A Husband's Responsibilities Towards His Family |

A Husband's Responsibilities Towards His Family
The family is that brick which forms the foundation of a society. It is composed of individuals that have permanent relations established between them. Most importantly, it possesses almost a majority of the different kinds of personal relations. Because of this, there must be certain etiquettes placed in order to control and regulate these relations. This is such that it can be maintained in the best possible manner, and so that it can generate and produce its proper fruits. Family relations consist of the relationship between the spouses from one perspective, the relationship between the parents and the children from a second perspective, and the relationship between the children themselves from a third perspective.
Etiquettes Of The Husband
1. It is not from the deficiencies, but rather from good manners, that the husband shares in the responsibility of specified matters, such as the mending of garments or what is similar to that.
2. It is appropriate for a man to not restrict himself from serving himself. This is since the wife takes care of the household affairs. So therefore, it is from good manners that the husband extend a helping hand to his wife in the house, during times of necessity, such as when she is sick, pregnant, has given birth or similar to that.
3. The exemplary husband is he who cooperates with his wife by bearing good relations and showing kind manners (to her), according to the full extent of the meaning contained in these (last) two expressions. Truly, the husbands who are best at working alongside their wives are the best of mankind in the view of Islaam. This good way of living between the spouses must be deeply imbedded into the daily marital life, even at the time of divorce.
4. Beware of characterizing the relationship between the spouses with over-seriousness! For indeed characterizing the family life with a militaristic nature amounts to one of the causes for failure and bad results.
5. From the kind and noble manners of the husband is that he complies and assents to the requests of his wife, so long as they are not forbidden in the Religion. And being luxurious in food, drink and clothing is at the entrance of matters forbidden in the Religion.
6. The husband should specify a time in which he can play around and pass free time with his wife.
7. The relationship between the spouses must contain one singular and specific nature. And it cannot be this way unless the couple begins demolishing all the obstacles and impediments that stand between them. For example, the husband should not feel timid and restrain himself from drinking out of the same cup that his wife drinks out of.
8. There is no human being that is perfect. So there is no doubt that the husband will see things in his wife that does not comply with his natural disposition and preferences. If these aspects are not in opposition to the fundaments of the Religion or to the obedience of the husband and his rights, then at that point, he should not try to change her personality so that it complies with his natural preference.
9. And he must always remember that for each member of the couple, there will be an aspect of ones personality that conflicts with the others personality. And he should also remember that if there are some characteristics that he doesn't find pleasing in his wife, then indeed she has other characteristics, which will definitely be pleasing to him.
10. Do not let Ramadaan be a barrier that impedes you from showing affection to your wife, such as by kissing her. But this is so long as you are able to refrain yourself, since what is forbidden during the days of Ramadaan is only sexual intercourse.
11. Do not chase after the errors of your wife and recount them to her, for too much blaming and reprimanding will worsen the relationship between the two of you, and it will pose a threat to your marital life. So overlook your wife's easy ability to make mistakes, and make her falling into them seem like something small.
12. If you are able, do not hold back from providing your wife with good clothing and food, and from being generous in spending money on her. This is of course according to the extent of your ability.
13. Do not give little importance to implementing the punishment required for any acts in opposition to the Religion, which your wife has committed, whether it is in the home or outside it. This should be the main reason that causes you to become angry, thus no other reason should affect you (besides this one).
14. What has been stated previously does not mean that you should leave matters alone until that result comes to happen. Thus, whenever you realize that a matter is left alone, weigh it with seriousness and determination, without being too harsh or rude about it.
15. The woman is the head of the household, the one responsible for it. So do not attempt to meddle into affairs that do not fall into your area of duties and responsibilities, such as the food and the order of the house.
16. Beware of scolding your wife or blaming her for a mistake she committed, in the presence of others, even if they are your own children. For indeed that is an act that goes against correct behavior and it will lead to raising anger in the hearts of people.
17. If you are forced to place punishment upon your wife, then let it be by staying away from her at bedtime. And do not boycott her except that it is done within the household. And avoid using foul language, insulting her, beating her and describing her with repulsive names. For these matters do not befit an exemplary husband.
18. Having jealousy and caring about the modesty of your wife is a praiseworthy thing, which shows your love for her. However it is on the condition that you do not go to great extremes in this jealousy. For then at that point, it would turn into something worthy of no praise.
19. Entering the house: Do not alarm your family by entering upon them suddenly. Rather, enter while they are aware of it, and greet them with Salaam. And ask about them and how they are doing. And do not forget to remember Allaah, the Mighty and Sublime, when you enter the house.
20. Beware of spreading any secrets connected with the intimate encounters you have with your wife, for that is something restricted and forbidden.
21. Constantly maintain the cleaning of your mouth and the freshening of your breath.
22. Guardianship of your wife doesn't mean that you can exploit what Allaah has bestowed upon you from taking charge of her, such that you harm and oppress her.
23. Showing respect and kindness to your wife's family is showing respect and kindness to her. And this applies even after her death, on the condition that it is not accompanied by an act forbidden in the Religion, such as intermingling of the sexes or being in privacy (with them).
24. Too much joking will lead to (your family having) little fear (of disobeying you) and a lack of respect for you. So do not joke too much with your wife.
25. Be considerate that fulfilling the conditions which you promised to your wife during the pre-marriage agreement is a matter possessing the highest of importance and priority. So do not neglect that after getting married.
26. When you lecture your wife or reprimand her or simply speak to her, choose the kindest and nicest of words and expressions for your speech. And do not reprimand her in front of others or in front of your children.
27. It is not proper for you to ask your wife to look for work outside of the house or to spend upon you from her wealth.
28. Do not overburden your wife with acts that she is not able to handle. Consider, with extreme regard, the environment she was raised up in. Rural service is not like urban service, and the service of a strong woman and her preparation for it is not like the service of a weak woman.
29. There is nothing in the obligation of a woman's service to her husband that negates his assisting her in that regard, if he should find the free time. Rather, this is from the good manners of living between the spouses.

