The Qur'an on The Status of Women and Children

[beso]

Which verses of the Qur'an refer to the relative status of men, women and children?

[keyplus90]

There are so many. Depends what you really are looking for. Just buy a copy of Quran with Index at the end and search the words.

Big question Beso. In what respect? I'm going away, and I'm not sure how good my internet connection will be - but I'll try to keep track of your thread.

Yup, headstrong besoms need not apply.

Depends what sort of information you are after and what is the objective or need of information. Depending on that you can either do what I suggested in my first post and gain first hand knowledge, otherwise just listen to birdie and that may satisfy you better.

I think that both Keyplus and Naomi are right (and I don't suppose anyone says that very often!) in that the question needs clarification. Whether the Quran, Bible or complete works of Shakespeare, quotes are easily taken out of context to prove points erroneously. But it's an interesting question, and I hope it doesn't degenerate into ill-informed mud-slinging.

For once I will agree with birdie too. Please get a copy o Quran translated in English with commentary. There are websites offering free copies. In today's modern time you can even download it free in book form or digital. Take my words (and of birdie) and you would not disappointed.

Harmony and concord. A new spirit of tolerance and mutual respect orchestrated by Kiki. Naomi and Birdie beating their swords into ploughshares. A suspension of mud-slinging. An awful crossword in today's Times. It's ruined my weekend.

Birdie, //Why would someone need an English copy of the Koran, “... with commentary...”? //

So you won't believe what's really written there, of course!

Is that better VE? :o)

I'm beginning to perk up.
