In Shi'a Islam, taqiya (تقیة taqiyyah/taqīyah) is a form of religious lie,[1] or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts, specially while they are in fear or at risk of significant persecution.[2] A similar concept in Sunni Islam is known as idtirar (إضطرار) "coercion". A related concept is known as kitman "concealment; dissimulation by omission". Also related is the concept of ḥiyal, legalistic deception practiced not necessarily in a religious context but to gain political or legalistic advantage.

This practice was emphasized in Shi'a Islam whereby adherents may conceal their religion when they are under threat, persecution, or compulsion. Taqiyya was developed to protect Shi'ites who were usually in minority and under pressure, and Shi'a Muslims as the persecuted minority have taken recourse to dissimulation from the time of the mihna (persecution) under Al-Ma'mun in the 9th century, while the politically dominant Sunnites rarely found it necessary to resort to dissimulation.

In Sunni jurisprudence, denying faith under duress or other permissible reasons as per Islamic law is viewed "only at most permitted and not under all circumstances obligatory". However, there are many examples of practicing taqiyya among Sunnis where it was necessary.

In the Shi'a view, taqiyya is lawful in situations where there is overwhelming danger of loss of life or property and where no danger to religion would occur thereby. Taqiyya has also been legitimised, particularly among Twelver Shia, in order to maintain Muslim unity and fraternity.

Since the 2000s, taqiyya has become a frequently invoked concept in debates surrounding criticism of Islam and especially Islamic extremism

Nice one op. Kindly, what's the difference:

•Genesis 20:2 Abraham introduced his wife, Sarah, by saying, "She is my sister." So King Abimelech of Gerar sent for Sarah and had her brought to him at his palace.

•2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

I'd like to know.

Scholar8200:
Abraham told a lie and he was made to confess it in Genesis 20:10-12
10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see [in us] that [justified] you in doing such a thing as this?
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no reverence or fear of God at all in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.
12 But truly, she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father but not of my mother; and she became my wife.

Hence that quote is not applicable.

channelz:
Okay.

what exactly is your problem here?

jcross19:
oga channels in what you quoted in verse 12 what did abraham says:? This is a problem when someone uses his or her anus to think.

Abraham did say he married his sister. So I learned.

Would that be tantamount to incest? No insults, here to learn.

jcross19:
don't derail the thread okay but I will help you cain married who? Seth married who? In the history of genesis that's their custom then but moses made it abominable.

I see.

Pardon me, but I was of the thinking that:

Genesis 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

That is considering this:

Genesis 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

I mean, he veered off as a wanderer towards the East, where he met his wife in the land of Nod?

This explains why nairaland sunni muslims lie so much and they do it so confidently. But the question is why should one believe in a religion that asks you to tell lies to defend it is that not a major red flag that it is a false 419 religion? cc demmzy15 and other muslim liars

truthman2012:


The devil is a liar and the father of those who lie.
For you are the children of your
father the devil, and you love to
do the evil things he does. He was
a murderer from the beginning.
He has always HATED the TRUTH,
because there is no truth in him.
When he LIES, it is consistent with
his character; for he is a LIAR and
the father of LIES (John 8:44).

A god that enjoins his worshiper to lie is the devil.

truthman2012:


Muslims with their fake identity just like the quran tries to fake the bible.

You opened a username ''truthman2013'' to copy (mine), original ''truthman2012'' Muslims copy Christians' songs, copy Christians' way of preaching etc. Why don't come to the original?

Don't you have shame? I must have been affecting your religion.

Now, what are the lies in the OP as all referensce are from your quran? Point them out.

Frustrated already?!
