).
i read all the discussion goin’ on hea. but,
as im a bit religious and i have a bit knowledge of Modern Islam too, with this knowlege i know few things. sorry in advance if im wrong…
the concept of Mehram and Namehram stays the same always. but under som circumstances its
applications may slidly differ.
1- Gal/boys can get to know each other,before marriage in som limits, only if theyre supposed to be married,and this thing should be in the knowledge of their parents.
2- Those women who are running som business/job/students, can have business/collegues relations with men, but should strictly observe Parda. same is in the case 1.
There is still much more in store, But i think its enough.
plz correct me if im wrong.
I agree with your comments about creating any further divisions within Islam. But don't you ever wonder why the Islamic community in the world is so divided and dominated by others? Surely for if everyone is following the word of God we should be in a better position than we are today, no? If we jsut stick to whatever we belive and don't strive for the ultimate truth we will not change. There should be no divisions or sects because we were all given ONE source of guidance (The Quran). If we can pay some attention to that from time to time we would not be in the situation we are in today. The Quran does not want us to be fatalistic and stagnant, we must live by the truth, we should heed the warning that is given in the Quran that only a minority will go to heaven, ever wondered why?
Zara,
I've been away on holiday and business thats why you haven't heard from me for a while, well I'm back to throw in my 2 pence worth! Take care.
BOy and girl should not be alone at all in a room or anywhere something could happen its in hadith!!! Bukhari
Well Jaawan, Allah also gave human beings brains and will power, not everyone is as out of control as you would like to believe.
Besides, when you say "SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN", what do you mean? Do you mean that one might get sooo aroused that they would proceed to jump the other person? Come ooonnn!!!

Ok all of you, sorry it took so long but i have problems with this website. it goes so slow, and doesn;t come up half the time. anyway, it is in tbe middle of an ayyat and it is in surah Nisaa and Allah (swt) is talking to the women and he says something about not having boyfriends. Its surah 4 ayya 25,
also this is a hypothetical question, what do you do, what would u do. i know that there are some people who are on this forum,that must work closely with the opposite sex, or be good friends with them. i hear lots of stories about muslim people in America and Pakistan that date etc in high school and up. I don't mean to offend anyone. just so you all know. I must go now. cya.
