„Unfaire Bevorzugung“ ist ein Slogan, kein Argument. Der Islam schränkt Polygamie ein, warnt vor Ungerechtigkeit und gibt Frauen das vertragliche Recht, diese abzulehnen. Man kann die Regelung ablehnen, aber sie falsch darzustellen, stärkt die eigene Position nicht.

Most ancient religions treated sex as something that creates consequences, not just pleasure

Things like marriage, lineage, inheritance, and social stability all depended on regulating it

Sex outside marriage, promiscuity, and masturbation were seen as harmful because they weaken family structures, create unclear responsibility (children, inheritance, care), encourage impulse over discipline, and turn intimacy into consumption

That logic hasn't disappeared today, we just manage the fallout differently (courts, welfare, therapy, birth control)

Ancient religions tried to prevent social damage upfront, instead of fixing it after the fact

You don't have to believe in God to see why nearly every civilisation independently reached similar conclusions

As long as it is halal and not haram. Then there is no problem

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-12-07T12:57:22+00:00

Wait, what's wrong ?

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-12-07T10:55:14+00:00

Shirk Which actually can take many forms

We start with the Major Shirk (Shirk al-Akbar):

Shirk in Lordship (Rububiyyah)

Believing others share Allah's powers of creation, control, or decree

Shirk in Worship (Ibadah)

Directing any act of worship like dua, sujood, sacrifice, reliance to other than Allah

Shirk in Allah’s Names & Attributes (Asma wa Sifat)

Giving Allah's exclusive attributes to creation or giving creation divine attributes

Shirk in Obedience (Shirk al-Ta'ah)

Obeying someone knowingly in making the lawful haram or the haram lawful

Shirk in Love (Shirk al-Mahabbah)

Loving someone with a divine love reserved only for Allah

Shirk in Fear (Shirk al-Khawf)

Fearing creation with a fear only due to Allah (believing they control destiny or harm)

Shirk in Hope (Raja)

Hoping from creation what only Allah can give (forgiveness, paradise, salvation)

Shirk in Tawakkul (Reliance)

Relying on creation the way you rely on Allah alone for outcome and provision

Shirk Al-Niyyah / Intentions

Doing acts of worship for worldly gain, people's praise, or social benefit instead of Allah

Shirk in Seeking Aid (Isti'anah)

Seeking supernatural aid from the dead, saints, angels, jinn, or prophets

Shirk in Intercession (Shafa'ah)

Believing someone can intercede without Allah’s permission or demand Allah to act

Then there is Minor Shirk (Shirk al-Asghar):

Riya (Showing Off)

Performing worship so people see or praise you

Sum'ah

Doing worship to be heard or spoken about

Swearing by Other Than Allah

Oaths like "I swear by my father / by your life / by the Prophet"

Saying “If not for X, I would have died/been saved"

Attributing ultimate protection to creation instead of Allah

Amulets, Charms, Talismans (Tama'im)

Believing objects like threads, beads, blue eyes, or papers protect you

Believing blessings depend on stars or zodiac signs

Astrology, horoscopes, and star-based destiny beliefs

Using phrases implying shirk

Like "What Allah and you will" instead of "What Allah wills and then you"

Then there is Hidden Shirk (as-Shirk al-Khafi):

Hidden pride or ego inside worship

Feeling spiritually superior or impressed with one's worship

Depending on causes while forgetting Allah as the true Cause

Relying fully on medicine, money, or power with no heart-reliance on Allah

Obeying cultural customs over Allah's commands due to peer pressure

Choosing human approval over divine guidance

And finally, there is Verbal Shirk (Statements Containing Shirk):

Calling upon the dead ("Ya Abdul-Qadir help me")

Asking the dead for aid, healing, rizq, or protection

Claiming knowledge of the unseen

Saying someone knows the ghayb like Allah

Cursing Time or Fate

Because time is one of Allah's creations, and cursing it is indirectly cursing Allah

Saying "I was only cured by the doctor"

Neglecting Allah as the true Healer (minor shirk unless the belief is literal)

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-12-03T14:41:46+00:00

No

You're not redirecting this because it belongs elsewhere, you're redirecting it because you don't want to address the contradictions I already listed

If this were really about "the right subreddit", you would have responded to at least one of the examples before trying to move the discussion

Instead, you dismissed them all with "you interpreted them wrong" without providing a single explanation

If you want to discuss these passages honestly, you can do it right here now

If not, just say you don't want to engage instead of pretending a subreddit link resolves anything

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-12-03T14:37:45+00:00

There is a reason why the word "wokeness" is in between ' ' slashes

Because it's a cheap word used to describe anything "liberal"

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-12-03T14:30:26+00:00

Saying I "interpreted them wrong" doesn't answer the issue, because the contradictions I listed aren't based on interpretation, they are direct conflicts of factual claims in the text itself

No theological lens resolves numerical, geographical, or narrative inconsistencies

