Adultery – In Biblical And Islamic Terms

[umm Zachariah]

Assalamu aleikum,


Brothers I do think we do understand your frustration, if I may call it that.


We can 'solve' this in two ways.


We can join the forums 'out there' that has more hatred for Islam than understanding. I have been fortunate I must say, I have not entered forums that look like you describe. But I fully can take in mind that they ARE out there. Somehow Islam has this effect on many people, only Allah, SWT knows why. But if you come over them, just GO from there, you will not benefit in any way from them, that is fore sure. This is the hard and 'impossible' way to forward the teachings of Islam. Not my first choice.


OR we can hang in here, use our charm and try to explain to the ones that ARE interested in knowing. And here it is done on OUR conditions. The guest will be respected, and insha'Allah we will have a good influence on them, and it will result in that either they stay and learn, it is a process for us all, or if the truth becomes to clear to them and they feel they cannot coupe with it all, they can kindly be given a dismiss.


But I don't think to only 'cut them off' will be a good solution either. Just think the thought that we might 'push them' towards one of these anti-Islamic sites, where they will learn NOTHING of value of Islam? Did we then do our duty in every way we can?


And now I am not talking about the horror examples that I have managed to meet here, that has been cut off directly for so obvious reasons.


I still feel, I don't know of course if I am right or wrong, that when people write regulary, return over and over again, to a forum where the family is as 'tight' as this one is, that their inner aim may be a wish to true knowledge in first hand, but they disguise it well. Allahu alem. But sisters and brothers, we can help one another to be observant to anything that goes beyond this insha'Allah and then put the siren on.


Wasalam
