[quote]<p align=justify> [b] Cultural traditions have their own importance in every religion and these should not be sacrificed except when a person feels himself helpless and he finds there is no other way out. The objective of Islam is the purification of soul. Cultural traditions help a lot towards the fulfillment of this objective. <b/> <p align=justify> None can deny the improtance of cultural traditions in culturing one life. But I am unable to understand how the cultural traditions of the pagan Arabs could have helped a lot in fulfilling the objective of purification. Did Islam change them all and replaced them with better ones which are helpful in attaining purificatoin? A study of early history and growth of Islam would reveal that there is not much that was replaced in cultural traditions except for purely religious traditions. Is not some new cultural values able to bring betterment in currect state of affars. For example Muslim women have come to know some of their rights which were not being given to them previously expecially in indian societies. You can no more beat your wives when you feel like and youcannot force your daughters into marriage without their free consent. Should these positive elements from new cultural values be condemned merely because these are imported? [/quote]