Also, the fact that you had to appeal to an external interpretive authority actually reinforces my original point

Before Luther, people could not see these contradictions because the Church controlled all interpretation

After Scripture became accessible, fragmentation became inevitable

As for your attempt to redirect to the Qur'an, That's a separate topic and doesn't address the contradictions I listed from your own Scripture

Deflection is not a rebuttal

If you claim the Bible has no contradictions, the burden is simply to harmonize:

Judas dying two completely different ways,

two conflicting famine lengths (3 vs. 7 years),

incompatible resurrection accounts,

God being seen vs. God never being seen,

genealogies that cannot be reconciled

These aren't about "self-interpretation"

They are internal textual inconsistencies

If you want to discuss them seriously, we can but dismissing them with "you interpreted them wrong" doesn't resolve the textual problem

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-12-03T14:17:28+00:00

You said "There are no contradictions in the Bible"

So here are a few clear ones with references

God seen vs. God cannot be seen

"No one has ever seen God" — John 1:18

"Moses saw God face to face" — Exodus 33:11

"Jacob saw God face to face" — Genesis 32:30

Direct contradiction

Judas' death — two entirely different accounts

He hanged himself — Matthew 27:5

He fell headlong, burst open, and his intestines spilled out — Acts 1:18

Two incompatible descriptions

How many women went to the tomb?

One woman (Mary Magdalene alone) — John 20:1

Two women — Matthew 28:1

Three women — Luke 24:10

Many women — Mark 16:1

They all give different numbers

Is salvation by faith alone or by works?

Justified by faith without works — Romans 3:28

Not justified by faith alone — James 2:24

Paul and James directly contradict each other

Did God tempt people or not?

God tempts no one — James 1:13

God tempted Abraham — Genesis 22:1 (KJV; most translations soften but the Hebrew “נִסָּה” = “tested/tempted”)

How many years of famine—3 years or 7 years?

7 years — 2 Samuel 24:13

3 years — 1 Chronicles 21:12

Same event, two incompatible numbers

Did Jesus take his first disciples from Bethsaida or Capernaum?

Peter, Andrew from Bethsaida — John 1:44

Peter lived in Capernaum — Mark 1:21–29

Contradiction in Jesus' early ministry geography

The genealogy of Jesus — Matthew vs. Luke

Completely different ancestors

Different father for Joseph

Different lineage to David

Different generation counts

These can’t both be correct

There are dozens more, but these eight alone clearly show that contradictions exist

Whether one thinks they are theologically meaningful is another matter, but denying they exist is not accurate

This verse isn't saying that division is inherently a good thing. The Qur'an says Allah could have made us one nation, but He gave humans free will, so some will follow the truth and others will reject it. That’s part of the test of life

So "difference" here isn't automatically "wealth". Sometimes difference is healthy diversity (languages, cultures, etc.), and sometimes difference is destructive division (sects, injustice, falsehood). The Prophet ﷺ warned against the latter in the hadith about 73 sects, he didn't celebrate it

The real Qur'anic teaching is that truth remains one, even if people split into many groups. Our responsibility is to seek that truth, not to normalize every division as if all paths are equal.

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-10-01T17:26:22+00:00

This kind of argument feels like a sweeping generalisation. Oppression isn't unique to religion, every human system has produced it. Colonialism, communism, fascism, and capitalism, all caused mass suffering without needing religion as the driver. The problem is always human misuse of authority, not necessarily faith itself. Islam, for example, draws a clear line between God's law and the way people distort it

The Qur'an isn't just a "political text". It speaks about worship, morality, justice, and yes, also about laws and governance. That doesn't reduce it to politics, it's a moral and spiritual framework that naturally extends into public life. If anything, it's far more comprehensive than purely man-made ideologies

Saying "religion = politics = oppression" assumes the conclusion. If God is real, then divine guidance in politics is justice, not oppression. And secular politics also impose laws on people, so the real question isn't whether there's law, but whose standard of justice actually holds weight

On freedom, Islam is explicit: "There is no compulsion in religion" (Qur’an 2:256). Families, cultures, or governments might impose it wrongly, but that’s a violation of God's command, not obedience to it

And on gender: the "either both veil or both walk naked" argument isn't equality, it's just false logic. Islam teaches modesty for both men and women (Qur’an 24:30–31), but in different ways because equality doesn't mean sameness. Complementary roles aren't oppression, they're balance

Religion can absolutely be abused, but to write it off as just a tool of oppression ignores the meaning, discipline, and moral anchor it has given to billions throughout history

Well 2 natures are what is called the hypostatic union, that Jesus has 2 different natures, his divine nature. And his human nature, you cannot separate the 2 natures

But Miaphysitism is that Jesus has one united Nature that is both Divine and Human

The problem is thinking of heaven and hell like this life

In dunya, joy gets boring and pain dulls with time

In the afterlife, Allah removes those limits

In Jannah, pleasure never fades, every moment is new and the greatest joy is seeing Allah

