Ok, while browsing through Beleife net (http://www.beliefnet.com) I came across this Quiz (http://www.beliefnet.com/section/quiz/index.asp?sectionID=10007&surveyID=108).

It would be intresting to see how do muslims members do in this quiz. Please do it and let us know of the result.

This what I got:

You are a traditional Muslim.
You are steadfast in your religion. The Qur’an plays a role in your daily life as a Muslim. You also look to the sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) as a way to determine how to live your life. You are constantly aware of your religious beliefs and are likely to spend time thinking of the larger Muslim Ummah and how to create more unity within it

You are a progressive Muslim.
You are a devout believer in God, and Islam is your direct path to Him. You understand Islam mainly through your intellect. You probably interpret Islam historically and might believe that ijtihad should be reopened. You have probably gone through years of questioning to come to the understanding of Islam that you have now. You might receive criticism for what are perceived as your open views.


This quizz seems to be for american muslims, but it's interesting!

thank you!

Sounds very true.

Thank you AP :) .

You are a spiritual seeker

Ibn Battuta traveled the Muslim world looking for answers. Like this famous traveler, you are also looking for answers and have also found yourself wandering through the world of Islam. The spiritual realm of Islam particularly appeals to you. You probably toy with the idea of Sufism and may enjoy reading mystic poets such as Rumi or Hafez. For you, Islam is a state of being that leads to your ultimate connection to God through your submission to Him. Although Islam often guides you on many practical questions, you are more likely than not looking to connect to God and others on a more spiritual level. Many of the social regulations or rules of Islam may seem daunting and unnecessary. You continue to have questions, as well as faith.

I think thats fairly true and I am happy with the result.

As said this is mainly for American Muslims ... but this is almost me :)

This is a political quiz, the US trying to see how many muslim terrorists around according to it's definitions.

And the first question is really stupid, otherwise who will ask how many times you read the Quran knowing that a muslim must pray otherwsie how can be a muslim if not praying (and reading quran while praying).

Which describes me perfectly. However some of the questions are misleading, for example the one about Jum3a prayer.. I am a woman therefore I do not attend the mosque and thus my answer would give the wrong impression.

lol you're funny Icey. There are a lot of muslims who don't pray all 5 prayers.. the ones who do are generally considered more diciplined ones than the ones who miss here and there or who don't pray at all.

umm something's fishy about these questions to b honest but anyway..this is wut i got:

Not bad I guess..

i tried ... i score 3 :rolleyes:
i got "secular muslim"
You are a secular Muslim.
You are a cultural or secular Muslim. You might identify yourself with the Muslim community, but like Kareem Abdul Jabbar, you have no problems with beer commercials. Islam provides you with more of a social setting or community than a set of religious beliefs. You may live by many of the basic principles of Islam, but you do not necessarily choose to attribute them to Islam. You are probably not too comfortable with many of the social restrictions often associated with Muslim organizations or societies.
