What is more important for you, your Religion or your Country ?
What is more important for you, your Religion or your Country ? --------- आपकी नज़रो में क्या ज्यादा महत्व रखता है, आपका देश या आपका धर्म ?
Thanks guys for sharing your different different views,....
M srry that I had not cleared my point that I wanted to ask,.... actually some days before, I read a article on the famous Indian Freedom fighter - Jhansi ki Rani (Queen of Jhansi, Rani Lakshmibai),...
During the days of slavery (under British Raj) in India,.. their is a incident of "Queen of Jhansi"(their was a big time rivelry between Britishers and Queen of Jhansi),.. that once while fighting with British Army, the Britishers were goes on back foot and finally they ran back,.... but Queen of Jhansi followed them,.... when the British Army saw the Queen's Army following they hide in Mandir(Temple) and a Masjid(Mosque), coz they know that Indian's religious sentiments will not allow the army to destroy these two religious places.
Their was a Muslim Artillery man in the Queen's army stepped forward and prayed to Allah,"Ya Allah, to save my motherland I am going to destroy your sacred place", and he destroyed the Mosque with
m srry, if anybody feel offended .....
continuing the article :
Their was a Muslim Artillery man in the Queen's army stepped forward and prayed to Allah,"Ya Allah, to save my motherland I am going to destroy your sacred place", and he destroyed the Mosque with his Cannon....then he moved the Cannon face towards the next place which was a Hindu Temple,..but he stepped back as he don't had courage to fire towards the temple and he looked at his Queen,....Queen of Jhansi got his intentions and she stepped forwards with joined hands praying, saving Motherland is more important then Religion and she fired the bomb at the temple and destroyed it with her rivals.
In effect, Country always comes above religions and communities. The Nation's soil we nurture, its our moral responsibility to save it.
From this article I don't want to criticize or disrespect any person, country or religion,... I just want to know your views about the message given in this Article,......

Both are constructs made by man to divide humanity. The world would likely be a far better place without the labels of religion and country.

Hello,
This must be a challenging questions for many.
Perhaps one could use an illustration: when a plant is planted in soil, what is more important, the plant or the soil? Surely the plant must be, don't you think? The plant will grow in different soil.
So then, you are more important as a person than either the country or the religion you have been used to, either by nature or nurture.
Where did you get your life from? In the first instance from your parents who caused your birth, but where did they get their life from if you go down the whole tree of humanity? So, really speaking one should give the most important place in one's life to Almighty God, should one not? What do you think?
Kind regards, Günter

Yours question is something which is missing lots of thing. I can say country is what it is a land that means it is the world can you give the more important to the world then religious. That means you are worldly. Now come to humanity this country this human and all that exist is created by Gods and religious is one to be live in God and obey him. Do you think without any right reason God has allowed to war no. In fact the true person and most believe in God and religious never think any bodies wrong but he will try to stop wrong. So naturally the thing which teach you to live in better life and keep one away by sin i think the right person will choose religious. Now the question arise about the following and to choose religious and know this is a very big question and i know this answer but i think God has given every body mean of understanding so individual has to think and try to obey way. Who ever say the country i can ask question who had made you and to become the citizen of the country differently God and the rule of country is meanly made by the people so the to priority to religious is more than Country. Because God (religious) say to be good with all and to be good to yours country. Tell me which of the religious say to fight no true religious will say this if it is happen then their is a right reason if religious is true or their is miss understanding by the religious scholar. Therefore i don't want to make any confusion by use such question in my mind. I believe in God and i can say i prepare to chose right in place of wrong.

As Christians, we are called upon by the Fourth Commandment to love our country, respect its leaders, and obey its laws. However, we must remember that God is the source of all authority and his law supersedes any human decree. In an ideal world, there should be no conflict between Church and State; each has its own sphere of legitimacy and should not encroach on the other's domain. But, if the laws of my country commanded me to do something that was against my religious beliefs, I would have to refuse.

If I ask you you're man first or Indian first?

The Religion of God is Islam...
Islam comes from the root word ‘salaam’, which means peace. It also means submitting one’s will to Allah (swt). Thus Islam is a religion of peace, which is acquired by submitting one’s will to the will of the Supreme Creator, Allah (swt)
• The literal meaning of Islam is peace; surrender of one’s will i.e. losing oneself for the sake of God and surrendering one’s own pleasure for the pleasure of God.
• The message of Islam was revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings on him) 1, 400 years ago.
• It was revealed through angel Gabriel (on whom be peace) and was thus preserved in the Holy Quran.
• The Holy Quran carries a Divine guarantee of safeguard from interpolation and it claims that it combines the best features of the earlier scriptures.
I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammad is Allah's servant and His Messenger
Thank You

I'm an atheist expat so neither concept means very much to me.
I have to admit that since leaving Blighty I've grown more fond of it, probably because my memories are of the countryside, the cider, the wildlife, the music and my family, rather than Friday night in any godawful city you wish to name, fake democracy, sh*tty tabloids spewing bigotry and fear and the celebrity cult.

nicely I say that's entirely as much as you opt for. What do you like? God or your united states? i'm a Muslim, and that i do no longer want to sound like I"m asserting Islam is larger than the different faith ( admire all of them) yet in Islam you're allowed the two. you believe in God, Pray, placed as much as Him, all of that. yet once you die for the risk-free practices of your united states, you at present bypass to Heaven. and likewise in case you die for a kinfolk member or sturdy chum you bypass to heaven, yet that doesn't answer your question in any respect. :D desire I helped!!

Do not superimpose the words one over another. They are like shelter and food with separate identities required for our survival.
