So then is the "72 virgins when you die " thing only a Salafi belief? Or is that a general Muslim belief?
Presiona para expandir...
It's from a very weak Hadith that's disregarded by the majority of Islamic scholars. Suicide of any form regardless of intention is also completely forbidden in Islam and the punishment is Hell without forgiveness and/or repentance

How do you interpret some of the more questionable verses of the Quran?

Also, are you obligated by scripture to grow a beard?
Presiona para expandir...
The more "questionable" verses are those whose interpretation has been damaged by Salafists/extremists and the true meaning of them is more benign in comparison.

The beard is encouraged but not necessary, it is just viewed by Muslims as a gift of beauty to men. I myself have a beard but for many reasons, religious being partially.

What is with the whole going to the land of the kuffar and then all of a sudden getting hella mad at how they live.
Presiona para expandir...
Those are ignorant people who come from poor countries with primitive cultures. This is more to do with cultural rather than religious, as most normal practicing Muslims don't have such a problem. The true meaning of the verse is only attack and kill Non-Muslims if they try to do the exact same to you, only in self-defense.
 
What is the real meaning of "jihad"? I know that a lot of Christians take it to mean "holy war", but apparently the meaning is a bit more complex than that. Is that true?

Edit: Also, where in the Quran does it mention djinn and other creatures from Islamic legend like what's seen in Arabian Nights? I had thought djinn were only an Arabian Nights thing but apparently they're mentioned in the Quran too?

A Jihad is a simply a struggle. A good example of a Jihad is the fasr during Ramadan, or contributing labor to build a mosque. The only time it could ever be an armed struggle would be in self defense.

I'll let you guys in on a secret, if the Salafists are yelling about something, it's probably a horrible idea they either made up, or were lied to about from a very young age, that someone else made up.

As far as Djinn go, sura 72 mentions them a lot. Today, they are known as the unseen ones and are treated in much the same way as demons in christianity, except in salafism, where they believe djinn can possess a body. (Remember what I said about them being like Mormons?)

How fast does your flying carpet go, and do you need a special licence?

Faster than a camel, but not faster than a horse. It does smell better than both though.

@Major Asshole growing a beard is considered in some circles to be mustahab (not obligatory, but a good idea) I'd actually say a majority of Muslim men I know are actually clean shaven, it all depends on the culture you come from. I myself, am Turkish in descent, and it just isn't part of my culture.

What is Islam opinion of people with down syndrome? Do they deserve to live? Are they being punished by Allah?

Also, Islam is against shorts right?
Presiona para expandir...
Islam doesn't have an opinion of people with Down Syndrome. In fact, it is highly encouraged to help disabled people and to give charity to them.
According to us, Allah has given the human race a test of wills to see who will go through life and remain with Allah's will, and has put obstacles for everybody to try and overcome. This also applies to us Muslims.

You are allowed to wear shorts but if you're praying they shouldn't be above your knees.

This is correct, just also want to add that helping others is one of the basic tenets of Islam, Zakat, one of the five pillars.

Yes, you can wear shorts. The reason why most people in the middle East do not though is actually quite simple. The traditional garments of the Middle East, specifically the bedouins, is much better at keeping your body cool than exposing yourself to the sun.

What's the verdict on other churches, especially us happy merchants?
Presiona para expandir...
We worship the same god. Stay the course. It'd be better if you read the Quran, but again, still the same god.

If you live in a Muslim country, you might have to pay a Jizya tax, but that is all.

Edit to avoid double post:

Fun fact. Killing fellow Muslims is an unforgivable sin if not done in self defense. Even pointing a weapon at a Muslim is a sin if you are also Muslim. Killing any people of the book is a sin. Killing yourself regardless of the reason is a sure fire way to spend eternity getting sodomized by Shaitan.

Basically the idea is your body is not yours. Allah has merely lent it to you. If you borrow a car from your father, do you return it destroyed? Same applies. That's also why tattoos and other body modification is Haram.

So, if someone converts to Islam but already has modified their body, would they still be able to convert?

Actually yes. A person becomes a Muslim when they say the Shahada, the declaration of faith, and actually mean it. After that point (according to some schools) all prior sins are erased, and you get a fresh start. According to other schools, the sins are still there, but forgiven. Semantics.

So next time you see someone with the word "Quran" or "Allah" tattooed on them, feel free to laugh like we all do. (NOI usually or just your run of the mill American black "Muslims")

Edited for spelling and clarification.

Rate majority Islamic countries from best to worst?

What do you think of the blasphemy laws in many Islamic nations? Specifically when used to punish secularists etc.

Is there a primary/significant "Satan/Antichrist" devil figure in Islamic theology?
