^ LOL Qac Qaac..and you wonder why these is a higher rate of divorce!! You dont get married to fight temptation. Are you saying you cant control yourself? Pls, bruh. Marriage is more than just sex. 1

Another way of objectifying women! Amazing...

It's really NOT that complicated, Jamaal.

Oh my god, I am dyslexic. Actually read what APLUS wrote normally!!!!

Originally posted by Khayr: If someone follows a certain madhab like the Hanabli fiqh, then its wajib. Fi Amanallah Wajib? as in a must? Is this supported in the Koran, Kayr? Isn't making association to God a form of Shirk? If yes, then why "follow" a certain madhab?

I am not much believer in the Hadiith (because I don't know how authentic they are, no matter how many scholars tell me this), but I accept the verse you gave me from the Koran. But what is Idle talk exactly? and you stated that Idle talk was interpreted in different ways....care to state what they all are? All I am saying is ...each scholar has their own biases...some strongly believe that music altogether should be prohibited ..and others say..the opposite.

^^ Psychosis is in the eye of the beholder

Since the Quran is the Most Complete book in this world...Someone please tell me WHERE in teh Koran it says that piercings are haraam? Khayr, Piercings are not a new phenomenon, its been done for centuries even by muslims..so how do you know whom we are imitating..muslims or others?

Faith and reason go hand in hand, really. You can't have faith in something unless you used your reasoning and best judgement. You can't just follow blindly and say you have faith. But you need to find the knowledge, use yor reason and then in turn have a stronger faith because you understand. I am not much of a philosopher...like sophist up there..but this is just how it makes sense to me!

Raxma and Salafi, thanks guys! Khayr, Bruh, excuse me but where in my post was I rude? Straight-forward and not beating around the busy - maybe...but disagreeing with you is Rude? lol I mean I understand why you feel that women in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant..cause maybe that's how you've been raised, or maybe picked it up from the streets..but do not.. I REPEAT ...do NOT talk to me in a degrading manner as you have done! capiche?

Modesty, Abaayo, I've been looking all over the place for an ayaat that states that...Do you know where I can find that specific verse? Sagal, I did not say it rudely..but I didn't sugar-coat it either..but the studies that were posted were not COMPLETE....in school, there is this course called critical thinking..and it teaches you how to sift thru articles that have crappy statistics..and this one sure had many of them!!!! Sorry hon, but I'm just using my judgement here...(read my disclaimer) peace

Where I work..the dean is black...my supervisor is black..my supervisor's boss is black...we got 2 indians..chaldeans..even Somalis ...but I can honestly say I am the only Canadian here! So work is here is quite the norm!

Khayr, If my views make me psychotic, then so be it! At least I don't contradict myself

Originally posted by Jaahuur: Flying Still, Yes Qur’an and Hadiith are the main sources of the Islamic sharia but that is not all. There are things which are not mentioned in either one of them. I’m pretty sure you know what FIQH(Islamic Jurisprudence) is. It refers to the legal rulings of the Muslim scholars, based on their knowledge of the shari`ah; and as such is the third source of rulings and to disregard this and demand for ayad iyo xadiith, xujaan u arkaa walaal. Ladiif So you are telling me that if something is not in the quran or a saxiix hadiith...we should go and make up whats halal and whats haram? Hello? does anyone see what's wrong with this picture. Islamic jurisdiction is derived from the ayaats of the quran to support it. I dont think I can take the advice of a scholar, no matter how well known he is in your community, If he doesn't have a source. Allah (s.a.w.) did not make everything on this earth HARAM...and whatever is unlawful to us is STATED in the QURAN...and some hadiths. peace

Flying still, I pray to ALLAH (s.a.w). Think of it this way..all our hardships in this life is a test, so ALLAH (s.a.w.) meant for us to go through this passage. When I remember that (even though it's hard at times)...that realization makes me feel better! Khayr, Originally posted by Khayr: [QB] and the women are out in the plenty in the streets. Bruh, maybe you feel like your ibadah is low in the summer time. That is your perogative really. However, I don't like the way you phrased the above sentense as if to say that women being out in the "plenty" is the cause of your low ibadah. I really don't like when muslim men refer to women in such mannerism..and I don't think Allah (s.a.w.) would be too pleased with that either. if you feel like women wearing less in the summer bothers you, then follow what ALLAH (s.a.w.) has instructed you to do ..and LOWER YOUR GAZE. ya feel me?

All in all, Islam puts things in perspective!

I'm sorry if I sound blunt, but what is your point? I mean ..look at what you wrote about drivers listening to music. The study was done on young girls from 10-18 and their reactionary time...how is that relavent? Many conclusions can be made just by those facts... Please bring us more ...INFORMATIVE...studies next time..cuz that one really didn't get to the point! :cool:

Happy birthday, Runaway-Virgin! :cool:
