Re: Where in the Quran or other Islamic text is Homosexuality talked about as being a

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the Koran (I don't know about the ahadith) about the other prophets ever bringing up the issue, although logic dictates that they must have had to discuss it as some point. Remember that they all taught the same things.

Does the Quran and or the Hadith talk about how alcohol can get you drunk or intoxica

Does the Quran and or the Hadith talk about how alcohol can get you drunk or intoxication I heard that the Quran says alcohol can make you forget your prayers ?
 
Re: Does the Quran and or the Hadith talk about how alcohol can get you drunk or into

Peace, truthseeker,

The Qur'an doesn't talk about "how" alcohol can get you drunk, as remember it's not a science text book. It does tell us, that it does make people drunk, and that in that state, it's possible for people to not know what they're saying. Alcohol was forbidden in three stages, the first step was to tell people not to pray while drunk:

Pickthall
O ye who believe! Draw not near unto prayer when ye are drunken, till ye know that which ye utter, nor when ye are polluted, save when journeying upon the road, till ye have bathed. And if ye be ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have touched women, and ye find not water, then go to high clean soil and rub your faces and your hands (therewith). Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving. (Qur'an, 4:43)

The second stage was to say that it's sin was greater than any benefit that might be derived from it:

Pickthall
They question thee about strong drink and games of chance. Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility for men; but the sin of them is greater than their usefulness. And they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: that which is superfluous. Thus Allah maketh plain to you (His) revelations, that haply ye may reflect. (2:219)

And the third was to leave it altogether:

Pickthall
O ye who believe! Strong drink and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed. (5:90)

Peace.

Dear truthseeker,

As sister Insaanah told you with those verses that one cannot even pray when they are inebriated and in Tafsir (explanation of the Quran) one will read further that anything that clouds the mind in any way would also invalidate the prayers some say even extreme anger, even a sip of alcohol is forbidden.
Therefore the how it makes one drunk is also immaterial. Drunks are known to forget where they live never mind forget to pray.
Unfortunately there are those who interpret these verses to mean get drunk only, and not just drinking.

As for alcohol it's effects are well known and there is a famous story which has been told in many ways:
Three people where arguing about which is a worse sin, whether to get drunk, to rape or to kill someone.
After along discussion they decided that getting drunk was the most benign as it only harmed the drinker.
The one who initiated the topic was a secret drunk who now encouraged by his friends favourable remarks went to celebrate.
He ended up drunker than usual went home fought with his wife then went and raped the neighbour's wife and when the husband returned and saw him there he killed him and his wife.
The story true or not has been told through the ages as a lesson to what drinking may cause one to do.

The best Hadith in this matter would be "if one is not sure of something being allowed or not it's best to leave it" (not ad verbum)
That way if you are not sure of a drink, mixture or some "organic" substance it's best to let it be.
If one has to take pain killers that effect the mind, the best middle of the road advice would be pray and then when better repeat those prayers turning those prayed under medication into Nafl prayers, or seek better advice.

Masalam
 
Games of Chance

When the Holy Quran talks about Games of Chance does Games of Chance mean Gambling ?
 
Re: Games of Chance

yes, basically any thing that has to do with luck. This includes games that deal with cards or dice.
 
Re: Games of Chance

I think there is needs to be a distinction between games of chance which involves tangible property and games of chance that basically involves nothing.
 
Re: Games of Chance

Gambling is pure wastage of money which could have been better spent on charity. If every human being on this planet were to give Zakah , there would be no more poverty .

And Maryam (Mary), the daughter of 'Imran who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (the sleeve of her shirt or her garment) through Our Ruh [i.e. Jibrael (Gabriel)], and she testified to the truth of the Words of her Lord [i.e. believed in the Words of Allah: "Be!" and he was; that is 'Iesa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary); as a Messenger of Allah], and (also believed in) His Scriptures, and she was of the Qanitin (i.e. obedient to Allah).

Re: Is Homosexuality viewed as a crime in Islam if someone has not reached the age of

In Islam, sins only start to be recorded (and hence personal responsibility) after someone has reached 'balig' (puberty), and sane, and conscious.
Homosexuality is not a crime, acting on homosexual desires is sin. The hadd punishments for homosexuality acts also should meet the same strict conditions as that of any other extramarital affairs.
And sharia shouldn't be based on some country's law, it should be the other way around.
 
Re: Is Homosexuality viewed as a crime in Islam if someone has not reached the age of

Your link tells how homosexuality is in Iran.

I am not shia or from Iran.

As sunna I can tell it is not sin/crime to be something but act any sexual act outside of marriage is sin.

So try to avoid kind of acts. No matter if same or other gender than you. :heated:

Something seems strange about this. I've always hated double standards for age, it's called AGEISM. It just doesn't seem fair that a 6 year old can go out and commit all kinds of crimes and get off without punishment, yet someone who has reached puberty gets dealt with with the full force of the law.

"...after someone has reached 'balig' (puberty), and sane, and conscious."

What then if someone is sane and conscious before puberty? I know I was sane and conscious WAY before puberty, so I'm just interested how this situation would proceed legally.

"Article 49 exempts children from punishment. Addendum 1 to this article defines a child as someone before puberty. But in the civil law puberty for boys is 15 and for girls 9 lunar years (article 1210, addendum 1)."

Puberty for females is nine, ok that seems fair and sensible enough, but FIFTEEN for males??? Wow, just wow. This indicates that Iranian males are extremely late developers compared to my race. Both sexes of my race hit puberty at around the same age which is between around 8 to 10. We are fully grown, fully fledged adults by 12 (hence the old Germanic maxim "adulthood begins at 12". It just astonishes me that Iranians have a SIX year age difference between males and females, and the males take so long to reach puberty. 12 and 13 year old prepubescents are non existent in my race.

As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):

Why! Why! Why!

Do practicing Muslims waste their valuable time on threads that have nothing to do with the daily practice of Islam?

Why are these threads even allowed to be created?

The nature of the threads involves fitna of the highest degree.

Why are we not concentrating on the application and blessings Islam provides.

Why the Western Fitna is injected into the forum daily?

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 56, Number 690:

Narrated Abu Masud Uqba:

The Prophet said, "One of the sayings of the prophets which the people have got, is. 'If you do not feel ashamed, then do whatever you like."
