Hey, Welcome to the forums.
The reason I joined this community is because there are many atheist around me and they keep asking difficult questions from me, for which I have no answer.
So I take it that you are a Muslim. It could have been better to start your post off with a salam rather than Hi. Khair Inshaa'Allaah.
Can I know WHY do you bother wasting your time debating athiest when you don't have enough knowledge? Why put your own feeble Imaan in danger? They don't believe in the God you believe in or in the revelation you follow, why in the world would they take any logic from you for any of these questions.
So please can anyone help me out and give me logical answers to my questions?
It's more like YOU want to have LOGICAL answers to these question rather than the athiest. Seems like they did their job, you are already in doubt about your faith.
Take my advice and don't waste your time and Imaan debating, Seek knowledge! Seek knowledge! Seek knowledge!
If at all you have to debate first establish the foundation. Is there a God, Is Qur'an the world of God. Only after that let them question what ever question they have. Best say: You don't believe in, or the existance of the God I believe in, why should matter to you what logic He gives or what He says about such and such.
Now to your Questions. I'll give answers that which are given to us by the Qu'ran and the Sunnah and our knowledgable scholars. For us they are enough. Logical for you or not, that doesn't matter. Remember we only convey, we don't guide. We can only
help people understand the deen and it's logic, not
get them to understand it. It's upto them to accept or reject what's in front of them. We don't rub them into their faces. Similarly it's upto you to accept and reject. Whatever facts your are given, if it doesn't suit you, then suit yourself and leave. TTI is doesn't welcome arguments (weather you choose to do or not, I feel the need to let you know)
Jazakallah khair.
1. Why Islam didn't abolish the tradition of Slavery?
Slavery in Islam is not like that of times of Jahiliyyah. It's different. No free man can sold as slave. Slaves can only be taken in wars.
1) To make sure the enemies know what they are getting at, it's not just death for them if they fight the Muslims, it can be slavery for their kith and kin. With this, they would rather make peace treaty than go violent. So a lot of violence can be warded off.
2) To abolish the trend of kidnapping and making free people slaves.
3) Since there is no such thing as real Islamic war these days, there is no such thing as slavery.
I said it's different. How so? Firstly read this :
http://islamqa.info/en/ref/94840/Slavery in Islam to understand slavery in islam. You'll see that a slave is free if you hit him, he
can be a leader in wars and prayers, he is to wear what you wear, to eat what you eat. To provided with knowledge and not to get work more than he can take it. The slaves are also set free if they are of good character and behaviour. So if in wars an enemy is taken slave. He turns out to be a good man, it's Mustahaab and some scholars say Wajib to set him free. So a slave is a slave as long as he misbehaves and creates mischief. Islam didn't not abolish slavery in clear terms, but designed such system that it abolish slavery without a drop of blood spilled, a bullet fired contrary to what happened in the west.
2. When a slave girl is taken as maal-e-ghanimat, how can a man be allowed to have intercourse with her without her permission? is Islam so biased towards females??
How? by Allah's will. You have a problem with that? we don't. No Islam is not
SO baised against female. It's not baised at all. No body questions why Jannah lies under a females feet, why wife gets to keep her inherited wealth and still gets all her necessasity fulfilled by her husband contrary to the west, where even today, all the wife's wealth belongs to the husband. Why male has to go and fight and get himself killed? Why he has to be the on to deal with the responsiblities of a leader? Why do you question WHY? lol.
3. Why can a man beat his wife if she is ignorant but a wife can't if her husband is ignorant?
You mean tapping, right? He is not allowed to beat her.
Well, police can catch a theif, if police steal does the common man catch him? No. You favourite question, WHY? To keep the society stable and have a system. A father punishes his two year old when he wrongs, does the child beat his dad, No. WHY 'cos he can't. If a girl were to beat her husband. What would happen then. You don't expect him to look at her and smile, do you?
Firstly, in Islamic juridpredence that which cannot be proven Haram is halal. If there is nothing prohibiting a woman from beating her husband, she can. But if she's sensible, she's rather go legal than get her bones crushed!
Secondly, she's not tapped for being "ignorant" but for being rebellious. If she refuses his rights in bed, than after advising and discussing with her, as a last resort he can "tap" her so as to discipline her. First and foremost aim to be achieved by marriage is to fulfill each others desire in a Halal way, if that's not happening, what's the point marrying that man. Go, get separated. Leave him alone.
4. Why is Islam against family planning?
Prove please? If you read the hadith, it says what Allaah wills will happen, we can't stop it. Having many kids are encouraged, but killing ones kids or completely destroying your fertility is haram. If their is prove to say family planning is haram, please be so kind as to provide it.
5. Why will more women go in hell than men?
There are only two gender available and one had to be in excess so it was females. What's so terrible or Illogical about that? I believe we are in excess in duniya too. It's like saying why are there more men in army and women in dance business?
The reason, is given in the hadith if you read it again: it's because we curse and because we are ungrateful. You think this is wrong? who whines more and is more materialistic? Men or women?
And why menstruation is considered a cause of deficiency of 'imaan' in women even thought its not the fault of a women to get menses.
Read this :
http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showpost.php?p=440503&postcount=2 , If you wish to understand. If not. Boye boye can't help you no more!
I really need logical answers to all these questions.
Thank you.
Ahem Ahem! Do you know why religious belief is called faith? Because not everything requires logic. It just need a sincere heart and soul. For example : Explain why a mother loves her child so much LOGICALLY when he's pain when he's born, pain when he's poops, pain when he's fed, pain when he grows up? WHY?
May Allaah help you out.
Wasalamo 'Alaykum wa rahmatullahi Wa barakaatuh.
