Im quoting Sheikh Jadul-Haq `Ali Jadul-Haq
Therefore, it is clear juristically that, given his/her yet undetermined gender, hermaphrodites cannot mix with either men or women until after medication, carried out by a Muslim and competent doctor, which will determine his/her sex. The prohibition of mixing with males or females aims at evading any corruption that may occur in that case."
I agree with him.
Homosexuality is a subject that has been avoided by christians/jews/muslims...
I think i have a pretty good perspective on it from a religious perspective., so unless you can offer some solutions on how to solve this,....then i think its pretty much inherited.
The solutions like:
-Your not praying enough
-Your not reading the Quran
-Need to watch straight porn more often
-Stare at a playboy model for 3 hours
Are not valid solutions.
This requires MEDICAL intervention, and a correction of a DEFECT. The reason why i am pointing this out is why is it that God creates DEFECTS in the first place? This is not exclusive to hermaphrodites, but people who are blind, deaf, mute, or any other physical and mental abnormalities. These events obviously occured in the past, so how did they deal with it then? Probably very brutally and harshly and in a inhumane way. Again if it displeases God, he would NOT allow it to exist, yet he does. Why would he create a child with defect just to damn it and condemn it?
I dont want to degrade this thread by continuing to talk about homosexuality (we can create another thread for that) but i did want to bring it up and put it in some context since the question was asked.

Homosexuality is indeed a very touchy subject. Since evidence thus far seems to suggest that homosexuality isn't due to genetics, but rather to the exposure of the fetus to certain hormones, as well as to environmental effects, how can one be doomed to hellfire for something beyond one's control? I don't know the answer, and I certainly don't advocate prejudice against any group, nor do I believe that it is the role of a Muslim (anyone, for that matter) to do so.

I hope that isn't true but that makes sense. Why fly for billions of miles when you can cross dimensions and just enter that way? If aliens have been here, I think they are from different dimensions, and they're not extraterrestrials, they're still aliens but extra dimensional creatures. But there's no evidence for any kind of aliens, even though they still scare me. :lol Post more aliens verses from the Quran please.
I can further extrapolate on the nature and existence of evil...
Again, if evil is so displeasing to God, why would he allow satan respite time until the day of judgement? Why make a deal with satan? Also how is it possible for satan to tempt 6 billion people at the same time?
Remember, that God is allowing evil to exist for some purpose, that is still yet unkown, but my interpertation is kind of like the ying-yang thing. You cannot have the light without the darkness. its only in heaven where there is no evil, absolute peace and love and pleasure and bliss. Hellfire is NOT owned by satan, but it is Gods creation, and satan will suffer in it, the same way other humans with bad deads will suffer in it.
The purpose of hell and heaven exists because of accountibility of our actions, and this where beleivers in God need to get their shit together on whats important and non important instead of automatically condeming someone to go to hell.
Adolf Hitler vs some homo, who is going to hell?
A psycho dictator killing millions of people, or a homo who believes in god and tries doing good things.
This is one of the arguments i had with atrus in humiros thread, thats one of the reasons why i stated that God exists and that is because of our accountibility (indirect proof)
If you truly beleive that there is no God, that means adolf died getting away with killing 6 (im not sure of the exact number) million people, our puny and shitty justice system does nothing to account for the innocent killings of people.

Bit late for a response, but here you go.
The arguments don't work against Islam? What are these arguments you so casually dismiss? I didn't even mention any specifics. How about the fact that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam borrow much of their beliefs from earlier religions and myths? Egyptian, Pagan, and ancient Semitic beliefs are all over the place. Islam comes at the end, taking most of Judaism and Christianity, and adding some new ideas while slightly changing older ideas. There are many arguments that apply to all three Abrahmaic faiths
People that you've known convert back to Islam after not having a religion didn't think their position very clearly. Perhaps they were lazy in their faith or didn't care, reverted back when they felt they had to. Maybe they needed emotional support and reverted back to Islam. An atheist who has carefully pondered his position and all the many other positions would rarely convert, if at all. Who goes from the beauty and wonder of this universe to wondering about Moses and a burning bush?(thanks Christopher Hitchens!)
An atheist or any other person who has studied the sciences will not that everything is random. It's not. Evolution by natural selection is not random, it's quite the opposite. The ways in which stars and galaxies form is not random. The laws of the universe are not random.
Your argument for the existence of a god is quite weak. It's futile anyways, as you cannot prove or disprove any type of a God.
The Holy Qur'an does make sense. It's a book written by seventh century men looking to control people. Why do you think there's political law and moral law in there? Why do you think that there's so much subjugation of women in the book? Why do you think it allows for violence and wars(and/or taxation), if another population is unwilling to convert?
It makes "sense", but not logical sense. I have to understand the essence of it? What is the essence of the Qur'an? The essence of Islam is total submission to the will of Allah. Islam does not mean peace. Whenever someone tells me that, I just realize they are brainwashed.
The book was made perfect for the people at the time huh? What about people of today? it doesn't apply to them? Since it does apply, why wasn't the book written more clearly by this magnificent creator? This super-intelligent being would surely have known that people in the future would have a problem understanding its words, so the creator would have to make it quite clear. This is not true, nor is it true of any book. All books have been written by men, not gods.Zapages said:

