Ooo it’s making sense now

I can’t wait to figure this out it’s so interesting

The Women (an-Nisa) covers at a glimpse:

- orphans and how to care for them and their wealth fairly
- inheritance laws in a lot of detail
- adultery and it’s punishment
- marriage and divorce laws including the matter of dowry, reconciliation between spouses
- war and fighting in more detail, also prayer as it pertains to war
- the story of Jesus (AS) according to Islam (taken up to heaven and not crucified)

3:159 - throwback to when I did a thought of the day about leadership and my name 😅

Battle of Badr - March 17 624 CE, exactly 1402 years ago!

Didn’t finish this all those years ago I’m so annoyed at myself because it’s so well written! Since I just finished a simple seerah part 1, I thought let’s just continue from that point onwards (even tho I was ahead in this apparently not that I remember). Gonna try and finish this amazing book this time !!

Eliot’s writing is hilarious. One of the funniest quotes so far:

“You’ll never persuade me that I can’t tell what men are by their outsides. If I don’t like a man’s looks, depend upon it I shall never like him. I don’t want to know people that look ugly and disagreeable any more than I want to taste dishes that look disagreeable. If they make me shudder at the first glance, I say, take them away.”
