Re: Women please give me some ideas!
No one is afraid of thinking women…What can they do?
Take Amina Wadud…What a thinker…She wants women to lead mixed gender prayers where it is prohibited and every Muslim knows that…
The idea behind Islam is to obey Allah :swt: and follow the Messenger :saw:…Like, stopping at a red light and going at the green…
What would you call someone who goes on red and stops at green? You would surely call that person an ignorant person, right? Someone who doesn’t know the laws and yet is out on the street messing up traffic…
It is said, not just in Islam, but Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and every other religion in the world, that the most ignorant of people consider themselves the wisest…You know, sorta like ignorance is bliss because as long as I have all the answers, no one else knows any better…
So people like Irshad Manji, the self professed lesbian scholar of Islam…Or the lady with the self professed b@stard son scholar, Asra Nomani, who support pre marital sex, think that they are great thinkers and intellectuals…By trying to question Islam’s tenets and trying to change the rules of Islam, they think they are really smart or something…
But Muslims, who know the Laws of Allah :swt:, know better…Some try to teach them, some try to counter them, some try to reason with them…But they are great thinkers and you can never argue with great thinkers like them…It is better to let them be on their way…
Like the guy who goes on red and stops on green…He isn’t going to listen to anyone…He’s a great thinker…What can people do? They think of him as a nutcase and move on…Some laugh, some get ticked others don’t even care…
So, if you wish to join the ranks of great thinkers like them, be my guest…But those who know the rules of the road will stay on it and follow them, or they get a ticket…
No one is afraid of women like you…We can only tell you what wrong is being done, the rest up to you…
The idea behind Islam is to convey, not convert…One can only point out errors in Islam, not force anyone…
In the Quran, it states:
**27:4 As to those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds pleasing in their eyes; and so they wander about in distraction.
6:110 We (too) shall turn to (confusion) their hearts and their eyes, even as they refused to believe in this in the first instance: We shall leave them in their trespasses, to wander in distraction.
**
So don’t worry…No one is afraid of women like you…You do what you believe is correct…
