Questions/Comments on the Quran / 5:101
July 31, 2014, 06:21:38 AM
5:101 O you who believe, do not ask about things which, if revealed to you, would harm you; and if you ask about them after the Qur'an has been sent down, then they will become clear to you. God pardons for them, and God is Forgiving, Compassionate.
5:102    A people before you had asked the same, then they became rejecters in it.

There was another thread dealing with the same a while back but I didn't find an explanation that satisfies. It's commonly used to shut down questioning in regards to religious matters. Wondering if anyone has analysed the verses before and what they think it's talking about or a link to where it's been discussed well. Will the questions become clear or the reasoning behind why we aren't supposed to ask them? Also, what is meant by "became rejecters in it"?

Any insights/help appreciated. Thanks.

This is a temporary thread for adding links to different views about highly debated common topics. It will eventually be stickied in different categories with the links which fall under that category. 

Please give headers and add the links to different topics discussed on threads. If unsure how to post, a salat example here.

If anyone has seen Eps 3 of Black Mirror...this may be the start of life that is going to be quite different (or skewed from some perceptions). On another note, I've actually been to that McDonald's. Worst place ever. The food was useless too.
