Can we Ask questions in Islam? YES!
« on: August 20, 2016, 07:19:20 PM »
"So if you are in doubt, [O Muhammad], about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so never be among the doubters"(Qur'an,10:94) Means we need to ask an Imam or someone who has read before us,unlike what claims I've seen being made on countless Islamophobic sites saying "Muslims shouldn't doubt their faith,orelse they will die" and resort to name calling once proven wrong,it is very much a baseless claim without Sources or anything at all,not even an hadith.

From my personal experience, what anti-Islamists claim usually happens to be things some deviant groups of Muslims also claim in the first place.

The Qur'an repeatedly challenges and asks for proof against it.

Quote
Say, "Then bring a scripture from Allah which is more guiding than either of them that I may follow it, if you should be truthful."

But if they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allah ? Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
(Qur'an: 28:49-50)

Quote
And they say, "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is [merely] their wishful thinking, Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."
(Qur'an: 2:111)

and another part which can be used to support logical reasoning in the religion instead of blind faith:

Quote
But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission.

And if We had decreed upon them, "Kill yourselves" or "Leave your homes," they would not have done it, except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it would have been better for them and a firmer position [for them in faith].
(Qur'an: 4:65-66)

From the talk of Nauman Ali Khan:
Allah talks, in strong words, about how no one can be a believer until he/she has no discomfort in believing what Prophet Muhammad says; then Allah says that if He had decreed things for the people that would have made no sense to the people, like suicide or leaving their homes, they wouldn't have done it; even though it would have been beneficial for them (because it would have been from the wisdom of Allah).
The previous verse was about total submission and the next is accepting the fact that in highly unreasonable situations, people would not have submitted.
