Re: The concept of being Stoned to Death
Back in the 10th and 11th Centuries, Mosque was not just a building for prayer but it was a place for discussion, exchange of ideas, thoughts, debates.
So if Islam is from the 6th Century then that means we should live like we are in the 6th Century.
This is called ignorance. Islam is robust enough, adaptable enough that we can make it fit in the 21st Century…
Simple example, the Azaan. Before we used a human voice to sound prayer, now we use loud speakers
Another was spotting the moon for Ramadan, now we can use Observatories to do the same task which is much more accurate
Its these kinds of things
Growing a beard was because 1 the people didnt have a razor, second shaving caused infection and 3rd having a beard protected the face from sand and the sun
But with modern technology, we no longer need a beard to protect us from nature’s harshness
So then a beard is no longer required
For example, 100 years from now, there is a technology which allows women to appear fully covered but in reality its a just a computer device which makes it appear that women are covered. So will that be allowed?
In my opinion, it should be. It will free women from their suffocating burka but there will be some people who will say no no, women have to wear abaya and not a digital illusion
