Yetty
Thanks for your input, but you may want to consider opening another thread "are men superior to women?"
To answer that - Yes they are, and all those Quranic quotes support my answer.



sorry to barge into your thread but thanks for clarifying that islam supports objectifying women,gender in equality e.t.c

Salam alykm,

I dont think a man needs a reason to practice polygamy. He is allowed to and can.I only wish there are laws to compel men to do the right things especially justice among their wives in terms of everything. If they'd been doing it the right way we wont be scared of it.Normally, they should be more scared than we are-of the great responsibility polygamy puts on em,

Re: Sisters Discuss Issues And Questions Here Relating To Feminity And Islam. by iwaboy: 9:31pm On Mar 21, 2010
My sister, whoever has said that needs to provide evidence for it. The Standing Committee was asked:
What is the ruling on a woman removing hair from her body; if it is permissible, then who is allowed to do that for her? They answered:
It is permissible for her (to remove) everything except her eyebrows and the hair on her head; it is not permissible for her to remove those, or to remove anything from the eyebrows whether by shaving or any other means. She, her husband or one of her mahrams may do that for her, with regard to the parts of the body that they are permitted to see; or another woman may do that, with regard to the parts of the body that she is permitted to see. This is by

Throughout history religion has been abused and misunderstood. Some people use it as a means of exploitation and suppression, as a pretext for prejudice and persecution. Some other people use it as a source of power and domination over the elite and the
masses alike. In the name of religion unjustifiable wars have been launched, freedom of thought and conscience has been oppressed, science has been persecuted, the right of the individual to maturity has been denied, and man’ s dignity and honour have been
flagrantly debased. And in the name of religion an injustice has been inflicted upon humanity with the result that religion itself has suffered many losses. These are historical facts which no one can deny. But is this the proper function of religion or the right approach to religion?
Could this be the purpose of religion? The indisputable answer is an emphatic no. There are many religions in the world, and
each one claims to be the one and only true religion. Each religion is supposed to have come from God for the right guidance of man. But these claims contradict each other and have caused dissensions among people and vehement reactions to religion – instead of welding mankind into one universal brotherhood under the One Universal Benevolent God. This situation makes any neutral observer confused and perhaps averse to all kinds of religion.
But, come to think of it, could it be possible that Islam, whose light ended the Dark Ages in Europe, now propound the advent of an age of terror? Could a faith that has over 1.2 billion followers the word over, and 7 million in America, actually advocate the killing and maiming of innocent people? Could Islam, whose name itself stands for “peace” and “submission to Allah”, encourage its adherents to work for death and destruction?
For too long, we have relied on images in the popular media for answers to these pertinent questions. It is important we look at the sources of Islam.
Islam considers all life forms as sacred. However, the sanctity of human life is accorded a special place. The first and foremost basic right of a human being is the right to live. The Qur’an says: “…if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or(and) to spread mischief in the land- it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone save a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.”[Qur’an Chapter 5 verse 32]
Such is the value of a single human life, that the Qur’an equates the taking of a single human life unjustly, with killing of all humanity. Thus, the Qur’an prohibits homicide in clear terms. The taking of a criminal’s life by the state in order to administer justice is required to uphold the rule of law, and the peace and security of the society. Only a proper and competent court can decide whether an individual has forfeited his right to life by his disregard of the right to life and peace of other human beings.
So, get it clear, religion (Islam) does not enslave but liberates people. If any Muslim is reported to have destroy a person’s life, it is either a baseless propaganda against Islam or the Muslim in question does not understand the teachings of Islam.

Asalam alaykum,

What's the ruling on celebrating anniversaries, like wedding anniversary. Note: I don't mean celebrating in the sense of throwing a large party and stuff. Just an in-house thing with your hubby or you two going out to have a nice time together. is this permissible?

