Questions List (Week: 5th April 2021 To 12th April 2021)
Question 4: Carried Forward And you cannot intend [to remain on the right path] unless the Almighty intends so [according to His laws].22 (26-29) Surah Takwir. I have been watching mizan al hikmah lectures and I think episode 14/15 talks about how you cannot be guided unless God wills it. Is this ayah about not even being able to want to be guided unless God wills it or remaining on the path of guidance under God’s will. Because I remember in the lecture it being mentioned that it’s the former but the translation of Ghamidi sahab has these brackets. If it is the former, then how does the first guidance take place- is it just based on God’s knowledge or the persons righteous actions? Original Thread: Discussion 39197
Question 15: Carried Forward As a doctor in Canada, I have to address a person with the pronoun (e.g., he, him, her, hers, etc.) of their choosing regardless of the sex they were assigned at birth. Additionally, I have to refer patients seeking euthanasia to specialists who can aid them in undergoing this process. For individuals belonging to the trans community, doctors are also obliged to direct them on how to access the necessary resources for operations and medications for sex change. What guidance does Islam give me on this? Original Thread: Discussion 45875
I think a short response from Ghamidi Sahab will help sort this confusion: Discussion 47452
I will include in the next list. Thanks
