Quran 17:44
تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًۭا
“The seven heavens, the earth, and all those in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing that does not glorify His praises—but you cannot comprehend their glorification. He is indeed Most Forbearing, All-Forgiving.”

I am sorry that people reacted so poorly to this. I thought it was beautiful. It is still bothering me, after seeing the reports made on this.

it’s the internet, and this is a post about blackholes and a bird being recorded. This is a tad bit out of place for what it is, not surprised people downvoted it, probably because they thought it was irrelevant, oh well, that’s the internet, sometimes people like what you have to say, other times they don’t. Don’t think about it too hard, at the end of the day it’s just internet karma.

Quran 4:24
حُرِّمَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اُمَّهٰتُكُمۡ وَبَنٰتُكُمۡ وَاَخَوٰتُكُمۡ وَعَمّٰتُكُمۡ وَخٰلٰتُكُمۡ وَبَنٰتُ الۡاٰخِ وَبَنٰتُ الۡاُخۡتِ وَاُمَّهٰتُكُمُ الّٰتِىۡۤ اَرۡضَعۡنَكُمۡ وَاَخَوٰتُكُمۡ مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَ اُمَّهٰتُ نِسَآئِكُمۡ وَرَبَآـئِبُكُمُ الّٰتِىۡ فِىۡ حُجُوۡرِكُمۡ مِّنۡ نِّسَآئِكُمُ الّٰتِىۡ دَخَلۡتُمۡ بِهِنَّ فَاِنۡ لَّمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا دَخَلۡتُمۡ بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَحَلَاۤـئِلُ اَبۡنَآئِكُمُ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ اَصۡلَابِكُمۡۙ وَاَنۡ تَجۡمَعُوۡا بَيۡنَ الۡاُخۡتَيۡنِ اِلَّا مَا قَدۡ سَلَفَؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوۡرًا رَّحِيۡمًا ۙ
“Also ˹forbidden are˺ married women—except ˹female˺ captives in your possession. This is Allah’s commandment to you. Lawful to you are all beyond these—as long as you seek them with your wealth in a legal marriage, not in fornication. Give those you have consummated marriage with their due dowries. It is permissible to be mutually gracious regarding the set dowry. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”
Summary: rape is fine so long as you enslave the victim first.
…I liked my Lord of the Rings quote better, but that was removed. I guess off-topic fiction is only allowed if it’s religious. Allahu akbar.

Alternate reading: stop running about and breaking the hearts of the unmarried freewomen, if you’re shagging her, do it properly and above board.
Medieval era was, alas, pretty poor on women’s rights and slavery was taken for granted. I don’t think you’ll find any slavery where rape was in practice forbidden.

That verse is used to justify rape. Not just rape, but entire slave trade networks that revolve around rape. (and that’s in today’s world, not some ugly footnote in distant history)
That you personally interpret it differently is moot: people’s actual lives are destroyed over a fairy tale, and that shit is absolutely evil.
Yeah no shit, that’s because slavery, and the people who engage in slavery are and always have been abhorrent, as are systems that enable slavery regardless of religious vs secular context.

OK, because the way you replied with that off-topic Quran verse to a Quran verse related to the topic of the post made my think that your point was railing on Islam.
Not that “slavery is bad”, which I also didn’t think needed to be replied somewhat arcanely to posts.
Do we need to write a “slavery is bad” reply to any time vikings or Christianity come up in the comments?

That a sexual relationship is permissable as opposed to being prohibited, like adultery or fornication, does not equate to rape. Neither is adultery rape if both parties consent, yet it is prohibited under islamic and other abrahamic religions.
Those are necessary requirements not sufficient requirements. You know, like how a driving licencse is a necesaary requirement for driving, but it does not allow you to drive if your car has no lights and you are under the influence, as these are also necessary requirements.

And genetics were used to justify genocide and eugenics. By your logic are genetics absolutely evil?
The constitution of the US is interpreted by some in a way to justify the most horrific crimes against mankind. Is the constitution absolutely evil? Many philosophers works were used by Fascists to justify their empires. Are those philosophers absolutely evil?
As for the designation as “fairy tale”. I would expect people that see themselves as scientists or following scientific principles to have their curiosity sparked if a 1400 years old book made statements that link to todays scientific discoveries, rather than immediately making a point of rejecting it in an aggressive way.
