    424 Forbidden to you are the women having husbands, except those women in captive ... Those women in captive are presumably not "believers". So you mean that men are allowed to marry them even though they are married AND "non believers"?

    . A Muslim is one who leads a life of SALAM at any cost - For the way to salam is Islam, and whoever practises life in this way is a Muslim. So marry a man of Peace and lead a Salamful life .

    . There might have been hundreds of muhammads at the time when our last prophet was chosen by Allah. For eg, The one with only a pinch of beard; - there are followers who followed this muhammad as the prophet The one that sported a handful of beard - there are followers of this muhammad as their prophet The one that had beard upto chest - there are followers of this muhammad as their prophet The one that had taliban type of beard upto knee level - there are followers of this muhammad as their prophet The one that had beard but no mustache - there are followers of this muhammad as their prophet The one that had beard with mustache - there are followers of this muhammad as their prophet Based on these the madhabs were developed. ...

    Peace Nothing special about Arabic which is Semitic Language part of the same family tree as Aramaic and Hebrew... http//www.bartleby.com/61/JPG/tree.jpg This is the only reason Qur?an is in Arabic period. 4144 Had We sent this as a Qur'an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said "Why are not its verses explained in detail? WHAT! (A BOOK) NOT IN ARABIC AND (A MESSENGER AN ARAB?" Say "It is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes) They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!" I agree with that. What I am saying is the proper translation. Do we base it on the Arabic of that region of that time, or do we take all of the Arabic from then till now as a form of translation. Peace

    . 'Fard' is the hadith invention. Halal and Haram are like following what is sense or nonsense. Follow that which is clear to your conscience is Halal; And seeking forgiveness and having fear for Him all the time makes your moves all Halal.

    Peace shez, what makes u think that we drink alcohol here? Even if we drank, it wouldn't exceed 1 glass unlike these hypos who follow bukhari and when they leave their country to go to europe, they indulge in the most lowly things like whisky, gambling, sleeping with prostitutes. And about prayers, the other 'muslims' pray so many rakats but yet remain misguided.

    We tend to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of unsolved problems and shortcomings around us and in the world as a whole, to de point where we may feel completely uncapable and useless. So it is good to keep in mind that we do in fact contribute and anyway the results of averything are always in God's hands. I agree with you sister, this is important to keep in mind.

    SALAM sun 421 And how could ye take it when ye have gone in unto each other, and they have Taken from you a solemn covenant? if a marriage is a meethaq (agreement/contract/coventant) then it's not one sided. So certainly the woman and the man have to agree on the marriage. If parents interfere then they must be respected because they are parents. But if the parents are non-believers or idol-worshippers then people have the right to NOT listen to them (prophet Ibraheem's example). Nothing is by force. God says that marriage is mawadda and rahma (affection and mercy) between the man and the woman. So if that is not there then it wouldn't be a good marriage as defined by God. Hope that helps.

    Salam, Because the noun to which this pronoun refers to is mentioned in the verse (al qawm the group/people). They are the rejecters because they are described as "those who do not seek (support) from God" as you do. Thank you for the explanation....
  • Flaws in "Islamic"/sharee3a law regarding Bequest and Inheritance

    Salaam Nun Thanks a lot for solving the problems, and I apologize for giving you a homework at Sundy night. Peace Samia, Main point overlooked in verse 411 is that 2/3 or 1/2 are only applicable for girls (when there are no sons) else ?to the male equal fortune the two females? is meaningless and never comes in play with any female/male combination (i.e. if # of females = > 2 they get 2/3; if one she gets 1/2). It is only meaningless if you read it through islamic law. It is very meaningful and completely different from the wrong understanding of "twice as much as a female". The point is that we have three fromulas, not one, in this verse X/Y = 1 X/Y = 2 X/Y = more than two (where X = number of females and Y is the number of males). Remember that the number of males is not mentioned every time because it is dependent on what the female gets, and what the female gets depends on the number of females. The three poosibilities we have in this verse (1, 2, 3) are the basic formula If the ratio of females to males is 1, 2 or more. Depending on school of thought; Abu-Haneefa and Ibn Hanbal will divide it as... girl gets 1/2 + 3/8 surplus = 7/8 wife gets 1/8 boy gets 2(1/2*(8/9)) = 8/9 wife gets 1/8*(8/9) = 1/9 Why does the wife get 1/9 when her share is fixed and only dependent on whether the husband has children or not? This discrepancy is becaus of the misunderstanding of the main verse of inheritance (410). two girls and his parents and a brother and a sister 411 "so if they are/were women more/over two, so for them (F) two thirds" -- two girls portion = 2/3 411 "and to his parents, to each one from them (B) the sixth from what he left,if for him was a child" -- each parents = 1/6 412 "and if (he) was/is a man to be inherited without a child or father or a woman (wife), and for him (is) a brother, or a sister, so for each one from them (B) the sixth" -- brother and a sister because their parents and children are present get NOTHING! 2/3x + 1/6x + 1/6x = 1 6/6x x = 1 girls get 1/3 each or 2/3 total each parent gets 1/6 each or 1/3 total Switching case - two boys and his parents and a brother and a sister 411 each parent gets 1/6 each or 1/3 total and boys get the rest of 2/3 or 1/3 each. 412 brother and a sister again get NOTHING! This was like a homework assignment. ;D That's correct, but this is your calculations, not any islamic law's. islamic law gives the brothers and sisters of the dead if the dead has daughters only.

    All my references are from quran. See 783, 1181, 1560, 6610 stating Lot's wife was transgressing. As for lot offering his daughters 1178 Why would he offer his daughters if people were committing genocide? there is no one sane person in the world who would make such a hideous offer as some of us suggest. certainly not me. the explanation is they where saving their son, Moses, on pretence that they didn't have a boy but only girls who were righteous. remember order of Pharaoh to kill all first born "males" and not girls. And That is All. God Bless.
