[004:023] Prohibited to you (For marriage) are:- Your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, Mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (Who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone in,- no prohibition if ye have not gone in;- (Those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful;-

I'm still unclear if women is supposed to cover infront of her -Son-in-law
-Father-in-law
-And Sister's husband? I know one has to cover infront of her sister's husband, but when she has been made prohibited for her sister's husband, then does she still has to cover? the answer is yes, but why?

puzzled!!!!
I have been strickly religious for a very long time where i learned to love only God, and the way i feel about humans is that i do good to them and i have alot of compassion to a degree that i feel that i am that person, but i dont have love. i dont feel towards my aunt or close friend any different than i feel towards a stranger. whether a person is good or bad doesnt make the love any different, its only that if one is good im happy for him./her if they are bad i am disgusted but i still understand their situation. i have a very wonderful man in my life who deeply loves me and treats me the best any woman could wish for, but i cant love him as he loves me pasionately. i love him in that way as a husband, but its not a burning desire and i dont have such feelings for any man and i havent had them for years. i dont know if this is because my heart was only commanded and filled by the love for God, or is this how God intended for us to feel, only for him??? or am i wrong

What is it about family life that causes us to forget about everthing that needs change or improvement in our society. Shouldnt bringing a new life into the world make it all that much more imperative?

I call them ''seasonal Muslims'' in lack of a better term, but I'm sure you get the meaning. Here's one example (and 80% of Muslims in my country are like that): I have a co-worker who is Muslim and who doesn't drink alcohol during Ramazan (please understand that Muslims in my country are not practising ones) but he gets drunk for Eid and parties for 3 days.

I know that alcohol is forbidden in Islam - completely. He knows that too. I'm not trying to make you judge his actions. My question would be - between those two ''evils'' which one is more hypocritical? I mean if he can refrain himself from drinking for 30 days, why not respect those 3 days of Eid and remain sober? I just don't get it.

By the way, Eid Mubarak in advance! :) Hope you enjoy it with your loved ones.

I have the impression you are clever, well educated, independent, successfull, with a (slight) feminist streak and leftist and/or libertarian leanings.

Is there some correlation with verifiable reality, or am I just tuning in to a fundamentalist nightmare?

Religious wackos teach creationilism, Islamic extremists physically threaten British people on British streets. When will the voice of secular humanism be heard?

What gets me is how you HATE being preached at, but will turn around and preach hate and intolerance against Christians and other theists because (supposedly) we're a buinch of murderous hate-mongers who do nothing but shove our religion down people's throats. If you care so much about people not being indoctrinated, why don't you let them come to their own conclusions instead of trying to brainwash them into thinking that. if they don't believe that it is an absolute fact that God doesn't exist, they're mindless idiots? After all, isn't that the very attitude that you hate being directed at you by Christians who try to turn you into a Christian?

Here's the deal I will convert to your religion if your prayers can make this happen
I win todays loto 649 jackpot I have already bought a ticket (I do it for fun)

According to you , your religion is the one true religion
If your God can make this happen then I will truly convert
if I dont win the lottery than I will remain a witch as my
religion has already proven it self.


Are you up for the challenge?
If so then get praying.

Do you realize what time is actually based upon? Did you know that the study of the basis of Time alone can prove that the bible is nothing but a tale based upon the Sun and the Zodiac?

I've heard so many people shoot down the idea but I'm very spiritual. I have to say, I've always been very intact with my heart and I do believe in it. I just think there is more to it then what people like to shoot down. What do you all think?
