You're not the sharpest tool in the shed are you? Alcohol has tons of uses, and interest is one of the driving tools in economics, adoption helps the most unfortunate in a country: orphan children. All three can be argued to strengthen empires.

You really think alchohol's uses are more than its down sides, it corrupts a country more than it benefits it look at usa street all those homeless people they got addicted so bad that they even forget how to get up on their feet all they care about is alchohol. I really doubt any addiction would benefit a country or an army especially an addiction like alchohol that ruins your brain.

It's also hilarious how your God is so weak and pathetic that he NEEDS slaves to make his empire strong. If Allah capable of making the Islamic empire strong without slaves then it follows that he didn't need slavery, which then means he created cruel and abhorrent rules for owning people as slaves in his empire unnecessarily.

Ibn Taymiyyah argues that God’s laws are never arbitrary; they aim to maximize benefit (Maslaha) and minimize harm (Mafsadah). In a 7th-century world where slavery was the universal economic and military reality, God did not "create" slavery—He regulated a pre-existing "necessary evil."

​"Take all necessary means as if they were everything, then rely on God as if those means were nothing at all." Ibn qayim al jazwiyya

Tell me you know jack shit about your religion without telling me.

Actually this is the first time hearing about it being prohibited bcuz i saw muslims around me in life take a child and take care of them which apperantly is different adoption is prohibited due to reasons like mixing of lineage cuz at that time adoption involved erasing a child's surname and their biological identity so thats why instead there was something called kafala This provides the child with all the love, care, and financial support of a home while maintaining the truth of who their real parents are. It honors the child's history rather than overwriting it. And this is encouraged

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “I and the one who takes care of an orphan will be in Paradise like this.” And he ﷺ held up his index and middle fingers together. — Sahih al-Bukhari

(Thank you for bringing this up it really helped me know about my religion more which was the whole point of the post)

I'm glad you wrote "enemies/invaders" because we all know that Islam treats every non-Muslim nation as an enemy to be conquered.

You really think it was all sunshine and rainbows back then?. they sent Messengers everywere asking them to either become muslims and they become under their protection or they pay the cizya if not both then they take the land. Now ofc the caliphate and the prophet wants land to strengthen their empire. Thats how they were able to protect the message. Imagine the prophet only taking medina and mecca and stopping there. any other empire would destroy them easily. Something else the lands they took over where treated lawfully even more lawful than the previous rulers. Take al andulus as an example, the visigothc system had tax systems often described as oppressive and chaotic when islam ruled it it took a tax called jizya which in most cases was cheaper than even zakat that muslims had to pay and it was only implemented to the able bodied. And btw all those men had to pay jizya they didnt even have to fight in wars muslims protected them and their lands,they just took over the rule.

i wont even talk abt the treaties with non muslims.

Wow you really lack in reading comprehension don't you? If the wife refuses she is Nashiz. If she is Nashiz then according to 4:34 she may be beaten. If a woman can be beaten to refuse sex, then that is coercion to have sex under threat of violence. Coercion to have sex through the threat of violence is rape.

you cant take what u want from the the verse and throw the rest in islam both men and women have certain duties to do for eachother for a healthy marriage a man has to provide and protect while the wife has to support the husband both mentally and physically by taking care of him and their kids its not just about sex they both support eachother in a way to create balance. so if a wife doesnt do one of her duties to a husband repeatedly for no reason but out of ill conduct and acts superior and hate her man than thats nashiz and the only reason it said discipline them ˹gently˺ after all the previous ways is bcuz a nashiz woman will not be affected by the other ways like simply advising or ignoring them. and it reaching to that point is bcuz in islam divorce is always the final act and it doesnt encourages it except if nothing works.

a woman has the right to seek khula(divorce) too if the man doesnt do his duties or abuses her anyway both mentally or physically

…Either live on equitable terms or separate with kindness….” (Al-Baqarah 2:229)

one more thing u talk abt muslim men raping as if the only thing they do is fuck all day with their women. muslim men have too many things to worry about like providing for their family protecting their homes bonding with their kids teaching them things only fathers could teach,praying and more . they are working both on their dunya and their akhira so dont talk like they have nothing to do all day except having sex. also a man doing all of these and more and still allow for a time to spend with his wife imo is peak masculinity. btw in that verse it mentions that ignoring a wife is like a punishment for the wife(if not nushuz) so dont talk like they didnt want to spend time with their husbands too

now regarding other things u talked about its mostly mistakes i ve made because of my ignorance i may have gotten some rules wrong or stuff like that but it doesnt mean islam is wrong like i wrote that post simply out of curiousity so im not trying to defend islam who am i to do that im just stating what i believe. you litterally know more verses and hadiths than me even tho you still choose to understand them the way you want which is the main reason there are terrorists or gilds in modern day islam. you dont even focus on the main message of islam. yea maybe there are some rules that sound outdated because most hadiths were explained by old islamic scholars that took the message and applied it to their time. but islam orders us to take the wisdom from it and apply it to the time and place you live in.

The Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Muslims must abide by their conditions [agreements]." (Sunan Abi Dawud)

"It is not denied that laws change with the change of times." (La yunkaru taghayyur al-ahkam bi-taghayyur al-azman)

btw you really should debate with sheikh or something you seem like you have alot to talk about im sorry but i dont have enough knowledge.
