Female circumcision or Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) seems to be sanctioned in Islam.
Sahih al-Bukhari 5891 - Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard the Prophet saying. "Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits."
And if you are starting to think that circumcision is only applicable to males, then read the following:
Jami at-Tirmidhi 108 - Aishah narrated: "When the circumcised meets the circumcised, then indeed Ghusl is required. Myself and Allah's Messenger did that, so we performed Ghusl."
Sexual contact is referred to as circumcised part of male meeting circumcised part of female, clearly indicating that circumcision is held to be the norm for both sexes. The traditional schools of Islam - Shafi, Hanbali, Maliki and Hanafi all considered it either as obligatory or as preferred. If you are unaware of the health hazards of female circumcision, all you need is a small research on the internet.
A standing testament to how Islam directly brought in FGM in this world is Indonesia. Before 13th century Islam was not even there and the region had nothing whatsoever to do with female circumcision. Today Indonesia is 87% Muslims. Surveys have found that more than 95% of the Muslim females undergo FGM before the age of 18. If you still think the genital mutilation of females is nothing more than an "African cultural problem", then think again.
Hei Rohit Balakrishnan!
ReplyDelete(1)Who are you? Are you Muslim? You are not, then why you talk about Islam,your article consists of
BIG ERRORS because you cut and paste without honestly revailing the actual chronicle events of it! PROOF OF YOUR EVIL INTENTIONS AND IGNORANT! (2)Are you cleverer
than God? If yes, then don't use God's soul, brain, eyes, mouth, nose etc created by God, create yourself! Don't eat food and drinks created by God, create yourself! Don't live in this earth created by God, create yourself!!! If you acknowledge God cleverer than yourself, then SHUT UP, don't judge God!!!
(2)STOP translating Quran and giving opinions, you are NOT QUALIFIED!!!
Before you open your mouth, read these :
There are at least 11 sub-knowledge(besides 3 below) for a person (Muslim or not) to MASTER to qualified in interpreting the Holy Quran, read :
(1)Tafsir refers to the accurate interpretation of the Quranic texts, such as Arabic grammar and syntax, Arabic literature and Quranic sciences (Uloom al-Quran). A commentator’s familiarity with modern fields of learning, like the pure sciences and social sciences can aid in making the Quranic explanations relevant to modern human society.
(2)Usool at-Tafsir literally means “The Fundamental Principles of Quranic Interpretation”. It refers to those branches of knowledge which are necessary to provide the proper Quranic interpretation (tafsir). This branch of knowledge provides the step-by-step methodology of interpreting the Quran to ensure that interpretations are not merely the result of human whims and fancies.
(3)Uloom al-Quran, refers to all the fields of knowledge which aid in elucidating the Quran. These include the following :
1.Knowledge of tafsir (exegesis),
2.Qiraa’aat (recitations),
3.Ar-rasmul-‘Uthmaanee (the ‘Uthmaanic script),
4.I‘jaaz al-Quran (miraculous aspects of the Quran),
5.Asbaab an-nuzool (reasons for revelation),
6.An-naasikh wal-mansookh (abrogating and abrogated verses),
7.I‘raab al-Quran (Quranic grammar),
8.Ghareeb al-Quran (unusual Quranic terms),
9.Religious rulings,
10.Arabic language
11.Arabic literature.
* Therefore, as you can see, you ARE NOT qualified to interpret the Quran(not even a single sentence or a word), so don't ever try!
A lot of the ignorant interpretations are TOTALLY WRONG and so their and your opinions. Simply because you don't get from the Authentic Sources. Among Authentic Sources of books interpreting Quran by the Scholars :
*Tafsir At Tabari.
*Tafsir Al Qurtubi.
*Tafsir Ibnu Kathir.
*And Many More.
*REFER TO THESE AUTHENTIC SOURCES, DON'T EVER USE YOUR LIMITED BRAIN. If brain can be use, God don't sent Prophet Muhammad pbuh to explain it(HADITH).(to be continue)
(3)To translate let alone interpret Quran, (First and foremost)you MUST BE a Scholar(can you let someone build your house who know nothing about Building, building materials,soil, architectural, engineering, electrical, plumbing to give the least).(Second)MUST be a MUSLIM! Because only Muslims(to be exact BELIEVERS) are 'guided', others are NOT(to be exact, guided by SATAN). Most of your article is just cut and paste here and there, to suit your evil mission and intention. You neglect the chronicle orders of that particular event. You neglect other views of the Scholars who are more knowledgeable and more authority, which will give more accurate meanings of that particular subject mainly because YOU HAVE EVIL INTENTION AND MISSION! So DELETE YOUR WEBSITE, It's USELESS AND SHIT! Because it comes from (1)EVIL INTENTIONS AND MISSIONS.(2)Unqualified person.(3)Misleading and polluting Islam which is Sacred.
ReplyDelete(8)Rohit Balakrishnan, the difference between others talking about our belief and vice-versa is : Other beliefs especially liberalism and atheism does not holds responsibility and accountability, so why criticized? Our beliefs comes with responsibility and accountability, that it's our duty towards God to bring 'wrong' to 'right'.(9)Lastly, let settle this RIGHT NOW, to know who is right between us : In the middle of the night(no single one hear), you say SINCERELY(with humble and low voice(you only hear),(1)If you REALLY sincere to find the TRUTH say, "Oh God who creates the universe, show me your way".(2)If you don't believe in God, say "Oh God, if you exist, take my life now! YOU WILL SURELY FIND THE TRUTH!!!
