Loyal to God & to the Country
Administrator on February 9th, 2010
In a recent interview, Imam of Makkah Masjid, Qari Asim spoke against extremism. Qari Asim said that Islam holds the sanctity of human life in the highest possible regard. Allah tells us in the Quran that to kill one innocent person is akin to killing the whole of humanity [chapter 4, verse 32].
Qari Asim said that Muslims should be loyal to their religion but that does not mean that they cannot be loyal to Britain. Part of Islam is that a person is loyal to the country in which he or she lives and that he or she abides by the laws of that country.
Islam places a moral responsibility on a person to be committed to the general wellbeing and common good of the larger society to which he or she belongs.
