The Law of the Levirate Marriage in Bible versus Quran

 

In the Bible, the Lord God urges the Levirate Marriage that is the marriage by a man with his brother’s widow if the dead brother was childless. 

The Law of the Levirate Marriage is not mentioned therein in the entire Quran.

The Law of the Levirate Marriage in the Bible

 

In the Bible, Deuteronomy 25:5-10, if you were a brother, your brother died without producing an offspring; the Biblical law in such case is that the widow, your sister in law should be your wife. However,

What if she does not seem good to you?
What if you do not like her?
What if she is malicious?
What if you do not have the money to support her?
What if you are already happily married?
How come that your son does not carry your name?

 

Then, if you persist in saying; I do not want to marry her; in this case, you got spit in the face and called the family of the Unsandaled!

The term, “The family of the Unsandaled” is a shameful term.

The Law of Levirate Marriage in the Quran

 

The Law of the Levirate Marriage is not mentioned therein in the entire Quran.

In addition, Verse 33: 5 says: Name them to their true fathers. That is more equitable, that is more just, better, more correct and fairer in the sight of Allah in relation to lineage. The son should carry his true father’s name.

 

==================================

 

The Bible, Deuteronomy 25:5-10 (King James Version)

 

5) If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her.

6) And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.

7) And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.

8) Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;

9) Then shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother’s house.

10) And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.

 

==================================

 

The Quran, verse 33:5,

 

Verse 33: 5

QARIB: name them after their fathers; that is more just with Allah…

SHAKIR: assert their relationship to their fathers; this is more equitable with Allah…

PICKTHAL: proclaim their real parentage. That will be more equitable in the sight of Allah…

YUSUFALI: call them by (the names of) their fathers: that is juster in the sight of Allah…

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?

If you’ve ever been served with a phony order from an ex, you’ll know how hard it is to know where to begin fighting a restraining order. But there are several things I want to say to those fathers who can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.

It is a lesson often forgot, and it is: You need to be fighting a restraining order for yourself AND your kids.

You think that sounds obvious? I’m always surprised at the number of guys who think they’re only dealing with a phony order for their children’s sake. They forget some of the other elements that should be the driving force behind their crusade.

First of all: in most states, the order becomes part of your criminal history. When someone does a background check on you, it’s flagged up as part of the results. The implications don’t seem too bad, until you remember the following points.

… It Can Cost You Your Job

Basically, if you attend any interviews whilst fighting a restraining order, any background checks will reveal this black mark on your record – and they won’t know the details of why it’s a phony allegation. It’s highly likely that employers will be put off by finding this against your name, and there is the very real possibility that you won’t get offered positions you’d have otherwise been hired for.

… It Affects Future Travel

The order is also flagged as a warning to customs officials. Imagine having to explain and defend yourself yet again on a business trip. I know from personal experience that I got searched much more often at airports during the three years I was under a restraining order – I fly every couple of weeks, and when the order was removed from my record, those extra checks stopped immediately.

Think about the amount of time and frustration you may have to go through when extra baggage checks are needed, and searches of your person are conducted – all because of that phony restraining order.

… Your Second Amendment Rights Are Withdrawn

One of the restrictions of an order filing is that your firearms (and/or access to any) is withdrawn when the filing is served to you. This will therefore alert the checker whenever you get a firearms license check in future, to stop you obtaining a new weapon during the period it is effective in.

… Many Mistakes Happen

There have been many cases where an expiration date hasn’t been entered into the restraining order log, or isn’t removed with all agencies, and even if you win a custody battle you may still have the task of fighting a restraining order record. You need to get it rescinded as soon as possible.

Conclusions

There are more implications than you realise at first when your ex files an order against you. Just remember that you need to be fighting a restraining order not just for your kids as part of a custody battle.

A baby monitor is an electronic device that allows you to hear your baby crying even if you are in another part of your house.

A baby monitor comes in two pieces. The transmitter, which is placed in the nursery and the receiver that is placed in whatever room you are in.

Standard baby monitors can transmit up to six hundred feet but there are some deluxe models that can transmit up to three thousand feet.

A baby monitor receiver runs on batteries (so that it can be portable and you can carry it around the house with you), while the transmitter is plugged into an outlet. Most will have back-up batteries in case of power failure.

When you are shopping for a baby monitor, it is important to test it before you buy. Most retailers understand your needs and will have no objections. You are looking for a clear sound. If you hear static, then move on to another brand. Remember you get what you pay for. It is better to spend a little more now and have the assurance that your baby’s needs won’t go unattended because you didn’t hear him or her.

As you would expect, some baby monitors are very basic whereas others have all of the possible ‘bells and whistles’. Some of the features you may wish to consider when buying a monitor are as follows:

An indicator light on the receiver that will alert you when the batteries are low and need to be changed. You don’t want to think that all is quiet in baby’s room only to find that in fact your batteries have run out.

Another light display on some monitors will allow you to see if your baby is crying without turning up the volume. There is a set of lights on the receiver. The louder your baby cries, the more lights are lit up.

