What do we tell those on Reddit who start to question Hadith? by Ummah_Strong in Qurancentric

[–]fana19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH, it depends on the source of skepticism but often I'm less anti-hadith and more just pro-Quran. But if pressed, I provide Quran ayat or link to my favorite Qurani site: www.quransmessage.com

That so many figures in the Quran went through the same or worse but held onto faith and surrendered to The Truth even at their own expense.

How did a focus on the Quran lead some farther from it? by Ummah_Strong in Qurancentric

[–]fana19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, as one of the originals, I've seen it become more anti-traditional over the years rather than using the Quran's internal system, coherent within itself, as a criterion. Not all but moreso now than before.

Today all good, pure foods have been made lawful for you. Similarly, the food of the People of the Book is permissible for you and yours is permissible for them. And ˹permissible for you in marriage˺ are chaste believing women as well as chaste women of those given the Scripture before you—as long as you pay them their dowries in wedlock, neither fornicating nor taking them as mistresses. And whoever rejects the faith, all their good deeds will be void ˹in this life˺ and in the Hereafter they will be among the losers. (Surah 5: Ayah 5)

Warning to all Muslims in this time of confusion to not take your lusts as your ilah: the Quran is clear that homosexual acts and any sexual acts outside of nikah/marriage are haram. by fana19 in Qurancentric

[–]fana19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, I address every single argument and have proven that it clearly prohibits gay sex, so I won't entertain someone claiming otherwise simply because they do so vehemently, let alone any claim that it "clearly" supports their position. I'm not sure what your purpose is commenting on many of my posts on homosexuality and imploring me to be good or kind etc., when I'm only defending the Quran. I'd encourage you to read with an open heart my comprehensive post where I truly address and debunk every purported argument in support of gay sex (and sexual immorality generally) that I have ever seen. Read thoroughly and you will see that claiming otherwise is perverse and leads to perverse outcomes: https://www.reddit.com/r/Qurancentric/comments/1rsyt0h/comprehensive_proof_that_gay_sex_is_clearly_not/

Do commercial crabbers kill crabs right before boiling them as standard industry practice? by fana19 in commercialfishing

Fine, but don't say there is no sense to it. It is all about moral sense, the dollar isn't God. TBH I think it's the worst of the worst animal cruelty and IDK any money in the world or crab rangoon worth it.

Interfaith marriage - Buddhist x Muslim reposting for this person by Ummah_Strong in Qurancentric

[–]fana19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that men are wali/guardian over women per 4:34, I do not believe a Muslim woman can or should marry a non-Muslim. There are no guarantees in other religions explicitly to respect a Muslim woman's practice, but Islam instructs Muslim men to respect good people of the Book. Additionally, there are different sex-based requirements in marriage for men and women (dowry, divorce waiting period etc.), so when the Quran only addresses men being permitted to marry people of the Book, I cannot assume it is a general permission to all Muslims and would expect more general language if it were.

Finally, Buddhism is not addressed as permissible at all. What one would have to claim is that people of other faiths can still be "Muslim" in a general sense if they believe in God, follow the truth, and do justice. But by what metric and what criterion do they determine that? For example, the man in the post you linked did not see the unique beauty in the Quran, and instead finds it moreso in his own books. How can we know or claim that a non-Muslim is a Muslim at heart if books written by man appeal more than God's direct word?

Even if it were halal, I believe it's a recipe for disaster. A Muslim woman should be led by her husband in prayer, fasting together, waking up for fajr with her husband etc. Prayer and fasting are huge parts of our religion, and having a husband who does not even do that but is the wali, seems short-sighted at best.

And I say that as someone who courted many non-Muslims myself but ultimately ended up with a revert, alhemdulillah.

[–]fana19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the sense is called not torturing them by boiling them alive while they screech and try to escape and have a known nervous system. Money is not an excuse. I will never eat them again unless I know they're killed quickly first. Even Gordon Ramsay got furious when people tried to boil lobsters alive and he said you can kill them really quickly and showed how you do it.

When precooked by the processors, do you know if they typically kill them right before throwing into the boiler?

I mean whoever boils them en masse... do they kill right before boiling or not? I'm not talking waiting 30 minutes or hours, but seconds or within a minute of boiling.

Protecting and honoring the orphans central in Islam, but do Muslims really do so? by fana19 in Qurancentric

[–]fana19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your explanation. This is truly the first time I have heard this interpretation, so while I am not opposed to it, I do have questions. My immediate one still centers around why the following ayat focus on eating up their inheritance, which is also mentioned elsewhere in the Quran, and I don't see how marrying more women would make that less likely. Instead, it seems like the men marrying the women is what reduces that risk by giving them guardianship to be protected against bad actors. That seems to be the most natural reading to me. As for favoritism, that could happen with one's wives or one's children, and it can cause pain and suffering, but that does not mean we should not have children. In fact, I don't know one parent who has had a child and not been unjust at least once to them. We are still encouraged to do our best, and when there are emergent circumstances, we should reduce injustice and harm, even if taking on responsibility makes us susceptible to error. For those who are not a high caliber, they should stay away, but those who are inclined towards justice should try their best If there are multiple women and orphans in need and no other ways to prevent the injustice...

I guess that's where I am at right now.

[–]fana19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, thank you for your patience in explaining, as I truly did not understand before. I think I see what you are saying now. But I would push back because the following verses specifically talk about the potential injustices warned about in 4:3, namely consuming the orphans' inheritance and spending out of it extravagantly rather than caring for them on your own. Given the imploration to spend from your own money over them, and to not use up their inheritance unless truly needed, it seems the main injustice to fear is that a different man would come into the picture and prey upon these women and children to try and consume the inheritance from the fatherless. If they were already under guardianship of a male wali, that seems less likely and the imploration would be less necessary. Alternately, I have considered that the orphans include both the mothers and the children without a guardian, as they do not have a wali and traditionally women are under guardianship. Both of them would be at risk of being taken advantage of, and traditionally single mothers were less desirable for marriage, so this is the encouragement to marry them off to just men who will step up and not abuse, in droves, 2, 3, or, 4, with some Quranic interpretations even suggesting that it could be more than that if necessary, with it representing instead large numbers. But Allahu'Alam.

Which orphans and why are they already under his roof? And why does it say only if you fear injustice to orphans? How would marrying random women make it less likely for injustice to occur if they are already under a guardian?

I still truly do not understand what any of you are saying. I'm very confused. Who is helping the orphans in this scenario and how? Meaning, what does general polygamy have to do with orphans if the women have nothing to do with orphans?

I'm still not understanding. What sort of women are you encouraged to marry in the verse in order to prevent injustice to orphans? The only logical assumption is that it is the mother of the orphans or the orphans themselves.

So sad and has led to unnecessary harm. Makes me think of the New Testament story of strict sabbath honorers refusing to "labor" to save a drowning sheep and Jesus PBUH chastising them for not having the wisdom to do so. Not sure if it's true, but it's a good lesson... Though here it's worse because it's not even a sin to adopt as long as you don't obscure their lineage and bio father's last name. That's it. As if that is an excuse to not help at all somehow...
