Was Sarah The Sis­ter Of Abraham ?

By

Was Sarah real­ly Abra­ham’s sis­ter ? Ibn Hazm ques­tions the sta­tus of Sarah as being Abra­ham’s sis­ter, as accept­ing that viz., from the Bib­li­cal per­spec­tive would result in var­i­ous dis­agree­ments with oth­er pas­sages in the Old Tes­ta­ment con­cern­ing moral and the­o­log­i­cal issues. This is in ref­er­ence to the sto­ries of Sarah’s seizure by Pharaoh and Abime’­elech which was nar­rat­ed in Gen­e­sis 12:10 – 18 and Gen­e­sis 20, Gen­e­sis 17:17 and Gen­e­sis 20:1 – 18.

Answer­ing Islam : Preach­ing What They Do Not Practise ?

The rest of the page goes on to either debase or dis­cred­it Mus­lim web­sites for their depen­den­cy on ​“athe­ist” mate­r­i­al and preach­ing about the lack of ​“con­science” on the part of Mus­lims to aban­don athe­ist mate­r­i­al (notwith­stand­ing the fact that most of the links on their page are either bro­ken or no longer exist).

Women In Islam : Islam­ic Law On Inheritance

By

Inher­i­tance deals close­ly with the dis­tri­b­u­tion of wealth, i.e. deal­ing with the trans­fer of the prop­er­ty of the deceased to the descen­dants. In most of the ear­ly soci­eties in ancient civil­i­sa­tion, the right to inher­it the deceased prop­er­ties is often giv­en to the eldest son and male rel­a­tives. Female rel­a­tives are giv­en less­er right to inher­it, and most of the time their right is denied.
