Discovering Deen & Religion Differences

This video describes the difference between deen and religion. Usually Deen and religion are thought to have the same meaning but there is a difference between the two. Its actual meaning is a complete code of life and system of obedience. It includes complete guidance for different parts of life such as beliefs, prayers and ethics.

The Holy Prophet (pbuh) said “Deen is the name of reward of good and bad”. (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen says about Deen:

Deen covers every type of worldly matter whether Individual, collective, political or social.
Deen means to strive to recognize man’s essence and work hard to attain that level.
Religion does not have an exact defined state due to difference in beliefs and practices and its scattered form.

Professor Liaquat Ali Azeem says about Deen in his book “A comparative study of religions”: Religion is a path to walk on”.
Alfred North Whitehead writes, defining religion: “Religion is a case of decision. It is identified and understood by practical reasoning. Meaning we should do certain things or act in a certain way.
A religious scholar defines Deen as:

Deen is a collection of six things: Belief, prayer, cultural norms, financial, economic and political system.
