Day Questions

My legal divorce from my husband is taking many months, maybe one year. My husband refuses to do Islamic divorce until the legal divorce is finalized. In this period of waiting, may I perform temporary marriage with another man? If I have my needs to be fulfilled?

You are still his wife. You are not permitted to marry another man, and it is one of the major sins to do so. We advise you to reconsider returning to your husband and finding a way to reconcile the issues that have come up.

I am a Christian living in the United States. I am curious as to why so many Muslims hate Christians. I have been to many Islamic Web sites on the internet, but no one can answer this Question. I have spoken with a Muslim friend who grew up in Saudi, and he told me about his education and what is taught to young children. It seems to me that what is taught is hatred towards Christians and Jews. How is this Justified?

What you have mentioned in the Muslims’ hatred for Christians and Jews does not represent Islam’s position towards the Abrahamic religions. It is rather the result of political conflicts and manoeuvring, where disputes are made to look like they are between religions. It is unfortunate that politicians use anything they can for their own agendas, even religion, which is a set of values and ideals expressed with affection, peace and justice. The followers of the Abrahamic religions used to live side by side with Muslims in history, and there was peaceful coexistence between them. These relationships were only disturbed by political frictions, and had nothing to do with religion.
