corrected it for u
i can only say thank you but i prefer the simple words i used and i write to discuss and contribute and not to engage in competitions of "sabse pakka musalmaan kaun".
see, if we use pious phrases like "saw" and "pbuh", we also won't reach the hearts and minds of those non-muslims who have been told islam is oppressive and complicated and a burden.
islam was one of the steps in a long line of socialist movements and it will need to progress and evolve like any good idea, but it should be acknowledged that many aspects of islam are still relevant to modern places like south asia, like bringing justice and rights to indian female citizens, be they hindu, muslim, sikh or christian ( like this article's[1] writer )...
When we examine marriage laws in their historic context, it is interesting to note that the universally accepted notion that marriages are contractual rather than sacramental originates in Muslim law, which was accepted by the French law only in the 1800s and incorporated into the English law in the 1850s and became part of codified Hindu law as late as 1955. Today it appears to be the most practical way of dealing with the institution of marriage. Treating marriage as a sacrament which binds the parties for life has resulted in some of the most discriminatory practices against women such as sati and denial of right to divorce and remarriage, even in the most adverse conditions.
there are other ways of respecting the founders of islam than affixing pious words to their name.
