Al- Salam Alekum
Long time no see guys. I have tried to post a few times on different topics but due to my tight schedule, I couldn't.
My question today to you is: Do you own your body?
According to the Islamic view, the body, like the soul, is a "gift" from God; therefore, a human being does not possess absolute ownership of his or her body. But, the ownership of human beings on their bodies can be described as a kind of "stewardship". Accordingly, any kind of dissection or mutilation of the corpse is forbidden, even with the informed consent of the dead or his/her relatives. The exception of this principle is when such procedures are necessary for saving the lives of other persons.
Okay, that was only my religious perspective on this topic. If we think logically and according to rules for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction. Aren't our actions on daily basis affect our lives and those around us significantly. Every individual is a part of a family. Family is a part of some social communities like a (town, city getting bigger to a country) based on size. From this point to affecting all around the World. So your action can affect the entire world.
Very small example, A smile or a positive action can bring happiness to everyone around you. One day on your way to work a guy stares at you and you give him a short smile. This action can be very contagious and spread from you to that guy and from him to others. This will go as a series.
Let us not get lost here. Only a smile had a significant effect on that level how does a big change to your body not affect others? Again, Do we have all rights to our bodies? Do you own your body?
I hope you get my point here...
Thanks
