General Questions

Allahuakbar —

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.

does the angel of death visit ones home 3 times a day?

read somewhere it does... got abit freaked out

is it true?

You — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 - 21:08

Dunno.

But I would assume they have better things to do. Like take the souls of those dying to their destinations...

never heard this...

i was under the impression that the angel of death only visits when some1 is either dying or about to die.

I doubt be'd make random visits. And would be interested to know if anyone has heard otherwise.

Mum often says this. But I heard it was twice a day.

iv heard that death - our grave remembers us like 70 times in a day...im probably wrong with the number but its a lot

You — Tue, 27 Dec 2005 - 18:37

In Arabic numbers such as 70 are used as a figure of speech.

Just like we say 'a gazillion times', arabs would say '70 times', '7 times', '40 times'.

It means alot, and is used to say something is important.

Other than the fact that death can come for us at anytime in any place, wats the relavance of the above ^^??

All death is certain, everything that has come into this world must one day leave. Basic fact of life.

everyone was talking bout how many times the angel of death visits right - that reminded me of when someone told me the grave remembers us 70 times in a day and i jus happened ta mention it because of the RELEVANCE of death and grave...now i do apologise if that doesnt make any sense 2 u but that quite frankly doesnt bother me :roll:

u answered that yourself....u jus couldnt understand the relevance of me saying it so thats what i made clear duh :!:

[quote="Seraphim"]What i meant is: if the grave does remember us umphtine times... wats does that mean??[/quote]

maybe muslim_kuri meant people can easily be ignorant of remembering death but the grave remembers us 70 times a day...since the topic is about death.

never really heard of it 70 times but the grave happens to remember us every day.

if PPL knew that our grave never remembers to forget us maybe they will think of death more frequently

muslim_kuri — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 - 14:37

thnx naj that is what i meant - maybe i should explain myself a lil better BUT Seraph was jus being annoying :!:

Salaam

I borrowed some money off a cousin sister, but i forgot to pay her back :oops: :oops:

It's been a while now, I also know that if i return it she won't take it back.

Will it be OK if I slipped it into her purse or summat? or would that be wrong?

I'd appreciate any advice.

Wasalaam.

lol i always do that to my friends (often unsuccessfully) when i know they wont take it... 🙂 never seen it as summat wrong as such. :|

[quote="Beast"]Buy her a meal or something or a gift.[/quote]
yeh but thats only applicable if its a small amount of money u borrowed - if its over £5 IMO they could have a better use for the money.

Beast — Tue, 3 Jan 2006 - 16:35

Find out her bank account number and put the money straight into her bank.

I kinda thought that when your returning a debt, you should make it clear.
Don't know where i got that idea from

anyway thanx both of you.

I'll slip it into her purse. She always tells me to carry her handbag, cos she ends up losing it, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem for me 8)

lol, too much hassle for tenner, don't you think?

Beast — Tue, 3 Jan 2006 - 16:41

If slipping it into her purse doesn't work then find her phone bill and pay some of it off for her.

Or if she's on pay-as-you-go then buy some credit and put it into her phone when she's not looking.

Thanxs but her husband pays the bills etc. Plus she'd prolly get suspicious if i was going through their post.

I'll get the money in her purse, no probs about that.
