But thats not exactly the word 'religious' entails in true sense of the word. It means someone with a transformed heart with love of Allah. He leads by example, not force. He imposes Islam on himself, not others. hes neither proud nor boastful, but gentle and well mannered. he cares about others more than he cares about himself. As Maulana Rumi once said, "divine love transforms silver into gold", so people who went through such a transformation have become religious in true sense of the word. and when you meet such people and spend some time with them, you fall in love with their personality regardless of your level of relgiousness.

I think you don't understand. a very religious man would want me to live to his standards. a very religious man would not be happy with my uncovered hair and fitted clothing. those are things I neither want to change nor debate over.
two people have to be suited to each other.
