I suspect my daughter being abused
Path2Felicity replied to kaneez14's topic in Social/Family/Personal
Sis kaneez- please stop accusing members here of terrible acts because they don't agree with what you've done. I do have one question though- why is it that you never checked on your daughter when you heard footsteps? why did you never put a hidden camera or something to catch him in the act? -
This thread is way off topic and no longer about Bibi Fatima (SA). Feel free to open another thread about shia-sunni unity. Thread closed.

It seems that yet another thread has turned to nothing but personal attacks. Thread Closed.

When you say "above the fray of politics" what do you mean exactly? Should the WF have any role in politics at all? If not, what is the point of keeping him there? If the clergy are just a voice of morality, how is that any different than keeping them out of politics entirely? Also, if the laws contradict Islamic ideals, would not the WF be held responsible, even if he is just a figurehead? I'm all for checks and balances with a government, but all in all, I am confused about what role the clergy would play in such a system. I would imagine that it would be difficult for a marja to just h
-
This is true. But, the question that you pose (whether we need clerics to have explicit review power over legislation to protect the moral course of civilization), has different varieties of what that could look like. Iran's example is not the model that exists on a theoretical level. Wasalaam

I think that bro Fyst makes the most convincing argument because he is using Quran (4:24) as a reference, and it makes sense that the female captives would not be Muslim converts because, as he pointed out, that would annul their marriages to their mushrik husbands. This is difficult for me to think through and to reconcile, but if anybody has insight into this verse and its implications, it would be greatly appreciated. Fyst- have you ever consulted anyone (e.g., a scholar) about this?

Are there any reports of any of the Infallibles or Prophets every smacking their children? I am really curious about this. Personally, I was never hit as a child, and I never plan on physically hurting any of my children insha'Allah. I personally don't see the purpose of it. In my mind, the most effective disciplining is through building a relationship with the child right from the start that is based on trust, love, and mutual understanding. Wasalaam Good point. Also, in Islamic law, if you hit your child and leave a mark, can't you be punished for that? I thought I heard this somewhere,

There are a few points here that I think should be clarified. 1) Zahratul-Islam, not every law in the West is about harming others. The most prominent examples that come to my mind are seat belts and bicycle/motorcycle helmets. These laws were made to protect the individual from themselves. I am sure there are more out there- these are just the ones that come to my mind. 2) Even in Iran, the do no harm to others rule does apply to a certain level. For example, if you want to sit at home and drink alcohol until you die, then you are free to do so. What is banned is to make a public display

The icon things and emoticons work for me when I am on internet explorer, but not on mozilla firefox. Is there a way to make it work on mozilla firefox again? Wa Salaam.
-
Salaam. None of the icon things work for me. When I click the emoticons symbol it doesn't work. I do not see the emoticons to my right. Also none of the icon things above work except for Twitter, the drop down box that says Other Styles, and the question mark that says help when you hover with the cursor over it.

Salam alaykom stranger! I was thinking of you so thought I'd drop by and say hi. Hi :)
Hope all is well with you inshallah. Hey, I'm supposed to be in LA right now, at a conference! But my supervisor is there instead of me!

Same... it gets to the point where I want to tell my husband that he's not as good as he thinks he is :dry: (he actually is... sigh... he's a much better cook than me).

Is Neda really a hero and martyr?
Path2Felicity replied to Moraqeb ol Tariqat's topic in Politics/Current Events
I think we can all agree that the death of the martyrs of the revolution and the Iran-Iraq war can not be compared to this. To make such a comparison is insulting to the martyrs of the war. I also don't want this thread to be an excuse to turn into a Neda-bashing session- she is answerable to God now... there is no reason to disrespect the dead. If we want to discuss how her death is being used as political exploitation, then feel free to start another thread. Thread Closed.
