Cultural Identity and Faith
The blending of cultural identity with faith poses a challenge for Muslims, particularly when relocating to new environments. It is essential to distinguish between faith and cultural practices to preserve authentic religious practices while adapting to diverse contexts. The interaction between culture and religion can lead to confusion, especially when cultural elements conflict with Islamic principles. Therefore, maintaining a clear understanding of the core tenets of Islam, separated from cultural influences, is vital for genuine religious practice.
