4.) Is it true that Mohammed prescribes a maximum of four wives for
a Muslim man? How many wives did Mohammed have?

Muhammad did not prescribe, Allah did in Q4 vs 3

وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَىٰ فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَىٰ وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ ۖ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا فَوَاحِدَةً أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰ أَلَّا تَعُولُوا

If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.


The prophet married a total of 11 times. Maximum number of 9 wives at a time

......................................... ...........

In following up on your answer to Question 4, was it that Prophet
Mohammed disobeyed Allah's command? Or was the commandment
issued after he was already married to more than 4 wives? Or does
this particular commandment exclude him?

Ans

the prophet is human. he has special responsibility and in return enjoys special rights. for example, he is able to fast for days without breaking the fast and he specifically ask his followers not to do that. Having more than 4 wives was allowed for him as it was allowed for some prophets before him. it is stated in the Qur'an 33 vs 50 that:


O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that there should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

I don't have sufficient reference for question 2.


3.) Is it true that the Quoran prescribes death sentence for anyone
who converts from Islam? If Yes, is it true that a Muslim will be
rewarded if he carries out this death penalty?

The Qur'an doesn't prescribe death for them. BUT THOSE WHO LEAVE ISLAM ARE TO BE KILLED UNDER SHARI'A.

I don't know of any evidence which says there is reward for a Muslim who carries out the killing.

1.) Is there anywhere in the Quoran where Allah declares that he
loves human beings or Muslims? Is Allah capable of love?

Yes, Allah is capable of love e.g, Q3 vs 134

الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ وَالْكَاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah loves those who do good;-

damogul:



Google is your friend.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Stone


So why love a black stone so deeply if it holds no relevance? Read the link I just pasted. Thank me later.

Toorh! everything wiki and google say is the most correct bah?

you are really trying hard to make us belief we worship it. Because without that, other condemnation hold no water....... keep trying.

annunaki2:


Stop trying to be smart with your silly question, the stone is venerated and highly revered in islam, if that is not worship what is it What is the difference btw that and what pagans do with their stone statues?

so significant in Islam that it was not even mentioned in the Qur'an?
Muslims do not worship it.
the pagans held the belief (among others) that their statue can do them good or evil. The black stone is a black stone. it neither brings good nor evil. that is the belief of Muslims.


Does loving, something so dearly equates to worshipping that something?


****modified******
most of us do not even hold much love to it talk less of venerating it.


Al-Bukhârî reports that ‘Umar – Allâh be pleased
with him – came to the Black Stone (performing
tawâf, circumambulation), kissed it, and said, “I
know that you are a stone, you do not cause benefit
or harm; and if it were not that I had seen Allâh’s
Messenger – peace and blessings of Allâh be upon
him – kiss you, I would never have kissed you.”

Do Muslim worship the stone?

Newnas:


Thanks so much, I really missed the forum too.
I got married and also relocated so I have been busy settling down and putting things in place.
Don't mind those zombies. I ask Allah to turn to them in repentance. The Shia and Jahmiyyah sects, I don't know which is more misguided. Though the scholars almost agree that they are the worst of all the deviant sects. in fact most scholars don't recognize them as one of the misguided 72 sects in Islam, many scholars regard them as another religion entirely.

wow, may Allah put barakah in your marriage. May he grant your home happinesses and make us among the successful in the hereafter.

ERM! me sef wan marry o....... May God make it easy for us who are yet to marry.

Newnas:


on the authority of Jabir bn AbdiLLaah (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) that he heard the Messenger of Allah alyhissolaat wassalaam saying in the year of conquest (i.e conquest of makkah), while he was in makkah "Indeed Allah and his Messenger alyhissolaat wassalaam have forbidden the trade of of alcohol, and dead animals (that died without proper Islamic slaughtering), and pigs, and idols" so it was said: oh messenger of Allah, inform us about the fat of dead animals, because indeed it's used to paint ships, and used to oil leather skins, and the people use it as illumination (i.e lamp) he alyhissolaat wassalaam said "No, it's forbidden" then the messenger of Allah alyhissolaat wassalaam said after that "may Allah curse the Jews, indeed when Allah forbade it's fat upon them they melted it then sold it and consumed it's income".
Reported by Bukharee (2236), Muslim (1581), Abu Dawood (3486), Tirmidhi (1297), Ibn Majah (2168), Nasai (4683).

See also Bulughul maram by Ibn Hajar (735) and it's explanation in Imam San'aani's subul salam.

And the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught us an important principle when he said: “When Allaah forbids a thing, He (also) forbids its price.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 3488; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Ghaayat al-Maraam , 318.

I found The second hadith in the link posted by lexiconkabir, may Allah reward him with good in this world and the hereafter. I wanted to mention the hadith the first time I answered your question but I couldn't recollect any way to trace it and reference it. But AlhamduliLlah I found it now.

Paradoxically, I have the book which was referenced, though I didn't even think of it when I was trying to answer your question.

"Your posts are too long."

What can i reply to you other than to say :DIFFERENT strokes for DIFFERENT folks.

THE TIME IT TAKES TO WRITE SUCH A LONG POST....................IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO THE TIME IT TAKES TO READING IT.

It takes far longer time to write than to read no matter the length be it SHORT or LONG. And its all comes down to CHOICE and INTEREST.


"Its is part of our Religion to say little (pure, undiluted truth) with heavy meanings". Thank you for you SUGGESTION. While your suggestion makes no MEANING TO ME though i expected such from you.

"Its the MALADY of our AGE that the young are so BUSY teaching us that they have no time left to Learn" Eric Hoffer.

What is so Long about the Post...............IF A MUSLIM CAN CRAM A WHOLE QURAN IN HIS HEAD.

I know when to use MY SHORT GUN and when to use MY LONG ONE too.

