BBC Thought for the Day

[rubiesand]

:sl:

As always repaying time given to listening to him, here is Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad speaking on BBC's Thought for the day, his subject - The role of people of faith should be to strive to preserve the local genius of British diversity, in the furthest hills and valleys of these islands.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

sis... please forgive me but im finding it a bit difficult to understand. Is the subject trying to promote the western culture ("preserve the local genius of british diversity")?

sorry just trying to understand inshaAllah :)

I don't think he's promoting Western culture, but commenting on regional diversity within Britain. For example, a Muslim who loves the Welsh language or another who takes a keen interest in local Scottish concerns - these are positive things, and not contradictory with being a good Muslim at all.
