The Fly Hadith

[czgibson]

Greetings,

^ Because we have faith. It's like when Allaah tells us not to eat Pork. Why? Because we have faith there is a reasoning behind it.

OK - let's turn it on its head: suppose you knew for a fact that the fly was carrying some resistant bacteria like MRSA. Would you still dip it in your drink, trusting that your faith would protect you from harm?

Peace

 

[- IqRa -]

Allaah will not tell us anything that will harm us. If it was harmful, then we would not have been instructed to do it. That said, many things have found to be harmful, which Islam prohibits.

Rather than criticizing the Muslims for being so insulting, why not look at the insults that gibson has hurled at the Prophet? I am insulting to those who insult me or my beliefs.

@ Gibson? What do you mean by MSRA? (Mythical Science-god of Richward-dawkins' Anterior)? Are you even aware that when an academician introduces acronyms for the first time, he should first completely write them out in full and then use the acronym afterwards? Way to go for your critical reasoning skills.

Why are you attacking me for bro? As i clearly said, it was a note to myself before anyone else. I dont want to get involved in this lil blame game about whu is insulting whu, its not why I come onto this forum. & There is a way of duin dawah, 'hurling' comments at Gibson about his ability as a teacher is not going to do anyone any good. Even through the example of tha Prophet [PBUH] when he faced people whu rejected tha Message, did you see eny hostility from tha Prophet's [PBUH] side? I dont rekall him duin that, and this was tha best of man & truly tha best example. I dont wish to get in a lenghty argument with you brother over this. Tha last thing we need is Muslims bickering amongst each other. Forgive me for any offence I have caused. I just think, especially dealing with non-Muslims, we need to maintain a certain standard of conduct and reasoning, treating others with respect. Afterall you give it to get it back. My personal thoughts. Wa'Allahu Alim.

If we are sure that a fly carries MRSA and not its anti-dote on the other wing, it would be considered suicide from Islamic perspective to put yourself in jeopardy. It would be good to see if such flies actually carry an antibiotic to those bacteria.

In other cases when nothing is known regarding what the fly carries, the hadith applies.

Very good topic, jazakiAllah khair for sharing.

As for those who were trying to prove the authentication of sahih Bukhari for optimist please don't bother yourself, if I am not mistaken he is the same optimist in another board who don't recognize the sunnah at all and claiming to believe in what came in Quran only!

So save your breath.
