Welcome to Gaia! ::

It may not be an issue, but can be a possible to be an issue.

How it can be threaten is it would threat the faith of a person. Hmmm, I just got this idea from the previous guild. ^ ^;; Well they just point out something like, if a person converted from Islam they are given the chance to revert back. How?

Well we will have to make them believe in their faith back. I think they even pointed out about a story. Why a convert from Islam is subjected a death sentence?

I'm sorry about my stupidity. I wish I can support my statement better. =/



I think we should start to have the question "why" in this guild. Why Islam is this, why Islam is that, why we can't do this, why we can't do that. People want reasons why Islam have so many rules. All we can do is, try to explain to them. Well... just an idea. ._."

The Surah mentioned is actually talking about MARRIAGE. His wives are valid because he has given them dowries, and he is allowed to marry prisoners of war. During this time, marriage was used for political alliances and as a form of protection. During that time, society and morals were in a pretty bad state. Rape, sexual assault, nudity, and other things were common. When a man and woman married, the woman would be considered under the man's protection. Note that Muhammad didn't have children with any of his wives except his first one, Khadijah, and he didn't marry anyone else until after she died. Protection wasn't invented then, since men and women had multiple partners, and lineage had to be traced from the mother's line, cuz most of the time, no one knew who the father was. God is saying that he is giving Muhammad permission to MARRY prisoners of war and take them under his PROTECTION. I think I've explained it pretty well, but If I mentioned anything wrong, then please correct me
