surely thats an interpretation of the text not what it actually says.
you maybe correct however it doesnt say that. what im trying to get at is if the quran is the unaltered word of god surely you cant imposs your own interpretations on the text and thus possible alter gods words

Slaves and servants? Sounds a bit mediaeval!
Oxford Univerity Press have an English language "World's Classics" paperback edition which is easy to get. I'd say Christians should read this if only to understand the Islamic view of Jesus.

its all up to culture... in my area only a few cover their faces... the statement just says to wear clothing that will not cause a man to be arouse or desire to think or do sin... thats all, beauty also goes with the figure of the women, that figure will not be allowed to show, meaning no tight fitting clothing!! nothing about covering up the face, or that or this watsoever.... just wear somthing appropiate..
and just to mention.. a man will be doin a sin to stare at a women more than once... as this will lead to fantasy of desire.. Thus women in some culture decide to cover their faces to help US men.. from doin such thinking...
u may say how about frends talking a man n a women.. talking is different u dont think of lust (that if u dont), but if u do, then u know ur doin a sin... thats why as gd women of Islam they help us by covering their faces..

thats great thats what i was getting at the culturally people have distored the qurans meaning to suit themseleves.
your explaination was what i always understood islam to be about, which is very sensible when you think about it.
in its purest form islam can be a very good and very sensible religion a lot more progressive than its given credit for.

The women in Islam does not need to cover her face, but some women do. Islam does not place burden on a soul more than it can bear.

@peter kay
that again was my understanding yet culturally some do expect women to cover up which i find strange.
however hopefully discussions like this will help clear up myths around islam and give people more knowledge on the religion

that s what i was getting at since the quran is meant to be the dictated word of god unaltered.
yet all to often i see people acting in ways very different to the qurans teachings yet claiming to be muslim
Hi there
I'd like to clarify why there is so much difference within the muslims around the world...
Being muslim means we should follow the teachings of the quran...
BUT this is not enough by itself...
The quran only teaches us the do's and don'ts
It doesn't explain the HOW's
this is where the sunnah comes in... Which is basically what our prophet (peace be upon him) did and said.
We are told how to do things and how the prophet (peach be upon him) did everything in his life.
A lot of people unfortunately do not follow the sayings and teachings of the prophet (peace be upon him) thinking that following the quran is enough... Unfortunately they are wrong and may Allah guide them.
Once you follow the texts of the prophet (peace be upon him), you get the correct islam that muslims should strive to be followers of.
If you are interested in reading these teachings of out prophet (peace be upon him) then you should google BUKHARI and read the books of prayer, manners, women, money, ablution and EVERYTHING else
