Salaam.
It is no secret that the field of Medicine is mostly a commercial enterprise.
Religion too is no less a commercial enterprise. Religion is shaped by political influences too.
Let us not believe the doctors when they say this or that procedure is safe, etc.
If you go after the
Mufthee he will only take you for a ride.
The only solution is to concentrate on today’s all engulfing corruption, and do our bit to mitigate it. God will take care of the rest.
Let us concentrate on the study of the Quran and also to distribute copies of it to other educated people.
It is no problem if you cannot get off-the-cuff solutions to vexing questions like contraception. For, educated people know very well that we have billions of pages of stuff on contraception. Even highly qualified physicians cannot hope to separate the chaff from the grain of such a collection that is increasing by leaps and bounds every hour.
The broad instructions in the Quran like the most basic – the Sanctity of Life – must be applied to every question to find a solution. But in order to
apply Quranic injunctions we have to know the problem at hand
in and out. And this is no easy matter for humans like you and me.
It is at such a juncture that one realizes the importance of prayer, prayer and prayer.
Integrity of character, charitable disposition, and constancy and consistency in our life, is the only way to realize our prayers. Allah is the ultimate priority in order to solve any and every problem.
