webcast about Sunni jurist interpretation of "no compulsion in deen" verse
-
The Quran did say Islam is a deen, it did say that the deen with God is Islam and it did say that God Has completed our deen. So you made it a deen and a state, and then you went out of your way compiling and collecting hadiths to find a way to create that state since the Quran was very vague about many issues even though neither the prophet nor his companions left behind them any hadiths. And now you are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
So who is to blame? hmm
Anyways the verse goes like this
5.38. As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime and Allah is Exalted in power.
5.39. But if the thief repents after his crime, and amends his conduct, Allah turneth to him in forgiveness; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
And
- The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
24.3. Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry and but a woman similarly guilty, or an Unbeliever nor let any but such a man or an Unbeliever marry such a woman to the Believers such a thing is forbidden.
24.4. And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after for such men are wicked transgressors;-
24.5. Unless they repent thereafter and mend (their conduct); for Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.
24.6. And for those who launch a charge against their spouses, and have (in support) no evidence but their own,- their solitary evidence (can be received) if they bear witness four times (with an oath) by Allah that they are solemnly telling the truth;
24.7. And the fifth (oath) (should be) that they solemnly invoke the curse of Allah on themselves if they tell a lie.
24.8. But it would avert the punishment from the wife, if she bears witness four times (with an oath) By Allah, that (her husband) is telling a lie;
24.9. And the fifth (oath) should be that she solemnly invokes the wrath of Allah on herself if (her accuser) is telling the truth.
24.10. If it were not for Allah.s grace and mercy on you, and that Allah is Oft- Returning, full of Wisdom,- (Ye would be ruined indeed).
24.11. Those who brought forward the lie are a body among yourselves think it not to be an evil to you; On the contrary it is good for you to every man among them (will come the punishment) of the sin that he earned, and to him who took on himself the lead among them, will be a penalty grievous.
24.12. Why did not the believers - men and women - when ye heard of the affair,- put the best construction on it in their own minds and say, "This (charge) is an obvious lie" ?
24.13. Why did they not bring four witnesses to prove it? When they have not brought the witnesses, such men, in the sight of Allah, (stand forth) themselves as liars!
So I see it as historical, many gossips and lies in a society like tribal Arabia where issues like this can mean conflicts or maybe even war between tribes. I see it as the accepted norm of the period and its culture. Its clear the Quran wanted to prohibit rumours and lies and tried to ensure no ftna can occur. Anyways as I said I find accepting the historicity of the 1st Madina state the hardest for Muslims to do.
So we are still &
Maybe you can do some research about it. See which verses in the Quran are historic such as God's command to prepare military equipment like horses and so on for battle.
Or God talking about creating for us cattle and so on so we can travel with. Or humans using stars and so for navigation. So don't you think flooging is something of history? Or God saying He likes people standing in battle in a straight line, today that will be a disaster. Does anybody has other examples?

JK- Horses and attle as millitary euqipment are just as an example but the general reparation is wht wer to focus on.
Or God talking about creating for us cattle and so on so we can travel with. Or humans using stars and so for navigation.
JK- Yes indeed GOD says He has created cattle from whose meat we can east and we MAY also use them for travel. This is not a command but a statement of fact of wht can be done with these animals and it acn still be done. Even the millitarty units many a times rides on horses when theyve to go through the jungle for example where other vehicles wont do very well. It all depends. Reg stars for navigation it also depends and GOD doesnt say you HAVE to use them. Its not a command just a description of their benefits and if we go into space into the future the stars maybe alot of help to su there too.
So don't you think flooging is something of history? Or God saying He likes people standing in battle in a straight line, today that will be a disaster. Does anybody has other examples?
JK- I see the flogging example as totally general though they maybe intererpeted as symbolic flogging INFRONT OF THE PUBLIC. Arnold Schwarzenegger also introduced public exposure of criminals. It puts them to real shame and works very well. And whts tht about straight line. Cld u quote the verse? GOD Bless!

There's no Compulsion in Islam means you should not force anyone to embrace Islam. It doesn't apply to Muslims as you can force a Muslim to practice if you are socially close to him in a way like how you sometimes in love force your reluctant guest to eat. Other Muslims you can force in a way the doctors force a child for a life-saving shot and if the parents of the child say don't force anyone for anything like that then the doctor cares the least about the shot though deeply worried about the child's life at its peril.
Coming to the distorted history forcefully-widely taught in all schools of the world been written by Prejudiced Europeans who hate Islam and Muslims, and the History written by Europeans who rape their own daughters and practice incest or at least do not mind their women having illicit sex, lacking high human respect, values, traits, ethics and ethiquettes, morally profligate and corrupt so much that their 70% children hardly know who one of their or both their parents is, cannot be true history. Also why should we Muslims believe in a history written by Europeans. -

Also the Muslims who are Murthad or Leave Islam are a matter with Muslims. If an American Soldier in a Taliban uniform just standing before American Soldiers utters words like I will destroy America, then Imagine his condition in Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo. -

Did you see the sectarian sunni/shia "Muslims" shouting in the streets of UK "Death to those who insult Islam. GOD Bless Hitler, etc". Here take a look at this

And NOT A SINGLE BRITISH POLICEMAN even touched them. So dont talk nonsense here. Moreover "murtad" means when one leaves Islam and then preaches his new religion to the people. Why the hell should such a person be killed? He hasnt harmed anyones life at all? So you better get your facts straight. GOD Bless! -
Britain, Canada, and dare I say, the USA, are closer to Islamic states than anything in the middle east or the rest of the world for that matter. Scandinavia and Mid-Europe probably fits the definition of "Quranic" best.

Salaams All,
................ who are Murthad or Leave Islam are a matter with Muslims.
God allmighty would be ashamed for one of His creatures uttering such Heathenistic words- as though people own others of their cult - i think, and such nonsense must be shunned at all costs.
God Bless All.

I don't know the verse, its about how God loves those who who fight for His sake as a staright line or something like that. Allah Knows Best.
