because it is a sunnah , and this is how Muhammad (saw) has done it himself and taught us . This reason is more than enough for a muslim.
i happened to participate in a debate once , and my confrontation gave these huge list of logics and arguments , on
" kis Nabi ka darja sab se buland hai " ...( i would'nt mention their sect here) ,
anyways , he gives me all these dalaail from the books of history . references from ahadith , and references of some highly famous scholars etc etc , and in the end , asks me ...
ab aap bataiyeh ke kis nabi ka darja sab se buland hai ,
i gave him a shut-up call by responding ...
" Jiska Allah ne kaha uska buland hai ".... end of story .
the point is , we do not need to go in all these depths , as they are of no apparent use . so i would request to stop these arguements .
btw ,
@pedalpower
is it possible to really get married to a jinni ? and if it is , then does she conceive ? ive heard a lot , never got a chance to ask some one who has had first hand experience...
