I found it was too anhalytical at times, especially when they were talking baout the prophet's night journey. I didn't catch the last episode yet, but I thought the series was going to be more detailed actually. also surprised at how there weren't really any scholars..most of them were academics at universities...

I know what you mean. I expected scholars but most of the people commenting were people who have written books or university professors.

The series overall was good, but i think it could greatly be improved. Some of the comments made were a bit to brash for my liking though....

+1

@feefs, guess thats true.

Im actually watching episode 3. theyre talking about Sharia law and how some of the punishments we know today like cutting off of limbs for stealing and stoning/lashes arent something that was practised by the prophet(saw) but something introduced after he(saw) passed away (2 centuries after I think they said). Can someone clarify please?

Also they showed a picture of someone whose hand had been cut off...um..how are they able to do wudhu or clean themselves when they go toilet? :s

edit: alsoooo, just watching the clip of protests about applying Sharia law in europe. why are people so obsessed with this? As a muslim you would be living by sharia law anyways would u not? no matter where u are? doesnt have to be an official law or anything as I understand it. besides isnt it against Islam to be force it on people?
(though I doubt they could) :s

ok, more questions raised:

1) where do people get it from that Aisha(ra) was 9 when she married the prophet(saw)?
2) (deleted)
3) not from this episode, but how exactly did the status of slaves change when Islam arrived?

now theyre saying that the wearing of the veil wasnt for all women? whaaaat?!

one of the guys convicted of acts of terrorism is saying that civilans share the blame of casulties caused by the government they voted for goes to war! so basically theyre free game! whaaat?!

finished! I really liked the last 10 mins of it and lol at how they said something about muslims feeling humiliated (loved using tht word didnt they?) by the power of the west...rlly?

loved the imam they had though

If anyone COULD answer these Qs id very much appreciate it. more so the capital punishment and slaves on. or what should i be looking at to find out? google right?

im reading the Sealed nectar. way more interesting imo.

Because Prophet Muhammad were/are for the ALL mankind, then why was he sent LAST? Surely the mankind which existed before Proph's time could not benefit from his success?

Cos messages couldn't be spread throughout the whole world before that?

(Shia Source but most of it seems ok - not the text in it obvs)
