okay so, we have been going in circles regarding these religion issues and all. Therefore, I think I should sum everything up. There is NO compulsion in religion. We will just keep going on and on because Religion is a major issue. So yaars, I think we've presented enough information about Islam, and it's your choice to either agree or disagree. Boo ji, you said that you believe in love.Well, In my opinion, I believe that Religion (Islam in my case) is all based on love. Loving Allah and His Messenger is what it's all based on.
But you guys need not be offended by anything we all said. I know i'm not. we are just sharing our beliefs and opinions. And since there is NO compulsion in religion, I think i can't debate/argue anymore. I know I've said enough about Islam for you guys to judge what this Religion is all about.
I believe and declare that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, the All-Knower and the Sustainer, and that Muhammad is the final messenger of Allah. And that Jesus is a Prophet of Allah. =]
much love to all.
byeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
boo:guys… two questions:
1. What is 'Ta'ala' in 'Allah Ta'ala'?
2. What is “s.w.t.” that is placed after Allah? Is it placed anywhere else too?
Boo ji, Ta'ala means the Most High. So we say “Allah the Most High”
S.w.t stands for Subhanahu wata'ala which means “Glory be to Him, The Most High” no it's only placed after the Name of Allah.
Am Rani:Yemenilicious:
Allah said: And if you fear that you will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if you fear that you cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or that your right hands possess. That is more likely that you will not do injustice. [Al-Qur'an: An-Nisa' (4:3)].
Islam restricted the number of wives a man may have to four; people before Islam used to marry many women. When Islam was revealed all Muslim men were ordered to divorce any wives above the limit. Only the Prophet (PBUH.) was allowed to exceed this limit; this was a special right given by Allah. Polygyny was organized and limited by Islam rather than left open in number and conditions. It should be noted that many prophets before Muhammad (PBUH), like Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), also had more than one wife.
In polygyny, each wife has the right to have a separate house of equal quality, or separate apartments in the same house. The husband has no right to force them to live in one house with separate bedrooms unless his wives agree.
Islam is a way of life for all people at all times that provides solutions for all problems that arise among those who follow it. Society benefits from polygyny in many ways, and I will mention them just to make it clear. Allah Ta'ala allows and prohibits everything for very good reasons.
1) A man who wants children may marry a woman who turns out to be barren. In this case, he does not need to divorce her to marry another wife and have children. In a non-Islamic society, the first wife would be divorced,
In non-Islamic society, the man and the woman will try to find a solution together. They might adopt a child, they might use another woman to carry their baby… Most man won’t leave their wifes. And why not? Because they love her, just the way she is. They love her, even if she’s not able to have children of her own. They love her for what she is, and she is not worth more or less when she can or can’t have children. She will not be
”replaced”, there will be no second woman to do “a proper job”…Amz ji, Marrying another wife doesn't mean he doesn't love the first one. letting another woman carry the baby? hmm.. well, what if he wants a child who he shares with his partner..Marrying another wife doesn't mean that the first one is belittled just because she couldn't grant her husband the baby. My grandmother for example couldn't conceive and she herself told her husband that he can remarry. Then she cared and looked after the kids even though they weren't her own and were like best friends with the other wife and when the kids grew up, they treated her with so much love and respect. because they saw how much their father loved and respected her. Therefore, when a man marries another wife for that specific reason, that does not mean he's belittling the first wife. Not at all..
and nobody who wants children would marry her; this leaves her in a worse situation than the Muslim woman who would have the advantage of being able to stay married and be equal to the second wife.
She will not be equal. Her husband took a second wife, because she was limited. How can you speak of equallty, when the second wife came in, because the first one was not able to do what she supposed to (Having children)? The sec
I have met bad Afghans, and I have met good Afghans (in fact, I am a good Afghan. And damn proud too.), but I have also met good humans, and I have met bad humans. Knowing one human is a complete jerk won't mean that every human is a complete jerk.
