[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a perfected Muslim not a practicing Muslim.[/quote]

hahahaha no- that would be the bare minimum for many Muslims, it is certainly not perfect. The Perfect Muslim was the prophet and he was only a man, we all can follow that example. Praying in the deep hours of the night, reciting the Quran dn teaching it to others, keeping only what is necessary for life and giving the rest away, being scrupulously honest and not participating in a trade that extorts labor or capital.. the list of what it would take to be a perfect Muslim is not that simple.

a main difference between muslims and (catholic) christians is that we don't have "lay persons" we are ALL called to the religious life however  like the priests of the orthodox church, Allah has permitted us to marry and have children. in other ways, we are supposed to devote the majority of our time and life in the worship of God which is Mans' purpose in life. "We have not created Man and Jinn but that they may worship Me" that is one of the reasons that muslim women dress the way they do- and if you look at how muslim men have traditionally dressed- it isn't all that different from the women. My grandfather got into trouble when he began wearing "western clothes" with his shirt tucked in to his pants b/c it wasn't considered modest- its one of the reasons all those Southeast asian men wear safari suits.

Ridiculous.   Who knew God had a dress code.[/quote]

Also if "Allah" didn't permit people to marry and have children, there would be no more Muslims, so of course Allah permits this![/quote]
