Religion is institutionalized spirituality

Any form of organized institution loses its openness and freedom.
You seek truth in religion and truth takes priority over consquences.
Religion helps us deal with what is most important to the human spirit: value, meaning, purpose and quality.
Islam does not offer advice as "packet rules" as that one should either obey them to the full or not at all. This is completely an out of Islam type of understanding and commentary.
The religion of Islam is no means in the monopoly or in the registration of any person, any commmunity or any institution.
There is no people's class of religious authority in the religion of Islam, no body is required to follow anyone besides the Prophet.
Pressure or compelling gives rise to hypocrisy and therefore not tolerated in Islam.
Each person practises as much of them as he can to his benefit and the remaining his own loss.
Religion has nothing to do with governments and regimes. It holds persons individually responsible directly towards the Rasul Mohamed Mustafa aleyhassalam.
