Which standard of "religious" are you?


Bismillah.

Salam and greetings,

So I was listening to a sermon during a Friday's prayer few weeks back and I recall wanting to write about it here but well, time's a constraint so too bad. Anyway, here's a statement that is still vivid:




There are 2 standards of being a "religious" person:

1) The more Islamic knowledge you possess, the more "religious" you are.
2) The more spiritual you are, the more "religious" you are.

Upon mention of these hypothesis, I was pretty intrigued by it and I somehow subconsciously had it repeated in my head for a few minutes and consequently, it's pretty much etched in my brain. Haha.

So, which one are you? Or maybe none fits you? Lol.

Anyway, I put religious in quotation marks because there are many ways to interpret that term. I'm not being sarcastic or pointing fingers to anyone, it's just.. yeah, sila tepuk dada tanya Iman;

Are you alim OR warak



WAllahua'lam.

P/s: The term "alim" is very commonly misinterpreted and thus its usage is well, also wrong most of the time.
