Re: Are there no “castelike” divisions in Islam? [SPLIT FROM:“High caste” Hindu students refuse food prepared by Dalits]
Thanks a lot…I opened Quran once again to understand correctly what knowledge means…..Have you ever paid attention that most of above Ayats are written with some other words that knowledge will lead you to heaven, otherwise fire in hell is waiting for you, and have fear of God etc.
So, ‘fear’ and ‘knowledge’ have not become synonyms in Quran……are you sure?
“My Lord! Enrich me with knowledge..”……… Qur’an exhorts the Muslims to do scientific research:.
You or other scholars have only put up their words in the interpretation, nothing else.
Make it clear first, what the Prophet actually meant. As per his rewards for knowledge the greatest scientist ever known Einstein must be enjoying his posthumous days in heaven? Do you agree?
Re Hadit……something is really interesting. I was stressing on this point to read…’go to China for knowledge’.
I question the authenticity of such words…..The Prophet while crusading against Christianity and Judaism talks nothing of Buddhism…..Are you sure that he had information of China. Or he pointed out the Muslims to go to China to seek knowledge from Buddhism???
You are angry…I say nothing of Poppy prohibition in afghanistan. It’s Ok. So…what is your objection?
Bhang in our religious cults? I do not understand what your problem is? This religious text does not mean that a Hindu is bound to drink a glass of Bhang every morning.
For Bhang you blame hindus….whom you give credit for our progress in IT and knowledge?
You escaped my question…….Does not Islam favor to destroy the idols? What Talibans did against Islam?
Shariah was not implemented in its true form in Afghanistan…It’s already 1400 years…how long will you remain confused about the true form of your religion?
You can remain confused…does not matter, but for your confusion when innocents pay with their lives…it creats a problem for others.
One important question………..a Muslim doing something nice….credit goes to Islam. When they do something irrelevant and most of the time they do it on behalf of Islam (on the name of Islam), you dislodge the credit?
Frankly speaking all Muslims read Quran, but I do not find any flood of scientists in Muslim majority areas.
There can be three reasons…..Quran itself…..the study centre….or Muslims themselves.
What option you choose?
Do not mind…I know many brilliant Muslims….and I give credit for that to their talent, hard work surroundings etc but not to religion at all.
And for our progress in IT……….it just means that Hindus are not stubborn against knowledge.
