Messing With Nature

published by TPOS on 26 May, 2009 - 18:51

What are your opinions on scientists messing with things.

Like

Selective breeeding?
Cloning?
"Designer" babies?
Anything else?

I dont think they should mess with the genes really but selective breeding in animals has its advantages and doesnt seem so bad.

Would the world be i dunno...boring maybe if everyone made designer babies, cuz they would all be perfect? but then again everyone's idea of beautifull isnt the same as "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" so they wouldnt neccesarily be perfect to others. Well either way i don't agree with it. Has there even been any designer babies or is it something they think can be done??

And If you could have a designer baby what would it look like? (im "making" one now for my homework)

Salaam Alaykum,

I was just wondering if anyone does duaa for the deceased every thursday? and if you know why thursday is such an important day? i have been told it is because the night before Jumaah is very special and also something to do with the spirits of the deceased coming down or something? (not sure about the second one)
Can anyone tell me more? give Qur'an/hadith references?

Thank you,

i was reading surah baqara in the morning with the transalation and it mentioned the "sabians" anyone know who they are?

"Those who believe (in the Qur'an) and those who follow the Jewish (Scriptures) and the Christians and the Sabians, any who believe in Allah and the Last Day and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve"

[surah Baqara:verse 62]

How can I find a Husband without having a Boyfriend?

published by TPOS on 18 January, 2009 - 17:00

"How do I find my perfect husband without going out with a guy? I’m not going to know what somebody is really like through someone else so they may not be right for me.
Why is the Muslim way of marriage better?"

I need help answering the above questions because my friend wants to have boyfriends as she see’s that the only way of finding a husband. Obviously that’s wrong, well I’m not sure if it’s the same if you go out with the person you marry but if u do have a boyfriend and end up dumping him for someone else that is definitely a sin. Therefore I don’t want my friend to see this method as they only way and/or the best way.

Can anyone help me give her a good, convincing answer?

Any response is most appreciated,

Love you for the sake of Allah (swt) - ThE pOwEr Of SiLeNcE

Allah and the Qur'an

published by TPOS on 8 January, 2009 - 20:34

There is something i don't understand:

Why does Allah(swt) refer to himself as "we,us," in the Qur'an.

For example:

"Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide. "
(Surah Al-lail, verse 12)

And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
(Surah al-Lail

and why is there a reason why its in third person?

:S :S Sad

published by TPOS on 8 January, 2009 - 20:22

i was just wondering, do Jews believe in Jesus/ hazrat Isa (as)? i always thought they did, but not for any particular reason. i just thought of the bible; the old testament is the Jews and the new is Christian's so they must believe in him << (im not sure if that makes sense)
but i dont Actually know...
