my dear makavali :
- i know it turns political but i suck at politics and this way i won’t be able to answer.
2)no no no no , i wanted questions that show what islam is. because i believe that it is perfect and that does it fine for me.
3)A)the reason behind the prohibtion of pork is because allah prohibted it. there are no other reasons in the quran or ahadith that say why other than god’s command.
but we do believe that allah is the wise whose orders and prohibitions are not meaningless, but rather contain rationale and wisdom.
Therefore, you can rest assured that, in the final analysis, the harms of eating pork outweigh its benefits, even if we have not yet learned or discovered the details of this.
however scientific research has discovered some health hazards related to pork . The following summary is extracted from a scientific paper on the website of the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences:
(The more important and definitely proven hazards connected with the consumption of pork are the two parasitic zoonoses, trichinellosis and systemic cysticercosis. Both these infections can be life threatening and their prevention requires difficult measures including change of food habits.
Of the non-communicable diseases attributable to pork consumption (food) allergy and liver cirrhosis have been shown to occur, though more work is needed to prove its aetiological role in cirrhosis.
Consumption of pork and lard can give rise to hyperlipidaemia, constituting a risk factor in cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, high pork and lard consumption in a low fiber diet would have a correlation with high incidence of cancer of the colon. However, these risk factors are shared by pork with other meats and foods of animal origin.
Of the additives used in curing pork for preparation of ham, bacon, sausages, etc. nitrites could be a hazard as they are converted to nitrosamines which have been shown to be carcinogenic in animals. The exact risk for man is not known and nitrites are present in many other foods including vegetables and sometimes in drinking water.
Pig breeding establishments can be sources of transmission of zoonoses to people exposed to living animals; these include leptospirosis (swineherds disease), brucellosis, erysipeloid and anthrax. Pigs may also increase chances of spread of balantidial dysentery and Japanese encephalitis. However, other meat animals can also act as sources of some of these zoonoses and of others which may be equally (or more) dangerous.
Pigs can cause strong psychological reactions (e.g. disgust) especially when scavenging on rubbish heaps or wallowing in mud mixed with their own excreta.)
B)who told you that they are opressed?
muslims don’t claim that men and women have the same rights. god clearly stated that they are not the same and that god has made men the providers and caretakers of women and that in a marriage the man has the upper hand so long as he does provide for his wife.
here from the quran: bism illah alrahman alrahim (and when she gave birth to her she said ’ lord i have given birth to her, a female’. and god knew very well what she had given birth to; the male is not as the female. and i have named her maryand commend her to thee with her seed to protect them from the accursed satan. her lord recieved the child with gracious favour.)(3:35-37)
but on the other hand that doesn’t mean that god denied the women of any rights but they have their own rights.
here from the quran:
bism ilah alrahman alrahim
(To men is allotted what they earn, and to women what they earn: But ask God of His bounty. For God hath full knowledge of all things) (4:31-32)
C)what i meant by recently was before islam not recently as in the past week. before islam women were objectified as sex and entertainment objects no more no less, after islam they were looked upon as human beings who have rights.
D) God forbids the homosexual act in the strongest possible language. it was mentioned in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah even FURTHER detailed in the Qur’an, but God clearly stated in the quran that any sexual act committed with anyone aside from one’s wife, is considered “fornication” or “adultery”. Both “fornication” and “adultery” are Major sins.
Many homosexuals claim that the homosexuality is permitted because people are “born that way”.
This is not acknowledged in Islam. as i said before every one born has the right to choose what to do wether sins or good deeds.
also, each individual has a different set of temptations that seem to trouble him most. sadly, people tend to excuse themselves in the things that are MOST difficult for them to avoid for the sake of God.
regarding the above argument, EVERY person decides whether or not to engage in the homosexual act or not, and for that reason, every time they fall prey to their own desires or Satanic inclinations, they are accountable.
Some may argue that certain people get attracted to the same sex more often than others, but this is not disputed.
all of the people get all sorts of desires, inclinations, fetishes, and addictions: these range wide on the scale of humanity. The point is that EACH PERSON is tested in the thing they love most, to see whether they will refrain from it for the sake of God.
Secondly, sexual desire is a matter of environment. When people honestly want to remove a sexual desire, they have to be serious with themselves and know that certain environments create this desire moreso than others.
Some people indulge in sexual literature, movies, pictures, discussions, or people and places that share their views. This FURTHER increases the temptation instead of combating it.
god recommended fasting if u can’t keep ur lust in check.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: God curses the one who does the actions (homosexual practices) of the people of Lot repeating it three times; and he said in another Hadith: If a man comes upon a man then they are both adulterers.
bism illha alrahman alrahim
(what do you come to male beings, leaving your wives that your lord created for you? nay, but you are a people of transgressors. they said’ if thou givest not over, lot, ththou shalt assuredly be one of the expelled’, he said’ truly iam a detester of what you do’.�? my lord deliver me and my people from that they do. so we delivered him and his people all together, except an old woman (his wife) lingered behind. Then, the rest We destroyed utterly.(26: 164-172).
E)they are drawn away from it because they are drawn away from their faith.
now i have a question for you why do u take my longest posts and ask about them lol? hahah
