Quote:Allah told Mohammed, it is OK to not fulfil the oaths you make.
i.e. If you find something better, you are free to go, and make a better deal, and abandon your first oath.
"Allah indeed has sanctioned for you the expiation of your oaths and Allah is your Protector, and He is the Knowing the Wise."
Koran 66:2
Context Yadda context.
Muhammad (pbuh), like many Arabs of his time, vowed not to sleep with his wives, when they upset him. And so God gave him permission to absolve himself from the vow, since it was for something that is permissible anyway. Nowhere does it state you are free to just break any oath you like (as you deceptively tried to infer).And for the record, Jews have
entire books in their sacred literature for dealing with how to expiate for broken oaths, nothing unusual about it. People do sometimes break their oath. It's not right, but what is the course of action to take if one did?
Yes Abu, in permitting Mohammed the luxury of not sleeping with his wives, and the breaking and expiation of his oaths it would have been so much clearer, to everyone, if Allah had made that distinction [
"concerning your oaths relating to sleeping with your wives, Allah indeed has sanctioned for you..."].
But Allah didn't make that distinction.
Allah said;
"Allah indeed has sanctioned for you the expiation of your oaths and Allah is your Protector..."e.g.
In recent years the 'Palestinians' have entered into truces with Israel.
But 'Palestinians' have seemingly, then, continued to attack Israel, and 'Palestinians' have
never kept one of their 'Hudna' [ceasefire] agreements with the Israelis.
And why ???
Because when a good moslem makes a verbal agreement [an oath] with an 'unbeliever', that agreement isn't worth the paper it is written on.
i.e.
A moslem
MAY honour his agreement with an 'unbeliever' [
if honouring his agreement is in the interests of the moslem].
But a good moslem
is not obligated to honour any agreement he makes with an 'unbeliever'.
And
THAT, is the 'get out' for all good moslems, in all dealings and agreements with 'unbelievers'.
And why ???
Because moslems, dealings and agreements and truces with 'unbelievers', are following the example of ISLAM's perfect man, Mohammed.
'HUDNA' IS THE ARABIC WORD FOR TRUCE...Google;

Treaty of Hudaybiya
Google;
when it is in their interests to do so muslims will seek a truce hudna with a stronger enemy
Google;
muslims are free to break a truce with an enemy as soon as they feel strong enough to resume hostilities
MOSLEM 'LOGIC' CONCERNING THE NEVER-ENDING WARS AND CONFLICTS WITH UNBELIEVERS...Google;
resisting islam causes war, so infidels are responsible for war with muslims
Quote:.
Does christianity have a solution for that case? Probably not, since like many other things, it pretends it never occurs, since it's followers are so perfect and infallible... now back to reality.
Yadda you're an idiot, that's all I can say. You warrant little more than that.
You are an apostle of lies and falsehood.
Christianity, Jesus, said;
Matthew 5:33
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you,
Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
