Questions on Islam and Society

Published by lollywood on 25 April, 2011 - 19:07

I really really want to become an atheist because I think religion bounds a person to follow certain things and if you are an atheist you don’t have to follow anything your free to do what you like

I don’t want to get married to anyone because it’s a life contract and you have to make certain compromises to please your Husband – Wife you even have to lie when your wife say honey does my bum look big in this and you have to say NO to keep her happy and if you say YES it does then she gets grumpy and says do you not love me like you use to not only that but when you have kids you have to worry about there lives IE there up bringing Education and so on, When it comes to upbringing it is very difficult to give them a good example of life when they have role models like Jordon / Katie Price I have lost count of the amount of times she has married and divorced don’t ask about how many boy friends she’s had in between that time (excluding weekends)

If you people on here had a son or daughter and he / she said daddy I want to be like Katie Price what would you say?

There are some questions in life that come to mind more then others about religion

Does Allah – God actually exist?

How Did Allah - God come in to entrance?

Who crated Allah - God?

What was Allah - God crated for?

How did Allah – Got create the World

Why does he need us to pray, fast for him he is the almighty?

Why do we have to give Zakat, Sadqa, does that mean he values money?

Why does he want us to perform Hajj / Umrah

Why do Muslims practice female circumcision? (Mostly in parts of Africa and Asia) why did Islam not banned this practice?

When a Muslim child is born male or female why is it must to give the Azaan in its Ear? The child does not understand anything about religion at such a young age

Why did Allah tell Muslim women to wear the Burqa / Niqab (it looks horrible) He did not tell men? Or at least men don’t seem to cover up

Why is it that Muslim men can marry up to eight wives or keep eight wives and women can’t marry eight men (That’s not fair)

Why don’t Muslim fathers want there daughters to educate, Is it because that they will fight for there rights?
(Most Muslim gals I know get married very early 9 is the earliest average is around 16 to 24) Arab, Afghanistani, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, – Mirpuri and all others

Why don’t Muslims live in harmony with each other IE Sunni, Shia, Wahabi etc there is up-roar in almost every Muslim country in the world

There will be more questions to follow

How is that being racist? Its to do with family history and when it comes to the people of South Asia they were Buddhist, Hindu before Islam and Sikhism

If people were happy with Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam then why did Sikhism come into existence there?

I think Sikhism came into existence because some people were not satisfied with the other religions maybe I am wrong

I'm male

What would I get out of lying about such a little thing?

Sikhism AFAIK took some concepts of Islam too, so a comparison with them would be the NOI in America.

Still, once a person believes, they believe. So what if their ancestors didn't?

and even arabs existed before Islam - many were polythiests, few were monothiests.

Sikhism began with Guru Nanak (1469-1539), a member of a trading caste in Punjab who seems to have been employed for some time as a government servant, was married and had two sons, and at age forty-five became a religious teacher. At the heart of his message was a philosophy of universal love, devotion to God, and the equality of all men and women before God.

thats Islam...

Guru Nanak empathized the absolute and sovereignty of God, creator of all that is: everything is dependent upon his will (hukam). He does not become present within the world, a belief which is in contrast with the Hindu conceptions of avatars, but makes known his will and way. In discerning this, meditation (nam simaran) on sabda, "sound," is of paramount importance, especially through repetition of the Name, or on the hymns of the Guru Granth Sahib. Karma
and samsara are accepted: the way to release or liberation is to move one's life against one's willful and disordered inclination (haumai) into alignment with the will (hukam) of God. This is only possible because of the help of God, the equivalent of grace, described by various words such as kirpa, nadar, prasad

sounds a lot like Islam...

canny be a religion, was invented by some random man...with no BACKUP from GOD.

[size=18] what is your problem with Islam? [/size]

I don't like football

Who say that only girls are against marriage?

