Greetings Caringheart, Would you please explain what you were trying to understand in this verse, which you cannot grasp? You have referenced this as an example of some confusions you have about Islam. So, would you point out your confusion? thank you.

Greetings Nausheen,

I gave this as an example of how complicated I feel that Islam makes life, since I am trying to understand what is meant by the claim to the 'simplicity of Islam'.
I can only see how complicated this surah would make my life.
I can not imagine having to be concerned with so much little details within the walls of my own home... to always have to worry about who was coming or going, and whether or not I was perfectly covered, and heaven help me if someone happen to be there unannounced and I walk into a room unacceptably.  I just don't see how Islam makes life simple, that is all.  This surah is one example.  I find it so complicated to have to always be thinking about exactly which relatives are allowed to be in the room with me and which are not.  I found it mind boggling just to read and try to sort it out.

Salaam,
Caringheart
