The Math

Wanna see what you got? Just have a look at your answers and use the following guide:

Mostly A’s

You seriously need to chill!

Islam is not meant to be as strict as you’re making it out to be. Remember that Islam is a religion of moderation and is better spread through kind words and actions than by a black-and-white, zero-tolerance approach. Your attitude will make people run away from Islam!

Mostly B’s

You’re a Moderate Muslim.
Wow! It seems like you’ve managed to strike the perfect balance. You know from ‘right and wrong’ and you don’t enforce your views on others or judge them. You use wisdom in your approach.
Mostly C’s

Shame On You!!!

If you have no shame then do as you wish, it does seem as if you’re doing as you wish. I suggest you go and read up on the modesty showed by our Prophet and the modest religious men and women in Islam. Modesty and shame is an important branch of Islam, if you’re lacking in modesty then your lacking in Islam too. You need to sort yourself out and purify your inner-self.

None Of The Above

If most of your answers don’t fit A, B or C then that means you’re not a radical or a shameless person but at the same time you’re not a guy/girl who fully follows and practices the teachings of Islam. You need to improve yourself and try to be like B.