I hate marriage because girls want to rule there men, do what they say- they don't want them talking to other girls because they are insecure
They don't like to hear the word NO as an answer
When it comes to Asian girls its right lets find a rich guy marry him then just sit at home and bitch all day about tv the local area's people when the husband gets home lets start bitching about the mother in law

I don't like the niqaab because I like to see what a girls got on offer

then why are you questionning so much?

and if your wife has strong faith; she will not backite and will not be running after money, as these things are against Islam

muslims are suppose to lower their gaze, so you cant check out "what a girl's got to offer" . its because of this way of thinking that Islam introduce the hijaab in the first place...
why the need to sikhism? what's your opinion?

Lilly, he doesn't want to believe and you can't make him so don't let him rile you.

I don't get his fascination with what past generations may or may not have believed before conversion to Islam and don't accept his charge that that somehow makes their and their offsprings faith weaker.

There is also his curiosity of wanting to "touch" God in order to believe in him, something which may come from hinduism.

But we can't force him to believe in Islam or God (and you can;t have the former without the latter).

I don't like to lower my gaze besides its natural for opposite sex’s to attract one and other

Lilly wrote:

Maybe because Hinduism and Islam were thought to be difficult to follow

Except that Sikhism also has similar family values, so you wouldn't fit in there either.

Attraction is natural, but as humans we have control on how we act on such things.

That's very difficult but having said that in Islam it say if you can't marry you have to fast every day, then you might not be sexually attracted because your brain would be thinking of the hunger caused by the fasting what do you think about this?

you say it, which is all well and welcomed, but then you dont accept the answers and the ideas we give you about Islam. why?

That's very difficult but having said that in Islam it say if you can't marry you have to fast every day,

finally something ISLAMICALLY CORRECT!!! wel...correct-ISH. It's about hunger, tiredness and the worship and fear of Allah you have while fasting, and its not a compulsion; if youcant marry AND cant control yourself.

gawping is bad and gross; you're gona get slapped one day.

That self control is hard, very hard.

I don't like the idea of restricting myself but I understand why.

Something I found:

"Does God know everything that is going to happen? - Does He have absolute control on the outcome of everything? - If so, how is that fair for us? Where is our free will then?"

Answer:
Allah Knows everything that will happen. The first thing that He created was the "pen" and He ordered the pen to write. The pen wrote until it had written everything that would happen. And then Allah began to create the universe. All of this was already known to Him before He created it. He does have absolute and total control at all times. There is nothing that happens except that He is in control of if.
There is a mistake in the question: "Free Will." Allah alone, has Free Will, He Wills whatever He likes and it will always happen as He wills. We have something called, "Free choice." The difference is that what Allah "Wills" always happens and what we choose may or may not happen. We are not being judged on the outcome of things, we are being judged on our choices. This means that at the core of everything will always be our intentions. Whatever we intended, is what we will have the reward for. Each person will be judged according to what Allah gave them to work with, how they used it and what they intended to do with it.

As regards the actual "Judgment Day" - Allah tells us that everything we are doing is being recorded and not a single tiny thing escapes from this record. Even an atom's weight of good will be seen on the Day of Judgment and even a single atom's weight of evil will be seen too.

The one who will bring the evidences against us will be ourselves. Our ears, tongue, eyes and all of our bodies will begin to testify against us in front of Allah on the Day of Judgment. None will be oppressed on that Day, none will be falsely accused.

He could have put everyone in their respective places from the very beginning, but the people would complain as to why they were thrown in Hell without being given a chance. This life is exactly that; a chance to prove to ourselves who we really are and what we would really do if we indeed had a free choice.

Every thing that happens to us in life is because Allah is in control and knows what will happen in the future...
Yes, this means good and bad
Muslims should ACCEPT that Allah decides what is best for them.

At the same time, Allah has given all Humans free will, meaning they are free to choose whether to act in a good or evil way.

Muslims generally do not try to resolve the apparent conflict between Allah's control and Freewill.
Allah knows best and will always be fair.
i know you'll probably reply saying: "yeah, but why does Allah not be fair in Pakistan?"

Answer: Allah tests those He loves....
Also, Insha A', He will elevate those people who suffered in this world and stayed on the right path, and grant them with Jannah
