Question for Muslim!!

[wina]

why you deal with this concept as if it was insult or something ?

wina , isn’t your friend by herself said to you that she is in impure condition , do you think that she meant to insult her own self , she just wanna to say that she wasn’t ready .

No, she told me that she does it because the law said it.

impure here refere to menses SEXUALLY , But we can still be physically around them and act normally with them.

women in Islam do not pollute or cause anything to be unclean if they touch it while they are having their menses.

may be your confusion aroused from what you know about jews regarding this matter !

I don’t know that it may be difficult to translate what it means because of language.
But she told me that. She does it because the law said it.

1. God, according to Islam, created Men and Women equally, but not the SAME.
2. The cycles of a woman are a hardship and God wished to not compound her hardship by requiring ritual prayer. She may make as much supplication as she please. Also, she may read Quran while on her period. Perhaps, your misunderstanding my lie in confusing Islamic ritual prayer with Du’a or supplication. Du’aa can be done by anyone, even in the state of impurity. Ritual prayer of Salaat has specific ritual purity requirements. This is similar to rituals that priests observe in the mass.
3. Absolutely, a man or woman may be impure for a number of reason. Menses, though, is on cause that is peculiar to woman.

Thanks for the explanation eichenb2

1. A Woman can, definitely, be the “breadwinner” in Islam. However, Islamic law does not require that a woman support a man and family. On the contrary, man are required by Islamic law to support the wife and family. Under extraordinary circumstances, though, love and grace are necessary. I have known many Muslims to be in these type of situations and if they desire to work things out…these do.
2. I am simply giving you one justification of the Hadeeth. There are many interpretations. The one thing is does NOT mean is that God dislikes woman. As regards the descriptions of Heaven in the Quran, these may be physical or they may be allegorical. God truly knows. Many western people tend to criticize the Islamic conception of the afterlife for what they perceive as sensuality. I don’t buy it. The underlying misunderstanding is that they are not familiar with Semitic langauge and idioms.
3. As regards the express preference for a male family member accompanying a woman on journeys, I think this is just common sense. It is a preference, but circumstances do chance. You, ironically, are falling into the same trap that many literalist Muslims fall into. Understand that the Shari’ah (Islamic Law) is (notice I used the word IS and not WAS) formulated for Man…NOT Man for Shari’ah.

1. Men and women of course work the best according to the situation…even the pagans know that situation can dictate the best decision including some circumstances when women can be the breadwinner. But to me it seems that Islam have placed the cultural habit and belief of its own time (koran time)to settle matters especially regarding the relationship and the equality of men and women.
   2.Christianity has also the root of Semitic languange and idioms (the OT especially)but it never described heaven as a place for having a sensual satisfaction. If it speaks allegoricaly, then I assumed that Koran tried to lure the potential muslim or the existing muslim to do what Muhammad wanted them to do. If it described something physically…than it has its own problem (very big problem). I don’t buy your statement that western people ( I myself am not western) cannot perceived the heaven’s description of the Koran well. What to be explain of the verses that has different meaning than what it says literally?
   3.Yeap of course muslim and nonmuslim will understand the common sense of man accompanying woman. It doens’t need to take the hadeeth to do so. Will muslim fail to guard their women if this hadeeth were not produced…? The problems will lie to your accusation of me being a literalist because it has proven to be the fact of what some muslims insist on doing…right? they are not using the common sense anymore but seeing to serving the law first not the man!
