  • Friendships with non Muslims
    S Soraya

    Salam,
    I guess we should encourage it..
    In the course of friendship, we could invite person to know about Islam..
    Further, only friends who trusts us will be able to accept what we are saying.
    I believe it should be encouraged.

    And if we consider the way Muslims are behaving nowadays, what's the point in keeping friendship with them. Especially, in my country we may find so many Traditionalists, non rational people who believe in so many superstitions and upholding Hadiths..etc etc

  • Taking off the Hijab
    S Soraya

    Peace,
    Well what I meant was that temporarily all is fine. Atleast I am free from my frustrations, and that I am really happy.
    Later on, I'll see what happens next, but Inshah Allah I'll get the guts to not accept his request of wearing it back.

  • Taking off the Hijab
    S Soraya

    Salam
    I just wanted to add my personal experience for removing hijab.
    Well to be frank I have been wearing my hijab since I was 16 years. Now I'm 20 years. A few months back I was feeling very frustrated wearing it. I coud not stand it anymore. I tried several times to view my opinions, but it was said that once you start to wear it, you can't take it off.
    I tried to talk to my father once, and he was with me. He too doesnt agree that in the Quran, it was mentionned to cover the hair. My mother was angry and she did not speak to me for one week. But now Alhamdulilah, all's fine at my place. I am engaged, N my fiance threatened to leave me coz I wanted to remove it, but I did not let myself fall weak. I was too determined to remove it,.Well finally he agreed to let me be without it but on the condition that I have to wear it after nikah.
    Secondly ever since I removed it, I got a lot of people saying it's wrong what I did and blabla..I really dont knw how to rufute them, coz according to them, I'm going against the Quran.
    Anyway, just 1 more thing to highlight is that I hve got nothing against hijab, but I do not have any regrets since I removed it.

    General Issues / Questions

  • Science and the muslims
    S Soraya

    Peace FAR..Some proofs that can help you

    1. Mathematics

    In the field of mathematics, bold experiments were carried out by Muslim mathematicians, under which mathematics flourished greatly and very undoubtly.Algebra was said to be invented by the Greeks, but only because;

    ?It was confined to furnishing amusement for the plays of the goblet?.

    This is according to Oelsner. It is actually the Muslims who developed and applied the algebra as we know it in this present age, and we consider Al-Khawarizmi to be the father of algebra, because of his extensive and vital contribution to the subject.

    After Al-Khawarizmi the first great mathematician and inventor of algebra, mathematics notably developed under others after him, especially Umar Khayyam.

    Muslims were the first people to introduce the sine of arc in trigonometrical calculations, and it was the Muslims who invented spherical trigonometry.Muslims also discovered tangent functions and the discovery of zero was a big and invaluable contribution to the field of mathematics. Muslims also made great progress in mathematical geography.Muslims organized numbers into the decimal system, to base ten, and also invented symbols to represent unknown numbers or quantities i.e. x.

    The system of Arabic numerals only came to Europe through Al-Khawarizmi?s Latin translations of his work, which came to Europe through Spain.

    The word ?algorithm? is derived from Al-Khawarizmi?s name. Muslim mathematicians excelled in geometry, and it can be seen in their graphical art.

    Al-Biruni (who excelled also in the fields of natural history, geology and mineralogy) was the one who established trigonometry as a distinct branch in mathematics, while other Muslim mathematicians excelled in mathematical theory.

    In one way or another, mathematics is involved in nearly all subjects, from art to astrology, from medicine to geology. If it wasn?t for these Muslims, mathematics may never have flourished as it did under the Muslims, and we may never have become as advanced as we are today.

    2)Astronomy

    Muslims always had a special interest in astronomy. This was also linked to religion.The moon and sun has vital importance in a Muslims life, and this was the motivation that aroused great Muslim astronomers. By the moon a Muslim determines the beginning and end of the lunar calendar. By the sun a Muslim determines the times for prayer and fasting. Also, by astronomy, a Muslim can determine the correct direction of the Qiblah. The most precise and accurate solar calendar, even superior to the Julian calendar, was devised under the supervision of Umar Khayyam.

    The Qu?ran also contains references to astronomy.

    ?The heavens and the earth were ordered rightly, and were made subservient to man, including the sun, the moon, the stars, and day and night. Every heavenly body moves in an orbit assigned to it by God and never digresses, making the universe an orderly cosmos whose life and existence, diminution and expansion, are totally determined by the Creator.?

    It was these references to learn that inspired Muslims to study the heavens.Muslims integrated earlier works of the Indians, Persians and Greeks. They put these together into another synthesis.

    Ptolemy?s Almagest was translated and studied, then criticized. Many new stars were discovered. In their Arabic names, they are Algol, Deneb, Betelgeuse, Rigel, Aldebaran and probably many more.

    Ibn Firnas devised a chain of rings depicting the motions of stars and planets.

    Astronomical tables were compiled, among them the Toledan tables, which were use byCopernicus, Tycho, Brahe and Kepler. Also compiled was Almanacs, another Arabic term. Other terms from Arabic are zenith, nadir, Albedo, Azimuth.

    Muslims invented astronomical instruments, like the quadrant and the astrolabe. This not only led to developments in astronomy, but also in sea navigation, contributing to the European age of exploration.

    Muslim astronomers were the first to establish observatories, and were also the first to use them. They were built in major cities of Islam, like Baghdad, Hamadan, Toledo, Maragha, Samarkand, and Istanbul. One was built by Hulagu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan in Mugharah, in Persia. Giralda or ?The tower of Seville? was the first observatory built in Europe. It was built for the observation of heavenly bodies, and was built under the supervision of the mathematician Jabit Ibn Afiah. It was later turned unto a belfry, by Christian conquers, who after expelling the Moors, didn?t know how to use it.Muslims invention of the astrolabe-which was an improvement of the Greek invention-was the most important invention until the invention of the telescope, in the 17th century.

    The astrolabe was used to determine one?s latitude on the earth, using the position of the stars and the sun. This was especially important to travelers.

    Abul Hasan is said to have discovered and invented the telescope. He described it as a

    ?Tube, to the extremities of which were attached diopters?.

    Muslims were the first astronomers to challenge the long accepted ideas of Ptolemy and Aristotle, regarding eclipses, planetary orbits and the position of stars.Al-Farghani was one of the most distinguished astronomers of the House of Wisdom. He wrote the book ?Elements of Astronomy?. This book heavily discussed the motion and science of stars. It was translated into Latin in the12th century. The book exerted great influence on European astronomy. Al-Farghani?s big mistake was to support the widely held view that the earth is at the center of the universe, which he discussed in his book. Ptolemy was the first person to describe this wrongly held view, and it was later proved wrong.

    Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi was a Persian astronomer who lived in the 10th century. He described-in 964- the Andromeda galaxy, our closest neighbour. He called it ?The Little Cloud?. This was the first record of a star system, outside our galaxy. His book on stars was translated into many languages, and had a great influence also, on European astronomy.

    In Muslim Spain, there were many astronomers, one of which one was Al-Zarqali (from 1029 to 1080). He is known as Arzachel in Europe. He was the most famous astronomer of his age, and made a kind of astrolabe that measured the motion of stars. His work was translated into European languages, and was studied in Europe.In the 9th century, Muslims already knew that the earth was a sphere. The evidence, said Ibn Hazm, was that,

    ?Is that the Sun is always vertical to a particular spot on Earth?. This was five hundred years before Galileo discovered it.

    Also, by the 9th century, Islamic astronomers reckoned that the circumference of the earth was 40,253.4 km, and this measurement was less than two hundred km out!
