Thursday, 14 October 2010

A senior Muslim cleric who runs the country's largest network of sharia courts has sparked controversy by claiming that there is no such thing as rape within marriage.

Sheikh Maulana Abu Sayeed, president of the Islamic Sharia Council in Britain, said that men who rape their wives should not be prosecuted because "sex is part of marriage". And he claimed that many married women who alleged rape were lying.

Faith can be such a fragile thing. A belief system that not only influences our daily lives but provides a sense of place among things. So when it comes under attack, we can become shaken to the core.

Such events can be anything from a bereavement or illness which can have two reactions. Either a chances to become alot closer to Allah (swt) or more commonly an instinct based reaction which causes us to push away and even trigger a reassessment of the nature of our world or atlest the world we thought we lived in. At which point even a long standing faith may no longer bring comfort.

How valid is this?

Quran chapter 109, surah Al-Kafiroon (disbelievers, atheists)

"Unto you your religion, and unto me mine"

How true is this? is it full-on incorrect, out of context, misinterpreted, ill-used?

Or is it the most amazing thing ever?

i guess its worth it then eh?

Salam, my name is ruksar and i am new to this website. My question today is related to 'what makes YOU a muslim''?
I am asking this question because i would like people to stop for once and think carefully and deeply about it.
I find myself asking myself this question and ended up exploring things and start thinking from a different point of view to find answers. So please have a go and goodluck
