DEENTOUR 10 - CULTURE vs. ISLAM

Hussien, Osman, Osman
About this episode

In this episode we discuss the difference between culture and Islam. Too often the media, or our fellow Muslims or non-Muslims will mix up culture and Islam.

Islam is a way of life. A way of life perfected by Allah SWT and brought to us through a mercy to mankind and the most perfect of creation, Muhammad SAW.

Cultures, especially Arab cultures may be built on precedents of Islam, but no country runs on strictly Islamic law. Its often confused that what people "think" or what a "country" does can be associated with Islam, but that is not the case and we speak of that here.

We address peoples cultural bias, prejudice, and racism as it pertains to the topic among other things. We also bring in personal experiences to show more perspective of the situation and the gravity it holds when calling something Islam, when it is not.
