Love the Place(Country) where u live.
by AIM on Aug 31, 2006 02:20 PM

I love my country, and when time comes I will lay my life if required to protect it. This is what Islaam teaches us to do. Islam says, do not give the sense of worship to anybody but Allah(God, The Bramha, The Vishnu, The Maheshwara, these are the attributes of the creator). We can be pardoned of every sin if Allah Wishes, but Allah will never forgive us if we compare anything or anybody with him.This is the core of our Religion.

Coming to the National Song, we do not have any objection to just sing,but singing just from outside does not stir your emotion of patriotism, u have to sing it with heart, but when you do,we knew some verses compares a piece of earth with the creator of it.That we can't do.

Besides we do not need any song or slogan for patriotism, we already have the feel of it, and we got that thru islam(based on few u can judge all). I am not telling that other religion doesn't speak of patriotism, they do. But they too never compare a piece of land against the creator. Nowhere in the Vedas or Puranas it is written to worship an image, Idol or something which draw a picture of it in ur mind.
