    Halal and Haram are Islamic terms that refer to what is permissible (halal) and what is forbidden (haram) according to Islamic law, or Sharia. These concepts guide the behavior and choices of Muslims in various aspects of life, including diet, finance, ethics, and more.

    Activities like gambling and illicit relationships are also categorized as haram.

    Emaan is a heartfelt affirmation that is usually termed as believing in God, His Messengers, His angels, His scriptures, resurrection, and fate i.e. all good and bad is from Allah Almighty. Allah swt says in Quran Soorah Nisa, Verse136: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا آمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَRead more

    Emaan is a heartfelt affirmation that is usually termed as believing in God, His Messengers, His angels, His scriptures, resurrection, and fate i.e. all good and bad is from Allah Almighty.

    Allah swt says in Quran Soorah Nisa, Verse136:

    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا آمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا ‎

    (Believers! Believe in Allah and His Messenger and in the Book He has revealed to His Messenger, and in the Book He revealed before. And whoever disbelieves in Allah, in His angels, in His Books, in His Messengers and in the Last Day, has indeed strayed far away)

    A prerequisite of Emaan is to avoid all sort of doubts and suspicions, so Emaan can not coincide with the minor doubt.

    When we say about one thing that it is part of another thing, it ultimately means that the other thing is the origin and source of this thing. In this context, religion is definitely a source and culture is a part of it.

    The reason why religion takes precedence is the fact that it is a doctrine and complete guidance for mankind in their individual and collective spheres of life.

    Allah swt says in Quran:

    لقد أنزلنا إليكم كتابا فيه ذكركم لعلكم تعقلون

    (We have sent down to you a Book that mentions you -with all respects-. Do you not understand?)

    Culture is the name of traditions and customs that a society possesses based on their worldview and the way they looks at things.

    So in this scenario, it is evident that Culture is part of Religion, not the contrary. having said that religion has nothing to do with many practices that reflect culture, because religion considers human beings as intellectual beings and gives them space to use this faculty to take care of many matters on their own, Religion only sufficed with mentioning the general and principle rulings and restrictions they should abide by them in their polarities.

    Yes both of them could shape each other. but on the other hand, if the source of religion i.e. the religious scripture is secure and well guarded and there is no evidence of any variation or modification in it then it is impossible to conceive that the culture or any other human practice, tradition,Read more

    Yes both of them could shape each other. but on the other hand, if the source of religion i.e. the religious scripture is secure and well guarded and there is no evidence of any variation or modification in it then it is impossible to conceive that the culture or any other human practice, tradition, or custom can mold or shape it whatsoever, rather it dictates the culture and shape it accordingly.

    So since the Quran says: إنا نحن نزلنا الذكر وإنا له لحافظون meaning: (We have sent down this reminder and we indeed guard it)

    and there is no textual and practical proof so far of modification in the Quran.

    so that means its directions and rulings are safe, sound, and secured, and subsequently it deserves to be dogmatic over the culture and society and a source of light and guidance for them.
