Introduction 19> Islam is a universal religion
Islam is a religion that brings compassion and guidance to all human beings in the world, despite their different cultures, customs and traditions. Allah says: "And We did not send you (Muhammad) except to show mercy to the world." (Bible reading: 21:10)
That is why Islam respects all its cultures and traditions, and Islam does not force any Muslim to change his traditions or cultures, except those cultures or traditions that are contrary to the laws or rules of Islam, and that which is contrary to Islam must be abandoned, because Allah, who commands us, knows all things, and when we believe in Him, we must obey Him.
And be aware that all Muslim traditions that are not related to Islam or Islamic law do not need to be imitated. On this whole earth as a place of worship to Allah, Islam considers that everywhere on earth we can live and worship Allah. In Islam, it is not possible, and through their guidance, those deeds will become worship to Allah Almighty as it is a requirement of life and a real element of life. Indeed, Muslims worship all kinds of devotion to Allah, as Allah said: "You (my Prophet Muhammad) said: Indeed, my salutation, my animal sacrifice, my belongings, and my death is for Allah, the Lord of all." (Bible reading: 6: 162)
