10 Tough Questions About Islam That Are Hard to Answer, Complete with Explanations from the Quran and Hadith
As a religion guided by the Quran and hadith, Islam has rational answers for many critical questions about its teachings. Here’s a rundown of some tough questions and their explanations.
Why does Islam forbid pork? This prohibition is based on QS. Al-Baqarah: 173 and health wisdom, because pigs can be hosts for parasites and diseases. About hijab, QS. An-Nur: 31 explains the obligation to cover the awrah to maintain honor and identity as a Muslim woman, not as a form of restriction. Polygamy is allowed under strict conditions of fairness, according to QS. An-Nisa: 3, as a solution for certain circumstances.
The purpose of human life is to worship Allah (QS. Az-Zariyat: 56), which includes all good activities. Hudud punishments like hand amputation (QS. Al-Ma’idah: 38) aim to maintain security with strict proof requirements. Islam encourages knowledge (QS. Al-Mujadalah: 11) and forbids usury (QS. Al-Baqarah: 275) because of its injustice. Destiny is understood with effort and trust in God, according to a hadith narrated by Muslim.
Islam teaches tolerance towards non-Muslims as long as they don’t fight against you (QS. Al-Mumtahanah: 8). About not being able to see Allah in this world, QS. Al-A’raf: 143 explains human limitations, and later in paradise believers will be able to see Him.
