Quote:FOR THOSE WHO ARE GENUINELY WILLING TO BE CORRECTED
I'd like to clarify this issue about 72 virgins, which I've clarified this before.
There is nothing like this in Islam. I understand the juicy stories the media gives is so enticing.
You see, one of the biggest propaganda in this world that has been invented is that of 72 virgins. This has been amplified in the western countries many times that nowadays, many people accept it as fact and truth. No wonder even Wazuans think the same. The media wants people to believe that this is a Muslim's reward for suicide.
The Quran and valid authentic Hadiths are very clear about anyone who commits suicide.
The way Islam has condemned suicide making as grave sin, then it is unthinkable for its followers to regard sex as a reward if they were to take their lives.
Today, the myth of the 72 virgins remains potent ammunition for those who wish to see their point of view prevail against Islam. Entities like the media have twisted this alleged saying to suit their fancies and smear Islam with ridicule and humiliation.
This is trying to sidestep the two issues:
1.The quran and these authentic hadiths say there will virgins in paradise for the faithfull.They did not indicate how many.So you should not feel offended with those working with the random figure of 72.
2.No one has discussed suicide.
Martyrdom in Islam was the issue.
Quote:Islam discourages murder, robbery,
This is a big lie.Now if you have read the hadiths ;The prophet and the Sahabas(companions) robbed meccan caravans to eke a living while they sojourned in Medina.
Such rules only apply to all-muslim socities.
Quote:Recognize application of law is not blindly across the board Shame on you
You know somebody accusing somebody of murder or robbery or sodomy and law is just applied? No. Islamic law requires that there be four witnesses for the application of this law.
This law is practically impossible to impose.How many people commit these sins in places where such 4 witnesses can easily appear?
Most of these ills are commited in seclusion.
