Thread: Reason for Hijab: Womens hair emits dangerous sex rays

The purpose of man:

I've tried to make this as short as possible , but a little background first. Remember that this is just our Beliefs and it is not something I can proove.This is mostly my opinion ( and my moulanas) as you have asked. It is an assumption made by viewing various parts of the Quraan and haadith.
Different muslims have differing beliefs.

Okay, firstly we believe that God has lived forever and always will. He has no equals or no sons, daughters or a wife. In other words he is unchallenged.He is unique and has no partners.He is completely different to us and any other of his creations.

Here is a verse from the Quraan: (Pg: 106 A. yusuf Ali.)

Say, He is God
The one and only,
God the eternal absolute.
He Beget not nor is he begotten
and there is none like unto him.
(Sura 112)


As he has never had an equal and never will,we believe that this has led to an arrogance on his part.This has led to him wanting to be worshiped. And originally, he created angels to do two things. One being to worship him. And the other being to create things(Angels being his appendages). We generally believe that when God wants something to exist, it doesnt just magically appear, it has to go through a process of creation. The time that it takes for these things to be created may seem like a few days to him, but it will seem like millions of years relative to us:


Like example the creation of the Earth, he says :

"And your lord is God who created the Heavens and the Earth in six Days(Yaum)"
[Sura 7 : 54]

The word Yaum is translated as Days here by most, but the word can also mean 'periods'. Any way these days are Days relative to Gods timescale. For us :

"In a day (yaum), whereof your measure is like 50 000 years."
[Sura 70 : 4] also [32:5]

In any case, the numbers 6,7,1000, 50 000 are taken to be the equivalent of the words "very long periods of time" in Arabic. So they don't represent an actual figure.

Like for example :
You can say in English," It took me a millions of days to finish my homework".In Arabic,"It took me 7 days to finish my homework".
So they are numbers that arent really to be taken literally.


Any way back to the story.
So Gods supremacy led him to create a class of beings known as angels that would acknowledge hissupremacy and worship him.
Think about it...
Whats the worth in having a being designed to worship you just worshipping you.No matter what , it will worship you. An angel is like a computer,it just does what you tell it without questions like why? etc...
It is assumed that they have some kind of thought but they don't have emotion.


So God decided to created a second Class of being that he called the JINN race.

These beings will have a few differences to the angels.

They will be able to have thought and emotion.
They will not need to ask for Gods leave for everything they do.
They will be given the ability to travel vast spans of space at will.
They can alter and interfere with gods creation to a certain extent and learn things on their own.

But their restriction is that they MUST worship God.No other option was given to it.
The advantage of this being is that it will have thought about its creator and worship it. It wont just be like an angel doing what it is told, it will worship and and think about the glory and power of its creator in its past time and this will hounour God even more.

Now from this point our beliefs differ slightly with some other muslims, but I will use quotes to justify.


God then chose one of the jinns known as IBLEES (Satan, some assume he is not entirely a Jinn), and thought him the works of many things. Astounded at the way things worked. This new leader of the jinns (Assumption) would go back to the Jinns and try to explain some of the things he learnt. These jinn students once understanding a concept would be so fascinated that they would praise Gods name even more.
But the jinns wanted to explore their realm and talk amongst themselves and didn't really want to worship God.And God knew this.
Every time God created something, he invited all of them to watch.


This time round, God wanted to create a third type of being.Us.
This time God wanted an even better type of worship.And he wanted this being to worship him without even asking them.

In the Quraan it says :

'We created man from a clay that makes sounds('Silsal').From mud moulded into shape.

And the jinn race we had created BEFORE, from the fire of a scorching wind.'

[Sura 15 : 26] Pg 642(A.Yusuf Ali).

Our advantages is that:

We can do as we please in our realm( Known as Jahanna(heaven), or the 7 th realm) .
Everything was at our disposal.
And all of us were thought the nature of 'ALL' things.
We werent asked by God to do anything but one thing, and that is,"not to eat of the forbidden fruits.." In Islam it is referred to as fruits rather than fruit in Christianity.Some people take this to be an actual fruit, others take this to be 'Sex'. Others take this to be 'Benefits'.My interpretation of the word 'Fruits' is 'benefits'.Though not asked to worship God, many of them marvelled at his creation and did. And then there were also some that didnt.God wanted to proove to mankind ( and those jinns I mentioned earlier) that some of them were not worthy of this special treatment. So the whole Satan thing in Islam is a thing that we believe God knew was going to happen.

When mankind was being created, The angels and Iblees were called to see.

God asked them all to bow down to the supremacy of "Adam".Adam is taken to be a single persons name in christianity. The belief is also assumed in Islam to a certain extent. the word "Adam" or "Adami" can actually mean 'Man' in Arabic. So some assume that he is reffering to mankind as a whole and not just a single human being.
Iblees didn't bow down to Adam as he believed that he was better then him.
And this is assumed to be the first time a creature disobeyed God.

God had immediately got angered with Satan and sought a way of punishment.
Ibless's Goal was to try and show God that mankind was not worthy of the extra priveleges that he had given them.
Iblees made a deal with God. You may punish me, but give me a chance and I will show you that I can persuade man to do the one thing you have forbidden them to do(The forbidden fruits/ benefits).
If I am right, Then punish them by putting them in a world like that of the jinns. Put them in a world where they have to aquire knowledge and we will see how unintelligent they are.
God then granted to Satan that if he could make mankind partake of the forbidden Fruits, then he will throw them all out of heaven. But this is what he will do.
He will place them on the first heaven (on Earth) for a period.He will give them Limitations even more severe in some cases then that of the jinns. He will place a veil on them that will limit their intelligence. He will make them unaware of their past(except by religion). And all knowledge they gain will have to be aquired.
God said that even then, mankind will develop and rise beyond satans expectations prooving to him that they are better, even with limitations.Those that don't contribute will be again punished, and those that contribute will return to heaven.
Satan then asked if he could be the one who would lead mens hearts astray on the Earth and this was granted.

God also took jinns and wiped their memories clean and placed them 'in the lower heavens' Of the jinns those that hear the message of the existence of a God ( via listening in on humans) and accept him will be given heaven. Those that don't shall be sent to a 'spiritual school' known as Hell.The Jinns however will be able to tnasgress onto the plane of Earth and will keep their ability to travel vast spans of space.However they must hear the 'The Criterion' (All the revelations by god in this realm) by listening and watching man.Only we will get prophets.


So far the biggest assumption made is that we existed before and initially lived in heaven:

In the Quraan it says:

"We said: 'Oh Adam(Can be translated as Man?), dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as you will.But approach not this tree or ye run into harm and transgression.'

Then did Satan make them slip from the Garden and get them out of the state of felicity on which they had been in.
We said.'Get ye down ALL YE PEOPLE(more than two humans?)' ....."

So why are we here and what was the purpose of man?

Our conclusions are this:

For God to proove to Iblees that even in our current state of limited intelligence, mankind will advance to a point where he will be able to accomplish more than a Jinn even though the Jinns were not as limited as us and given a headstart in this realm. God says that we will overtake them, and proove to satan that man is a better creation.

To separate those who are deserving of the 7 th realm or heaven from those who are not.
Those who are not will be punished in 'Jahannam' or hell. They will be spiritually cleansed.

It is a test for mankind and ultimately a bet with Satan.
In the new realm after 'youmoul Qayyamah' (Day of judgement) Both good humans( not only muslims) and good jinns will be permitted to the 7 th heaven.

Forgive me for any spelling errors.
BTW, We also believe in the comming of Christ.
