Come on shi’a, argue this please

The Quran emphatically declares that the pure should only marry the pure. Allah (عز و جل) commands:

“Marry those among you who are single and the righteous ones among yourselves, male or female.” (Quran, 24:32)

Allah (عز و جل) further declares:

“Impure women are for impure men and impure men are for impure women. Pure women are for pure men and pure men are for pure women.” (Quran, 24:26)

The Shia revile Aisha (رضّى الله عنها), so to counter this argument, the Shia bring up the wives of Prophet Nuh (عليه السلام) and Prophet Lut (عليه السلام). Both of these women were married to pure Prophets, and yet they themselves were impure and will burn in Hell-Fire, according to the following verse in the Quran:

“Allah has made an example for those who are an unbelieving people: the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut. They were married to two of Our servants who were believers, but they betrayed them and were not helped at all against Allah. They were told: ‘Enter the Fire along with all who enter it.’” (Quran, Surat at-Tahrim: 10)

However, it seems that this argument is inconsistent and we hope to, Insha-Allah, show that if anything, the fact that these two Prophets had sinful wives is only a testament against Shi’ism, since it creates a logical inconsistency in the Shia theology (which we shall examine in this article).

The Quran clearly says that a pure man should not marry an impure woman. In fact, Ayatollah Khomeini said: “It is forbidden in Islam to marry the Fasiqoon (sinners).” So the obvious question is: why did Prophet Nuh (عليه السلام) and Prophet Lut (عليه السلام) do so?

The Ahlus Sunnah has a simple answer to this question: Prophet Nuh (عليه السلام) and Prophet Lut (عليه السلام) did not know about their wives’ sinfulness at the time that they were getting married. Hence, they did not violate Allah’s commands willfully. They did not marry sinful women intentionally. Had the two known that their wives would be Kufaar (disbelievers), it is likely that they would never have married them in the first place. But only Allah knows Al-Ghaib (the Unseen), and only Allah (عز و جل) knew their eventual destination of Hell-Fire.

To this, a Shia might respond that perhaps Prophet Muhammad (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) likewise married Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) without knowing her true nature. Perhaps he too married an impure person without knowing. However, here a problem arises within Shia theological beliefs. The Shia adamantly believe that the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) and the Imams know the Al-Ghaib (the Unseen); they have knowledge of everything in the heavens and the earth. So it is not possible for the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) not to know the nature of Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) since–according to the Shia–he must know everything.

“Imam Ali said: “I swear by God Who holds my soul in His hand that I know all that the Prophet knew, and that I know all of the past and all of the future, up until the Day of Resurrection.”

According to Al-Kafi, the most reliable of the four Shia books of Hadith, the Imams could supposedly tell who is going to Paradise and who is going to Hell-Fire merely by listening to a person’s voice:

“By listening to the voice of a person, the Imams can tell if the person was destined to go to hell or to heaven; they would thus answer his questions accordingly.” (Usool Al-Kafi, p. 185)

Hence, the Shia cannot make the claim that the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) did not know the nature of Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) when he married her. If Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) was impure and sinful, then the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) knew it (according to the Shia belief). If the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) then knowingly married an impure and sinful person, then the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) was violating multiple verses in the Quran which forbid this.

There is no way around this for the Shia. The fact of the matter is that the Shia have no way that they can rationalize the manner in which these two Prophets married sinful women. According to the Shia belief, the Prophets knew the character and destination of these women. It is simply an inconsistency in the Shia belief: were not the two Prophets being sinful by intentionally marrying sinful women?

You should refer to the Shiite talmudic scriptures (Al Kafi, Bihar Al Alanwar..etc)

Or refer to the fatwas by Rabbi Khomoaini™ such as necrophilia, sex with animals, sex with infants, shirk, drugs (my favorite)…etc

Is it true that the FULFILLMENT of our hoped-for dreams is the faith that is given us as a gift? The faith itself is the gift that fulfills us. So that proof is not only unnecessary. It is irrelevant.

Faith is believing something is real. I have faith that God is real, and i don’t need proof, although having proof (The Bible) is helpful to me.

Maker of Health Care and of all Crises seen and unseen. Our hope and change in time of trouble.
Yea. Redsawdo. You have seen the light. We are the goats of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

It is so welcome to find a fellow brother of the faith.

"And on the fifth day, he blessed his flock with the hopes of change and hope, and they were pleased."

"Faith is the "assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen"."

THE REASONING USED IN THIS STATEMENT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT A PIMP USES TO TAME HOZ.

Hope is the knife at your back and faith the hand that wields it.

of things hoped for-substance=what underlies things hoped for. If you say you have no faith or you say faith has no substance; are you not saying you never hope for anything you have yet to see? How sad.
Question: If you say that faith has no substance; are you not saying that you have never hoped for anything that you have yet to see??

The word translated substance is the greek word (hupostasis) I believe. It means "essence" or properly translated, substance. Faith is a real thing, it is a noun. Faith is the gift of God that enables true belief. Faith is not hope, but faith gives hope. Faith is not "believing", but faith allows belief. When we are granted the faith of Christ, by God, we then have hope!

I’m writing a novel set int he 19th Century. It is fictional crime, based around the troubled life of a private detective, a reluctant civil war officer, a beautiful woman thief, and an evil and devious mastermind. My detective is really in tune with criminal psychology so I want this story to have extraordinary unseen before setting. I hope I’ve described enough for you to make suggestions.

All the Cathedrals will have Crypts, including St. Pauls and Westminster Abbey, but if you want something a little more arcane, try Southwark (pronouced suthark) Cathedral, unless youwant something famous, but somtimes going for the less obvious has advantages, less people will know if you get it wrong.

Plus I have just looked at the site and it had building work done in the 1890s which from a plot point of view can have attractions. Molten lead for the roofing work, molten tar bubbling away for underground work finding unknown parts of the building ???

The London Underground (Subway) had been started, plus most of the theatres have underground rooms, storage, passageways.

Also don’t forget the ‘London Particular’ this was dense fog called Smog (smoke and Fog) that often enveloped ‘the Smoke’ another nickname for London. From Autumn (Fall) through to late Spring there would often be thick smog so dense you could not see much above twenty feet in day light and a lot less at night. It was caused by all the smoke belching out from the chimneys of houses and factories.

Great cover for deadly deeds, Jack the Ripper and so on.

im doing an essay on the book: A Hope and the Unseen, im doing it on how faith and hope play a great role in Cedric’s life. PLEASE help. I need it by tomorrow morning around 9:30

can’t help, can’t read

Little Rupert just wanted to live! He walked in to my arms a frail, sickly kitten… blinded by conjunctivitis, sneezing, 103.5 fever, and had scratched most of the skin, fur, & whiskers from his face.

By touching upon his story, I hope to shed a light on the oftentimes unseen suffering of homeless pets & abandoned animals.

Much of the footage was shot at a property in Van Nuys, CA. Behind it’s gates lies a serious cat hoarding situation. Most of the still images are rescued cats & kittens of my own.

The pet overpopulation problem exists in neighborhoods across the United States. This is my first attempt at making a video and I hope it reaches the hearts & minds of many. More so, to reiterate the importance of “Spaying & Neutering.”

One person really CAN make a difference.

Love, ~Rhae
