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.

Admin here is a question for you!

Q: you know meat is cut in a certain way to be halal to eat, fish is meat how come that does not have to be cut in a certain way to be halal to eat?

You — Sat, 7 Jan 2006 - 17:15

coz it was born 'zabeeh' (slaughtered. does not need to be slaughtered).

[quote]Sayyiduna Abd Allah ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him eternal peace) said: “Two types of dead meat and two types of blood have been made lawful for our consumption: The two dead meats are: fish and locust, and the two types of blood are: liver and spleen.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Musnad Ahmad and Sunan Ibn Majah) [/quote]

[quote]Sayyiduna Jabir ibn Abd Allah (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “What the sea throws up and is left by the tide you may eat, but what dies in the sea and floats you must not eat.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, no: 3809 & Sunan Ibn Majah)[/quote]

You asked me whether I wanted my posts edited or deleted.

I did reply to you earlier.

Please do not edit them. Just delete them if they upset you.

Thank you.

I will delete instead of editing from now on. can the other mods do the same 'til Omrow changes his mind.

Why is it that during Jamaat in mosque, lets say Jummah for example, that after the 2 Farz, everyone splits up and usually walks away from the place they were? We stand shoulder to shoulder during the 2 Farz but why not during the 4 Sunnat, 2 Sunnat and 2 Nafl too??

its not about 'splitting up' but more about 'swapping places' whilst remaining shoulder-to-shoulder (if u want). this is from a sunnah of the Prophet (s.a.w), after leading the salaah he would swap places with a sahabi behind him. all imaams do this as u may have noticed, but members of the congregation may choose to implement this sunnah as well.

plz correct me if i'm wrong ppl.

You are not supposed to resemble the jama'ah after it is finished. You are supposed to break up the lines abit.

Allahuakbar — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 - 10:10

Is keeping a beard farz or sunnah? I have heard different things from different people. Any quote from the hadith coz I havent read anything so far in the Qur'an about it.

You — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 - 16:13

in profile go down to avatar, and put the image url in.

Make sure the url is for the image, and not for the page it was on.

You — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 - 16:25

downoad it, resize it, upload it on imaeshack, tinypic or something similar, then add the link.

I just bought a sandwich from one of the school student unions - and on the back of said sandwich it has a date "1-22-06"

Now i'm concerned... I don't know if it's the expiration date or the date it was made...

No need to worry.

If it's dodgy it'll take care of itself.
