Tarruuf - Brothers Special

Image
Assalamoalaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatahu all, Today we would like to talk about one of the taboos and much-hyped issue which is "Tarruuf" and how to do it. Note: The next excerpt is just my imagination of a tarruf, it's not taken from any article or asked from ulema. So if I miss something or say something wrong, please help me correct my mistakes. Alhamdulillah, this has been a habit of mine since I was in class 10th,I used to imagine how my precious Muslimah Wife would be like, every day I slept with thinking about Shadi and How beautiful Allah SWT has made the whole system that, even if someone looks at his wife with love, he gets a reward from Allah SWT, just as once get sins on looking at ghair Mehram. So over the years, I have prepared a series of simple questions which I think are very important to know about each other (please feel free to add, if you brothers and sisters also have a list, might help someone    ) Phew, so here it is Alhamdulillah I

Umm Salama - Mother Of Believers

Image
Umm Salama Hind bint Abi Umayya, may Allah be pleased with her, was married to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in 4 AH at the age of twenty nine, after her first husband, Abdullah ibn Abdul Asad, had died from the wounds he had received while fighting at the battle of Uhud. Umm Salama and her first husband Abdullah ibn Abdul Asad had been among the first people to embrace Islam in the early days of the Muslim community in Mecca. They suffered at the hands of the Quraish who tried to force them to abandon their new faith, and had been among the first group of Muslims to seek refuge under the protection of the Negus in Abyssinia. When they returned to Mecca, believing that the situation of the Muslims had improved, they found instead that if anything it was worse. Rather than return to Abyssinia, Abdal Asad and Umm Salama received the Prophet's permission to immigrate to Medina, but this proved not to be as easy as they might have imagined. In the words of

Sanctity of nikah

Assalamoalaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatahu Marriage is an institution in itself. The idea of family that humans have accepted and adopted since times immemo­rial is directly the product of this institution of marriage. It provides humans with an organized way of running life and also con­structs social dealings and behaviours in many ways. Islam bestows mankind with the concept of Nikah and there are different schools of thought in Muslims who hold their views regarding marriage and its rel­evance in the current times. They all have their own perspectives in identifying its importance and the solutions which can help in solving the modern riddle of social dynamics in which marriage plays an es­sential role. Islam is the only religion in which marriage is done as a contract which becomes binding on both the sexes until they decide to break it given the situation and circumstances. The essence of marriage is to provide with and maintain individual as well as social tranquillity an

Is delaying marriage justified to pursue studies?

Should Nikah be a temporary solution? Assalamoalaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatahu I find the answer to this question rather difficult . If I was in your shoes I would face the same dilemma, I would have liked to have both my cake and eat it as well. I would be keen to get my daughter married as soon as a nice appropriate rishta came but at the same time I would like to her to complete her study without any impediment. Basically in Islam one should get married as soon as it is possible to do so. Hazrat Ali said that a Muslim shouldn't delay in performing three things  i) Namaz ( Salat) when the time begins  ii) in getting married the girl when she reaches adolescence  iii) In funeral when Janaza is ready. However in this day and age there are other practical considerations of great importance and generally marriage does interfere in study where lot of sweating and hard work is required.              And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep

Excerpts From Muslimah's Diary

1. "Ye baat dekhne me ati he ki aksar shadi shuda behen ya bhai jo jald hi nikah ke rishtey me bandhne wale hotey hen wo dusre ke maazi me kuch zyada hi dakhl dene lagt hen ya dilchaspi rakhtey hue logo ki kahi suni baato par yaqeen kartey hue uski taraf se bahut si galatfehmiya dil me betha lete hen jiska nateeja jhagdo, beyaqini ya zehni dabaw me samne aata he. Main ik chhoti si misaal se iski mazeed wazahat karna chahungi, maan len aapne kisi se phal ka bagh kharidkar qeem at ada kardi , ab wo kehne lage ki is bagh me jo phal ped ki shaakho pr moujud hai unpar mera haq he, kya aap uski baat manenge ?? ...Harghiz nhi aap kahenge ki ji maine qeemat ada kardi ab is bagh ke ped, phal zameen tamam cheezo par mera haq he..... theek usi tarah jab aapne kisi ko apne liye qubool karliya he to uske maazi, haal aur mustaqbil par beshaq aapka haq he lekin jis tarah aap apne maazi ko nazarandaz ya usse seekhtey hue aghe baadh jana chahtey hen theek usi tarah apne hamsafa

Marriage in Islam

Image
In Islam, marriage is a blessed contract between a man and a woman, in which each becomes “permitted” to the other, and they begin the long journey of life in a spirit of love, cooperation, harmony and tolerance, where each feels at ease with the other, and finds tranquility, contentment and comfort in the company of the other. The Quran has described this relationship between men and women, which brings love, harmony, trust and compassion, in the most moving and eloquent terms: " And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your [hearts]." [Ar-Rum 30:21]   This is the strongest of bonds , in which Allah ta'ala unites the two Muslim partners, who come together on the basis of love, understanding, co-operation and mutual advice, and establish a Muslim family in which children will live and grow up, and they will develop the good character

PART TWO A little flashback before we come to the part you are waiting for ☺ There was something very peculiar about Usman, He was not very fond of sharing his problems with others, always tried hard to keep his emotions in check, Didn't wanted to be exposed, Hated being vulnerable, was a very private person. Ali meant a lot for Usman too, he was a brother, his family was a second family to him and his wish... he considered it as his duty to fulfill. While this all was going on, in starting 90's Usman father was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, His venture on the Business was on the verge of crumbling, his brothers were going through their teen "experiences" and complaints from people were common , be it a Mohalla fight or cricket matches,His teen brothers were there without absent, and that all complaints came to him. Usman thought He could handle all of this, He chooses not to open himself up, He chooses not to be vulnerable, He had experienced and saw people mis
