Important points raised by Khairan

Quote:So now in which case he misjudged a decision when all where by Allah's decree????
I think your and my interpretations of the story are somewhat different. Based on what I myself have read and heard, it is my belief that the Prophet turned the woman away because he did not believe that it was permissible or appropriate within Islam for her to obtain a divorce. She is referred to as "the arguing woman" for a reason -- because she continued to return to the Prophet and demand justice for herself. Finally, the verse which vindicated her was delivered, saying that she in fact did have a right to the legal separation she sought. So, in turning her away, the Prophet was mistaken, although you are correct that he never acted against that which God told him to do.You must understand that my view of him is also as a fallible human being. I do not think he was perfect, and in fact there are at least a few recorded instances where he made mistakes. The Qur'an gives further stories of other Prophets also being fallible and prone to error (though not sin). I am not of the opinion that religious leaders, even divinely guided ones, are or should be perfect. They serve as examples to us specifically because they were able to do what is right and be great human beings DESPITE their flaws.
