@ Ze:
Sahih al-Muslim #5538 informs us:
As we were sitting during the night with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), a meteor shot gave a dazzling light. Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: “What did you say in the pre-Islamic days when there was such a shot (of meteor)?” They said: “Allah and His Messenger know best (the actual position), but we, however, used to say that that very night a great man had been born and a great man had died,” whereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: “(These meteors) are shot neither at the death of anyone nor on the birth of anyone. Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, issues Command when He decides to do a thing. Then (the Angels) supporting the Throne sing His glory, then sing the dwellers of heaven who are near to them until this glory of God reaches them who are in the heaven of this world. Then those who are near the supporters of the Throne ask these supporters of the Throne: 'What your Lord has said?’ And they accordingly inform them what He says. Then the dwellers of heaven seek information from them until this information reaches the heaven of this world. In this process of transmission (the jinn snatches) what he manages to overhear and he carries it to his friends. And when the Angels see the jinn they attack them with meteors.”
I had that in the link in the other thread.. i thought you read it.
@ Fred: If you were a ruler... would you enforce the Islamic Shari'a? Would you bring back gender discrimination? homosexual intolerance? Allow Wife beating? Allow children beating? most of all SLAVERY? (you know Islam allows it dont you)
I think that Morality evolves with time.. Mohammed's Morality system was great 1500 years ago but not now. The claim that the Quran is eternal has made its moral advice eternal too and sadly its not.. its outdated.
should i begin citing sources?