If the husband and his wife want do something(acceptable in the Sharia) to make each other happy, it should be done at any other time or on any appropriate occasion or when there is a reason for doing so. They should not wait for the anniversary of their wedding to make each other happy or exchange gift, because that implies that they are taking this day as an “Eid” (an occasion that is celebrated regularly), and there are no annual Eids for the Muslims except Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. These occasions – wedding anniversaries – came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions, and the salaf (early generations) of this ummah and its imams, but there is no report that they used to do any celebration with their wives or anybody on these days. And all goodness is to be found in following them.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: is it permissible for the husband to give a gift to his wife on their wedding anniversary each year, as a renewal of the love between them, noting that this anniversary will be marked only by the giving of this gift and that the couple are not going to celebrate this occasion?

He said:

What I think is that this should not be done, because this year it may be just a gift, but next year it may become a celebration. Moreover, marking this occasion with a gift is regarded as making it an ‘Eid’, because the Eid is that which is repeated. Love does not need to be renewed every year, rather it should be renewed all the time, every time the woman sees something of her husband that makes her happy, and every time the man sees something of his wife that makes him happy, then the love between them will be renewed.
Allaah knows best.

With all due respect to bro iwaboy and maximum respect and honour to Shaikh Uthaiymeen Rahimullah. I do disagree with the opinion above.

The 2 Religious Eid in islam are religious celeberation commemorating the finish of 2 pillars in islam. The end of ramadhan is Eid al fitr and the end of hajj is eid al adha. However there are several occassions when muslim could celeberate anything they wish in accordance to the shariah of Allah. A walimatu al Naikkah is a celeberation, Graduating from an instititution be it islamic university or secular knowldge and the graduant invites people to eat and spread love amongst muslims is a celeberation. A brother got promotion at work and wants to show appreciation to Allah invites masakin to his home and feeds them in a feast is a celeberation and so on . . ,

The prophet PBUH used to fast on mondays as a mark and his way of celeberating his birthday
The prophet PBUH asked us to fast on ashura to commemorate the saving of musa and bani israil.

A husband gives a gift to his wife on their wedding annivasery and goes out on dinner with her to spread love and remember the favours of Allah upon them is a way of acknowledging the mercy of Allah upon them on that day.

Perhaps we should establish that acknowledgment of an event could be or not be celeberation but different people acknowledge events in different way. In as much as no haraam is committed in acnowledging or celebrating then there is no problem with the act.

We should never forget that in muamaulat everything is halaal until a verse or hadith proves it haraam and not the other way round. As far as i know there is no single hadith or verse that could be interpolated to say acknowledging the day of marriage is haraam or even makru. Love should be spread all the time I accept but nothing wrong in increasing the love on this day.

And God knows best.

I have a question, how do someone plead to ALLAH after committing Zina? A friend told me that Nikkah is not blessed if Zina has been commited before marriage, Is that true? How can you rectify this? Even though this was with the guy you are getting married too.

Being a muslim woman who does wear that long dress, etc, allow me to explain.
We cover simply because God commanded us to do so. We hope that by obeying His commandments, we can be among those with whom He is Pleased. We understand that we were put on this earth to worship God and Him alone; as He is the Creator, His Will should be obeyed. He knows the past, the present and the future, He knows human nature better than we do and He lays down the rules and regulations for the most peaceful life possible. It is only by obeying God that the human soul finds peace and tranquillity.

Thus as God knows us best and ought to be obeyed, why should we not obey His legislation that we cover ourselves in the presence of unrelated men? Worship is giving up putting your trust in God that His Word is the truth and by submitting to His Word even at times when it may be contrary to our wishes, we demonstrate our submission to God's Will.

While the primary reason for covering is to gain God's Pleasure, there are wisdoms attached to the legislation;
---> men also should not expose certain parts of themselves and they shouldn't stare at women. This reduces the whole sexual tension between people who are not married to each other and aims to reduce the triggers for fornication and adultery.
---> reduction in fornication and adultery means that family lineages are preserved. Children know who their father is. The whole lost identity issue is minimised, a child knows where he/she stems from. This helps re-inforce the child's sense of belonging and self-esteem.
---> reduction in broken marriages because of either spouse going off with someone else. The family unit is very important to societal structure. Destruction of families is the major step towards the destruction of humanity in terms of nurturing individuals with a strong sense of identity, compassion, etc.
---> and many more, man, my fingers need a break from all this typing! =)
