    What do you admire about a DIFFERENT religion?

    I admire the Baha'i Faith for their conscious efforts to promote unity and understanding among the different religions of the world. I admire Sikhism for it's denouncement of the caste system, as well as sati and ghoonghat. I also appreciate that their saints are of all different religions...

    What Do Feminists On RF Think Of Kli and Durga?

    I'm a feminist and I don't really have much of an opinion on the goddesses since I don't believe in them. I like things that show the feminine as powerful though, so I can appreciate that aspect.

    Yemeni child bride dies after internal bleeding on marriage night

    That would certainly depend on what Muslim lands you look at. The Muslims of Dagestan? Nahh. Kazakhstan? Nope. Uzbekistan? Nope. Albania? No. Yemen? Yes. Bangladesh? Yes.

    Yemeni child bride dies after internal bleeding on marriage night

    Sources differ on the exact age of Aisha. If you compare Asma's age (according to ahadith) at the time of Aisha's marriage, it would put her at 17 or 18 years old. The fact is we really don't know how old she was. Ahadith is a source that is often contradictory.

    Yemeni child bride dies after internal bleeding on marriage night

    Obviously not all Muslims advocate child marriage. Yemen is a very poor, backward place. I think there are heinous actions committed by people of all different religions. Child marriage is also still practiced in rural areas of India with Hindu populations, so it is not something peculiar to...

    Shi'a Imami Nizari Ismaili Tariqah

    This topic is not for theological debating, it for informational purposes. I am not interested in arguing about which sect has the correct interpretation.

    Is The Koran taken as its face value by Muslims or are they free to research its truth?

    In not understanding the metaphorical significance of Islamic rituals, people reduce them to meaningless gestures. I adhere to the belief that it is the duty of every Muslim to read the Qur'an and interpret it for themselves, not just scholars.

    Shi'a Imami Nizari Ismaili Tariqah

    Yes, that is the Ismaili greeting. Maula Ali Madad is the reply. Ismailis say their holy dua three times a day.

    Is The Koran taken as its face value by Muslims or are they free to research its truth?

    I am of the interpretation that verses of the Qur'an contain both zahir (exoteric) and batin (esoteric) meanings. Unfortunately, most people don't seem too interested in divulging the batini meanings of the Qur'an. It also doesn't help that many are opposed to tawil (esoteric interpretation)...

    Shi'a Imami Nizari Ismaili Tariqah

    Assalamu alaikum. Does anyone have any information on this sect? I have been researching the sect for a long time, but the best resources on the sect are very expensive books.

    Egyptian and Saudi Arabic

    No Arab-speaking country speaks the pure fusha, just regional dialects. If you want to be able to understand the Qur'an, learn Qur'anic Arabic.
