We are both same time.Salaam
NOTE: This thread is not actually asking this question, rather it is ABOUT the meaning of this question.
Are you a Muslim first or a (insert your choice identity/belief etc)
This question seems to get asked a lot by people. I have heard this question asked on national television of political leader amongst countless other instances.
So what is this question supposed to actually mean? I just wanted to get a clear idea of what it is actually being asked here.
If you ask a person if they are a Muslim first or a Pakistani first - what are you exactly asking them?
Is the question, essentially, meant as a choice between
and,
- Renouncing Allah, His Messenger (pbuh) and the deen of Islam
?
- Renouncing the state of Pakistan
Like if it came down to chosing one or the other, is a person who says Pakistani first (as opposed to Muslim first) saying that they will be willing to abandon Allah, His Messenger and Islam for Pakistan?
Is a person a bad Pakistani if they say they are Muslim first?
What about the opposite of it?
Please treat this as a genuine question and answer accordingly - preferably without name calling and such.
Thank you
