Merging Japanese and Islamic Social Values

There has been a lot of talk among Muslims in Japan how great the Japanese social values are and how we, as Muslims can adapt to the local norms and ethics prevailing in the Japanese society to play a more active role in the society.

In fact, from Muslims’ perspective, there are two types of social norms in Japan. The first type is related to the customs which are  emphasized in Muslim societies as well. The other type  deals with the norms which are against the fundamental Islāmic beliefs.
