Muslims Jews and Christians
Post #1Why is it that the Quaran Hates Christians and Jews so much? There are numerous times in the Quaran where it calls for the destruction of Christians and Jews, i don't understand why that is? Any ideas?

If woman is lower than man on earth then does this situation come with them to Heaven or does she finally reach equality wit man upon death?
women are not inferior to men in Islam.Women are like men in some aspects and they differ from them in others. Most of the rulings of Islam apply to men and women equally. In cases where a distinction is made between the sexes, the Muslim regards that as a mercy from Allah and a sign of His knowledge of His creation.
Islam does not regard men and women as equal in matters where regarding them as equal would result in injustice to one of them, because equality that is inappropriate is a severe form of injustice.
I would need an example where equality would be unjust to one of the parties!!!
The Qur’aan commands women to wear clothes that are different from those worn by men, because of the differences in the ways each sex is tempted by the other. The temptation posed by men is less than the temptation posed by women, so the clothes that women should wear are different than the clothes that men wear. It makes no sense to tell women to expose the parts of the body that men are allowed to expose, because of the differences in the temptation posed by a woman’s body and a man’s body
If you never face this temptation and overcome it, then your purity should not be enough to gain you heaven. If you could hide all sinful things then you would never master anything. How can you think that God wants people that hide evil and run away from it all the time.
Further are not the fashion set by God not in fact set by the elders of your religion and are they not all men. Women then have no say in their fashion.
About the Day of Judgement ; both men and women will be asked equally about their deeds and will be judged equally. Have I been clear or not !
What are rich women allowed?
Allowed in what exactly ! Can you clarify please !
I meant before death, can a rich woman have two husbands.
Is our sexuality in terms of male and female carried to Heaven?
God has prepared for believing people in Paradise that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and has never even crossed the minds of men.A man will have intercourse in Paradise with his wives from among al-hoor al-‘iyn ( Al-hoor al-‘iyn are extremely beautiful, such that the marrow of their shins will be visible from beneath their garments. Every man who enters Paradise will have two wives from among al-hoor al-‘iyn. )and his wives from among the people of this world, if they enter Paradise with him. A man will be given the strength of a hundred men to eat, drink, feel desire and have sexual intercourse.

One of the best things that people long for in the Hereafter is, for men, the women of Paradise, namely al-hoor al-‘iyn, and for women there is an equivalent delight. By His great wisdom, God has not mentioned what the women will have as the equivalent of al-hoor al-‘iyn for men, and that is due to modesty and shyness. How can He encourage them to seek Paradise by mentioning something that they are too shy and modest to mention or speak about themselves?
GIA wrote
Bull. Where is it writen that woman is more shy and modest than man. If the threat of man were removed her true nature might match ours .
So He has simply hinted at it, as in the verse (interpretation of the meaning):
“Therein you shall have (all) that your inner‑selves desire
[Fussilat 41:31-32]Do you ask about the place where men will live with their heavenly wives or what !
If the majority of women after death choose to have two husbands for the change, Where will the men get their heavenly wives.

