Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet . Muhammad and Women t the time of Muhammad's birth, women in 7th century Arabia had few if any rights. Even the right of life could be in question, since it was not uncommon for small girls to be buried alive during times of scarcity. In the Qur'an, it is said that on Judgment Day "buried girls" will rise out of their graves and ask for what crime they were killed. Part of Muhammad's legacy was to end infanticide and establish explicit rights for women. Islam teaches that men and women are equal before God. Muhammad was orphaned at an early age. Beginning from the time of Muhammad's marriage to his first wife Khadijah, women played an important role in his religious career. By then, Muhammad was working to establish a new community. Only one of his wives had not been previously married. Aisha's assertion that Muhammad lived the Qur'an became the basis for Muslims ever since to emulate his example. It would be anachronistic to claim that Muhammad was a feminist in our modern sense.

It begins by embracing Hume's Skepticism and Descartes' one ``certain'' thing, and then looking for a way out of the solipsistic hell this leaves one in in terms of ``certain'' knowledge. Indeed, to the extent that philosophy in the past has sought to provide certain answers to virtually any question at all, philosophy itself proves to be bullshit - all philosophical arguments ultimately come back to at least one unprovable premise, usually unstated, and can be refuted by simply asserting ``I don't agree with your premises.'' The way out is to give up the idea of certain knowledge. Axioms by Robert G. Dedication No book is written in a vacuum. Notice Copyright Notice Copyright Robert G. Lulu Press www.lulu.com
Neil deGrasse Tyson: Atheist or Agnostic? | Neil deGrasse Tyson More ideas from Tyson Transcript I'm often asked – and occasionally in an accusatory way – “Are you atheist?” And it’s like, you know, the only “ist” I am is a scientist, all right? So what people are really after is, what is my stance on religion or spirituality or God? There are many atheists who say, “Well, all agnostics are atheists.” And some will say, well, that’s – "You’re not being fair to the fact that they’re actually the same thing." And it’s odd that the word even exists. {*style:<b>Directed / Produced by </b>*} Wine & Bowties | Thoughts On The Peculiar And Extra Ordinary
