Example Story
Lets us look at the story of Juliana Yassin below:
________________________________________________________________________
Juliana Yassin professes to be a Muslim; who believes in god, prays occasionally, eats halal food, and fast during Ramadan (or tries to). She wore a head scarf in her youth and had gone on prehajj pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina. She has no doubt in God but she cannot accept certain Islamic teachings like a woman has to cover the aura. She currently lives together with her boy friend who is an Englishman. " I want my boyfriend to convert, but he does not want to and I don`t to force him," she said. She enjoys her life and plans to get married.
________________________________________________________________________
What does the story tell you? Its appears that Juliana is a Muslim in performing the obligation expected of her as a Muslim. However, it also seems that she is not following some of the teaching of Islam. However would we rate her as a Muslim? This means we will need to know what is meant by Islam, who is a true Muslim and the relationship between Islam, Imam and Ihsan?
