Dinosaurs in Islam

published by The Seeker on 9 May, 2013 - 22:54

Salams! 

This is random I know but I read an article about some dinosaur fossils in Austrailia and it just made me wonder about what Islam says about dinosuars. Is it said/written anywhere if they existed before/ after or during the time of Adam and what killed them? Was it a meteor or an astroid like scientists believe or was it the Great Flood? 

 

Please if possible back your answers with viable sources not just make stuff up...

The opening of the largest Islamic art gallery in Europe - Louvre opens new wing 10 years in the making

published by The Seeker on 22 September, 2012 - 22:49

The Louvre Museum in Paris is opening a new wing dedicated to the art of Islam. It has taken a decade and nearly 100m euro (£80m) and comes to fruition amid tensions between the Muslim world and the West.

This is the most significant and innovative architectural extension to the Louvre since IM Pei shook the venerable institution with his glass pyramid in 1989.

Joseph Kony and Kony 2012

hello

Some of you may or may not have seen this but its worth a watch:

Its quite long but do watch as the issue about Joseph Kony is real and must be addressed but please after watching the vid read this article as it just opens your eyes and stops you from giving away your soul - it makes sense once you've watched and read both things.

This is worth your time!!

What is the Islam's take on transgenders?

published by The Seeker on 2 January, 2012 - 23:19

Salaams everyone. I was recently watching a channel 4 documentary on transgenders in Pakistan and it got me wondering what Islam said on the issue of transgenders and by that I mean people born with both sets of sexual organs and hormones not people with gender issues and sex changes.

In Islam are these transgender people seen as haram, outcasts or as a third gender because at the end of the day they too are creations of Allah (SWA). Are they allowed to marry, do Hajj and Umrah? Are they allowed to fast and read namaz?

Your help in this conundrum of mine would be greatly appreciated.

Organ donation after death, are we as Muslims permitted to become organ donators and if not why?

published by The Seeker on 1 December, 2011 - 00:17

I recently watched a bbc documentary which followed a young woman who suffered from cystic fibrosis in the days around her wedding day and then organ transplant which saved her life. It just got me wondering whether Muslims are allowed to become organ donators after death and whether of not some Muslims say yes and others say no. I would also like to hear about blood donations. I hope that someone can answer these questions of mine.
