- Respecting other faiths while maintaining our identity - Islam teaches us to respect other faiths and to recognize social pluralism, more so when it comes to the people of the Book: the Jewish and the Christian community.
- At the same time, Islam teaches us to maintain our identity and not to dilute our values or our identity. This applies more when it comes to religious rituals and practices.
- Quoting Sura Kafirun
- Migration and hijrah come with the challenges of integration. On the level of ‘aqidah and religious rituals, we should not mix and match things – we should maintain our religious identity
- In cultural issues –for example, clothing and food– there is room for adapting the other ways as long as it does not conflict with the laws of Islam.
