hi dears brothers and sisters from everywhere! please answer this tow question: 1. how do you identify the word religion? 2. what do you think the purpose religion is meant to serve basicly?
1. I am Muslim 2. I think Allah creates us knowing of a Creator and of spiritual things, but the world is not spiritual, so it creates a longing in us, and all world religions are meant to fulfill this longing for a spiritual connection
thanks brother for responding to this post.. but the first (1) is yet not answered.. the word "religion" in Arabic pronounced "Deen" how do you explain its meaning linguistically? thanks again brother..
2: to encourage people to WANT to avoid causing suffering. 1: any belief or collection of beliefs, shaired by two or more creative awairenessess. =^^= .../\...
Sorry brother, I misunderstood the question The english word "religion" stems from the Latin word religionem meaning respect for what is sacred I know in Arabic "deen" means path or way, I also know Arabic comes from Aramaic, and the Aramaic word for way, path is dina I hope I have answered your question
hi brother.. there is no need to be sorry.. you did well as best as you could.. but more answers complete the picture.. thanks..
thanks brother themnax.. but religions have certain beleifs to serve and some of them are different for religions are different. can you tell us more about your beleif so can touch more the purpose of religion through its beleifs.. right?
I beleive the Arabic word "deen" is use dto describe religion, because it is the perfect descriptor, especially Islam, To submit to Allah, to obey Allah, and to be a slave to Allah, as all Muslims are to be, I don't think there could be a better word, definantly not in English
