The Laws of Islam

[Sofiyya 1,687]

It appears to me that some of the Muslims here selectively promote and respect only the parts of Islam that they like, then dump or makeover the others, using the right to an opinion as their excuse. This is even to the extent that when they want to ignore laws in Muslim countries, they just do. Can't blame the "kuffar" for that.

What's up with that?

[Sofiyya 1,687]

We'll see if the ones guilty of this will stay away or own up!

Load up on the refreshments, Charles. I believe it will be a long wait. Those who do so do not recognize themselves and are busy making excuses and blaming others for expecting more from them.

Don't hold your breath, gimy. No one wants to claim this. They are so busy with their posse making up stories about me right now.

Here's a question szsz and nope i'm not muslim, but what's your opinion about these countries, say like egypt and morroco and algeria where it's so difficult for people to regisiter their islamic marriage. I know in Jordan you can register your islamic marriage the same day or the next, but it seems like for other islamic countries from what I read on here that it's difficult for a foreign person to register their marriages. Do you think people of the same nationality born in the same country have a difficult time registering their marriages to?

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Thanks for the question, angel. For nationals, marriage requirements are more minimal than they are between foreigners and nationals. Some reasons include:

The government doesn't want to lose their citizens,

Marriage between Muslims and non-Muslims are discouraged,

They figure that those who are SERIOUS about each other will make the sacrifice.

I tend to go with the latter.

This being what it is, is no reason to ignore the laws. You need them when you screw up, so keep the good will for when you need it, so you won't need a lawyer later.

You know szsz from your previous postings. I can see that you are so against orfi marriages, but maybe you can explain to "me" why that is if you want to. I can see where you are coming from after talking with my husband, but maybe there is something else that I am not seeing or someone else is not seeing.

Well I learned that the prophet mohammed said that a time will come when the honest is called a liar and the person who tells the people about the truth and tries to show them the right and right faith that person will be called majnoon/crazy in other words will believe the liar and don't believe the honest.

My life creed is found among the many ayat in the Quran about doing justice:

[4.135] O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily God is well- acquainted with all that ye do.

None of us will know God's Judgement until we stand before Him. Until then, all you can do is your best!
