Hi Susan,
>The verse "Let there be no compulsion in religion" does as much as well but I have >heard some Muslims argue that this verse was abrogated once the umma was formed.
Does this mean that some Muslims believe that human understanding
is more authoritative than the Qur'an? If they believe that any verse of the
Qur'an can be abrogated because of worldly circumstance, then they believe
that all verses of the Qur'an are subject to abrogation, based on human interpretation.
If they believe that, then they don't truly believe that the Qur'an is from God, do they?
Because a book that is from God cannot be abrogated by human beings.
Where is their logic?
