Hi everyone I will make a new thread on the new board. Yes Brighterside i totally understand your point about mb. In Islam marriage is something highly recommended and cherished as it keeps you from doing evil thigs like for example porn. When it comes to mb it is something regarded as a last resort (better than commiting sin and engaging in real sex) but recommendation is to get married as soon as possible. That is the view of many eminent Islam scholars but there are those who think differently too. Quran doesnt say anything explicitly about mb I believe. What I found striking while reading different threads on this board is that everything that Allah(Allah means God in arabic) says is harmful indeed is. I had a hard time really understanding why some things are bad for example P, but after my own experience and after reading threads posted by christians and others (even by those who claim they are atheists) I realized, I understood and that is one of the reasons I find this struggle with P/devil/evil or whatever you wish to call it easier than before. Another thing that was really interesting was the bible. I got it confirmed for myself that this book was indeed once a word of God but it has been modified by people as Islam teaches(which of course is often a debate issue between christians and others). For example the last dinner that Jesus (or Isa as we usually say) had with his apostols, is described in Quran coinsiding with many things believed to be true by christians. Interesting topics and issues but enough about that for now. Stay in peace. fight the devil. Day 13

That is interesting isn't it! Although we are of different religions, we are all of the same God, one that knows and teaches right from wrong in many forms. I agree the Bible has been modified over the centuries. I believe through translations things are lost and some things are different than what is supposed to be the original meaning. I do think the Bible is right on though as far as life and living with integrity. I really like the Quran quote you used here2learn.
"O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer: eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters. " Quran (7:31)
The same meanings are found in the Bible. Day 44
I posted a question for you guys on the new board (and I agree here2learn, I like this board better than the new one).
Peace
Bright
