Default Being a Muslim is important, not 'being a man'
"Being a man". What does this mean;" being a man"? There is "being a Muslim", "being a servant to Allah", "being a person Allah would like", there is "gaining the approval of Allah." What does "being a man" mean? That is a very elasticated word "being a man". One should ask "want does being a man mean?" Then you should be talking about something without limits or boundaries. Is being a man a religion, a philosophy or a belief? If it is a religion, what kind of a religion is this? If it is a philosophy, what kind of a philosophy is it? And "being a man" according to whom and what? One need to explain what is meant by "being a man". That is a very vague statement. But being a Muslim is a very explicit expression. If you say "I live for the approval of Allah," the meaning of this is explicit. But if you say "being a man", the rationale for being a man would be different for a Chinese, it would be different for a German and for a Turk. It might be different for a person in Kayseri and different for a person in Malatya, if one does not connect it with religion. If you do connect it with religion then why is there the need for such decorated words?