Prophet Muhammad's Charter Of Privileges To Christ |

scene one : external : outside view of St. Catherine Monastery in Mt. Sinai.
time summer 623 C.E.
scene two : internal : inside a dark room in St. Catherine Monastery.
the candels light refelct on 10 or maybe 11 monks in the dark room..you can notice they are worried as they were waiting for the patriarch to finish his prayer to tell him why he called for this meeting. there were rumours in the Monastry that the Arab traveller who stopped by the Monastry this morning gave the Patriarch a message from someone important.
Monk 1: <whispering> do you think this meeting has something to do with the Arab vist this morning?
Monk 2: <whisper back> i bet it is, look at the table...there is a message on it..i'm sure...
the Patriarch finish his prayer and turn to the monks...he look at their faces to make sure they are all here.
the Patriarch : sure you wonder why i called for this meeting and why here
a Monk : the Arab traveller message!??
the rest of monks look at him in disgust..how dare you to interrupt the Patriarch?
the Patriarch wave his hand...its ok sons..i know you are worried about the message..its from a man called Mohammed, he say he is the prophet of God!
the Monks look at each other in surprise..only one of them doesn't seem to be surprised.....Gerogeos..the youngest of all Monks in the church and the most brilliant..he is from a small village in upper Egypt and his parents sent him to the Monsatry ever since he was 13 years old.
the Patriarch : Gerogeos my son...you are with us?
Gerogeos : maybe its him!!
the Patriarch : what are you talking about
Gerogeos : the desert man..the Arab...one of Ishmael sons..maybe he..
the Patriarch interrupt him : Gerogeos!!....we are not here to discuss the man prophethood, we are here to read his message!
Gerogeos : <looking at the floor> sorry father!
the Patriarch : move forward luke..read the man message
as Luke is moving forward to hold the message from the table everyone in the room were thinking..."war declaration or what?".."can the Pagan Arabs be better to us than the christian Brutal Romans!!?"
Luke take the message and start reading.
<b>This is a message from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them.</b>
the Patriarch showed no reaction..like an ice berg was his face....but you can noticed the sings of relief on the monks faces..esepcially Luke....and Gerogeos eyes were shining like he is waiting for something
<b>Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because </b>
Luke smile like a child and look at the Patriarch and the monks and say : they will defend us!!!...they are willing to defend us!!
the Patrirarch give him a cold look and say : complete the message.
Luke blush a bit and continue reading
<b>Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them. </b>
No compulsion is to be on them.
Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries.
No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims' houses.
Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God's covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate.
No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight.
The Muslims are to fight for them.
If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.
Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants.
No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world).
Luke finsih the message and roll it and gave it back to the Patriarch as his eyes was screaming of happines....even the Patriarch smiled...one of the Monks raise his hands to sky and scream with tears in his eyes "Thanks Jesus for sending us a saint to save us from the Romans oppression!!" 5 monks joined him saying the same words enthusiasticly.....the atmosphere of happines in the room was cheering all that was happening as Gerogeos was looking nowhere..his brain was racing and so was his heart..his lips was moving to say something...not heard or noticed by the monks but his voice became more clear..forcing them to be silent and look at him in shock..he was saying.."the man is a prophet not a saint"...one seconds or two before one or two monks asked "what?"..he pointed a finger at them in said "the man is a prophet...a prophet" and rushed out of the room.

