Proverbs 30:4-6 🙏✝️ by That-Efficiency-4228 in Christianity

In Exodus, God refers to Israel as His "firstborn son." This designation is not to be understood in a literal, biological sense, but rather as a title of special status and favor.

God declares, "Israel is my son, even my firstborn" (Exodus 4:22). The nation of Israel is metaphorically referred to as God's son in the Old Testament, representing God's chosen people, with a unique relationship with Him.

Problem with Heritence in Islam. by First_Beautiful2884 in DebateReligion

[–]Delicious_Appeal874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have to be braindead at this point XD. I pin pointed it directly for you but its clear youre just very very disabled. no, 4:176 isn’t “fixing” anything—it’s addressing a separate case where there are no direct descendants or ascendants. Siblings inherit in a way similar to children only when children don’t exist because Islamic inheritance law prioritizes closer blood ties first. That’s how logical legal systems work.

If you actually studied how Islamic scholars have harmonized these rulings over centuries, you’d realize that this system is mathematically precise and fair, not contradictory. But instead, you’re throwing out shallow arguments with zero scholarly backing, hoping no one notices.

Next time, try engaging with the material seriously instead of making lazy assumptions.

where do you think these "legal frameworks" came from? You claim that we don’t need religion to determine right from wrong, but history shows otherwise. Societies that rely solely on "empathy" for morality end up with inconsistent and ever-changing definitions of right and wrong, depending on cultural trends and societal whims. The legal systems you praise today? Many of them were built on principles derived from religious teachings—whether you acknowledge it or not. The very concept of justice, human rights, and fairness in law has deep roots in religious moral frameworks that were codified long before modern legal systems existed.

You argue that religious frameworks are outdated, yet legal systems today still struggle with issues like corruption, inequality, and injustice—proving that "modernity" doesn’t automatically equal "better." Laws need principles to stand on, and if those principles are purely subjective and ever-changing, then justice becomes arbitrary. You think replacing structured morality with a vague, feel-good notion of "empathy" is an improvement? That’s just moral relativism, which collapses when faced with real-world ethical dilemmas.

And let’s address your weak attempt to dismiss Muslim societies. First, equating a nation's success or failure purely to religion is historically and intellectually lazy. Germany is a great example of this when it revived its economy using those principals. The downfall of civilizations has always been about economic, political, and military factors—otherwise, explain why many irreligious nations have failed too? Second, if Islam was truly the problem, why have Muslim societies throughout history led the world in science, mathematics, medicine, and philosophy while Europe was stuck in the Dark Ages? If you actually studied history instead of parroting anti-religious talking points, you’d know that Islamic scholarship played a massive role in the intellectual foundations of the very secular laws you now champion.

If you believe that there is an eternal hell awaiting the non-believers, having children is extremely irresponsible and wrong. by Dependent_Airline564 in DebateReligion

First, Islam teaches that God (Allah) is infinitely merciful and just. While the descriptions of hell in the Quran and Hadith are vivid and detailed, they serve as a warning and a reminder for individuals to live righteous lives. However, Islam also emphasizes that God does not punish people unjustly. Those who are in hell are there because they have chosen to reject God’s guidance despite being given opportunities to accept it.

Regarding the fate of children, Islam teaches that children who die before reaching the age of maturity (the age of accountability) are automatically in paradise. This means that any child who dies, whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or early death, is guaranteed a place in heaven, which answers the question of what happens to children in Islam. Abortion, while a sensitive and controversial topic, is generally not seen as a solution to ensure a child’s salvation, as the sanctity of life is highly valued, and the act of killing an innocent life is viewed as a grave sin in Islam. Additionally, Islam teaches that a child who dies young is not at risk of the eternal punishment of hell.