Wrong. All the previous revelations BEFORE the Quran were written by God as well, except it was not really meant to be preserved and were delivered to a particular nation/tribe and group of people to suit their needs and want. Every revelation BEFORE the Quran verified the previous revelation and prophecised of a messanger after.
The discrepencies that exist between Judaism, Christianity and Islam is NOT because of God, it is because of Us and its tamperings, as well as giving authority to priests, rabbis, popes, monks who had no such authority. The translation of the events after jesus's and moses's departure also watered down and distorted the original message, that is why there are so many divisions among christianity and judaism.
Muslims refer to the quran as the only existinding miracle buecase it is written in a way that no human can duplicate, and that does indeed require reading and undestanding arabic.
.cda.......oh crap my lunesta is kicig in,.. i will reply more to ur post later on...
good nite.
Don't all these contradictions and changes imply that these books were written by men? How come God didn't get the book right the first time? You're telling me the creator of this vast universe decided to write a book specifically for people and tribes who inhabited a small patch of land in bronze-age Palestine, on a small planet circling a medium-sized star, in close approximation to the center of a galaxy which contains billions upon billions of stars, in a universe with billions of galaxies?MeowMeow said:
These previous revelations which were were written by God were not meant to preserved? If you got a revelation from the almighty creator, I'd think it would be quite important to retain the knowledge. Right?
The Qur'an is not that special. All these other holy books are not too special. Much of modern literature trumps these books, if not all. Well, there are some crappy books out there, but they don't claim intimate knowledge of the universe and demand you follow them or risk eternal punishment. Quite amazing that all these books were written at a time when humans had no knowledge of the sciences. The people in those times believed in anything that they could come up with. Magic, jinns(or djinns if you prefer), and other supernatural oddities were quite commonly believed by most of the people. Disease was thought of as punishment for sin for a long time. If you lived in those times, when someone told you this amazing book was written by the creator itself, you could quite easily believe them.
So I need to know Arabic to understand the Qur'an? Most Arabic people I know don't understand it all. They need tafsir just as much as a Pakistani dude like me. This whole idea proves that the book was written by Arabians who were quite proud of their language and customs. It would be highly illogical for a creator to write a book which only some of the people it was trying to save(from itself!) could even attempt to understand.
Have fun with the lunesta. I need some medicine like that too. Been an insomniac for way too long.
Masenkame said:
Understand this, it was never a "book" neither Jesus nor Moses or Muhammad ever wrote books.
What has been the inspiration and motivation for what they did and how they did it was recorded on paper for us to use.The revelation was written down in front of Muhammad( saw), on anything his companions could find, be it bones ,skin, stones etc.
You are saying that the people back then were just gullible and believed in creatures not being human, but yet till this day some of us believe in aliens being on earth others don't, what if these are one and the same?
I don't think that either arabs or anyone else is above the rest, Islam shows us how the arabs( of mecca) were the worst of that time, but with the light of Allah a civilazation was built with honour with and by people from ALL backgrounds.
I do agree though that arabic people usually are some of, if not one of the worst racist people. But so are Pakistani's Honor killings are a tradition in Pakistan. And sometimes only because the girl marries a black man although he is muslim.
However, here you go again confusing Ignorant Arabs with Islam. The companions of the Prophet (saw) consisted of people of different backgrounds from african to european.
Need I tell you how islam freed slaves and saves the week and neglected. Now you are making the simple mistake again of blaming islam for what it was actually fighting.
The Qur'an's arabic consists of such old and unused Words, that could hardly be considered arabic. Did you know that a Jewish rabbi HAS to be able to read the arabic of the Qur'an before he can become a Scholar?!
That is because the language used is the same as the words G-d used with Moses. The Qur'an helped the Jews understand their scripture better.
G-d gave the people before us the responsibility to guard and preserve His Word. They failed because men are forgetful and some of them mischievious. The Qur'an is different in this regard, numerous times Allah has promised to to preserve it Himself. This is known throughout the world as being true and fact, because the oldest pieces found and the earliest oral both coincide with each other and are exactly the same word by word.
This is an actual fact. If I go to the highest jewish scholar and the highest christians, they will both say that it stayed the same and was the exact words Muhammad(saw) preached and practiced.
Only Islam is special in that regard, it amazes me that you didn't know that.

