Ya Samie in Islam i know this is Sinfull, what i want to say is she has her own ways of remembering Allah and Christ . She may not follow all customs - do's & don't till the hilt .......but that doesn't make her wrong in the eyes of that god she believes in . It may make her wrong in the eyes of another Muslim ......but not to her .
I as a half Sikh - Half Hindu i do million things thats forbidden or not allowed . example - i recently gave up smoking , smoking is forbidden in Sikhism . I cut my hair too !! Hinduism fortunately hardly has million do's and don'ts so i don't have to worry about breaking rules there !!đ
And to be honest to ME religon is a guideline . I don't like to follow every thing thats written in Ramayan or Guru Granth . I mean i question god because i am from two religons . I question what Ramji did to Sita !!!!!!
This may shock you !! Because i know must Muslims don't dare question anything the prophet had done or said .
But in my heart i love my Waheguru ji and Shiv ji . I pray to them. Be a good person . Try to follow the essence of my religon ( which is a essensce of all religons i think).........1) Be a good human being ......do not hurt a person or animal !!
2) Not to steal .To do good deads like help others , make donations , do charity , etc etc .
And if god is still displeased with me , when i meet him i'll apologise. Maybe your classmate believes in reaching her god through being a good human being and not caring about these things .
To you and many other Muslims its not enough to be a good human( I remember reading that in Shahrukh khan debate). .........many belive that to be a good Muslim one ought to read Namaaz , keep fast and do the things that are told to you as per Quran.
But maybe her sense of religon says that as long as i am a good human being , a believer who prays to god ............thats enough .
In my opinion she has the choice of best of two worlds ..........choose what you love about Islam and Christainity and drop what you are not to comfortable with in I & C !! ( like međ)
