General Questions

Allahuakbar โ€”

Salaam,

I just have a few questions to ask and would be very grateful if anyone could help me with them. Firstly I would like to say that I have been reading the English translation of the Qur'an and I would definately recommend it. Most of us will probably never learn arabic so the least we can do is read the translation.

1) Why does Jesus (pbuh) refer to God as "father" in the Bible?

2) Regarding 2 women witnesses in the Qur'an, I read it and it says there should be 2 women, in case one is in error, I was told that it was just in case one woman was having menstrual problems/pain whatever u wanna call it? Is this the reasion why?

3) The one which intrigues me most is why does a woman only get a quarter of inheritance and the male gets half? Im assuming it has something to do with the responsibility of the male to organise the funeral etc.???

Please don't think I am doubting the Qur'an, astaghfirullah, that I would never do. What I do know is that there is always a logical reason behind every statement in the Qur'an.

[quote="Med"]I pray that ALLAH guides our poor deluded minds into the light.

Peace a word from a Lord Most Merciful.

As for the people who say they answered the ruling of ahnaaf, please I didnt ask for hadeeth, hadeeth are replete with different meanings, different contexts. I humbly requested evidence that the ruling of ahnaaf has changed. Unfortunately some people openly lied and said they have given evidence, I am yet to wait.

No, I do not expect thanks, my problem is that the people do not show correct respect for the KNOWLEDGE. Even now they think it is me being arrogant for refusing to discuss in detail over here, do they not see that treating the matters of deen as trivia is a huge insult and swear?

Have they now understanding as to what this deen is? This deen is not a toy for people to play with for fun in forums, it is divine guidance. Yet they accuse me of arrogance for trying to maintain what little respect I can for deen?

To ALLAH is my complaint.

assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.[/quote]

lol
now you are accusing people of liars....astagfirullah.... yet more accusations!... do some taubah bro...and give your fingers and mind a rest!
dont try to preach to us what deen is...pls....dont lecture or patronise us. I have learnt many things about our beatuful Deen under good scholars....i dont need a lecture from you. We all respect the Deen...not just you...but of course you are better than us, more superior, more knowledgable...and because you study in a madrassah.....how can we compare ourselves to you!

You โ€” Sat, 5 Nov 2005 - 14:21

no.

you are introducing a third party between yourself and God.

Harder to seek forgiveness.

star โ€” Sat, 5 Nov 2005 - 17:25

like admin said u cannot REVEAL your sins bcoz if u do then your

SINS will be like broadcast in front of everyone on the day of judgement.

where as if u keep them between U and allah SWT, then your hisaab will

be taken in private.

BUT...

it is permissable to reveal ones sin to the ulama with the intention of gettin advice and reforming ones-self.

tru. BUT sometimes it happens that a person is in a sin that he badly needs advice but cant turn to any1 out of shame. What can he do then to remedy situation?

Life goes on, people get used to it.

Salma โ€” Sat, 5 Nov 2005 - 23:11

so if we do something bad, we should keep it to ourselves?

not try and seek help?

You โ€” Sun, 6 Nov 2005 - 00:42

seek help, at the same time not brag and not openly declare.

[quote="angel"][quote="Allahuakbar"]1 more question.

Is it okay to have medicine containing gelatine (or anything else haraam 4 that matter)? I mean I recently had antibiotics but felt bad after I found out the capsules were made of gelatine. But, It's not like I wanted to take them, I had to given the situation.[/quote]

I think medical conditions are an exception it wasnt like you were eatin the capsule because it was food that tasted nice (i love jelly sweets but cant eat them after i found out they were haram) neway islam makes life easy for everyone, if you have a medical requirement and it can only be fulfilled by takin a capsule that contains gelatine then it i would think it was permissible...[/quote]

i used to love marshmallows- especially in hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkeld choc on top, yum!

but then i discovered marshmallows have pork gelatine in them, i think.

imagine my horror

"used to love marshmallows- especially in hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkeld choc on top, yum!

Lol, I was once eating chocolate trifle, had about half of it, read the ingredients, found out it had pork gelatine in it, yuck! I guess we have all had to give something up, the amount of sweets we have had to throw away coz of gelatine. My sis says eat them first THEN check the ingredients!

"I bought some halal jelly babies and they were digustin"
Halal jelly aint that nice either, I'm talkin about the Ahmed brand. Not enough flavour.

I heard that Lucozade original had alcohol in it. Apparently a tiny amount, something like 0.001%, so small that they didn't have to declare it under British Law. Its not that they put it in on purpose, it's a by-product of the production. But now peeps are saying its okay.

What about walkers cheese & onion crisps, now they're halal, taste the same to me, why put the animal rennet in :evil: :evil: !!
