Do The Math. At What Age They Had Their First Child?.


Africans are very stupid. White men are telling you about underage and you suck it up

12 years old making babies? This is really strange.

tintingz:
You're right I don't want to believe in something, I want to know something.

Believe - accept that (something) is true, especially without proof.

There's difference between believing and knowing.

But it is hard to know everything. There are things you just have to believe until we can find the means of confirming it. Like the Rh factor. We just agree it is there since scientist said so. We believe, we do not know.

usermane:


There is no answer. Not the type that will convince everyone. Remember when I told you faith is blind.

The response that OP will get here is that Allah knows best why he created Rhesus factor, and no baby dies except by His will, and He will compensate the mother and baby for any loss due to the blood incompatibility, with exception when He wills to punish the mother.

Me, I can't think of any other response in support of an all intelligent creator. But this response you will notice is only admissible on faith alone. We have to assume that Allah planned everything, all the miscarriages and failed blood transfusion common before modern medicine. By creating men of different blood antigen instead of same antigen, or by designing human cell to react to another human cell no different from a bacteria.

I got this response a few times. I think it is a difficult question and if you're still Muslim you will understand me. But even though I do not get everything Abaqir explained, I feel his answer gives me more patience.

Empiree:
Doesn't antigen has some benefits to talk about. Why is your focus only on negative aspect?. There is always positive and negative, advantages and disadvantages. Both are necessarily needed to work together to put your body in check.

Antigen also prevents disease or sickness.



. second thought because of antigen?. You sure there was sincerity in your heart to begin with?. Medical practioners are recommended to get vaccine especially in the winter. Many reject flu shot despite many benefits taught by founder (s), Jonas Salk. I personally reject flu shot every year because I believe it doesn't do me any good. Some people still get sick after taken flu shot vaccine. But if you take medical cause they tell you vaccine prevents diseases 100% of the time. While benefits are derived from the flu vaccine for instance, antigen also produces substance that prevents sickness.

Everybody has second thought about everything. We're all human, no one is perfect. Even scholars do have their moments of doubt.

AlBaqir:



First, below is so far what science knows about rhesus disease:

Rhesus disease is caused by a specific mix of blood types between a pregnant mother and her unborn baby.

Rhesus disease can only occur in cases where all of the following happen:

* the mother has a rhesus negative (RhD negative) blood type

* the baby has a rhesus positive (RhD positive) blood type

* the mother has previously been exposed to RhD positive blood and has developed an immune response to it (known as sensitisation)


# How does sensitisation occur?

During pregnancy, sensitisation can happen if:
small numbers of foetal blood cells cross into the mother's blood

* the mother is exposed to her baby's blood during delivery

* there's been bleeding during the pregnancy
an invasive procedure has been necessary during pregnancy – such as amniocentesis, or chorionic villus sampling (CVS)

* the mother injures her abdomen (tummy)
Sensitisation can also occur after a previous miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, or if a RhD negative woman has received a transfusion of RhD positive blood by mistake (although this is extremely rare).

How sensitisation leads to rhesus disease
If sensitisation occurs, the next time the woman is exposed to RhD positive blood her body will produce antibodies immediately.
If she's pregnant with an RhD positive baby, the antibodies can lead to rhesus disease when they cross the placenta and start attacking the baby's red blood cells.

Rhesus disease can largely be prevented by having an injection of a medication called anti-D immunoglobulin.

Second, answer to your question lies in the Islamic philosophy of Evil. Rhesus D is just one example of "evil". Understanding this subject will help answer your micro question. Kindly read on this thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/5158036/evil-important-subject-islamic-philosophy

Jazakhallah Albaqir. I have seen your recent thread. This explanation is more satisfactory than the few I received. You look at Islam with depth, really diffrently from just how we are taught.

This is what I mean in lay man terms;
Rh Incompatibilty during Pregnancy

The rhesus factor D(Rhd) is an antigen in human blood. It has been discovered to cause birth defect and stillborn of new born babies if the mother is negative Rhd and the father is positive.

Why did Allah create an antigen that is dangerous to human babies? How are you as a Muslim able to renconcile Rhd factor with an all knowing, perfect God?

Thank you.

NB: I converted to Islam late 2014. I've learnt a lot about Islam from this section but I am beggining to have second thoughts.
