ADEENUL �AQL � RELIGION IS INTELLECT .

 

Why is there such strict segregation of Muslim men and women?  Why aren't you allowed to worship together as a family even at your mosque?

 

When you are at home yes you can. The father or a most senior male person as the imam or leader. But when in the mosque, the men have to be segregated from women. The explanation is below.

 

Why aren't dogs allowed in the house?  They are one of God's most wonderful creatures.

 

Why are some musical instruments haram?  Which ones?  Do you like music?

Of course I do like music. But that was when I was young. Now, it does not make much diference whether I hear music or not. Music makes me forget my zikr � remembrance of God. If you want to know further here is the link. http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/5000

 

 

Do you read fiction novels? I did., when I was younger and my faith was still not strong enough. Now, again it is a waste of time. It is much preferable that I go on line and read informations about Islam or read Islamic books.

 

Do you like live theatre? � There is no necessity. I can live without it.

 

Why is it considered immodest for a woman to have her arms exposed but not a man's?  I ask this because for recent problems in the UK with washing before surgery and attending patients?

 

Islam teaches that a man�s desire/passion/lust starts from the eyes. Men gets easily aroused sexually when seeing a woman especially if the women bare themselves. Some men gets excited sexually when seeing a woman�s hair, some eye the neck, some love the figure and the bum while most men love to ogle a woman�s boobs.

On the other hand, a woman�s desire/passion/lust starts from the touch. In order for men to increase the sexual drive of a woman, the first thing that they do is caressing the bare skin.  

Whenever you attend a gathering of Muslims, whether in prayers, in classes or public forums, women will be seated in the rear while men will be in the front. This is to save the men from the whisperings of satan and lust and hence can concentrate more in their prayers or in their studies.

Imagine a woman praying infront of a man and the when doing ruku� or bowing, he sees the bum of the woman infront of him, satan or lust will sure take advantage. Hence the law on hijab. These Islamic teachings are from God Al-Mighty, Al-Aleem � All Knowing.

 

As I said, I'll probably be adding to this list of questions.  If you sincerely wants to know more, you should just google  or perhaps go to sites like this http://www.islamqa.com/en

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I attend church and we sit wherever we want.  No bowing goes on but there is a fair amount of standing and singing.  No one looks like satan is whispering in their ears and men don't seem to look like they're going to jump anyone once the service is over.  Coffee hour runs smoothly too.  I forgot to mention that we have a Bible session before the service.  That's a mixed group also and so far nothing has happened and it's been going on for years.  I would venture a guess that what you call Islamic teachings are actually some hadith handed down by some guy who was totally preoccupied by sex and puritanical at the same time. 

 

I'm trying to digest the rest of your answers.  It will take a while.
