Re: Liberal vs. conserative vs. moderate desis
We could create a separate thread on this topic as this would be going very off topic.
What I believe is that there’s a barrier b/w things we already know or are gradually discovering with the advent of science and technology and the boggling mysteries of life we still haven’t been able to understand (like life after death, creating life from non biological stuff etc) which is probably the barrier beyond which we aren’t supposed to know.
Also Allah says in Surah Alaq: Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
Who has taught (the writing) by the pen,*** Has taught man that which he knew not. (96:3-5)
***So all these things we are discovering, inventing are there because we have been made superior to all other Creations on basis of our knowledge. (Ashraf-ul-makhluqat). If Allah didn’t will it to happen we wouldn’t have made such breakthrough advances anyway.
What researchers are doing is just their job for the betterment of humanity…(huqooq-ul-ibaad, right) so ethically and religiously I find no reason not to support stem cell research.
ok back to the topic …
Err does this make me a liberal now?
