deSika:
there must be a reason for doing something especially wen its widespread and wen it has to do with religion every symbol has a meaning.
anyway u guys need to do more research on why such a symbol wud be accepted in islam.
why not full moon or only star or the sun. there must be a reason. ur job is to find out

At desika, this thread is not for debates. If u want that open a new thread. You can't be wasting people's time when you know d response to expect.

And you can't be claiming the seeker if you wont have an open mind to what they have 2 say

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. If it isn't then feel free to hide the post.

I read your answer on the other thread; thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate. You mentioned that women are also going to get male versions of houris. I want to know if there is an hadith where this is written and if so, could you could please post the hadith. I ask this because I have heard before in an Islamic sermon that houris are going to be exclusively for men and this is due to the fact that men are going to get more than women in paradise because men's duties in Islam are slightly more tasking than that of women (they do more compulsory salaahs and no breaks in their ramadans).

Is there an hadith that says anything about male versions of houris?

deols you or anyone is yet to answer my 2nd question na

kulyie: deols you or anyone is yet to answer my 2nd question na

Sorry. will see to it.

what is the meaning behind the hijab?
and also why are there so many different variations?

In addition to that, it seems the reason why muslim women wear hijab is not spiritual, nor is it piety. Covering the hair/face cannot be considered an act of modesty because muslim men are not required to cover theirs. What's stopping women or homosexuals from lusting after them?

And don't tell me they're to lower gaze because that would invalidate the use of hijab since nobody would be gazing at anybody. It wouldn't stop women and gays from lusting after them either.

[Shakir 6:115] And the word of your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly; there is none who can change His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.


Shakir 10:64] They shall have good news in this world's life and in the hereafter; there is no changing the words of Allah; that is the mighty achievement.

Here Allah stated clearly that His words cannot change.

[Pickthal 16:101] And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.

Here Allah was changing His words by replacement after He had said His words cannot change.

(1)Unanswered Questions:

Why did Allah (if God) tell a lie? Can God lie?
Why was He inconsistent by changing His revelations? What happened to the ones earlier revealed that needed to be changed? Errors? Can God commit errors?

[Pickthal 5:101] O ye who believe! Ask not of things which, if they were made known unto you, would trouble you; but if ye ask of them when the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made known unto you. Allah pardoneth this, for Allah is Forgiving, Clement.

[Pickthal 5:102] A folk before you asked (for such disclosures) and then disbelieved therein.

(2)Unanswered Questions:

What questions did some muslims ask and what did they discover that made them turn away from Islam?
What secrets are there in Islam that only those who are ignorant of them remain in the religion?
Why would Allah forbid muslims from asking questions in search of truth as you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free?

Many hadiths have it that Muhammad was tormented three times and each of the times he almost gave up the ghost when he first had contact with Gabriel.

(3) Unanswered Questions:

Why would Muhammad be tortured to be sent good news?
What has good news got to do with punishment?
It is bad news that is associated with punishment, good news is expected to bring joy, why was Muhammad's case different?

[Pickthal 96:1] Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,

[Pickthal 96:2] Createth man from a clot.

[Pickthal 96:3] Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,

[Pickthal 96:4] Who teacheth by the pen,

[Pickthal 96:5] Teacheth man that which he knew not.

(4) Unanswered Question:

How did Allah teach Muhammad by pen (in writing) and yet he remained and died an illeterate man?

Abraham lived and died in Israel, not Arabia. Ishmael was sent out of Israel and went to settle in Arabia (Genesis 21:14). How is it that it was Abraham and Ishmael who jointly built Kaaba in Arabia?

Re: Islam: The Unanswered Questions

^You already created a thread for these questions here https://www.nairaland.com/1264183/islam-unanswered-questions and were ignored because it is obvious from your style of writing that you want to argue rather than to learn. This thread is for people that want to ask questions to genuinely learn not for those who want to argue and debate ceaselessly.

It is better for you to separate your questions from your opinions and ask clear questions at a time not muddled-up ones. Are you asking questions or making assertions? If you insist they are your questions, rephrase them clearly. If you want to give opinions, this is not the thread for that.

Thank you.

Is prophet Muhammed in heaven or hell?

The prophet Muhammed said every human has a jinn as companion including him, and that he has subdued his own qareen by allahs help, that the jinn now enjoins him to do good.

Question.

Can one convert a demon into an angel?

Can one summon a demon like magicians do, subduing it and using the demon to his advantage?

Sheik Maclatunji and Vedaxcool can enlighten us.

^
Jinns, are similar to the human race, good people bad people, good jinns, bad jinns! Bad person repents and becomes good, bad jinn repents and becomes good jinns, . . ., like humans, jinns sole purpose of creation is to worship Allah! And all shall be Judged by him!

vedaxcool: ^

Tanx vedaxcool for ur explanation. Are jinns demons? How can a Muslim convert his jinn?
