Anyone else feel like they're back in kindergarten? Grow up people! Out of all the possible blah blah conversations in DM, never did I expect there to be a discussion on integers!

*grabs bag of popcorn* kidding! :P

On most points there aren't any/minor points of difference... but u decide your path depending on a)the scholar whose teachings you follow OR b) do your own study of the available material and decide which one makes most sense (to you)

Is it the right path? we sort of leave it up to fate 😆

Yes i m Shia .. But about the above ... its not dismissed merely bcos u dislike it... There tend to be discrepancies ... hadiths contradicting each other ... different interpretations of pretty much the same word/event .. eg reason for Shia sect's emergence? Shias believe that at Ghadir, Prophet Mohammad declared Ali to be the Caliph after his death .. Sunnis don't dispute the event.. they say that Prophet said Ali is his friend...

I honestly don't know much about Ayesha .. but just before the post was closed for the first time ... some member posted stuff which seems to dispute the historical authenticity of those hadiths attributed to Aisha about her age... So when there are contradictions.. u go with what makes most sense to you.. and your own inherent faith

U mean other than the faith aspect? I know i don't have much to go on after that😆 I do remember reading that most of the verses were present in their textual form even during the life of Mohammad (PBUH) (though those texts are lost now) and i dont think there have been changes in the text of Quran from the earliest discovered copies till now ... so like Jews and Christians out there... i could say that even if Quran isn't in its original form now (which us Muslims inherently don't agree with 😆) i'll make do with what is available 😛

Weren't you? I thought in both threads you were trying to have your say but got shut down. My bad if I assumed incorrectly.

Ooops, my bad. I misundertood it.
Although in the Islam thread I deliberately didn't try to say much.

@Arwen - Of course for each their own path. Some things from the past are good. Some things however from the past go against the grain of humanity and modern day ethics like cruel and unusual punishment, slavery, hate crimes, child marriage, and we ought to question it.

Change comes from within, but no change comes up unless someone asks questions. Every progressive change in the history of man has come because someone asked questions, and not all questions came from within. It is true for every religion, every society, every culture.

Most importantly the role of intellect and conscience tells us that religion, custom, tradition, holy men are not infallible or above questioning. Sure you have the right and freedom to believe and do what you want, even if it means dancing at midnight around the maple tree, but people also reserve the right and freedom to ask you "W*F that is so stupid, why the heck do you do that and for what reason".

Hopefully, there are no mapletreedanceathonists on the forum to take offence to that.

Ai'ght if its enough of religion for you, let me divert to a question from the radio talk show this morning – If your best friend had a super major crush on your boyfriend/husband would you continue to be friends with them?
