This is an excerpt from a conversation with one particular Muslim sister, but it could be a conversation with any of the numerous Muslim sisters who think along similar lines.

　　We need a moment of truthfulness, not with ourselves, but with Allah The Almighty, Who is the Provider, Creator, The One Who created us and perfected our form, Who knows all our apparent and concealed affairs and is acquainted with what we hide and what we declare.

　　Recall this reality my Muslim sister while answering these questions and avoid being consumed by curiosity or hastiness while reading through the questions; rather, answer them one by one, and make sure that you do not go on to the next question until the previous one has been answered:

　　· Who has the right to legislate and command?

　　Allah The Almighty, as He Says (what means): {Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command} [Quran 7:54]

　　· Do you think that I have the choice to refuse or accept the commands of Allah The Exalted?

　　This matter is not based on choice. Who am I to choose? I am only one of His creatures, who lives in His Sovereignty and enjoys His Blessings.

　　· Do you not know that Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of punishment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.}[Quran 2:85]

　　· {It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.}[Quran 33:36]