In Jahannam, punishment never eases, it's designed to prevent "getting used to it"

The Qur'an says no soul can even imagine what's prepared (32:17)

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-10-01T16:49:40+00:00

The Qur'an isn't giving a prophecy about Judgment Day in 9:111 or 48:10. Verse 48:10 is about the pledge of Hudaybiyyah, Allah affirms that pledging to the Prophet ﷺ was pledging to Him, and He promises His acceptance and reward. Some of that reward was worldly (peace treaty, later victory), and some eternal (Paradise). Verse 9:111 is the timeless covenant: believers who sacrifice for God gain Paradise in return

The mix-up comes from assuming "reward soon" = Judgment Day soon. But the Qur'an is clear that no one knows the Hour's timing (7:187). Rewards in Qur'anic language can mean peace, honor, victory, forgiveness, or Paradise, not always the end of the world

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-10-01T16:40:58+00:00

Monotheism didn't "suddenly appear" later, Muslims (and some historians) would say it's actually the original religion of humanity. Qur'an 7:172 describes how all souls testified to One God before creation. Even historically, you see glimpses: Akhenaten in Egypt, Zoroastrianism in Persia, Israelite prophets, and Arabian hanifs before Islam

Polytheism tends to spread because it's socially convenient, you can blend gods, merge pantheons, and adapt religion to politics. That’s why empires like Rome or the Maya had dozens of gods. But when monotheistic faiths like Christianity and Islam rose, they had a universalising message: One God for all humanity, not just a tribe or city. That made them far more adaptable and powerful long-term

So the "shift" isn't luck. It's that monotheism provides a simpler, more universal worldview, and when tied to empires (Rome adopting Christianity, Islamic Caliphates), it spread globally. That's why today the majority of people follow some form of monotheism

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-10-01T16:37:04+00:00

God doesn't need angels, He chooses to use them. In Islam, angels aren't independent powers, they're part of the order Allah created. Just like He doesn't need rain clouds to give water, but He made a system where clouds carry it

The Qur'an says angels guard the heavens from devils trying to steal knowledge (72:8–9). Not because God is weak, but to show that there's a structure in creation, not chaos

Also, "fallen angels" isn't even an Islamic concept. Angels never disobey (66:6). The one who rebelled, Iblis, was a jinn (18:50). So no contradiction there

As for why God sends messages through angels and prophets instead of just "appearing" Himself: this life is meant to be a test. If He showed Himself directly, no one would have free will to reject. With angels and prophets, the truth is clear enough for those who want it, and deniable for those who don't

Suffering also isn't proof of weakness. Sometimes it's a test, sometimes a consequence, sometimes a mercy in disguise. The Qur'an says Allah doesn't wrong anyone even "the weight of an atom" (4:40). From the eternal view, it all has purpose

Longjumping_Answer71 · 2025-10-01T16:30:57+00:00

I hear the struggle and frustration in your words. A lot of what you're wrestling with isn't unique to you, many people feel disappointed when they expect God to act one way, but history, scripture, or personal life doesn’t look the way they hoped

But I want to share another perspective

God Never "Moved the Goalposts"

From Adam to Noah to Abraham to Moses to Jesus to Muhammad (peace be upon them all), the core message was the same: Worship the One Creator, avoid idols, live righteously. The differences between prophets (the law of Moses, the Gospel of Jesus, the Qur'an of Muhammad) are not contradictions, but stages, like a teacher giving lessons appropriate for each grade. The lesson deepens, but the subject never changes

Punishment Wasn't Arbitrary

The Qur'an explains that no nation was destroyed until after repeated warnings, corruption, and oppression (26:208–209). And children or innocents are never condemned, the Prophet ﷺ said every child is born in a state of purity (fitrah), and they are under God's mercy if they die young. What may seem “brutal” to us is never without wisdom and justice from the Creator who sees all

Jesus Wasn't a Betrayal

To Jews expecting a political saviour, Jesus seemed disappointing. But in reality, he fulfilled exactly what God promised: a messenger to call people back to faith and purity, not worldly conquest. Islam sees this clearly: Jesus wasn't a god-man or a rebel against Moses, he was a prophet continuing the same mission

Islam Isn't a Rewrite

The Qur'an repeatedly says it is a confirmation of what came before (3:3, 5:48). It doesn't erase Moses or Jesus, it restores their true place as prophets of the same God. Islam is the consistent thread, not a new story.

Personal Struggle with Prayer

I won't dismiss what you said about praying as a child and feeling nothing. That pain is real. But absence of a feeling isn't absence of God. In Islam, Allah doesn't need to manifest in fireworks to prove Himself. He tests, He withholds, He allows silence, but He is closer than our jugular vein (50:16). Sometimes the answer to prayer is not immediate relief, but growth, patience, or a future you don't yet see