If you have a large home or enjoy working in your garden, it is possible to buy multiple receivers for different areas of your home.

For those who want to monitor the baby even more closely, there are some baby monitors that have motion detectors, and even video so you can see what your baby is doing.

There are a few disadvantages to having a baby monitor. It is sometimes possible to hear conversations of nearby neighbors if they are using a cell or cordless phone. This has been a concern since the inception of cordless phones and can create a problem if you have a cordless phone in your own home also. Baby monitor companies have recognized this problem however and have developed monitors that have multiple channels. With these, all you have to do is change the channel and the problem is eliminated.

The peace of mind a parent gains from knowing that baby is sleeping happily is immeasurable. A carefully chosen baby monitor helps to give you that peace of mind wherever you are in your house.

When it comes to the topic of father, different people will show variety opinions on father. Some of us hold that father acts as a strict role in one’s family. Sometimes they will be afraid of their fathers who stand for a kind of dignity. Therefore most of time children will prefer to community with their mom than their father.
Maybe some will think that their father don’t love them.
Actually, father love you very much. They are weak in expressing themselves. Have you ever heard the sound “Father”, and one of the lyrics sings that father is a cattle who always pull ox-cart. Father every day knows to work for the family. And they show their love through their action.
Do you remember who is always rode as a house by you when you are a child; who let you stand up by yourself when you fall over; who teach you how to do a true man when you are grow up; who teach you how to community with others when you go out; who will wait for the telephone everyday and when it ring he will leave aside and listen you and your mom’s chatting. It’s our father. A man is common for others, but a greatest dad in our heart.
I remember that there is a film shows a father and his daughter. The father loves his daughter so much that he doesn’t want his daughter goes to the college which has a long way from their home. So he comes up with all kinds of methods to prevent her. Even he can hide under the bed to protect his daughter though it is a misunderstanding. May be the action of her father is a bit much, but we all can feel that the deep love between them.
There is a different between father’s love and mother’s love. And I hope you can treasure your father’s love not only your mother’s love. If you neglect it, you will regret. You can share something with your father and try to chat with him. If so, father also will feel very happy.

Being the proud daddy to 7 kids with 39 more in the queue (don’t tell my wife I said that, she doesn’t know yet), parenting is a passion of mine to say the least. I think my wife might have said some of these things. I won’t cop to it, so don’t ask if I’m guilty. I’m sure these are her quotes…

Mind you, we’ve been married since high school, so some of this is funny and some of this is “too-bad-it’s-true” – we have made every parental mistake in the Book of Parental Mistakes. No matter what you read here, know it’s coming from someone in the trenches doing the every day difficult thing of parenting.

This “Top Ten” is a bit of an homage to David Letterman, with #1 being the top thing you do not want to say to your kids.

Top Ten List of Things Dads Say To Their Kids…But Shouldn’t

10) Do you want cake for breakfast? I’m pretty sure Bill Cosby said it has all the food groups – milk, eggs, grain… and icing.

9) Quick! Put away the Wii, mommy’s home!

8) This is between me and you, but mommy’s crazy.

7) Can I borrow a couple of bucks? I’m out of (insert vice here).

6) Don’t let your mother catch you doing that!

5) Do you have enough allowance saved up to bail me out? I’m in the County Jail.

4)…Yes, the same jail as last time.

3) Alright, kids, now that mommy’s gone – no more chores! We’ll clean up before she comes back from the retreat.

2) What? Mommy’s home early from the retreat?! I told you to keep the house clean! You’re in trouble, now!

And the #1 thing dads say to their kids…but shouldn’t, is:

1) Leave me alone, daddy’s working.

Alright, if you didn’t catch it, #1 really is the only serious item on the list. Sure, there’s a bit of truth in each item – well, mostly – but telling our kids we’re too busy to spend a few minutes or seconds with them a day isn’t funny.

What this does is send a clear message that, “You aren’t as important as this fiat-money I’m working for, and I don’t care how much it depreciates.” OK, really, you get the drift. If you’re a dad reading this list, do yourself and your kids a favor: spend time with them. Don’t make them play second fiddle to anything (within reason).

I say all of that because it’s easy to let time and opportunity slip away. Before you know it, one day bleeds into a week… bleeds into a month… a year… a missed graduation because of overtime… a missed homecoming or first day at college. Time flies when you’re making money, and then what?

Then you may be facing some alone time in a retirement home, wondering why nobody visits. Really, payback can’t be pretty. Do something each day, at least each week, to let those kids know you care about them. Forget the economy for a minute and think of your children for a second. Love ‘em like there’s no tomorrow. One day there won’t be.

Yes, this article candidly reflects a lot of his own struggles as a dad. His second of many websites is Themes For Baby Shower, where you’ll find free info on things like a Noah’s Ark baby shower and “gifts for baby shower.” To preserve his street cred as a man and nothing less – despite the girls-only theme to the site! – he’s writing this article wearing nothing but boxers.

OK. Not really.
