Suntou,
I imagine this is one of the reasons a good number of the world's citizens
do not subscribe to Islam. it resigns you to perpetual dispossession with
incomplete thoughts. Consider that instead of saying "We are not equal in wealth
and education" Islam had shared with you that "Our wealth and level of
education depends in large measure on our efforts and desires". Islam all of a
sudden becomes a desirable religion for you. You will recognize that Wealth and
Education are subjective. Therefore it is presumptuous to qualify divine
interdiction in their scope for another.
What I'm afraid of is that you have indeed distilled Islam's thoughts in too
narrow a way that you risked obviating the intent. Many an impressionable
mind are confused with erroneous translation. It may be valuable when you share
your understanding of such Islamic quotes, you also share the story that the
quote distills.
I am a student of Islam and I admire the religion. I also practice some of
the traditions of the prophet Muhammad and his people to the extent they are
valuable to me and my people. That is why I cringe when I read quotes from the
quoran that do not convey fuller meaning.
Haroun Al Khairawan. You and I have a score to settle in discernments. I
will come back to that shortly. I have not forgotten, merely distracted by
weightier matter. MQDT. Darbo.
