Why does nobody here correct wrong translations/interpretations of verses in the Quran. Is the translation given above by 'be the change' correct or is that which is below here correct?
[24.31] And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments…
You replied again but for some reason it doesn't appear here, I don't know why.
I however have read it in my Mail.
You said that different people say different things. Brother, you have to understand, as long as there are different types of people, there will be different types of opinion, but we should follow the one which is from the Quran and Sunnah.
Every human being is different and until the last day, there will always be differences in opinion, whether major or minor. As far as Islam is concerned, most of the differences are minor.
What you're saying about people who say x, y, z story, well, some say a, b, c; I request you to yourself read the Quran and Hadith and get the correct information. Then automatically you will know whether a, b, c is correct or x, y, z is correct.
We in the field of Comparative Religion, don't rely on what people say and what people do. Because most of the people themselves don't know what they believe and what they follow.
Hence always read the scriptures and don't look at what people say and do.
As far as difference amongst Muslims is concerned, like I said, it will always be, but minor. No one debates that how many times should you pray? 5 times or 10 times? Everyone agrees it's 5 times.
However there are certain things which different scholars understood in different ways, and that's very normal. Hence we should see what they say, listen to the differences and follow the one MORE closer to Quran and Sunnah. This doesn't mean the other opinions are wrong, it just means some are "more" closer to Quran and Sunnah. Please note.
And I am not sure what verse or Hadith you're referring to, it wasn't clear in the Mail.
But it seems like you're talking about the wives of the Prophet whom Prophet PBUH told to cover the face when a stranger came or similar.
To understand this, you need to know that certain things were a Fard or must for the Prophet PBUH and his wives but they are NOT Fard for us. For example the Tahajjud Salah was a must for the Prophet but it's not a must for us. Similarly, wearing the Niqab was a must for the wives of the Prophet but it's not a must for us.
However I would request you, that the questions you're asking is like the Quantum Mechanics of Islam. You first need to learn Friction, then Motion, then Laws of Motion and slowly move on to higher levels of understanding. A person who doesn't understand friction can never understand quantum mechanics.
Hence I request you learn the basics of Islam correctly, read for yourself and then move to difficult topics.
Hope this helps!
