What do you most admire about the following religions?

Salaam

Judaism - Intresting Tradition, Monotheism, Charity,
Christianity - Intresting Tradition, Charity, Great Moral teachings
Islam - The Truth and best of both religions above.
 
Good examples :)

One of my favourite scriptures is Paul's discourse on the virtues in his first letter to the Corinthians. It ends with the phrase:

"So these three remain; faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love."

False, You absolutely can't touch the Quraan or pray when you have your period, but you can read it from the computer or listen from I pod.

She can read Quran from her memory if she has memorized parts of Quran but can not touch the Quran.

What about translations?

I dont know I found a multitude of different answers I also found this

''However, when a woman is read the Quran she must try avoiding touching the words and just touch the edge'' My question is as follow, what use are these customs? and why? Is a woman considered impur is islam?

My point being their is alot of ''cup washing'' in Islam as I mentionned earlier yes for some a multitude of rules is a good thing (as I have mentionned in my earlier)but one can wonder about the meaning of these rules. And wen vaunting the ''high status of women'' in islam one has to do a troughout examination of these rules to see that the ''high status of women'' could be true but at some degree.
all of this said f course in great respect, and I profit of this occasion to thank the forum for its extreme tolerance it has expressed for views that differs from its own.



I also got these answers:


''Yes she can, but she can't read the sujjud verse, their are 14 verse in the Quran only that require a person to prostrate, these are the only ones she can't read.''

''No, because the quaran is holy and mestruating women are evil so you cannot mix the two or you will have to burn the book.''

''According to him ,woman can read the quran without touching it ,e.g on PDA and computers.
of course she is not allowed to pray.(SALAH)''

can someone sort this out? thanks.



Regards.

What's that source?
There's probably difference in opinion about it.

Well then I guess men are also not allowed to touch it if they are impure too, did you know that?.
Besides women are totally exempted from praying during their menses period, but men are never exempted, if they become impure they have to bathe and then pray the missing prayers.

Here:

None shall touch it save the purified ones (56:79)

The legal scholars argue on the basis of this verse that "the purified ones" mean "those who are ritually pure", thus making the verse mean that only a person in a state of ritual purity may touch the Quran. Since women during menstruation are not ritually pure, they should not touch the Quran.

I am telling what I heard from an Imam,

A guy asked him wether a man who is impure is allowed to touch the qur'an or not.
He replied referring to the following verse:
None shall touch it save the purified ones (56:79)

that it means "spiritual purity" and all muslims male or female are in this sense pure therefore they can always touch it.

Now there are other opinions that say you should perform (purification) wether male or female before you touch the qur'an.

Then whatever happens with these ''differences of oppinion'' is my question: who is right and who is wrong? In this case this is very importany because toutching the coran while impur has some form of consequence I beleive? wo is ''washing the cup the right way'' ?

Regards :)
 
what consequence?
This if anything is a teeny weeny minor sin, or maybe just something discouraged. :D

When there is difference of opinion I personally choose the more conservative one, so in this case before touching the Qur'an I will perform ablution (purification).

Yes that's correct.

Anything that comes out of the private parts breaks ritual purity. For women, menses is continous and it comes out from the private parts of the female for 7 days and until that time if she wants to recite Qur'an then she may do so but without touching the Qur'an.

Qur'an is not a cheap book that may be touched by any individual, in order to touch the Qur'an one must be in a state of purity.

I understand the physical sense of purity. Is there any concern over whether there is spiritual purity or purity of the heart in touching that Quran?

How do you measure this?
