inb4 muh muh pedo

Pedophilia was common at that time, people need to come up with better argument if they want to refute islamic thought & it's teachings. Prophet's teachings changed the superstitious & dogmatic society of pre islamic society of Arabia so a couple of bad things in his name doesn't cancels out all the great things.

And yh bishops & priests exploited far more children then prophet & his followers.

Very halal post.

Thx, how much core islamic litreature you've read so far ? I hope you've read atleast more than me since you're religious & I'm not muslim, I started getting into islamic litreature last year.

Not to mention, many sheikhs are soy sheikhs who are westernized and spread anti-Islamic ideas

you're probably right. i haven't read any works from non muslim authors tho, i wouldnt use their works as trustable sources either way

 

[Aurelius74]

You shouldn't read from non Muslim historians and religion enthusiasts but fine

Do u want me to suggest beginners to read massive 20 volume comprehensive islamic litreature ? I js suggested 3 best initial reads to get into things. And no it doesn't matter, if u still think that someone's background or faith matters more than their work than u still haven't learned Prophet's teachings.

i want to read quran

if you find the quran too difficult to read you should read the tafsir of the quran by as-sa'di

 

[Aurelius74]

That's still not beginner friendly, it's like 10 massive volumes of commentary on Quran.

yeah but if you find the quran too hard to understand and you absolutely want to read it then that's the best way

No religion has ever been about science, and thread was about islamic history, art, litreature & teachings, it's pointless to argue about what's right or wrong cuz I never mentioned or said anything about theology.