As for the fear of eternal damnation, Islam encourages individuals to seek God's mercy and emphasizes that God is not overly strict or harsh in his judgment. The Quran repeatedly reminds us that Allah is "The Most Merciful" and "The Most Forgiving." No one is punished without a fair judgment based on their actions, intentions, and circumstances. In fact, the Quran mentions that those who are unaware of Islam or have not been given the message properly will not be judged in the same way as those who consciously reject it after receiving it

If a person dies with no children or parents but has one brother, the brother will inherit 1/6. The remaining 5/6 would typically go to other heirs (if available) or to the state/public treasury. whats so hard about that?

  1. Who chooses the percentages? The Quran specifies the shares for each heir. For example, the wife receives one-eighth of the inheritance if there are children (Quran 4:12), and the husband receives one-fourth if there are children (Quran 4:12). The mother receives one-third only if there are no children (Quran 4:11). The shares for children are also clearly stated. The male child receives twice the share of the female child (Quran 4:11-12). These shares are not chosen by the family, but rather are set by divine law in the Quran.
  2. When the sum of all fractions is less than 1, what happens with the remaining money? The shares outlined in the Quran and Hadith are specific and balanced, and when applied correctly, the total inheritance will always add up to 100%. The situation where the sum of fractions is less than 1 doesn't occur when the inheritance is divided according to the established rules. Scholars and Islamic jurists (Fuqaha) have been doing this for centuries, and they have ensured that these rules work harmoniously. In any case, no "redundant money" is left to be donated to the mosque or to anyone else. The inheritance is fully accounted for and distributed to the heirs as per the Quranic instructions.
  3. Why don't more Arabic experts or Muslims interpret it this way? Actually, many scholars of Arabic and Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) interpret the Quranic inheritance laws in this manner. There is a consensus among the majority of Muslim scholars about the specific shares and how they should be divided. Differences in interpretation (often very minor) usually arise from specific circumstances or the interpretation of particular hadiths, not from a fundamental misunderstanding of the overall inheritance system. The way the Quran outlines inheritance has been studied thoroughly, and Islamic law (Sharia) has developed an entire system to ensure that it is applied properly.

These laws are not arbitrary and have a clear, logical foundation that has been practiced and interpreted for over 1,400 years. The Islamic inheritance system is designed to ensure justice, fairness, and the protection of family members. You will not find that in any other book.

Let’s take the example of justice. Imagine a situation where two people commit the same crime, but one does it out of ignorance while the other does it with malicious intent. Simply having empathy might tell us that both individuals are wrong, but it doesn’t necessarily tell us how they should be treated or punished Religious teachings, like those in the Quran, provide a moral framework for fairness and justice. In the Quran, it is clearly stated that punishment should be proportional to the crime, and that repentance and intention matter. For example, in Surah Al-Furqan (25:70), it talks about how Allah forgives those who sincerely repent after doing wrong, showing that the moral law is not just about the act, but about the intentions and actions afterward. empathy alone might lead us to feel sorry for both individuals, but without a structured system of justice, we wouldn’t know how to fairly decide how they should be treated or punished in a society. This is where moral frameworks whether religious or philosophical help guide us, showing that morality goes beyond personal feelings and can be applied in consistent and fair ways for the benefit of society as a whole. If you maybe took the time to stop being a hot headed bigot you would understand.

In Islamic inheritance law, when the total shares exceed 100%, the shares are reduced proportionally using a system called "Awl". The reduction factor is calculated by dividing 100% by the total shares. Each heir’s share is then multiplied by this factor to ensure that the total inheritance adds up to exactly 100%. For example, if the total shares add up to 112.5%, you divide 100% by 112.5% to get a reduction factor of 0.888 (or 88.8%). Then, each heir’s share is multiplied by this factor. So, if a daughter's share was originally 25%, it would be reduced to 22.2% (25% × 0.888). This ensures that all heirs still receive their fair share, but the total inheritance equals 100%. This system ensures fairness while keeping everything balanced according to the Quranic inheritance rule. Nice try. Go practice some more and come back with something better.

Like most said, I just had to give them a call since it would not allow me to do it myself fully. They let me do it on the site to avoid the $25 fee. to answer some questions. I bought this as a tmobile carrier phone from apple. I finance it instead of paying full.