This is ONLY for you !
All Muslims believe that i,n Heaven there are bodies ; people there eat and have sex ...the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“The first group to enter Paradise will look like the moon on the night when it is full, then those who follow them will look like the brightest star in the sky; they will not urinate or defecate or spit or blow their noses. Their combs will be of gold and their sweat will be musk and their incense-burners will be pearls. Their wives will be al-hoor al-‘iyn. Their appearance will be the same and they will look like their father Adam who was sixty cubits tall.”
(Saheeh al-Jaami’, 2015).
Your heaven includes bodies that still fell the need for sex.
Islam encourages and gives glad tidings of things in Paradise which are forbidden in this world, such as men having intimate relationships with women outside of the framework of marriage – before we answer this question, we must make a serious point, which is that Allaah forbids whatever He wills in this world to its people, for He is the Creator and Sovereign of these things, so it is not permissible for anyone to object to the ruling of Allaah on the basis of his foolish thinking and imperfect understanding. The ruling and the decision of the matter, before and after, is only with Allaah, and there is none who can overturn His ruling, may He be glorified and exalted.
With regard to the question of why Allaah forbids some things in this world, then in the Hereafter will permit them as a reward to those who abstained from them (such as wine, zinaa, wearing silk for men, etc.), this is what Allaah wills to give as a reward to those who obey Him and patiently strive in this world. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Is there any reward for good other than good?” [al-Rahmaan 55:60]
With regard to the reason why these things are forbidden, there follow a few important points:
Firstly:
We do not necessarily know all the reasons why things are forbidden. There are some reasons which we do not know. The basic principle is to accept and submit to the texts even if we do not know the reason, because submission is the point of Islam which is based on complete obedience to Allaah, may He be exalted.
Secondly:
Some of the reasons for the prohibitions may be clear to us, such as the corruptions that result from zinaa, e.g., the mixing of lineages, the spread of fatal diseases and so on. When Islam forbids unlawful relationships, the intention is to protect people’s lineage and honour, which may not mean anything to the kaafirs and immoral people, who jump on one another like donkeys, with a boyfriend having intercourse with his girlfriend and people having intercourse with their own relatives and so on, as if they are in the jungle. Indeed, they are worse than animals, for some animals refuse to do such a thing, but these people do not refuse and do not care. As a result of this promiscuity, the ties that bind society disintegrate and it becomes filled with fatal sexual diseases which are an indication of the wrath of Allaah towards those who violate His sacred limits and make permissible that which is forbidden.
This is unlike the relationship of a man with the Hooris in Paradise – which is what has been asked about here – for we may note that in the case of a promiscuous woman in this world, her honour is readily available to all and she has no religious commitment or shame. She is not bound by a lawful relationship to one person. So men and women have intercourse with whomever they want, with no restrictions of religion or morality. But the hooris in Paradise are restrained and restricted to their husbands to whom Allaah has given them as a reward for their patience in abstaining from haraam things in this world. As Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings):
“Hoor (beautiful, fair females) guarded in pavilions”
[al-Rahmaan 55:72]
“with whom no man or jinni has had Tamth [sexual intercourse] before them.” [al-Rahmaan 55:56]
The hoori is a wife for the man, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“… and We shall marry them to Hooris [female fair ones] with wide, lovely eyes…” [al-Dukhaan 44:54].
And they will be confined to their husbands, and no one else will have a share in them.
Thirdly:
Allaah – who has declared that in this world a man is not permitted to have more than four wives at one time – is the One Who will bless the people of Paradise with whatever He wills of al-hoor al-‘iyn. So there is no contradiction between what is forbidden in this world and in the Hereafter, because the rulings of each are different, in accordance with what the Lord wills. Undoubtedly the Hereafter is far better and more lasting than this world. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world’s life; but Allaah has the excellent return (Paradise with flowing rivers) with Him.
Say: ‘Shall I inform you of things far better than those? For Al-Muttaqoon (the pious) there are Gardens (Paradise) with their Lord, underneath which rivers flow. Therein (is their) eternal (home) and Azwaajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives). And Allaah will be pleased with them. And Allaah is All-Seer of the (His) slaves.’”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:14-15]
Fourthly:
This prohibition may be a kind of test from Allaah to His slaves, to see whether they will obey these commands and avoid that which He has forbidden. The test could not be with regard to something for which people have no inclination and which they do not like; it has to be with regard to something to which they are inclined and attracted. This testing may include wealth – will a person take from that which is permitted and dispose of it in manners which are permitted, and will he fulfil the rights which Allaah has over it? The test with regard to women is: will he restrict himself to that which Allaah has permitted him of women, and will he lower his gaze and avoid seeking pleasure in that which Allaah has forbidden. It is an aspect of Allaah’s mercy – may He be exalted and glorified – that He does not forbid something to which people are inclined without allowing something of that nature and there is much which is permitted.
Fifthly:
The rulings (ahkaam) of this world are not like the rulings of the Hereafter. The wine of this world causes people to lose their minds, unlike the good wine of the Hereafter which does not make people lose their minds or cause headaches or stomachaches. What Allaah has prepared for the believers of women on the Day of Resurrection as a reward for their obedience is not like zinaa which violates people’s honour, confuses lineages, spreads diseases and leads to regret. The women of Paradise are pure and good; they will never die or get old, unlike the women of this world. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation.
And made them virgins.
Loving (their husbands only), (and) of equal age”
[al-Waaqi’ah 56:35]
Are children born in your heaven?
NO!No children are born in Heaven ( by theway, Heaven is not mine ! It is the divine reward of God to who obeyed Him)
Your heaven allows for women to have two husbands.
I didn't say that ! You misunderstood my reply. Women will have whatever they like.
I would think that most of your women would choose to have two husbands in heaven instead of the two wife to one husband scenario.
If this is the case then there will be a shortage of women for the men who want two wives in this heaven of yours.
To these men, they have landed in hell not heaven.
What will these men do without wives?
No Muslim will land in Hell ; Muslims who had commited sins in their lives will be punished in Hell (the period depends on the number of sins committed)and then God will save them and they will stay in Heaven FOREVER !

Most muslims don't hate other religions. You are speaking of the views of extremist sects. There are Christian sects and orthodox Jewish sects that are guilty of hating other religions as well.
There is a middle eastern proverb that greatly appeals to me:
"He who understands only one religion, understands no religion."
