He or She or they if you like.

Answer 1

Yes, although I do not know what a few of them mean.

Answer 2

The problem is in the thinking that you can be good. It is good to do those things, but that doesn't mean that you are good. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Islam does not provide:
Salvation
The Truth
God's Will
Divine Inspiration
God's Blessings
Jesus's Atonement
A Place in Heaven
Eternal Rewards
Guidance by the Holy Spirit

You miss out on so much!

Answer 3

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law...

Honestly some of these principles are fine and some of them are frankly ridiculous, "He follows the Islamic etiquette when he sneezes" and "He does not imitate women" are particularly daft. I mean I'm no Transvestite but I'm fairly certain you can wear a dress and be a good person.

Answer 4

that's just too picky! It started off good but then got a bit silly - like:"he mixes with people and puts up with their insults" and "he avoids yawning in a gathering as much as he can" - that's Petty. Often the reason people rebel is because they have been weighed down with too many rules and regulations.
I'm a prime example!

Answer 5

Most of these principles I live by. Contrary to popular opinions, Jews, Christians, and Muslims (all being children of the Prophet Abraham) follow essentially the same principles.

Answer 6

i feel your question is misleading
you start by saying

whatever your religion

you clearly mean the islamic


i feel a religion that says you should avoid yawning in a gathering to be very dogmatic
not rejoicing in the misfortune of others i wonder how many rejoice at the death of those caught up in suicide bombers if death is not misfortune what is

Answer 7

Doesn't that all just add up to 'be a good person and respect others'? That's how I try to live my life and I don't feel I need a prescriptive religion to tell me what I can or cannot do! I also don't need it rammed down my throat thank you.

Answer 8

A principle is useless if it is applied improperly. Apply it to honoring your mother, apply it to glorify yourself, apply it to honoring a false god, apply it for no other purpose than that it just sounds right and you've done nothing of eternal value. All works, whether good or bad are just works apart from God.

Answer 9

We,as in my household, live by this, respect all, and harm none, can't go much wrong with this, its really not neccessary to force people into what you believe,I am not sure if what you are saying are really principles or doctrine

Answer 10

Way too specific!!How about 'Thou Shall not be a Weenie to thy fellow Human Being, for by virtue of them being Human, they are entitled a basic level of respect.."

Answer 11

Nobody is arguing about these principles. But why do you feel you have to ram them down everybody's throat? Why do you think this is the ONLY way to live?
