A Question for muslims?

Question

islam needs radical change and it has to come soon. no one let alone a muslim in this day and age would accept 7th century tribal laws (other than the radical muslims) as part of a system compatible with the 21st century. muslims are left with only 2 options. change islam to suit modern human rights or expect the death of islam within 50 years

what will muslims choose?

Answer 1

maybe theyll go back to the 6th century.

Answer 2

Islam is going through a natural metamorphosis that many religions go through as they struggle to adapt to the world around them. The Jews had the Messianic Zealots, the Christians had the Crusades, and the Muslims are have Fundamentalism (as yet unnamed). This seems to happen for religions about 600-1000 years after its foundation. Coming through this struggle to the other side, history has shown that the fundamentalist factions of the religion subside and a more universally palatable religion emerges.

I doubt that Islam will fade away any sooner than Judaism or Christianity.

Answer 3

I think you are generalizing things. Before you ask that kind of question i would advice you to check the facts. If Islamic law were to put in any part of the world today more then half of the crime will be gone in one day. For example if we keep Islamic punishment for rapist in American or England the rape victim will be glad to hear it and anyone who would want to rape will think millions of times before that person does any thing. Now tell me giving justice to the rape victim is it a bad thing or good thing If you say Good then you are excepting Islamic Law. Now tell me if you are making a person stopping from raping anyone just because of the punishment he will go through is it a good thing or bad thing. If you say Good thing then you are excepting Islamic Law.

Maybe your perspective in getting in the way of rising your thoughts to a higher plane. Don't be so insulting to others when you know so little about them. I call to Islam to forgive and educate this young person. His mind is not well. He has been mislead by ignorance. I pray for your soul young person. Why not make a study of Islam first. Islam is a great nation and the world can learn much from them.
War is what we both oppose. Yes. War.

Answer 5

Since Islam is the last religion revealed by Allah, it possesses some elements that make it unique. One of these is its relevance for human beings regardless of place and time.

This means that Islam - submission to God - is a comprehensive institution which includes all the guidelines necessary for all aspects of life. Therefore, the best way to understand Islam is to look at it as more than a religion - as a complete way of life. In other words, it is a system which regulates every aspect of life, dealing with all issues - social, economic, educational, judicial, health, and even military. Thus, it is suitable for all human beings and for all times, since it is the final religion. Islamic law aims to achieve five goals for human beings in life: protecting the religion, protecting one's self, protecting one's possessions, protecting one's mind, and protecting one's offspring.

Therefore, God (Allah) decided on two main domains of law:

1. If the domain always requires change and progress, Allah legislated comprehensive yet flexible rules and gave people the chance to create and develop the necessary laws to satisfy the specific needs of a certain period of time. For example, in the rule of consultation (Shura), Allah decided that it should be the general rule for any government; however, its form and style are left open for people to choose and decide according to their needs.

2. If the domain does not require or lend itself to change or progress, Allah legislated fixed and detailed laws that govern all issues related to a specific area. Thus, there is no way for man to change or develop those laws, which were made for the welfare of all mankind. For example, the area of worshipping God contains fixed details which cannot be changed at all. These regard prayer, fasting, making pilgrimage, etc. Another example is in family matters, such as the laws of marriage, divorce, and inheritance.

To show how Islam cares for the environment, one can cite the many laws that protect the environment. About fourteen hundred years ago. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:

"The world is green and beautiful, and Allah has appointed you as His stewards over it. He sees how you acquit yourselves."

Muhammad showed how important plants and trees are by saying:

"Whoever plants a tree and looks after it with care until it matures and becomes productive will be rewarded in the Hereafter."

Even in the territory of an enemy, Islam's care for plants, animals, and trees is profound. Abu Bakr, the first Caliph, or successor, to Muhammad (pbuh), instructed his troops that he was sending into battle not to cut down any trees or kill any animals except for food.

These are but a few examples of how Islam remains relevant in the modern world.

Answer 6

Answer 8

I can see you're a brain-trust! You ignorant idiot!! It is not the religion, it is the governments that choose to twist Islam to how they want it to be. Islam is a peaceful religion. Ask any Islamic and they will tell you. Get a book on Islam and read it before you ask such a stupid question.

Answer 9

My Friend, Mehdi has already come. What more do you need to know than that?

But Muslims didnt accept him and Martyred him. just as Jews didnt see Christ for who he was. It was in the early to mid 1800's.

His name was Siyyid 'Ali-Muhammad. He was born in 1819 in Shiraz, Iran. He is reffered to as The Bab which means the Gate. He was the forrunner of the Bahai' faith. Read about it here:

Answer 10

A true muslims will not make a choice(the radicals). As for me all religions should change compatible with the 21st century.

If you ask me again, we should abolish all religion. The world will be a better place and peaceful.

Answer 11

Islam is the only faith that is accepted by Allah,He created it and perfected it.It is a favor upon those who believe, and terror to the disbelievers.And amongst the muslims who "innovate",falsely believing that Deenullah,needs to be improved,this has been described as bid'ah,and every bid'ah that is introduced to Islam leads astray,and for every leading astray a seat is created in the fire.