A Sister In Need... |

As salamu aleykum wr wb
Peace and blessing of Allah swt be upon you all Muslims.
I have come online to ask a question. My dear sister is in need. She feels like the shame of her family concerning the sins she had done which she is so ashamed to speak about. She hasnt revealed it to anybody except me and does not want anybody to know about it. I try to confort her saying that Allah swt is ever Forgiving but even though she is well aware, she cannot make herself believe that. I understand why she is ashamed but this hatreat for herself has, sometimes, put a barrier between her and Allah swt. I can see that she feels sometimes that she is one of those who are destined for Hell-Fire. I don't know what to say to her anymore. At times, when she is okay and follows Islam normaly, she gets these flashbacks and suddenly falls into hatreat and regret. She keeps praying that her sins will not be revealed. I don't know how to make her believe that she too can be forgiven as long as she hasnt done any shirk (which she hasn't). Please give me some advice to tell her before she loses hope for good and leaves Islam thinking that she isn't deserving of the truth and then commits suicide.
I urge you, plz give me advise.

Sufism |

Assalamu alaikum,
I have read a little about Sufism and see where the practice definitely includes bida. However, I have spoken to brothers who claim that there is a form of Sufism that does not incorporate any bida; one described himself as "a Sunni and a Sufi."
Can anyone explain to me how this is possible, or if it is not, how someone might be misled to believe this is possible?
Also, it seems to me that in his writings Al-Ghazzali seems to support some form of Sufism, or at least the notion that there is an "elite" that has greater access to guidance than others. Am I misunderstanding something?

