Um Fatima

Although raised in a Christian home, I did not read the bible until later in life. Until that point, I learned my religion from attending church every Sunday and Wednesday. When I finally read the bible, I had loads of questions which were brushed off. When asked about certain passages, many people I asked had no idea what I was talking about. I came to the conclusion that most people learn Christianity like I did, as very few were familiar with the bible itself. I truly believe that at one time the bible was as beautiful as the Quran. Men altered it to suit themselves at every turn, and ruined it to the level it is now after so many years. Thank you for sharing this blog with us.

I would definately be offended, and would speak to his parents about the offer.

A muslim harmed another muslim leaving colourful bruises and a cut lip on his victim. In order for the man to be forgiven by Allah, his victim must forgive him first, and the man must pay his victim recompense for the damages done to his body. How is such compensation determined? Is the compensation gender specific; meaning do the amounts differ when the victim is a muslimah? What is the proper term for such compensation?
