Allow me to answer this one.
Mohamed (pbuh) did this as ordered by Allah and as offered by her father Abu Bakr (a.s.). He lived with her only for 9 years and left her as a widow at the age of 18. The wisdom behind all of this is to have Aisha as a student for the whole 9 years to learn from the prophet the manners of an ideal marital life and then teach these manners through Hadith to the Muslim nation after Mohamed (pbuh) has died. Those manners which could not be discussed in a manly forum or in the Mosque coz the prophet would be embarrased to bring to his companions, all were told by Aisha for the rest of her life. As a former wife of the prophet, she would not and could not marry anyone else after Mohamed (pbuh). She was devoted entirely to teach all Muslim how the prophet was like in his home and how he fairly treated his wives. Bless her soul.

muslims believe that a stone in saudi arabia is the place where uncle abraham tried to sacrifice his son, and worships this stone

buddhists in sri lanka worships a tooth they say is of buddha

Hindus worship the lingam (penis) of lord shiva

I wonder what drives religious people (in some cases even educated people) to worship and believe in such rubbish?

what are your comments?

Why does John 1:23 quote Isaiah 40:3 and apply it to what John the Baptizer did in preparing the way for Jesus Christ, when Isaiah 40:3 is clearly discussing preparing the way before Jehovah? Because Jesus represented his Father. He came in his Father’s name and had the assurance that his Father was always with him because he did the things pleasing to his Father.—John 5:43; 8:29. Why does Hebrews 1:10-12 quote Psalm 102:25-27 and apply it to the Son, when the psalm says that it is addressed to God? Because the Son is the one through whom God performed the creative works there described by the psalmist. (See Colossians 1:15, 16; Proverbs 8:22, 27-30.) It should be observed in Hebrews 1:5b that a quotation is made from 2 Samuel 7:14 and applied to the Son of God. Although that text had its first application to Solomon, the later application of it to Jesus Christ does not mean that Solomon and Jesus are the same. Jesus is “greater than Solomon” and carries out a work foreshadowed by Solo

Etiquette guides always say that 'how do u do' is not a question, it's just a greeting. so u should respond by saying 'how do u do' again. but practically i have seen everyone answering ,"I m fine, thank you". What is correct?

Allah said in the Holy Quran:

[50:23] The companion said, "Here is my formidable testimony."
[50:24] Throw into Gehenna every stubborn disbeliever.
[50:25] Forbidder of charity, aggressor, full of doubt.
[50:26] He set up beside GOD another god. Throw him into severe retribution.
[50:27] His companion said, "Our Lord, I did not mislead him; he was far astray."

The "companion" here describes a jin that stays with a person all the time but cannot be seen. In judgement day, he/she will be the one who will say what you have done in your life.

When Islamic law ruled over the Muslim world........ Muslims were the best scientists and educators in the world.

When secular law ruled over the Muslim world....... Muslims became the most backward, degraded people on the earth .

The confusion caused by secular laws clashing with religious needs have spawned the scourage of TERRORISM.

"In the eyes of history, religious toleration is the highest evidence of culture in a people....It was not until the Western nations broke away from their religious law that they became more tolerant, and it was only when the Muslims fell away from their religious law that they declined in tolerance and other evidences of the highest culture. Before the coming of Islam it (tolerance) had never been preached as an essential part of religion...” –Marmaduke Pickthall

This guy for the past few months asks the same question about an Iranian girl at his gym. Someone explain this to me, because I just don't get it. It doesn't seem like trolling somehow, but it's odd.

I never seen someone's head so concentrated in trying to read something more than when I worked with mentally challenged people... its not insult its an observation. Did a preacher in Christianity ever stand before you to tell you they have the entire book memorized every single letter and pause and sentance and can recite them to you on command.. if you have please point him out to the world!
