No bowing Phyllis. Dont offer your hand. Just say hello. Give a slight nod of the head even if you like.:) The question isnt stupid.

I quickie search of an index of teh Quran revealed the following results; Badr - 8:5,8:12,8:17,8:42 which is pretty much what Affectionate posted except the last one. I didnt confirm it myself but I think the index is reliable enough. So, hope this helped.

In light of the evidence presented by another poster, i find that very difficult to believe. I would be interested in knowing on what basis does this difference occur. No doubt true that it is upto people to observe a restriction or not, but this does not decide what is the truth of the matter...

:) proves you didnt read the thread I told you to read. The answer to the confusion in your head is in that thread. Please read it.

gave u the thread to read. read it all.

pohaikawahine, I suggest you go through the thread for a clear picture. Hopefully you will find the answers to your questions already written in them. I'll take this opportunity just to recap slightly and add some more material to this thread. All the Prophets and Messengers called humanity to...

Before I say anything more, please keep in mind the nature of the topic and the fact that Muslims were asked this and,thus, you will be given the Muslim point of view. Actually its not. Makes things crystal clear. Nothing wrong with that. The above-mentioned hadith removes the possibility of...

First do yourself what you tell others to do. There you go again. Again you see but you dont understand. The point is this: As I explained in my posts of the Islam and its relationship to other religions thread, Islam has been there since man set foot on earth. So, there isnt a question of...

A relevant Qur'anic verse: Truly the Religion with Allaah is Islam [Qur'an, 3:19] A relevant hadith: From Abdullah ibn Masood(may Allaah be pleased with him) who said, " The Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) drew a line for us, then he said, 'This is the Path of Allaah.' Then he drew lines from its...

You are reading the words but you are obviously not going beyond what you see written. Submission to God obviously entails submission to what he has revealed and commanded. So, its not a muddled definition; its just your thinking thats muddled. As an example, let me just say that 'Christians'...

Here is the explanation of the hadith I said would be clarified. better to start with the (authentic) hadith itself. Indeed it is mentioned in Saheeh Muslim from Abee Sa'eed al-Khudree in marfoo' [1] form, 'Whoever writes from me something other than the Qur’aan, then let him erase it.' Al...

I deleted what i wrote. I thought that i'll just have a chat with Brian. But thought later that there is no need to publicise it. therefore, i deleted it. But our poster is quite quick. Besides the point raised by our poster, there is atleast one statement made in there that is factually...

Excellent. You have understood the matter by thinking about the other side. The fact is that the Minister was ignorant about Muslim ways; something that obviously should be corrected to avoid such incidences. And I agree with you that this is not an issue that should be big news. I suspect that...

The question was phrased and asked for the person who made the comment. I wouldnt have asked you that question. And, the fact that you cant understand it, doesnt make it wrong. You'll probably have to think out of the box. First, your insinuation that an educated/learned person wouldnt consider...

Mahram refers to the group of people who are unlawful for a woman to marry due to marital or blood relationships. [/font] Muslims arent allowed to date. We do not go about this as you go about it. No, the reason was explained by Yaqinuddin and I specifically highlighted it for you. Please go...

He has been banned. so, he wont be making any more 'very good points'.

Iyad, GTv13 has been banned. So, he wont be posting anymore. To those who are reading this thread, I'll still be posting soon about that one hadith Gtv13 mentioned to which I said that I would answer it soon. Inshallah tomorrow. thipps. P.S. Iyad, Hope to receive your email. Shukran.

You really must learn how to speak to people if your purpose is to solicit an answer. You are using a western-based lifestyle as your benchmark and since what we say goes against it, you consider it against 'common sense'. You insinuate in your statement that we speak nonsense. Please refrain...

You cant shake her hand without touching it! stop inserting your assumptions into it. Let me make it more clear for you. If it was your mother/sister/wife and a bunch of men wanted to shake thier hands and touch them, would you like it? Now, do you get the idea? exactly, you dont know!! Islamic...

ooook. I think that pretty much says it all now doesnt it. I warned you before; seems you dont listen well. your throwing that accusation around as if its a box of chocolates. This is your final warning... you make that accusation again without proper proof, you will be reported to the...
