Pilgrims, Did Jesus Read The Bible?

@olabowale,


I certainly respect your status as a married man, and I'm genuinely happy for you. However, being a married man or woman does not justify the need to lie - and that is why I would rather not pretend to go against my conscience in order to be agreeable with your views.


Lol. . let me share something with you:

   ~ a wise wife will ask for nothing less than an HONEST husband
   whom she can trust at all times!

   ~ a wise husband will preserve his marriage with wisdom
   and HONESTY at all times.

If spouses begin to tell "small lies", they are still lying to each other and living a lie! Heck! What kind of life would result in that marriage? Even in the case of a woman who is worried about her size and shape should not be lied to - that is the least thing she would expect from one who is called her husband! However, a wise husband knows how to first appreciate his wife and shares the truth with her in such a way that she would be happy to do something about it!

Perhaps, this issue of Muslims lying to their wives is not a recent phenomenon (certainly, a man does not have to be a 'Muslim' in order to lie to his wife). However, I remember just one incident recorded in the Hadiths when someone approached Muhammad about this:

   Malik's Muwatta Book 56, Num. 56.7.15
   Malik related to me from Safwan ibn Sulaym that a man asked
   the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
   "Can I lie to my wife, Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of
   Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
   "There is no good in lying." The man said, "Messenger of Allah!
   Shall I make her a promise and tell her?" The Messenger of Allah,
   may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
   "It will not be held against you."

Does that explain why many Muslims seek to justify lying to their wives? If that is the case, my little offer here is that they be very careful to not confirm to us that they have well qualified themselves to be the hypocrites that Muhammad warned about:

   Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 48, Number 847:
   Narrated Abu Huraira:
   Allah's Apostle said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three:
      (1) whenever he speaks, he tells a lie,
      (2) whenever he is entrusted, he proves to be dishonest,
      (3) whenever he promises, he breaks his promise.

Could we then say that such is the very same idea you have been seeking to justify all along? I pray not; but it strikes me that a husband such as you described actually fits the 3 signs of a hypocrite highlighted in the hadith above.


Thanks for the advice. Actually, like I hinted somewhere else, I'm safe from the hatman decree of 'Allah' who has promised by an irrevocable ordinance to make every Muslim to enter Hell fire (Sura 19:71). That is why I'm begging that you carefully consider the end before you get there!

@Pligrim.1: What I have simply demostrated with Bioscan, since that simple idea is too complex, is simply this, Knowledge is continuous. Discovery ain't stop yet. What is not known today or flatly disagreed upon, because of the available knowledge of the day, may be analysed and then be agreed upon in the future!

I will simply answer your theorem about  the alphabets in the Qur'an  with Verse 7 of the Third Chapter, known as Al-Imran; He it is Who sent down to thee the book; Init are verses basic or foundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book; Others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except God. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say; 'We believe in the book; the whole of it is from our Lord;' and none will grasp the message except men of understanding.

Pligrim.1, so you see what is explained in the Qur'an, the basic  or foundamental parts, and not the allegoric part, is enough to guide anyone, from before conception to after death! You are seeking the allegorical part, as to want to belittle the persperious book, you have your answer. It is self explanatory.

I encourage you to read suratul Zumar, Chapter 39. Please read it. May God guide your soul.

@olabowale,


Hehehe. . . obviously, our dear Olayiwo would have to get his vocabs right if he wishes to date someone like pilgrim.1. There is a world of difference between someone who is "fat", another who is "overweight", and the next who is "pregnant".


Lol. .  there again, na fabu! There is a world of difference between someone putting you down and another honestly appreciating and encouraging you with wisdom as much as he speaks honestly about any matter.
