Re: Very disturbing
1 - The revelation was not before the marriage of Zaid. Your own assumption to feed an argument.
2 - There are no examples (at least that I know of) where muslims have followed this. It was meant to be an established practice but an example. And yes I haven't seen this happen today, is there a need to set an example anymore? Please answer. Something not happening is not justification enough to say that it is not right. Is that the logic you follow?
3 - First please use decent language when refering to someone who tremendously greater in ranking an honor then your mother. Not words such as fair game. If you followed the sequence of events I gave in my post then such a ridiculous question would not have been asked. Would the revelation have made any sense until Zaid RA and Zainab RA were over with their marriage. You truly are exhibiting you have no level of comprehension. Please do better than that.
4 - Some people are as blind as a bat. Can you not figure out why Allah SWT had ordered Muhammad SAW to marry Zainab RA? Subhanallah! Your attempts to defile are pitiful.
And I agree medically inter-family marriage has its downsides. But this whole example is not to encourage inter-family marriage. Your acute senses still have not picked that up yet.
Why do you keep embarassing yourself by posting out of sheer ignorance? Face it your just incapable of winning an argument, if that is what you are trying? Adios.
Usresident - I think I'm going to try and show some patience for you like I do for all thought challenged; I will ignore your insults since you obviously get frenzied and have little clue of what you're reading or writing.
The pt abt the revealation is that it came just about the time (doesn't matter just before or just after) the prophet married the adoped son's ex-wife. Instead of hiding behind tinyman clerical arguements you should learn to grasp the main issuem That's the difference between a rote clerk and a thinking professioinal
So why do you think muslims don't follow that? Because people by instict know that it is incest. You just made my point without knowing.
No. It may be your tradition to compare women of your household with others, we don't do that. Learn some manners and class when you come to debate.
Allah ordering the prophet to marry his cousin who also was his adopted son's ex-wife? Does that sound right to you or made up? Apply some common sense. Particularly in the very next sentence you agree that it is medically wrong. So how do you account for even you knowing it but not A or M?
Don't worry abt embarassing me. I don't hold even your erroneous arguements and low-class style of arguement against you - because there's always hope that even you can become a bit better by. associating with your betters. How else will you?
Adios? Ok - I do understand you do need a break to cool down and lick your self inflicted wounds.
