on TV All these advertisements infiltrated our sponge like minds and shaped many of us Muslims who are today. We may not agree with it but it did have some effect on who we are in Islam.

2. Muslims Spend Alot of Time With Non-Muslims

I used to work a full time job. It was 44 hours per week. I was Manager at Walgreens Pharmacy. I spent anywhere from 8 to 10 hours per day there. I slept 8 hours per day and took an hour total to get to and from work. That left me about 5 to 7 hours of down time during those five days each week. The majority of my awake time had been spent at work, working and integrating with my non-Muslim colleagues. How does that make a person feel to spend the majority of their time working and fraternizing with people who have nothing in common with you? And because you're the minority you try your hardest to be less like a Muslim and more like them due to the pressures of "fitting in". Do They work and spend time with each other, why doesn't Muslim to get that same feeling of unity in the workplace? Why can't I pull another Muslim worker and say, "do hey, let's go pray on our lunch break?"

3 Wanting to Su to Fit In With the Rest

This coincide with the top example. We believe that if we fit in, it would be a lot
easier for us. But in reality we really just lose our identity. We are Muslim because we want to be. No one forced us to be this way. You don't have to act like a Muslim. Do But if that is the case then why do you claim it? I see the little Muslim teens on their way to school and instead of them wearing the Islamic wrap they look just like the rest of the kids. And it hurts me because they do not dress this way at home or in front of their parents but feel the need to be accepted by the rest. Children do not know the implications of not practicing their religion at a young age. For them not to wear Islam like a proud badge of honour is a disgrace. The goal is not to separate Muslims completely from other people or religions but to reinforce the religion throughout the day by being around other Muslims. No one wants to feel like an outsider.

Being a Muslim is a great thing for me because I have access to so many resourceful people of many different backgrounds. They come from all walks of life and diversity excites me as it does others that strive to be a well rounded human being. Staying true to ones religion brings about pride and a sense of well being like no other. We all want to belong to someone; something with Islam and I can say that we all feel this way about our religion. No matter what situation we are in that maybe un-Islamic or how many death threats, weird looks or snickers we will stand because the only entity that we must please God is strong.
