Assalaam walaikum,
But we do not need a non-Muslim to find fatawa's for us. It does not do us any good as you are not a Muslim.
I don't make them, I just have the time to sit and look for them. If I was just posting random Fatwah's that have no relevance, you would be correct but that is not the case.
You gain no benefit,either.
Knowledge. I learn so much about how what is found in the Qur'an and sunnah are put into practice by reading the Fatwahs. I learn more from them than I have here. I also gain the pleasure of helping another person.
This is a serious matter. I am a Muslim. If you are considering coming to the right path it would be a different matter.
so you would only treat me with respect if I was a Muslim, correct? That seems to run counter to everything I've read.
Why do I need a non-Believer to tell me how to think. Please explain this to me. You have to decided for yourself what it is that you want. I am not playing here.
When have I ever tried to tell you what to think without using your own sources of information? It is not my words I am quoting.
As a Believing woman I have to trust Muslims first.
I agree. Does that mean you are saying that the scholars on Islamqa.com are not Muslims?
A non-Believer does not strive to please and serve Allah. Thus, you may state your opinion and Muslims will read your opinion. It has little merit. It is not Muslim.
I love a single ayat that I suggest you read the Tafsir for...3:199. I may not be a Muslim, but I believe in Allah and I do not take his words lightly. I'm not a sell-out.
If so..we can relate on a different plane.
Again, I have to be a Muslim to be treated respectfully. How many people did Mohammad respected even though they were not Muslims?
That is none of your business.
Muslims do not need non-Believers to tell us what to do. Thank you but we can do it all by our selves. I find it highly insulting. I do not like people making a mockery of that which is precious.
1) Mohammad himself sought help from non-Muslims, even during times of war. Some, he trusted to obtain spy information, some he trusted to provide safe passage through tough lands and some he trusted and respected for their own merits.
2) I have
NEVER! EVER! made a mockery of the Qur'an, Sunnah, Companions, Mohammad or Islam!! How DARE you falsely accuse me of such a vile thing! If I have done so, prove it! post the links and quotes!