A Question About Jesus |

Question
Salam ...
It's some quote from one person who has said :
"...that "No man comes to the father except by me", and I do not believe that Jesus is a liar". "Jesus did make one claim that was rather revolutionary to say the least. He claimed to be the Son of God, and that "any who have seen me have seen the Father." Jesus as He claimed was more than just a prophet. He was born for the purpose of saving the world....and that includes people of all religions. His death and resurection would be a total waste outside of this context."
If anyone can Answer to refute so I may respond to that person from whom I received.
Answer 1
Bissmillah Al Rahman Al Raheem
Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
We Muslims can not be a muslim if we are not believing in Son of Marry Eisa, he took miraculas birth without father having mother, as Adam alaihe assalam created by dust without father and mother.
Now your question IS JESUS SON OF GOD
If Jesus is the only son of God (Allah Forgive us) as all christians are quoting from Bible for the Divine sonship:
Mathew 3:17; "And lo a voice for heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased"
this is the only verse they used as a proof for divine sonship, then there should be no other verse that contradicts or give equal divine sonship to another person or persons in the Old or New Testament. However, many references were found in the Old and New Testaments that mentioned someone other than Jesus as having a divine sonship to God
Kindly open the Bible and see
Exodus 4:22
Israel is my son, even my firstborn
II Samuel 7:14
I Chronicles 22:10
... and he shall be my son (Solomon)
Jeremiah 31:9
Psalm 2:7
... and Ephraim is my firstborn
The word "Son" must not be accepted literally because God addresses many of his chosen servants as son and sons. The Jews have also claimed Ezra to be the Son of God.
The New Testament Greek words used for "son" (Pias and paida which mean servant, or son in the sense of servant)
Further the term "Father" as used by Jesus corresponds more closely to the term Rabb, i.e. one who nourishes and sustains, so that Jesus' doctine God is "Father" - Nourisher and Sustainer - of all men.
The New Testament also interprets "son of God" to be allegorical: "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
Romans 8:14 This allegorical suggestion is further supported with Jesus being called the only begotten Son of God (May Allah forgive us)
In Psalm 2:7, the Lord said to David
"Thou art my Son; this day have begotten thee."
Does this mean that God had two sons?
Jesus also said that God is not only his Father but also your Father see
Mathew 5:45,48 and
Luke 3:38 says
...Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the Son of God."
Who is mentioned in Hebrews 7:3 as like unto the Son of God?
It is Melchisedec, King of Salem, as mentioned in Hebrews 7:1 (Melchisedec) is more unique than Jesus or Adam. Why is he not preferred to be the Son of God? Moreover, Adam did not have a mother or father, but was the first human being created by God and in the likeness of God to exist in the Garden of Eden and on earth. Wouldn't this give more rights to Adam to be called the son of God in its truest meaning?
I would like to share with you an obvious contradiction between Jhon 3:16 Luke 10:25-28 and Matthew 19:16-17., if you read these verses then it tells us that inheritance of eternal life is for everyone who believes and sorship no other God, but the One true God.
And there is so much...
Answer 2
The Reality of Jesus, peace be upon him
Without a doubt, you have often heard the claim that Jesus is God,
the second person in the "Holy Trinity". However, the very Bible
which is used as a basis for knowledge about Jesus and as the basis
for doctrine within Christianity clearly belies this claim.
We urge you to consult your own Bible and verify that the following
conclusions are not drawn out of context:
1. God Is All Knowing.....But Jesus Was Not
When speaking of the Day of Judgement, Jesus clearly gave evidence of
a limitation on his knowledge when he said, "But of that day and hour
knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the
son, but the Father." (Mark 13:32 and Matt. 24:36) But God knows all.
His knowledge is without any limitations. That Jesus, of his own
admission, did not know when the Day of Judgement would be, is clear
proof that Jesus is not all-knowing, and that Jesus is therefore not
God.
2. God Is All-Powerful.....But Jesus Was Not
While Jesus performed many miracles, he himself admitted that the
power he had was not his own but was derived from God when he
said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of
himself, but what he seeth the Father do..." (John 5:19). Again he
said, "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my
judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will but the will of
the Father which has sent me." (John 5:30) But God is not only All-
Powerful, He is also the source of all power and authority. That
Jesus, of his own admission, could do nothing on his own is clear
proof that Jesus is not all-powerful, and that therefore Jesus is not
God.
3. God Does Not Have A God.....But Jesus Did Have A God
God is the ultimate judge and refuge for all, and He does not call
upon nor pray to any others. But Jesus acknowledged that there was
One whom he worshipped and to Whom he prayed when he said, "I ascend
unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God." (John
20:17). He is also reported to have cried out while on the cross, "My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46). If Jesus were
God, then couldn't this be read, "Myself, myself, why hast thou
forsaken me?". Would that not be pure nonsense? When Jesus prayed the
Lord's Prayer (Luke 11:2-4), was he praying to himself? When in the
garden of Gethsemane he prayed, "O my Father, if it be possible, let
this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt."
(Matt. 26:36). Was Jesus praying to himself? That Jesus, of his own
admission and by his own actions, acknowledged, worshipped, and
prayed to another being as God is clear proof that Jesus himself is
not God.
According to the Bible, God is an invisible spirit....
4. But Jesus Was Flesh And Blood
While thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice, Jesus himself said
that this could not be done with God when he said: "No man hath seen
God at any time." (John 1:18). "Ye have neither heard His voice at
any time nor seen His shape." (John 5:37) He also said in John
4:24: "God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in
spirit and in truth." That Jesus would say that no one had seen or
heard God at any time, while his followers both saw and heard him, is
clear proof that Jesus was not God.
NO ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD AND NO ONE CAN DIRECT HIM...
BUT JESUS ACKNOWLEDGED
SOMEONE GREATER THAN HIMSELF WHOSE...
5. Will Was Distinct From His Own
Perhaps the clearest indication we have that Jesus and God are not
equal, and therefore not one and the same, comes again from the mouth
of Jesus himself who said in John 14:28: "My Father is greater than
I." When someone referred to him as a good master in Luke 18:19,
Jesus responded: "Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one,
that is God..." Furthermore, Jesus drew clear distinctions between
himself and God when he said, "I proceeded forth and came from God,
neither came I of myself but He sent me." (John 8:42) Jesus gave
clear evidence of his subordination to God, rather than his equality
with God, when he said in Luke 22:42, "not my will but Thine be done"
and in John 5:30, "I seek not mine own will but the will of the
Father which has sent me." That Jesus would admit that he did not
come into the world on his own initiative but was directed to do so,
that he would acknowledge another being as greater than himself, and
that he would negate his own will in deference to affirming the will
of another, give clear proof that Jesus is not the Supreme One and
therefore Jesus is not God.
ConclusionThe Church recognises the Bible as the primary source of knowledge
about God and Jesus. But since the Bible makes it clear that Jesus is
not the Supreme Being and the Supreme Being is not Jesus, upon what
basis have you come to believe otherwise?
The belief that the Supreme Being is a Trinity is false and
completely inconsistent with the words of Jesus as presented in the
Bible. God is one, not three. He is a perfect unity.
If you are interested in the truth about God and your relationship to
Him, we invite you to investigate the religion of Islam.
What Is The Word Of God About Jesus:
A. Regarding The Sonship Of Jesus:
"Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth about
which they (vainly) dispute. It is not befitting to (the majesty of)
Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines
a matter He only says to it "Be" and it is."
Chapter 19, Verses 34-35
"They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" Indeed ye have
put forth a thing most monstrous! At if the skies are ready to burst
the earth to split asunder and the mountains to fall down in utter
ruin. That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious. For it
is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He
should beget a son. Not one of the beings in the heavens and the
earth but must come to (Allah) Most Gracious as a servant."
Chapter 19, Verses 88-93
"This similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam: He created
him from dust then said to him: "Be" and he was."
Chapter 3, Verse 59
"O people of the Book! commit no excesses in your religion: nor say
of Allah aught but truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more
than) an Apostle of Allah and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and
a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His Apostles.
Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is
One Allah: glory be to him: (for Exalted is He) above having a son.
To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is
Allah as a Disposer of affairs."
Chapter 4, Verse 171
B. Regarding Jesus Being God:
"And behold! Allah will say "O Jesus the son of Mary! didst thou say
unto men `worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah"?
He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right
(to say). Had I said such a thing Thou wouldst indeed have known it.
Thou knowest what is in my heart though I know not what is in Thine.
For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. "Never said I to them
aught except what Thou didst command me to say to wit `Worship Allah
my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt
amongst them; when Thou didst take me up thou wast the Watcher over
them and Thou art a Witness to all things." Chapter 5, Verses 116-117
C. Regarding Crucifixion Of Jesus
"That they rejected faith: that they uttered against Mary a grave
false charge. That they said (in boast) "We killed Christ Jesus the
son of Mary the Apostle of Allah"; but they killed him not nor
crucified him but so it was made to appear to them and those who
differ therein are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge but
only conjecture to follow for of a surety they killed him not. Nay
Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power Wise.
And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him
before his death; and on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness
against them."

