I was wondering: Is it more important to be true to oneself or to something perhaps known as conformity in another world?
What does the word 'conformity' mean to most Muslims? Does the concept exist even, in the same way that it does in the west?
And how much should one allow one's upbringing to govern one's beliefs?
What 'seems' to feel right is very often what one considers to BE right - is that true? Is it right?

What happens to one's 'thinking mind' if one decides to surrender to the Koran? Would one need a clear concept of Allah in order to do so?

Is life simpler without questions?

Should Muslim children be taught about 'other belief systems'?


Anyone?

well, basically if yu mean 'conformity' as in following the rules or standards of the society we live, No, Muslims don't believe in that, we surrender our will to Allah, and if any ethics of the society goes against the Quran, we refuse to participate. And I will give yu an example the conformities of the society change throughout the world, with the level of modesty,
I will give yu an example, In India women wear the traditional dress called "Sahrii" and the way it is designed is, if a women wants she can expose her belly but to the standards of their society, that's being immodest.
But in the West there are ships where there are nude beaches, and nude cosines and wearing clothes there is immodest, the standards of the society is just made by men, without the light of any revelation, sometimes it is to fulfill their lust, we muslims have our own standard of societies and which have been given to us, neither they are too harsh, neither they are too soft, rather they take the medium path.
