    f what would happen if every tom, dick and harry is given the moral and ethical authority and justification to interpret the quran for himself But actually we are given that authority. Or where does it say that only such and such a person can interpret or authorize interpretations of Qur'an. Everybody does it, even though they may think that follow somebody else. They follow that which arranges them most, whatever else they may tell themselves about their reasons. Or how do we know whose interpretations we should take as authoritative. Following somebody else's interpretations we only take an alibi for assuming our own responsibility. But in fact we are choosing. Salaam

    Thats cool, i live in Melbourne. I also have to say that God has the final say, not me. So if in the Quran(the good translations) it says that in some instances the justice department should execute someone than I can't argue. But I think that the Quran would proscribe that only in rare instances were murder/murders or treason has been commited. It is my understanding that those are the only times. There are also people who think that the verses on equality in case of a murder is prescribed means that everyone should be treated the same (equal) before the courts. Anyone think that the Quran doesn't say that or that the death penalty includes other crimes as well? Thanks

    The creator tests anything and EVERYTHING. Without doing this, we would not even have been here as evolution could not occur. If you want to find out as to which car is the best out of 100, you must give them all a test drive even if some of the cars have broken engines - there is the off chance that the fault in the engine could give it superpowers or something. For example, Daniel Tammet. The reason you are you and not anybody else is very simple. If you were anyone else, you would be them and not you. We are a product of the DNA sequences in our parents' sex cells, this + environment defines us. Of course this does not leave anyone fully satisfied because this is a very existential question. It's like asking why grass is green. Eventually all will be revealed.

    In addition, if this verse is understood in the traditional manner 1821 And like that We made known about them that they might know that God's promise is true and that the Hour there is no doubt in it. When they disputed amongst themselves about their issue, so said "Build over/upon them a building". Their Lord knows best about them. Those who prevailed on their issue said "Surely we will take (to ourselves) over/upon them a maSJD."

    If God isn't good then what promise do you have that paradise will be good? (I mean if God was bad, why would he create heaven at all? And why would the good people get to go there?) Again you repeat paradoxical questions...If you think God is 'bad', I don't see why you'd believe in him and still be taken seriously. Then again you really don't have to be. I was probably joking in that reply. Probably? Ah ok. When you do make up your mind, do let us know. And here I'd thought your reply was the joke.

    Peace This is so sad. Some women break their hymen from sports. Why is it that it is always the girl that gets punished for these things brickwall People are resulted to sex before marriage for certain reasons Junk food. Actually junk food isn't good for the libido. And no one would want to sleep with you if you weigh 500 pounds.

    My first idea was that the raa in ramadaana can be read with a shaddah (a tajweed prounciation that is not consistently reflected in text). Reading this with a shaddah would automatically imply that shahru was not just shahru in an idaafah construction but rather shahrun with idghaam. This idghaam consisted of the assimilation of the noon into the raa' of ramadaan. Again these specifics are based on the premise that the rules of tajweed are not accurately represented in Quranic texts, and that this was a reading that most recitors did not take because of their traditional reading traditions. Peace This presumption was even unsound. Firstly the "tanween" could not be presumed on the first noun in construct state. Secondly "tanween" could not be presumed because of "single fatha" on Ramzana. You could presume "tanween" and shadda if Ramzan had "Dhumma tanween" whereby you could take it as adjectival phrase.

    Here is what my Sunni imam says Music is both haram and halal, depending whether the instrument is made by Arabs or others. If it is a drum, and its skin is especially made of camel's skin then it is Halal. But if it is a guitar, then it is from devil. If you are a male, your voice is halal for both males and females. But, if you are a female, you better keep your voice to other females; otherwise, you will burn in the pit of hell. In the books of fiqh there are many more details on music. Nevertheless, I recommend you Imam al-Gazzali's Ihya ul-Ulum il-Din. After reading that book, you will never sing my brother. You will let the birds do the job for you and others. Instead of singing, why not yelling and screaming like the preachers in the mosques? You will receive a lot of sawab from that. Peace, Edib Abu Yahya bin Sadruddin al Bitlisi bin Tahir al-Adilcevazi Salaam. I love your sense of humor, brother. You always bring good answers here. God Bless ya. Peace.

    Why cant you be straight forward instead of circular movement with irrelevant observations. There is specific Ayat quoted with its Arabic text which you are not attending, rather avoiding. Why people would come to him in an uncultivated valley, void of availability of "harvest feast" after he pronounces amongst people about the "al hu'j"? And can there be such a big fool who could expect from a sane person's call coming from unpopulated, deserted and uncultivated valley that he is calling for "harvest feast"? Read reply #18. If you can't understand it, then get someone to explain it for you. Sorry I can't help you.

    That helps to understand a general principle for conduct in life. These may also be considered http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/temp%2002%20%202.170.gif And when it is said for them, "You people follow practically what Allah has sent ", they say; "No, We will follow that upon which we have found our forefathers had been". http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/temp%2002%20%202.170a.gif Would they keep following their forefather despite the fact if they did not reflect/recognize/differentiate something and nor they got guided/arrived at conclusion? http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/005.%20Al%20Maida/005.%20A7.gif Would they keep following their forefathers despite the fact if they did not have information/knowledge about something and nor they got guided/arrived at conclusion? Surat 5 Instead of the word in 5104. Knowledge/information and then is the process , of saving data, analysis, reflection, differentiation, pondering, reasoning.
