We, the muslim community, are unnecesarily entangled in the religious issues more than some other important issues related to life. We as a society are lagging far behind in education. We need to improve our society in education. Secondly the standard of living of our society is very poor. There are very few muslims who are filthy rich but they are very few. Percentagewise 0.05%. The others are living way below the average standard of living in India. Our muslim brothers need to bring this society out of slums. Third important issue is of integartion with the society. Our people get isolated themselves unnecessarily showing they are different. No, we are same. If we give less importance to religion, we can achieve better things in life.

Fatima, your message is excellent and will remove most problems in Muslims, but see those two who responded to you were both Hindus. No Muslim is interested. The majority of them want to continue in their separatism and false sense of perfectness of Islam.

Very well said Fatima. We need many muslims brothers & sisters to come out of religious fanaticism and join the main stream. One of your sentence is great saying "We are same". Religious leaders and politicians have prospered by showing differences however humanity can grow only by showing how we all are same.

Absolutely correct. I visited more than 10 countries till date. Only in India people closely attached to religion. We need work more on education and poverty.

Fatima you are very correct, but how many of them can understand this fact? If they follow one wife/one child rule half of their problems will get solved automatically. Those who are rich Muslims, not doing anything for community they dont want to bridge the gap since they want N Numbers of labour.

Dear Dawa, Adding to your reply... if u take the latest survey given by govt of india. it is not Mulim community with the most number of more than one wife... but the Hindus you know the term (Patri Vivah).
Also, in muslim community... one can not just marry 4 women... there are some very-2 important rules to follow. If you read those rules , you will come to know that marrying more than one woman is a PROVISION and not the requirement. I also want to comment that there are some bad muslims (as in every community) who use this provision for wrong reason, means they are committing sin.

If they can teach thier all kid till higher education and give them a good life style. Then only they deserve many wifes. But truth is not so good. They are far away from good life style.
