to a certain extent. Further approve that Islam is Islam, A great religion, whatever we follow is mixed of religion influenced by so many social, traditional and cultural factors.
PM's quote
"We follow our religion to the best of our ability. We read, think and study it -- or in the case of many we pick a scholar we want to put our faith in and follow what they say. Does that make any of us non-Muslims?".....
VB: Answer is No, as far as we do respect Sharia and Sunnah and follow....at our level best and have realisation in our hearts that we are weak in following 100% due to whatever reasons (cultural, traditional, or social)...is ok.
Denying the Islamic LAWS and Sunnah, will make a person Non-muslim (obviously that makes a person Believer or non believer).
In India, there is Muslim Personal Laws covering only social and family matters; while all other areas like criminal and military laws are not covered. In such cases, only Indian Penal codes would apply.
Nuh: The concept of Ahle kitab is acceptable as per islamic laws as Jews and Chritians are believing in ONE God and they are Not Atheist BUT today's muslim scholars urge to get convert them for better and clarity.
