That discriptive term was used on a different thread.

I have always thought Islam and Muslim described the same thing.

Is there a difference and if so, what are the differences?

Thanks

I M Tipu, this is the context the phrase was used in;
"hi all first of all malaysia is a muslim country and not islamic country"

I hope that helps.

Thanks

Actually

lot of muslim live in malaysia but i m afraid i can't call it muslim country
Bcoz the leader r not led their nation by the Holy Quran.
 
lol thats funny, becuz

ISLAM is our religion, so therefore we are MU islams = MUslims

like in english, if you talk, your a talker, walk = walker.....

in arabic its a prefix so its a MU islam, MU salah: (salah means prayer)

so a MU islam or a MUSLIM is one who submits to GOD...

MU salah , (since salah means prayer) ...is one who prays

I think in the context of this thread, a "Muslim country" is one that is full of Muslims. Malaysia is a Muslim country because the majority of the population are Muslims. It is not an Islamic country, in the eyes of many people, because Sharia is not enforced as some Muslims would like. An Islamic country refers to the ideal - which does not exist and probably has not since the 7th century and probably never will in my opinion - a Muslim country refers to the reality.
 
Ya and I think the same can be said about Lebanon. 75% are Muslims yet it does not implement any Sharia laws. Of course the president is Christian so I wouldnt expect it.
