What's new

Erdogan: Islam needs to be updated. You cannot apply Islam with laws from 14 centuries ago.

^The plague of Turkey found another feeding ground. Look at them, look at themm trying hard.. =D

There is no such thing as updating the Islam. This is the wish of disbelievers. Will not happen.

Updating does not necessarily mean changing. If you insist on interprations from a millennium ago, you are bound to be called backward and failed. Stuff should be reinterprated according to today's life standarts.

but if the updating/changing is interpreted as, say, abolish death penalty or equal share in inheritance for woman etc., this is not allowed - Divine laws can't be changed.

You are free to devise new laws taking into consideration today's life standards or new realities, Islam doesn't stop you from this provided they are not against Quran & Sunnah.

So you are openly admitting that islam doesnt allow equal share of inheritance for women and men or more inheritance to woman than man even if the owner of inheritance wants it..?

Because that is exactly the type of archaic islamic laws that Erdogan here is against!

Let's make one thing clear,
Islam is not the religion of equality, it's the religion of justice.

“Verily, ALLAH enjoins Al‑‘Adl (i.e. justice)”
[al-Nahl 16:90]


So if someone claims to be a Muslim and believes Quran to be the speech of ALLAH swt', he/she should bow before the Hukum of ALLAH swt'

“ALLAH commands you as regards your children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females” [al-Nisa’ 4:11]

Why this share, ALLAH swt' knows the best.

“Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves), All‑Aware (of everything)” [ al-Mulk 67:14 ]

Still if someone is not content with the distribution ordained by the kings of the kings, ALLAH swt', than he/she is free to change the path, as there's no compulsion in religion.

But why should a woman in 2018 get only half?

Why did you just avoid answering my question? Come on I asked a simple question. So please do educate me by answering that question of mine because I really dont know the answer.

Your post implies that you were fine with women getting half in 1518,1618 ....1918 - what's special about 2018?

I have very clearly answered your question from Quran - if you are a Muslim, you should be content with what ALLAH swt' has ordained.

If you are looking for response to " So you openly admit", it's not like I secretly admitted in the past -- I go by with what's written in the Quran, if it says double share for women, I don't have any problems with this.

Regarding what If the owner of inheritance wants, yes he can give as a gift whatever he wants in his lifetime, but again if he gifts something to his one child, he should also gift the same to his other children as ordered by Prophet Muhammad saw'.

In the end, it goes down to ones faith as to how much strong he is and how much he bows before the commandments of ALLAH swt'.

Guys, we are a secular state, Quran is not our constitution. Secularism means you can live your life however you want, you can worship to any god/gods you believe. You can even make a statue and worship to it. You can be muslim, jew, christian, atheist etc. Secularism gives this freedom and that's it.

If you believe that you should give 2x of your property to your son and x property to your daughter, just do it. You can do it in Turkey, actually you can give any share of your own property to anyone as you wish.

You cannot dictate things like "this should be like this and should be implemented to anyone". No. If you think something to be done in some way, you should implement it to your own life. You cannot dictate your life style to any other people.

Shah_123, you are angry with Erdoğan's speech? Okay then, you are free to feel angry. You live your life however you want, and let others live however they want.

I am not angry at all, i don't know how you got this impression.
regarding Erdogan's speech, my Turk friends tell me that every person is giving his own colors/interpretation to his speech and that time will tell what he meant (and i agree with them)

i have no issues with anyone living any kind of life, secular/liberal/marxist/communist etc., but if anyone tells us that Islamic laws needs to be changed/amended like abolish death penalty etc., -- I have to respond.

So i agree with you, "You live your life however you want, and let others live however they want"
but if someone doesn't like Islam, just change the ship instead of trying to change Divine Laws.

and btw, there's no harm in discussion, i like good discussion.

But can you show me a Hindu terrorist caught anywhere in the world.

Those who lynch and kill for beef consumption or cattle trading are definitely the worst kind of terrorists. On top of that you have Yadav and his buddies we know as RAW. I won't mention the name of the terrorist who orchestrated the Gujarat masscre as he is the PM of india now.

How about the RSS ??
Kolkata: Claiming that RSS activists have been indicted in at least 13 terror cases across India, former Maharashtra inspector general of police SM Mushrif on Thursday described the Hindutva outfit as India's No 1 terrorist organisation.

"RSS activists have been charge-sheeted in at least 13 cases of terror acts in which RDX has been used. If organisations like Bajrang Dal are taken into the account, then the number of such cases goes up to 17," Mushrif said at an event here.