"Your post are too long"

The question to you is where is your own contribution of "little (pure, undiluted truth) WITH HEAVY MEANING. Am yet to see one.

Muslims always boast of being the fastest growing religion. While Muslims forget that NUMBERS counts for NOTHING.

"Doing NOTHING is harmless, BUT BEING BUSY DOING NOTHING IS NOT" Eric Hoffer.

Think about it.

"The believers, men and women are protectors, one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practice regular charity and obey Allah and His Apostle. On them will Allah pour His MERCY: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise" Q9v71

May Allah increase us in Iman. Thank you for your prayer which i but say Amiiiiiiiiiiiin!

While we await your "little pure undilluted truth with heavy meaning.

PLEASE IF YOU CANT READ MY LONG POST. KINDLY DONT BOTHER YOURSELF BECAUSE AM NOT HERE TO PLEASE PEOPLE.

Sorry

That book and the bible are the ones competing now for which is a BIGGER LIE...........LIES SELLS LIKE HOT -S-HIT.........WHY DO YOU THINK WE HAVE SO MUCH FLIES AROUND LATELY?

Another HOT -- S-HIT has been droped.

your posts are too long. it is part of our religion to say little (pure, undiluted truth) with heavy meanings. may Allah increase us in eeman.

Demainman1:


Una say Muslim women don't change their names after marriage. Is Babangida, Abacha and even Buhari not Muslims? If I remember very well, their wives use their surnames and not the maiden names

They do. And as far as I know, it is not a sin on them. But it is an act that is not encouraged by Islam.

It is not a Yoruba culture too but a culture brought to us by our colonial masters.

my point is not where it comes from or who is practicing....... But on what basis should people demonize people who don't like it the way they did on the front page of the post?

kandiikane:


It is.. Where I am from Majority are muslim and the women hardly change their names. I don't even know any married women that changed their names.

I guess you live in a sane society. unfortunately, Muslims are being influenced, where I live, to adopt the culture of changing surname..... so unfortunate.

bolseas:


Muslim women are allowed to keep their surnames after getting married. it was never copied from whites.please say what you know.

my husband didn't allow me change my name. but because of documentation issues especially after having a child, I had to let him see reasons why I need to change my name by adding my surname and his name and he accepted.

this doesn't make my husband a weak man, it makes him a man who respects God, respects me and my father.

Keep calm and reread my post...... we are on the same page.

Mickael2:


I am seriously trying to figure out the connection between a sports thread and this rubbish. I couldn't care less about this your nonsense. please do not derail this thread with that. I am not trying to insult you but do the right thing and keep is on track

I don't really like the lady because she also makes this kind of harsh comment. But guy, you fall my hand o...... You could have corrected her in a more matured manner........ oya apologise and correct her in the right way......

kandiikane:

In many cultures, women can retain their names if they want to, the decision is totally up them, changing name in Africa was brought to you by the white man.

it seems not many people here knows it is a western culture imported to Nigeria as a result of colonialism. It is even a 'Christian thing' as any Muslim doing such could be said to lack in dept knowledge of his religion..........

I don't think I will even support my wife to hyphenate her surname not to talk of changing it patapata.

I still can't understand how Muslims find time to reply these people. apart from preventing them from misguiding others, words with them is a waste of precious time.

Please who has shipped electronics like laptop and phone with Infinitikoncept? Can someone vouch for his services?

@crusadistic

Can you bring forth an evidence that a nonbeliever can be accused wrongly?

Perhaps, your evidence will be stronger than mine.

crusadistic:

bro... you serious o.I should start calling Ifeann the infamous whor!e-monger,a 'chaste woman',lol .Well,dont expect me to treat the one who slanders Allah and his Apostle(SAW) with any respect.In a Sharia state,she would have been long dead!

The one who slanders Allah and his Apostle (SAW) WILL BE DISGRACED BY ALLAH:

Q 31 vs 23

But if any reject Faith, let not his rejection grieve thee: to Us is their return, and We shall tell them the truth of their deeds: for Allah knows well all that is in (men's) hearts.
.................

Your own part as a Muslim is:

Q 3 vs 134

الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah loves those who do good;-

There brother, Allah commands us to be just in our dealings. Do not transgress out of anger...... Correct the disbelievers and if they persist, leave then to Allah.

Remember Allah's command to Musa:
Q 20 vs 44

"But speak to him mildly; perchance he may take warning or fear (Allah)."

..............................
May Allah's wrath be hastened on liars, transgressors, hypocrites

crusadistic:

Bro... We know her-she's a PROSTITUTE! tartar9 is correct.

Do you know the ruling before you can name someone a prostitute in shari'ah?
Remember this verse is not about muslims alone:
Q 24 vs 12

بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَلَا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً أَبَدًا ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;-

And this::


Q 24 vs 23

الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ لُعِنُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

Those who slander chaste women, indiscreet but believing, are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter: for them is a grievous Penalty,-

i dont know why you muslims are allowing the wahabis win. you as a shia should be appalled by the attempts of sunni muslims to propagate the idea that muhammad ali was a sunni when in fact he left sunni islam in 11 years ago for the peaceful sufis.

...................
Qur'an 2 vs 120
Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee UNLESS THOU FOLLOW THEIR FORM OF RELIGION. Say: 'THE GUIDANCE OF ALLAH, THAT IS THE (ONLY) GUIDANCE. 'wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither protector nor helper against Allah.
.......................
Qur'an 9 vs 67
The Hypocrites, men and women (have an understanding) with each other. THEY ENJOIN THE WRONG, AND THEY FORBID THE RIGHT, AND THEY WITHHOLD THEIR HANDS. They have forgotten Allah; so he hath forgotten them. VERILY THE HYPOCRITES ARE REBELLIOUS AND PERVERSE.
