There are many misconceptions that exist within the field of Islam one being the topic of women. Unfortunately due to ignorance and lack of knowledge of some people and the ever growing propaganda and Islamaphobia that exist today, including the ever growing media agenda’s that govern the way people think and act, women are deemed as being unequal to men in Islam.
We are all aware that women and men are not alike so I don’t understand when someone makes the statement that Islam should practice equality, what do you mean by equality??? This word – equality – which many thinkers in both the east and the west advocate in various fields of life is a word which is based on deviation and a lack of understanding, especially when it is attributed to the religion to Islam. One of the things that people misunderstand is when they say that “Islam is the religion of equality�. What they should say is that Islam is the religion of justice.
Here we should note that there are some people who speak of equality instead of justice, and this is a mistake. We should not say equality, because equality implies no differentiation between the two. Because of this unjust call for equality, people start to ask, what is the difference between male and female?’ So they made males and females the same. We are all aware that the Male is not like the female.
God says in the Quran:
“And the male is not like the female�[Quran Aal ‘Imraan 3:36] The male is different from the female in many ways, in his strength, in his body, in his toughness and roughness, whereas women are soft and gentle. 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 God and a sign of His knowledge of His creation, but the arrogant people see it as oppression and injustice, so he stubbornly insists on claiming that men and women are the same. So let him tell us how a man can carry a foetus and breastfeed it? He stubbornly ignores the weakness of women and how they bleed during their monthly period, and he stubbornly refuses to accept reality.
But the Muslim is still at peace with his faith, surrendering to the command of God. “Should not He who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves), All Aware (of everything)� [Quran al-Mulk 67:14 ]

That is false, the words in Quran are Muhammads words, not the words of a god. Hence, it is Muhammad who was wrong about stating the falseness of such a theory long before the theory even existed. Obviously, this is childishly fabricated.HaLi8993 wrote:
ANSWER: Help me to understand that we evolve into new life forms? Of course it conflicts with my religious beliefs lol, especially due to the fact that God makes it clear of the falseness of such a theory and how this view is not correct, the evidence for that is that God has described in the Quran the stages of the creation of Adam. Â
Your sermon falls on deaf ears because everything you say is little more than indoctrinated beliefs and denial of reality. Threats of eternal hellfire are childish and laughable and only serve to demonstrate sheer desperation and the want of the oblivious.In my opinion people want to believe in he theory of Evolution in order to justify there own beliefs, that they don't want to believe in God, hence having an easy life without any rules, boundaries regulations and responsibilities, no worship, no morals, no respect just a hedonistic mindset, the truth of the matter is people don't want to exsert the least bit of effort in seeking the truth but rather choosing to believe what they want in order to suite their own whims and desires, unfortunately such people will be lost till the day of Resurrection when each person will be accountable for each and every word and deed committed. This isn't a light issue your life here on earth will determine either eternal hellfire or eternal Paradise the answers to our existence is very clear and this is found in no other than the religion God has chosen for all of mankind.Â

They call God a liar
Post #763God said in the the Bible on different occasions that Jesus is His "Beloved son in whom He is well pleased" Muslims say that it is not possible for God to have a son. This calls Jesus a liar and God. Jesus called God His father not His partner or associate. This is one of their misconceptions of God. Their misconceptions of Islam are many. They don't realize that Islam has its roots in pagan pre Islamic history or the prophecy Muhammad gave about Allah's daughters who are partners with Allah or the fact that Allah was ignorant of the Christian trinity. No where does the Quran, Muhammad or Allah come against the trinity as the Christians understand the trinity to be.HaLi8993 wrote: @ Burninglight

ANSWER: Yes, in many places of the bible the words "son of God" are used and attributed to others also, this means the servant of God in Hebrew so I could say we are all the sons of God.
No we are not calling Jesus (peace be upon him) nor God  a liar, because we don't believe that God had instructed people to believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) is Gods son nor did Jesus himself instruct such a thing, the liars are the authors of the bible that have changed and distorted the true teachings of Jesus (peace be upon him) and have made people believe in the concept of Trinity.
Jesus (peace be upon him) calling God His father doesn't suggest anything, priests are called "father" (forgive me father for I have sinned). Moreover there is a contradiction because in Matthew 23:9 it says:
“And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.â€�Â
More to the point why then does Jesus (peace be upon him) in the Lord's prayer address the Lord as "Father" and then refer to the Father's children throughout as "Us" and "We," instead of separating himself from the rest of the children of God, as the Trinity would seem to demand? I wouldn't call this a Misconception at all I call it the tampering and changing of scriptures.
Yes, these paganostic beliefs existed prior to the advent of the Messenger (peace be upon him) they do not exist anymore, as for the daughters claim I have already been through this with you, furthermore God makes it very clear that the Trinity concept is not accepted in the Quran as well as the old testament, as this was not what God instructed people to uphold and practice.

You have grave misconceptions of Christianity and Islam. Of course God had many sons starting with Adam, but Jesus was unique in that He was conceived of a virgin and he was the only prophet to live a life without sin and the perfect beloved son of God. He was the only one called Immanuel meaning God with us. Your comments are silly.HaLi8993 wrote: @ BurninglightÂ

If you're going to make a statement that Jesus wasn't sinless, you should prove it or show your source. In the Quran Muhammad was told to ask for forgiveness so we know he wasn't sinless. I have proved with Scripture in the Bible God said Jesus is His "Beloved son." So, there you go again making false unconfirmed statements.HaLi8993 wrote: @ Burninglight

ANSWER: The fact that baptism stands as a sign for one that has repented of sin is one example. In Mark 1:4, Mark presents Jesus (peace be upon him) as a repentant sinner:Â
people "flocked" to John, "and were baptized by him in the River Jordan, confessing their sins…It happened at this time that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John" (Mark 1:5, 9).Â
Therefore it's either Mark did not realize what he was saying, or developed a theology of Jesus' sinlessness.Â
In regards to sins, we don't claim that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was devine, all the Messengers, including Muhammad  (peace be upon him) never committed any sin intentionally as an act of disobedience towards God after receiving their Mission. Messengers are  protected from major sins but not from minor sins. Therefore they make mistakes however God points out their Mistakes as a Mercy to them and their nations, and He forgave their mistakes and accepted their repentance as a Grace and Mercy, for God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. This is Evident in the Quran.Â
God would never say that Jesus (peace be upon him) is his son, cause this is not true, God is the One the Only who does not have a wife nor a Son. God warns against such statements in the Quran, I have shown you how many people in the bible where referred to the son of God, doesn't mean much at all.
