A pious student was once studying in Delhi and would sleep in a nearby Masjid. One night, a young woman was on her way to visit some of her relatives who resided in the area, when a riot broke out. She could not manage to escape the commotion and violence in time and quickly ran into the Masjid in fear of her life. When the student noticed her, he was alarmed and explained that the Masjid was not an appropriate place for her to hide. “People may notice us here and my honour will be tarnished. They will then evict me from the Masjid, to the detriment of my studies,” he pleaded.

She explained, “If I leave the safety of this Masjid, I fear that my honour and dignity may be blemished by the rioting mobs out in the streets.”

Her explanation silenced him as he realised the gravity of the situation. He directed her to a corner of the Masjid, where she could remain seated, and returned to continue with his studies. He was immersed in his books for the duration of the night, but occasionally he would place his finger in the flame of a lamp that he was using as a source of light. The young woman too remained awake and intently watched the young man.

Close to dawn, he said to her, “The rioters have dispersed and the streets appear to be safe. I am prepared to accompany you to ensure that you reach your home safely.”

“But,” she remarked, “I will not leave this Masjid until you explain to me why you kept placing your finger in the flame throughout the night.”

He replied, “That is a private matter and I would request you not to question me further about it.”

But the young woman would not give in. When he realised that he could not convince her otherwise, he explained, “Shaitān was continuously enticing me to fulfil my desires with you. Hence, I kept placing my finger in the flame to remind myself of the unbearable intensity of the fire of Jahannam. If I could not bear the negligible burns from a worldly flame, how would I ever bear the torment of the fire of Jahannam? I am grateful to Allāh Subhānahu wa Ta’ala that He saved me from sin throughout the night.”

The young woman left and reached her home safely. She was from a wealthy family and was soon to be married to a family relative. She immediately declined the offer to marry him and said to her parents, “My desire is to marry the student from the Masjid.”

Her parents and family tried their utmost to convince her. Others began harbouring suspicions regarding her. When she heard their remarks, she explained what had transpired on that fateful night and concluded, “The student has the fear of Allāh Subhānahu wa Ta’ala within his heart, and such a man will never harm or inconvenience others. My desire is to marry him.”

Eventually, her family consented and the nikaah was performed. The student who had lived in a Masjid now became the owner of his very own home, due to his fear of Allāh Subhānahu wa Ta’ala. [Ādābul Muta’allimīn, p23]

Allāh Subhānahu wa Ta’ala handsomely rewards a person who abstains from harām.

True story

Masha Allah... May Almighty Allah abstain us from every mean's of SINS. #AMEEN

This is why Taliban are better Muslims than those in Nigeria. In Afghanistan under the Taliban, she would not dare come out of her house without a man accompanying her like a pet.

It is also instructive to note that the man had to fight a personal jihad of partial self-immolation to combat the threat of missing out on Jannah. That will imply the promise of 72 fresh pussies was not enough and only jihad could carry him through. I congratulate him though. He can now count his own virgins to be 73 though we are not sure of the chastity of the lady but even if she's fairly used, all join after all, the prophet's first wife too was, and it was an hypergamy just like this young man's.

Finally, AntiChristian. I thought it is haram for a woman to reject a man chosen for her by her parents. What is going on here? She should be flogged or stoned for lusting after another man not so?

AntiChristian:
Holy Spirit should be ashamed of you right now.
Why the lies?

Here is a curse on you liars from your Bible. Yet you lie about!
Revelation 21:8
But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

See wetin Holy Spirit guide an immature Christian to type? Subhanallah! What nonsense! Your parent sure wasted money on you!




Anyways, it is not haram. Your thought was inspired by the lying devil which has invaded your skull.

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The virgin should not be given in marriage until her permission has been sought.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6968; Muslim, 1419.

Abu Hurairah r.a. reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

"It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the last day to make a journey of one day and night unless she is accompanied by a mahram (husband or male relative whom she is prohibited to marry)." 

[Al Bukhari and Muslim]

Ibn 'Abbas r.a. reported: The Prophet ﷺ said,

"No man must not be alone with a woman except in the presence of her mahram. No woman should travel except in the company of a mahram." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have been enrolled for such and such expedition, and my wife left for Haj." He ﷺ said to him, "Go and perform Haj with
your wife."

[Al Bukhari and Muslim

Quran 16:106 "He who disbelieves in Allah after his having believed, not he who is compelled while his heart is at rest on account of faith, but he who opens (his) breast to disbelief-- on these is the wrath of Allah, and they shall have a grievous chastisement."

How is it a lie? Prove it with quotes from your Quran.
Here is what the hadith says

At least you can quote the Bible being against lying while your Quran encourages taqiyya.
So if lying is acceptable in Islam, who are you to accuse me of lying. Lying should not be a problem to you.

At least you agree there's an holy spirit and it resides in a Christian. May I ask what sort of spirit resides in a Muslim that makes them terrorists

AntiChristian:


You are a liar as the hadith mentions "journey"!

This is the lie you wrote below.

This is why Taliban are better Muslims than those in Nigeria. In Afghanistan under the Taliban, she would not dare come out of her house without a man accompanying her like a pet. Did Jesus teach you to lie?

Where is Taqiyya mentioned in the Qur'an or hadith?

Na Holy devil wey dey make Christian tell lies!

Agboriotejoye:


It's like you have deficit in English comprehension. Am I the Taliban in Afghanistan that interpreted it to mean a woman should not come out of her house without a male to accompany her? Or is it that your eyes are jaded from slamming your head on the floor? Go and preach to the Taliban and other Arab countries who interpreted it. I'm sure they will accept the interpretation of an African.

Jesus did not teach us to lie. He said to let our yes be yes and our nay, nay. Can you confidently say that of Mohammad? Taqiyya is an Islamic concept that is well rooted in Islamic teachings. Deal with it!! If it does not exist, come out and say so.

Hehehehe. No be shaitan be the black stone wey una dey kiss every year? Or why would you go about kissing a stone and claim you worship only Allahu. Is that not idolatry?

AntiChristian:

Please keep mute. You said the Taliban are a better Muslim with their errors. Error dey your brain sef. Na me wey they respond to your error!


Show us where the word come from in Islam? Just dey lie dey go!



It is no idolatry! Go and ask the Catholic about idolatry when they pray to Mary and bow to alter of Jesus and Mother of god!