Jesus (Peace be upon him) was but a humble Prophet of Allah
Ibn-al-Qayyim(may Allaah have mercy on him) poetically states:
O worshippers of the Messiah, we have a question, to which we want an
answer from the one who understands it.
If a god dies because of the actions of people who kill him, what is
this god?
Is he pleased with what they did to him? Then they must be lucky for
they have earned his pleasure.
If he is displeased with what they did to him, their power has
nevertheless overwhelmed his.
Did the universe remain without a god who hears all and answers those
who call upon him?
Were the seven heavens left with no god above them when he was buried
in the ground?
Was this universe left with no god to look after it when his hands
were nailed (to the cross)?
How could this god be forsaken by all his creation when they heard
him weep?
How could this wood bear the true god who was tied to it?
How could iron come close to him and penetrate him and wound him?
How could the hands of his enemies reach him when they struck the
back of his head?
Was the Messiah brought back to life or is the one who revived him
another god?
What a strange grave it is that could contain a god. What is even
stranger is that a womb could contain him,
Where he remained for nine months, nourished from blood,
Then he emerged from the vagina as a tiny baby, opening his mouth and
seeking the breast,
Eating and drinking, with the inevitable consequences thereof. Is
that a god?
Exalted be Allaah above the fabrications of the Christians. He will
question them all about the lies they told.
O worshippers of the cross, for what reason is that thing (the cross)
venerated?
Rationally speaking, it should be broken and burned.
If god was crucified upon it by force and his hands nailed to it,
Then the thing used for that purpose should be cursed and trampled
upon, not kissed when you see it.
How can the Lord of the Worlds be humiliated on it, then you go and
worship it?
Then you are the enemies of that god, if you venerate it because the
lord of mankind has touched it.
That cross is lost but every time we see something similar it reminds
us of that cross.
Then why you do you not venerate the graves, for a grave once
contained your lord?
O worshipper of the Messiah, wake up! He has a beginning and he has
an end.

Salam Aleykom!
Hello everyone! I am a first time user of this website and was hesitant at first to post my situation, but I believe in the kindness of strangers, so here I go!
I converted to Islam almost 2 years ago. My realtionship with my parents before I converted was very strained. I never confided in them and constantly lied to them or omitted to tell them things. Now I am married to a very loving Muslim manand am 6 months pregnant with our first child, but unfortunately the lying that I subjected my parents to, has transferred over into my marriage. I have lied to my husband a few times over the past two years that we have been married, mostly about money and finances. He discovered the truth about my lies on his own everytime, and needless to say he was and IS very hurt, betrayed and angry with me. I want to make things right between us, but I don't know how. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I thank everyone who took the time to read this.
Jazakallah khair
