That's very true.

I dont know why some people try to bring God into every place when he is already there. Dont they trust in his powers?

Question: Are religious education lessons somehow considered a threat to secularism?

Not religious instruction where they teach you how to be a good Christian or something, just education, where they teach you about other religions.

A good human being is better than a good Christian, a good Muslim, a good Jew, a good Hindu or a good Budh. A good Christian may good for the Christians. He may also be nice to others only for the sake of Christianiti. Same goes for the relgious persons from other religions. But a good human is good for all humans. Therefore instead of teaching religion in schools, humanity should be taught in schools all over the world.

O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allâh is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. one of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2). Verily, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

[Qur'an 49:13]


[SIZE=-1]Taqwa: piety, "God-consciousness." Taqwa involves constant awareness and remembrance of Allah, and conscious efforts to adhere to His commandments and abstain from whatever He has forbidden.[/SIZE]

This is a beautiful verse of Quran but it has nothing to do with this topic. Please dont try to hijack a serious topic with old tricks. The verses of Quran are for you to learn something. Dont use them to teach lessons to others.

I'll quote it since we're discussing the topic of who the best type of people are in the sight of God, and by the way - please learn some respect.

Only God knows which people are the best in eyes. He gives them respect in the world who he likes and gives disgrace in the world who he doesnt like. Not very long ago Europeans were disgraceful people in the wold when they used to bring Gods name into every thing. Now it is a few people from some Asian countries who want to supress everybody using Gods name.

Peace

thats where youre wrong. lets take islam for instance. islam isnt that we go worship 5 times a day in the Masjid and thats it. it is being a muslims 24/7 in school at the workplace at home when sleeping ALL that time.

You must consider yourself selfish only when you dont help other human beings. You should trust in God that God created all human beings with a nice and helping heart to share pain and misery of others. If you dont know this than you can call yourself an ignorant. You can know about the feelings of human hearts even when nobody teaches this in school. Just make good friends and love others. Your love and sincerely would be reciprocated. People learn about these excellent human qualities from their personal experiences.

It is Allah who has been ever merciful to allow that feeling to exist in the hearts of people. Why should his favours be denied by forgetting him?

Yeah, but then students are in the dark about the religions their peers are following, and their ignorance might hamper their inter-personal relationships.

I think I'll make a new thread about this rather than derail this one.
