It start with your faith , Do you believe that Islam is complete Religion and If it is complete then why do they add or subtract selfmade traditions in religion, If you don't follow religion then atleast don't corrupt it or don't mis-lead public, and you know mostly illiterate part of our society follow them, they lost their all of actual support among public due their typical double standard behaviour with religion and society. Yes, Who are we to judge? We are judging them for our own beneficiary, share with our friends so no one would be mis-leaded again by them, as they have history of spreading fake self made traditions in the name of Islam, Its more have become an effective way of earning money for them, and that same corruption is root cause of all problems in our country.
Good points.
Islam is complete as far as things like speaking the truth, being honest, being trustworthy etc. Belief in one God, And a belief that Mohammad pbuh is God's messenger.
Beyond that, how we dress, what we eat, how we talk, what languages we use, how we travel, how we pray is all part of traditions.
You pray with hands down or hands up or hands around your tummy.
You say takbir 3 times or one time
You say Ameen loudly or quietly
All these things depend on the region where you were born and more importantly the family your were born.
In this way Islam is pretty flexible.
Because if it was not flexible, it would not have appealed to anyone outside the Arabia desert.
For 100s of years Islam has evolved, changed shape, and constantly adjusted so as to be loved by people from all over the world,
It is only in recent dacades that Saudi and Irani version of Islam is trying to be the defacto standard.
And Taliban and Wahabis and iranian Shias are using violence not too different from Christian inquisition to force people to follow Saudi Islam or Irani Islam.
Becuase Saudi think their version of Islam is the "complete" one.
Iranians Ayatullahs on the other hand thing their version of Islam is the "complete" one.
And both Saudi and Iranians are wrong to force their versions of Islam down the throats of other nations and regions.
I hope you understand it now, Let's not start Medieval Christian style inquisition of our fellow Pakistanis just because we happen to follow Saudi Islam or Irani Islam.
