Questions concerning the Qur'an and Islam

Re: Questions concerning the Quran and Islam

As for the direction to pray: Most people in Arabia prayed towards Mecca in the first place, due to the predominance of pagan worship there. Once Mohummad created Islam, he continued this practice.

Later he tried to get the powerful and influential Jewish tribes to join him, and thought that by making Muslims face Jerusalem would help in this. It failed. So he return the direction back to Mecca. He kill the tribes as well, but that's beside the point.

sadly some people still think its political.Did he try to make an alliance with the Jewish tribes and did they attack him?

Re: Questions concerning the Quran and Islam

br. Abrar,
There's not much to say in response to that because the quote you provided is not supported by any evidence; it's just one [ignorant] individual's speculation. He can claim that the Prophet saws switched the Qiblah for this reason or that reason but it doesn't make it true unless evidence is provided. The answer to your question was already given in this thread by brother Muhammad, and brother Kadafi.

Now to answer your questions....


Women Working conditions:

A woman may work in hospitals, offices, and other work environments even though there are men present. Working in mixed environments is not unlawful as long as the woman feels safe and is secure from trials.

You may uncover your face and your hands in the country where you are staying now because of the practicalities of the situation that you have explained.

It is better for a woman to continue working if abandoning work would bring hardship upon her or upon those she is supporting.

Divorce Procedures:

woman should not ask for a divorce without a legal or valid reason as long as she can manage to live with her husband. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Any woman who requests her husband to divorce her without a valid reason will not smell the scent of Paradise.”

However, if a proper marital life has become impossible between the two or if it has become simply unbearable for her, then it is permissible for her to ask for divorce. Allah says: “But if they separate, Allah will provide abundance for each of them from His all-reaching bounty.”

Authenticy of the Prophet (saw)'s biography

Evidences of the Prophethood of Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him) are plenty. They can be divided into two major areas. One is the evidence from religions previous to the birth of Muhammed (peace be upon him), which foretold of a mighty messenger to come. Some of the examples are taken from the present Bible.

The other evidences are from incidents during the life of Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him), which clearly authenticate his selection to the mission by Allah the Almighty. They are numerous and are shown under different headings.

If you have any more questions please ask.