When will people stop doing this? All Arabs are terrorists. All Muslims are terrorists. All Muslim women are oppressed. All Americans are Idiots. All Afghans are dogs. All Pakistanis are (what do they say about Pakistanis? I forgot. lol) All Indians smell like curry. The list goes on and on and on. I don't know when they will stop. Why include the whole damn population? Why? I wish I could go into people's brains and understand why they do this…It really makes me angry.
That's true Rani, You find the good people and the bad people. And about the stereotypes and the misconceptions, I don't think that will ever end. I hate it when people generalize like that. Don't they have any common sense. It's just impossible for everyone to be alike. To think alike and do the same thing. common sense ppl!!
This girl was telling me that “oh you see, Muslims don't do anything for the society, but Christians are the ones who do a lot for their society.” wtheck, How can the Muslims do anything if they're getting killed every single day? They're terrorized in their own country. They don't have the chance to make a change. It's all just so….errrr!
As for Afghanistan, I agree with Rani, there is no “Honest” help nowadays. Not only when it comes to wars and all but also in our daily lives. My father always tells me that “No one does anything expecting nothing in return these days.” And I have to say, that you find some good ppl who do of course. But they're not very common. But then again, we don't know, because Allah is the only One who knows what's in people's intentions right?
Anything we all discuss here shouldn't be taken personally because we're just sharing thoughts and beliefs and intend no offence at all..
Now my favorite topic:
Muslim Men being allowed to have more than 1 wife at the same time:
I totally disagree with above
I know its religion and its practiced in many Muslim countries but I still totally dis-agree with this
Firstly If I do marry a Muslim (and it’s highly unlikely at this stage) I will not expect him to even consider this option of having a 2nd or 3rd wife…
I mean if that truly is the case, then I want to have as many husbands as well, I mean imagine what society will have to say about that hey??
I am NOT willing to share my partner with any other woman – am NOT sorry, am selfish in that sense… I don’t care how much diamonds he can share amongst a hundred different woman….AM NOT INTERESTED IN THAT….its having someone who is going to be there for me and me for him, just him and I …no SHARING thank u…marriage is the union of two souls…NOT 1 MAN AND A COUPLE WOMEN ….
Am going to leave it at this …..
NO SMILES ON MY FACE WHERE DIS TOPIC IS CONCERNED….I WUD RATHER BE A SPINSTER THAN MARRY A MAN WHO THINKS HE WILL GET AWAY WITH THE WHOLE 2 WIVES THING….
Islam allows Muslim men to consider marrying up to four wives at the same time, but there is a necessary condition for this permission. As I said before, the man must be just to them, and must treat them equally in all matters that are under his control; like provision, and the amount of time he spends with each one. If the man cannot provide for them with justice and equality, he must restrict himself to one, as the Qur'an states.
Allah said: And if you fear that you will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if you fear that you cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or that your right hands possess. That is more likely that you will not do injustice. [Al-Qur'an: An-Nisa' (4:3)].

RaNi iS ThE BeS:Salaam peeps! My twin bro is back! woop de doooo!
Haha! He didn't like it! I ask him how it was, and all he can say is “okay” lol! He was complaining about the faucets! How they have two separate ones, one for cold water and one for hot water! Wahaha! I was laughing like crazy! Is it sachi like that everywhere, or is my twin on crack? lol.
It's funny cuz he came back with all the money in his pocket! Cuz my uncle got him w/e he needed and he said he felt funny buying things with his money and then bringing it here, so he didn't buy too much stuff, cuz my uncle wouldn't let him use his money.
I was telling my older sister that If it had been us, we would have came back with not a penny left! Heck yes! Shopping is funnnnn!
Then she said that if I had gone, she wouldn't have missed me at all. I was like, “of course, cuz i wouldn't have went without you. We can't go without each other. If we go, we are always gonna go together.” lol. and then she chocked me with a hug and made me go deaf with aaawwwwwsss! lol.
My dumb twin didn't take pictures! Well, he did, but not tonz. When he was leaving, i told him to take tonnzzz! lol. The stupid camera wouldn't work. and he also said that he thought it was okay, cuz we can take it when we go together Inshallah.
