So, is that Hajj practice still in situ or is it lost? Or only some remnants remained?In this sense, Ancient Hajj practice is still in right place & performed by muslims from around the world.
Also, who's the addressee in 22:27 - and in the mankind, doesn't Jews & Christians included? If so, how do you reconcile with 5:48 that they're to keep their shariyat meaning keep their Hajj at original sanctuary?In verse 22:27, Quran is addressing only disbelievers. A disbeliever can be from any religion who or what does not believe or support to oneness of GOD. Apart from that, any person who believes in oneness of GOD & follow the provided rules, is a believer. This system is referred to as 'Islam'. In this sense, Any jew or Christian, who believes in oneness of GOD & follows the guidance provided by GOD only, is a Muslim & can perform Hajj. In verse 5:48, Quran is talking about in general word, replacement of previous scriptures with the revelation of the Holy Quran. As I hope you are concerned about previous scriptures being distorted through the pass of many centuries by the human being & that is why GOD himself took responsibility to protect the Quran [15:9] so that noone or nothing can abrogate or distort it. This verse actually is not talking about avoiding jews or christians, but to avoid their distorted thoughts which are already in between them. This is why 'criterion' word is mentioned.
assalamu alaikum brothers and sisters
This topic has been bothering me for a long time. I asked similar questions before (sister Nura posted the link above). But still my heart feels dissatisfied. Because sometimes I have to use those pirated software somehow. Professors at university don't seem to care about these copyrights at all. Mostly they give us "pdf" documents of books (not available for free) to study. They give projects, homeworks from them and even they ask from them in quizzes / exams. Sometimes we have to use pirated software like "photoshop", "ms office" and such. Mostly we (students at university) don't have another choice because we need to do very specific calculations, projects and things using "certain" softwares for our thesis.
There are also tons of websites streaming new movies/tv series before they're out on the market to purchase. Most people watch them just because they are available online.
I'm really really confused about this.
"O you who believe! do not devour your property among yourselves falsely, except that it be trading by your mutual consent; and do not kill your people; surely Allah is Merciful to you." (4:29)
" And do not swallow up your property among yourselves by false means, neither seek to gain access thereby to the judges, so that you may swallow up a part of the property of men wrongfully while you know." (2:188)
QuoteA more literal understanding of the word 'farj' (plural furuj) in the expression 'lifurujihin hafizun' is a reference to the private parts of both males and females. It is a reference to the 'pudenda' (sex organ) which is considered indecent to expose.
The argument here is that this is not merely a reference to sexual intercourse but to any sexual act.
The exception of wedlock is granted where one is not considered blameworthy (ghayru malumin) 23:6. However, whoever seeks beyond that has transgressed (ada) - 23:7
Please take my sincere apologies for quoting this post after a long times. I'm respectfully agreed with the upper arguments as i have done some little research on my own. But only one question arises momentarily & need a suitable answer. If one is married and stay far away from spouse for some reasons or due to unavoidable circumstances, will it be sinful to masturbate thinking of own wife? Logically any sexual pleasures that come from wife is sanctioned. Is distance really a fact when the wife is not close for intimacy?
salam everyone,
yes the ayah is "do not kill yourselves" and i personally think that it also includes killing oneself by committing suicide. When the order is "do not kill one another", "do not kill yourselves", i don't think we can say "hey it's forbidden to kill another human being but we are totally free to commit suicide." It is an act of killing after all. However Allah knows our mental condition, inner thoughts and emotions. He is the One to judge and He is the most merciful. He knows best.
Suicide is expressly prohibited in verse 4:29 of the Quran.But the verse is saying "do not kill yourselves". It means not to kill your people/closest person. Its not telling "dont not kill yourself".

Quran for example is in Arabic so language is a context frame a dictionary is a tool in that sense hadeeths and any historical evidence are also required to understand Quran. Again that doesnt mean to take what hadeeth and historical context say as ultimate truth.
