pardon me for my ignorance..but everyone starts somewhere..and this could be in my other blog. but let's just have it here.

was talking to a male non-muslim colig..coz he was wearing a nice gold ring. and i told him i wont get my FH a gold one coz muslim men cant wear gold so i told him probably i will get him something else like a platinum one..but to that he said he thought the reason muslim men cant wear gold is because it is a symbol of wealth and by donning themselves with gold encourages arrogance and show-offishness..however then he said platinum is at least twice more expensive than gold. so isnt that evidence of showing off?

it seems to be true the reason why gold is forbidden for muslim men. i was honestly ignorant of the reason till now..and i was stumped and embarrassed for a while. one of the reasons i can think of for the platinum is it looks like silver or any other metal..so whatever ring i will get him..hahaha i will get one that look like aluminum ke...steel ke..nobody shall know exactly wat metal it is. you wont know even if i got it from perlini's.

anyway, an interesting discussion. go see.
