Re: Actor Brook Shields Islamic linage

Got it.. but then why are they Syeds? And why do they claim their heritage to be special? I always thought Syeds are special cuz of their lineage and always respected them all my life but to learn they can make same mistakes as we so called "common" human beings can makes me feel lil upset... what makes them special then? Nothing?

Quas he has one of those printed booklet thingies which all shias report to( I think).

Re: Actor Brook Shields Islamic linage

the guidance of that comes from our religion itself..
no one has any preference on anyone, except for their taqwa.
and taqwa is in your actions, in your approach, not in your lineage.

:k: true- Infact you are talking very much like a sunni scholar I used to frequent in Lahore :slight_smile: . You’re ansolutely right! there are things in our religion that we dont fully understand -like these Syeds you mentioned who claim their ancestry but nothing is visible in their actions.. or anyone who claims special status should be willing to submit himself/herself to the god and should be known by his actions and good deeds not his name.

A thread full of fabrication is a sticky.... hmmmm :)

Re: Actor Brook Shields Islamic linage

Simple maths. Starting with one person 1500 years ago, assuming each of his/her decendant has 3 children by the age 30. This is how it roughly goes.

  1. 3
  2. 9
  3. 27
  4. 81
  5. 243
  6. 729
  7. 2187
  8. 6561
  9. 19683
  10. 59049 11 177147 12 531441 13 1,594,323 14 4,782,969 15 14,348,907 16 43,046,721 17 129,140,163 18
    19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

Ok I stopped at 17 because I realised the number in 50 was going to many times more than the total population of the world.
