[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read about a new, water-permeable nail polish that is taking the Muslim world by storm. But I do think God is concerned about other things than whether a woman is wearing nail polish.[/quote]
Well, what you think is irrelevant unless God Himself told you that, which I doubt  :idea: [/quote]

That was unecessary, dear poster. I'm not Muslim like you, so I don't need to accept the ritual pillars in the Qu'ran (Haj, ritual washing, fasting, others) as God's commandments to me.

I'm religious but I agree that religious people need to focus more on how we treat others (the poor, trying not to hate people who are different from us, and that's just a start) and less on checking off boxes about what we eat, how we wash, and other rituals. I can see how people believe these ritual aspects bring God into their daily lives, and that's important. But there's a risk of thinking that checking these ritual boxes makes you a "better" person, especially relative to other people you start to look down on because they are eating the wrong thing or something, and I think the nail polish issue is a case in point.

In any case, I have read the Qu'ran and there's nothing in there about nail polish, obviously, so I'm not clear why the permeable nail polish can't be worn all day.[/quote]
