04:34
Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and hit them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

To explain how 4:34 can be implemented without this leading to domestic violence, the best analogy and the most relevant I have found is that of law enforcement. Throughout the world, the police have the right to strike a person who is about to break the law, for example a person who wants to set fire to a building. The police are required to sternly warn the person to stop their behavior, and if they do not, they have the right to intervene physically and subdue the person to prevent them from doing harm. The right of the police to strike any citizen they want given the appropriate circumstances establishes a certain type of order within society.

In the West, law enforcement is the job of the police; they are given the right to use violence when necessary to carry out this job. Islam creates a second law enforcement jurisdiction that is non-existent in the West, that of the family, with the power of policing given to a husband (rather than a police force) within this internal family jurisdiction

2:187
The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month. And eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall.

But it can be said that they transgress this boundary because they exchange water molecules across the boundary, mixing at a slow and microscopic level. Given sufficient time, these water bodies will fully mix, fully transgress the barrier.

At some point in some years, there is no dawn, sunset or night in the poles of the earth. This is known as period of midnight sun. Ramadan sometimes falls in the period of midnight sun, like this year in a place like Norway. So, in 2019, Muslims in Norway could not commence their fast at local dawn and break at night.

It begs the question, if the author of Qur'an is the creator of the heaven and earth, why dictate rules for fasting Ramadan, rules that are not possible to fast by in certain years at certain parts of the earth during Ramadan?


Also note that during the period of midnight sun, certain salats like Fajr, Maghrib, Isha'i will not be possible as they depend on dawn, sunset and night to tell when they due for observance.

2:145
And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the sacred mosque, and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces (when ye pray) toward it.

2:29
He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth. Then turned He to the heaven, and fashioned it as seven heavens. And He is knower of all things.

18:94 - 96
They said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Lo! Gog and Magog are spoiling the land. So may we pay thee tribute on condition that thou set a barrier between us and them? He said: That wherein my Lord hath established me is better (than your tribute). Do but help me with strength (of men), I will set between you and them a bank. Give me pieces of iron - till, when he had levelled up (the gap) between the cliffs, he said: Blow! - till, when he had made it a fire, he said: Bring me molten copper to pour thereon.

Till this very day no one knows where these walls are. We're in the age of GPS and satellite, we can survey the entire earth now but we cannot tell for certain the walls DQ built.

All the walls speculated by Muslims as the walls of Dhul Qarnayn, cannot hold back the so called tribes of Gog and Magog any more since air crafts and missiles capable of flying over walls have been developed by men. Gog and Magog are men.

So, either Gog and Magog have trespassed the walls now or the entire Gog and Magog story run the risk of becoming a myth. If Gog and Magog tribes have trespassed the wall, who were they?

NB: Muslims once thought the Mongols who destroyed the caliphate in 1258 were the tribes of Gog and Magog.

You are not Muslim and you never was.. You are a trojan horse. It is as clear as day light again from your posts up there. It is only now I can say you are transparent by stating your position rather than previous years where you hide on the pretense of criticizing "traditional muslims".

You are not Muslim, period. You can try as much to curry flavor your position, it doesn't cut. You have made takfir of all muslims in the past.

Islam predated science and there will continue to be scientific discoveries because all future knowledge and developments already came with Adam (as). So Allah will made these discoveries known by stages with time. There are over one thousand tafsir books and they all have different ideas, explanations and interpretations. We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us - The Qur'an
