Keda taba3an :) but the times thing is Ijtihad as I see, because there are two opinions regarding it. Anyway, is your objection about "the three times", or because there is no direct hadith about it?!
No, not all people who are not touched without understanding are evil, I didn't say that..And I agree with Kerr that not all people are the same....There are some who would be closer to the truth by listening to one verse, and there are some who need more evidences, and more investigations in...
That's the reason I said "acknowledge", not "denounce"....Because some Americans don't consider all what happened in Iraq, and Afghanistan as terrorism!!
LOL, I didn't know that non-Muslims should read the Qur'an before posting questions in the Islam DIR!

I think the time of engagement depends on what the couple want it to be. Socially speaking, the time is from 6 months to one year. I think it is...
Yes, but I don't have the english translation right now.
عن ابى هريرة ان رجلاً خطب أمرأة من...
I heard a scholar saying that the maximum times before the engagement, in case they were not able to decide from the first time, are three. And there are some saying it's only one time, but I'm convinced with the first opinion as far as it will be in the presence of any of the girl's family...
Perhaps, but I think it would be more accurate to say that it's all about the listener's heart, not everyone would be emotionaly moved by listening to the Qur'an. There are Arabs (Muslims and non- Muslims) who understand Arabic very well, but they aren't touched by the Qur'an, because they don't...
