Apologies if this isn't the right place for this- not my normal board.
I'm wondering why the golden rule is so culturally ubiquitous when it's actually deeply flawed.
>people want to be treated in different ways
>people want to be treated over and above a reasonable level, which could not be possible for all people (eg I might want people to give me free food)
Any known cultural alternatives for a fundamental rule of behaviour? Any personal suggestions?

>Hadith quote
what did they meant by that? isn't there any rule like that in the Quran?
>>2799304
Treat Jews the way they treated Mohammad.
>>2799304
Yeah it's funny how so much of what the layman hears attributed to the Qu'ran is from a hadith
>70 virgins in heaven
>>2799324
Hadiths are the quotes of Muhammad though, right? Why are they any less canonical?
>>2799414
because Sunnis and Shi'ites disagree over the narrators, transcribers, and compilers of those quotes
>>2799272
The Silver Rule is superior
>do not do to others anything you would find hateful, were it to be done to you
>>2799414
Mohemmed was just a man, the Koran is not his sayings but the word of God.
>>2799425
No, it's because Mohemmed himself commanded people NOT to record his own sayings, since he is just a man and compiling his sayings and putting them alongside the Koran is blasphemy.
>>2799443
>Mohemmed
Muhammad*
Mohemmed was the first name of the Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1956. Muhammad is the first name of the Islamic prophet. Don't get the spellings mixed up.
>>2799414
>Hadith
Accounts over shit that Muhammad said.
>Quran
The words of God Almighty Himself.
The thing is, haven't Allah delivered the Golden Rule in his own and infallible book?
>>2799466
it's the other way around actually.

>>2799462
you know that in Arabic there is a variety of ways to spell names in roman letters, right?

Go fuck yourself faggot, if I want to refer to him as Mohemmed (piss be upon him) then I will.
Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may be different.
