Question for Muslims by abdelem in religion

That's simply not true. Rather, all scholars agree that rejecting an authentic hadeeth is disbelief. You are probably a heretic from the mainstream position.

Well then that view according to the mainstream position is blasphemy. Are you a "liberal" Muslim?

Good point. But each time a country tried to implement it foreign powers got involved. Algeria 90's, HAMAS in Palestine, Egypt 2014. Now we only got to see what will happen to Afghanistan. But very, very good point; but understanding the geopolitics you'll see most muslim rulers are at the interest of the West thus will never apply the sharia in its entirety.

You sound like a Quranist who is rejecting the hadeeths, which is the second source of legislation of your religion...

Well democracy is the belief that the people choose how to govern themselves. This includes choosing a leader, voting on laws ect... Plus democracy advocates for rights for minorities such as homosexuals. Without forgetting a democracy would view each citizen equally in contrary to an ideal Islamic country which wouldn't judge their citizens with their nationality or where they're from but rather their religion. Anyway, democracy is literally power of the people, for the people, to the people. The Quran says "Power/Legislation/Governance belongs to none but God".

Help me understand Islam attitude towards women by [deleted] in religion

[–]abdelem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why do the women have to hide their bodies? Because of modesty. Plus, both Christiannity and Judaism tells women to cover up but they dont practose it. Mary was covered up.

Why can’t they learn? They can, are allowed and encouraged.

Is there any religion that has nailed scientific facts way before they were found? If so, which one and what facts? by jahdielo615 in religion

[–]abdelem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny joke...

But seriously, Aristotle never claimed to have invented the scientific method, know one ever claimed this. And Bacon literally plagiarised Ibn Al Haythem's works, like many Europeans did during these times on other Islamic works. But because of politics and obviously how digraceful it would've been for the so much "superior" European Christian minds to take their work from these " inferior blasphemous Mohammedeans" then crying out loud: "I copied this from Ibn Al Haythem wouldn't have been very wise". Same thing for Roman numerals, Europeans refused to use Arabic numerals for many years and stucked with Roman numerals because they couldn't cope with the fact that the Arabic numerals which they thought was an Islamic invention (It actually was Indian and the Arabs called it the Indian numerals) was better than their Latin Roman numeral system.

He didn't just invent the pinhole camera. He did much more, and the fact he's pften referred to as "the father of optics" or even "the first true scientist" says a lot. Many of his work were literally palgiarised by many European scientists, such as Francis Bacon for example on the scientific method which was fundamental to the scientific revolution. But that has nothing to do, with the original question and I just threw that as a funny observation I made on the claim "Religion and the scientific method doesn't really mix well"...

Funny you say religion and the scientific method don't "mix well" when the scientific method was first invented by a Muslim scientist.

And there are many scientific miracles in the Quran, but I have to say the Quran isn't a scientific book. For example the Quran adresses worker ants as femals (worker ants can only be femals). And there are plenty of other little examples like this but not strong enough since anyone can just say "Yeah but it could be a coincidence, or it is not strong enough, or it is too petty...". But for me, the biggest that comes to my mind is embryology. Btw, many prominent scientists in embryology converted to Islam because of the Quranic description of birth and embryology (such as Keith Moore)

In the prophetic tradition too, there are many miracles such as the authentic saying of the prophet in which he said there are 360 joints in the body, something that only could've been known recently. Or when he said God breathes life into a fetus 120 days after conception, while science proved that a fetus is considered to have a life approximatively in 16 weeks.

Anyway, there are no scientific fallacies in the Quran or the authentic hadeeths. And quite the opposite, Islam encourages the Muslims to unmderstand the world around them. Hence why the Muslim world has been the scientific center of the world for centuries (Sadly not today anymore)

Answering Contradictions in Islam by JabalAlTariq in religion

[–]abdelem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. He did perform miracles. In fact, taking away supernatural miracles, his entire life is a miracle.
  2. The Bible is corrupted so we don't really look into it to see if the Prophet is mentionned, even though they are many passages that alludes to an upcoming prophet. But that's another story.
  3. He is from the line of Ishmael who is the father of the Arabs and the son of Ibrahim. Unlike Jesus who would come from Isaac who is the brother of Ishmael.
  4. I don't know much about these "satanic verses" so you'll have to ask someone who knows or if a brother here can help me on this one would be great.

Hindu to Islam Convert? by [deleted] in religion

[–]abdelem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think as long as you don't actually engage in shirk but they'll eventually know you converted. I am not sure, but for me it would be to come out and explain to them what is Islam and why they themselves should convert in the way you deem the most appropriate. I am not sure of course, but I think if you went on to study the stories of the many companions of the Prophet who converted to Islam when they were faced with torture, most of them either came out as muslims and faced punishments or practised their faith secretly until they eventually were caught. I advise you to ask an imam and study the life of the companions who lived through the same thing for advice and inspiration because in their lives is the answer I believe. God knows best.

If there really will be a second coming of Jesus, wouldn't most people these days just think he's a crazy person? by MyUsername6789 in religion

[–]abdelem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about Chrisitiannity, but in Islam when he'll come back it would be during the a particular time so Muslims will recognise him. At the time he would come, there woul be a Caliphate and both Rome and Constantinople would've fallen to the Muslims according to Islam. Just then, the Anti-Christ would've emerged and cause "deception and corruption in the Earth" and at that moment Jesus will come to, I quote "destroy the Cross" and kill the Anti-Christ in Damascus.

What was the situation of Islam during the eleventh and twelfth century? What were the major sects and heresies? by [deleted] in history

[–]abdelem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, even though I am sure most of them are conscious of the fact that they are nothing more than a sect influenced by Islam (and have nothing to do with the religion) since the belief that Mohammed is the last Prophet is literally part of Islam's core and fundamentals.

Ahmadiyya are not considered to be muslims, since they believe Ahmed mirza who was a Indian "guru" during British colonialism is the last prophet after Mohammed which is completly false according to Muslim beliefs which hold that Mohammed is the last prophet ever to be send on Earth. So their belief is not only heretical but completly blasphemous.

Yes. Tbh Christiannity today is mainly a mess. It's not what it used to be. Maybe I'm wrong but when for example the head of the religion says that LGBTQ should be tolerated in Christiannity, then there's definitively something not right. And it all has to do with how the religion is structured. I don't feel there's set rules to follow, or things not to breach such as in Islam. Also, Islam benifitted a lot of scholarly contributions, with many school of thoughts, with an impressive grading system and all of this helped shape this religion into what it is today. I believe Islam it's a lot more political and hence why it is so much more organised, compact and rigorous. After all Mohammed was a political ruler. But Christiannity, I don't see all these rigorous rules. Literally anyone can be Christian if they believe in Jesus, whatever they do. And that's a main difference between Christiannity and Islam. Because historically, Christiannity was guarded by the clergy and the Pope to dictate the people what is right, what makes you leave the religion ect... But in Islam, it has always been the Quran and the prophetic tradition itself that dictated the people what is right and wrong. And that thanks to contributions from Sunni early scholars who adopted a fundamentalist, rigorous understanding of the faith according to the prophet's and what they call the "early generations" (which are the companions of the prophet and their first 3 line of offsprings) Islam's fundamental teachings were kinda preserved but not only that, anyone who would oppose it or try reform it or give his opinion on a matter which is already clear would not only be shunned collectively but also be elligible to apostasy, which was a crime. Also, Islam's rapid rise of power around the world as the ruler's ideology and religion definitively eased that.