I love how some people in this thread continue to use aggressive words and insults against each other over something that is supposed to be a discussion. Is that how you would normally talk in real life? Don't know what to say so you attack the person?
Seriously. This is why I laugh every time someone pulls out the "ignorance" card. Why do you people continuously try to separate Religion and Science? If any of you even bothered to read religious texts seriously you would come to realize that education and knowledge are highly respected traits in all of those texts. There are countless examples that show the use of logic and reason to diffuse situations and solve arguments without violence.It's so sad that people always try to separate the two exactly how are you using logic properly again? Are you guys really smarter than the people and events in those tects from long ago, if in this day and age you still act in such a manner?
It is a very foolish thing to say that religion and science cannot go hand in hand. There are doctors, surgeons, engineers, teachers etc who believe in a sort of religion and there are those who do not. Would those who believe be foolish or worthy of being looked down upon or condemned? Would they suddenly become inferior to the others or their years of practice and knowledge a wash?
It sickens and saddens me when it reaches the point where people utter such comments about one another. What knowledge do you really have to call someone else a fool or idiot, whether they believe in a God or not? Neither of you can say for sure can you?
How different are they really that it has to come to the point where a Gaffer who I won't mention by name, stated in another thread that

Seriously. Grow up.
You're playing the same game. Using what little knowledge you know about the universe as fact.
At the end of the day. Whether a God exists or not, we are the only ones who can directly comfort and help each other, if after all these centuries we are still at the point where one cannot show love for their neighbor be it because of race, political views, religion or whatnot. Then we have already failed and will continue to do so.
Don't do good for God, do good because it's the right thing to do for your fellow man. Whether a God exists or not you will be doing what's right in the eyes of your fellow man and whatever God may be.

I think it comes from Muslims living in dangerous times, with the ok to lie to save one's skin, as opposed to dumb Christian martyrs slaughtered in the Roman colliseum because they didn't know when to shut up.
I think it also emphasizes that one's deeds are more important than one's words. So if one's lies, for example, deceives Israel but makes Palestinians' lives easier than the lie was definitely worth it.

Interesting. ll have to educate myself more on that aspect. I personally can't see how it would come into play very often... Even if someone did accept that doctrine, it seems unlikely that a true believer, eager to share his faith, would find much to censor.Warrior300 said:

Taqiyya is forbidden, except in instances where your life is in danger. I don't believe that the other Muslims here are resorting to Taqiyyah in order to hide away their "evil" beliefs.
There isn't much to hide anyways since hadeeth books can be found everywhere and the Qur'an can even be ordered online for free.
Oh, and any problems with Muslim Gaffers and their factual errors about Islam is probably because they learned Islam from the internet. Sorry Muslim Gaffers. =p

Well, I can give you examples, many iranians for instance, become "Christians" when they are refugees to make the citizenship process faster. but when they are at home, they are shia.
Off course there are many who are actually christians, and this doesn't negate that fact. It would be foolish to asume other wise.

This religion is just chock full of things that would have been so practical in the time of the prophet, but cause all sorts of strange side-effects today (if misused?)Instigator said:
protection for those who follow religions of the book = permission to persecute non-abrahamic or atheists?
male guardianship of females (to lift their status) = male domination of females (to lower their status)?
non-idolatry of the central religious figure = death to those who depict him?
the origin of Islam being under persecution and necessitating self-defense = the willingness to put your foot down or go to war for anything related to Islam?
edit: Also, keeping one version of the Quran in one standard language to reduce translation errors (as in "the corruption of Abraham's religion over time") = worship of one language and the denial of the true Quran to non-Arabic speakers?

How about you actually find out why Shias used to practice Taqiyya.
Taqiyya was practiced by Shias in certain times in history when people used to kill Shias just because they were Shias and had different beliefs. Shia scholars allowed taqiyya only when your life was under threat. Its similar to how if you were a Jew in 1939 Germany, you would pretend not be a Jew to save your life.

Yes, this is not a problem, for in these instances, they were only doing it in self defense.
However:
Zararah narrates that I asked a certain question to Imam Baqar (R). He gave me its answer. Another person then asked the same question and the Imam gave him a different answer. Later a third person asked the same question, but the Imam's answer this time was different from the previous two answers. I then asked him: "O, the son of the Messenger (S)! The two persons who just came here to ask you questions were from Iraq and were Shias, yet you gave them contradictory answers". The Imam then answered: "O Zararah! This is good for me as well as for you and this will help us survive and prosper". (Usool Al Kafi, p.37)
This is the type of taqiyyah that Sunnis disapprove of.
