Have you now fully become Muslim? -
I have always been a cultural Muslim. Even during my kaffir transition I used to observe some basic Islamic practices/values due to nationalist reasons. But you don't need to be a muslim to admire this beautiful recitation.Originally posted by Akbar View Post
Nowadays I try to take it a bit more seriously. I am not a good Muslim for the record, but I am really starting to like Islamic conservative values and I prefer Islamic universalism over divisive nationalism."For thirty years, I endured much pain and strife,
I awaken the Ajam by this Persian [language]. "

A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
