Quran 66:1

[Muslimah]

Bismillah




Praise be to Allah King of the Kings and Creator of all creation, prayer and peace be upon His Messenger the best among mankind, his household and companions




I found myself obliged to Insh a Allah try to explain the situation of the following Ayah;




"O Prophet! Why do you ban (for yourself) that which Allah has made lawful to you, seeking to please your wives? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Quran 66:1)




As I put it as an example of how non Muslims twise facts and situations in order to distort the image of our beloved leader, teacher and Prophet Mohamed salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam.




As the ayah clearly explains that the Messenger made something that is lawful unlawful for himself. In other words he vowed to prevent himslef from benefiting of something and as the Ayah goes on, it explains why? it was in order to please his wives or let us be precise one wife.




Now, why this situation occured? did it occur before with any other prophet?




Yes it did, it happened with Yaqoub (Jacob) when he vowed to never eat camel meat and made it haram for himself, thus later on the children of Israel followed his footsteps, till Allah made it lawful to them thru the teachings of Jesus prayer and peace be upon all of them




But on the situation of the Mohamed salla Allah a`lyhee was sallam it was different.




The situation occured as it was his day with Hafsa may Allah be pleased with her. He went to her house, didnt find her, so he called for Maria and had sex with her. When Hafsa came back, she found the situation and became upset. The Messenger in order to please her and make up, told her he would make Maria Haram (unlawful) or more accurately not divorce her but not to take her as a wife no more.




As Allah Never Lets the Messenger does something haphazardoly but rather to teach us, Allah Revealed this Ayah and probably this whole situation occured for us to learn that a man is never allowed to make something that is halal (lawful) haram just to please someone or make up for a mistake.




Allah Willed to Tell us that having sex with one's wife at the place of another is not haram, yes it might hurt the wife, but it is not haram. Besides he actually didnt strip the wife her rights, I mean he didnt overlook her day intentionally and preferred the other one. This would have been actually a sin. Neither was it that he had sex outside of marriage.




We must take in consideration that each and every situation or step or word that the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam takes or says or makes is Willed for teaching the Ummah what to do when. It is never like he lusted for someone then made up to cover up for his shame asghferullah. This is how non Muslims like to portray things.




But what is best is to really learn who is he to start with and why he does or say anything.




Alhamdulelah who guided us for this and if it was not for Him we wouldnt have been guided

Thank you for opening this can of worms. Frankly, child molestation is much more of an issue than infidelity, so I had this one on a back burner, but since you brought it up.....

But on the situation of the Mohamed salla Allah a`lyhee was sallam it was different.
The situation occured as it was his day with Hafsa may Allah be pleased with her. He went to her house, didnt find her, so he called for Maria and had sex with her. When Hafsa came back, she found the situation and became upset.

This is considered moral?


I am stunned.


I am shocked.


I am completely saddened by what I have read here.

To continue on this issue, we must stop and see what are the lessons learnt in such a situation.


From this situation, we learnt:


1. As Muslims we must not invent or add rule.


2. We must observe only Allah's rules in terms of what is lawful and unlawful.


3. Through this situation Allah Legislated the expiation of one who takes an oath and does not fulfill it.


4. We must only please Allah not human beings.


Each situation in the life of the Messenger is desgined for us to learn how to handle it. In other words, his life could be perceived as a practical application for any given situation one could possible go thru.

More on the learnt lessons:


We learnt that a wife should not bring out her husband's secrets to any one not even to another wife.


As the Surat at the beginning talks about the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam talks about him telling Hafsa about his vow not to take Maria as wife and he asked her to keep it between them, but she brought it out to Aisha.

Assalaamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuhu


JazaakAllah Khair Sister Muslimah for that explanation, which totally makes sense, and I believe can be confirmed with this Aaya from Surah Al-Ahzab of the Glorious Qur'an:


"You (O Muhammad SAW) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive whom you will. And whomsoever you desire of those whom you have set aside (her turn temporarily), it is no sin on you (to receive her again), that is better; that they may be comforted and not grieved, and may all be pleased with what you give them. Allah knows what is in your hearts. And Allah is Ever All Knowing, Most Forbearing." [Qur'an 33:51]


...And Allah know best.
