Over the past 6 months it's grown to be a popular accessory. I don't understand how some people can take something sacred and turn it into this..

They're running out of ideas. I've rocked my Dhikr beads for 3 years now

Hopefully not in a chauvinistic way.

Nah... it is a reminder to always have God in mind at all times.

I know that I always have God, I don't need to wear anything to remind me of that.

You sure about that? It's actually helps me a lot from sinning and even having sinful thoughts

I thought you were muslim?
medi are you christian?

I am muslim.

@illmortal: yes. I'm sure of that.

O. Im a christian.

So you probably wear a cross. For Jesus. But the rosary being worn as a fashion accessory, is worn by a lot of non-believers. It's just weird to see.

What do you mean?... Yes I'm Muslim...

As-Salaamu aleikum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatahu
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem
Allahuma Salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi ajma'een wa sallim

I dont wear anything. I dont even know what a rosary is.
Im also jewish. I have some jewish stars but I dont wear them. Or a yummica. I dont even know how its spelled.

So... you're a Jew for Christ?

Do you study/practice your religion? If not... then well you really shouldn't claim to be religious. No offense.

joseph probably got confused because when you say rosary, most people think of catholics...

Wa Alaikum As-Salaam

I actually agree with that.
I like to wear my roasarys that my mother has made for me because it keeps my language in check and and they are really beautiful pieces of art.

I highly dislike how its become a fashion statement because the rosary truly is a item that should be regarded with respect.

You're Christian and Jewish?


My mother has rosary beads, but she doesn't use them for religious purposes. She got them from her mother and aunt when they passed away... she keeps them for sentimental value, but never wears/uses them.

People wear necklaces with a cross on them... you can find those kinds of necklaces almost anywhere. Lots of people pray to the cross.

that's how i feel. i don't need to wear crosses and what not to have God with me. i do like them but i know it's not necessary. i'd like some rosary beads.

catholics also wear the rosary.

well yeah but someone above kinda made it sound like, or at least to me, that muslims only wear them

@ Tomates: It's not that it's not okay to wear it, if for the right purpose. Though, the fashion industry has made it okay to wear it, without any purpose is what makes me mad.

@ divergent: My point exactly. You shouldn't wear something sacred for fashion. Wear a hemp-necklace or something. ^_^

lol no no i know. I was just saying that catholics wear them also for the religious reason too.

lol if you're talking about me, I definitely didn't imply that. Even Jews have prayer beads
