Bismillah
salam reepi,
You will be surprised, I agree with u on this concept. If this reminder is really originally adjusted from a Christain source so is the other one, I fully agree with u. Because Alhamdulelah, we have enough reminder sources to use that could last us forever.
Actully I read this same reminder long time ago on an email, I didnt see it as such, didnt feel it as such, may be the only word that may fit the description u say is the word a Preaching. We dont preach in Islam, but we do Dawa.
But the intention is good, and we are not imitating the Kufar. Thank u reepi for being concerned. The posted would be imitating the kufar if he/she was calling to join parties where alcohol is served even for a good cause, or to join a church function for example just to introduce oneself as fiting with the community..etc. This is what imitating the kufar is, not posting a message calling to give time and effort to reading Quran and praying. Unless u read the Quran and go to Masjed reepi. :)
