Why Breaking
Relations
- Part-2
By
Irshad Mahmood
– Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
In Part-2 of Why
Breaking Relations,
I would like to deal with Brain Washed Religious Extremists who become
intolerant and breaking relations with their loved ones. The Quraan
teaches us to deal with it and respect all, without any discrimination.
Forgiveness is the key to resolve any matters as taught by the Quraan.
Due to Disco Culture (caused by Films and Dramas etc.) of
Non-Practicing Muslims, True Muslims should not break relations. If one
has crookedness in his/her heart, he/she need to be deal accordingly on
case by case method, instead of applying for all. Only few individuals
need to be send to Correction Centers where applicable and only few
need to go through many restrictions, not whole Nation.
Breaking
Relations
with Liberal and Peaceful Muslims:
Many Extremist Muslims think that by
wearing certain types
of cloths or dressing up in a special way or men having beard is the
key to enter Jannah. Nowhere
in the Quraan Allah mentioned that he will be enter into Jannah because
of the size of his beard or because of his/her special dress codes,
instead Allah told us to follow his commandments completely and as is,
otherwise it is like donkey carrying books and he/she don’t know what
Allah has commanded in it. Worshiping Allah alone as well as dealing
with
people justly is one of the key to enter into Jannah, (Ref: Al_Quraan_060:008).
There are many Extremist
Muslims who
are breaking relations with their loved ones, since others are not
following as they do. As per Quraan, where Allah has permitted Muslim
Men to marry women of the people of the book, then who are they to
break relations with their loved ones (including parent, brothers,
sisters, kids, spouses and other relatives). Remember: Allah has told
to build and keep relations with your loved ones, (Ref: Al_Quraan_017.023-039).
Many
Extremist
Muslimah started wearing Hijaab and breaking relations with their loved
ones:
One of the reasons for
having Hijaab
(extra cloth) on women is when they are going out for legal reason in
light of the Quraan. In extremely tough Economic situation, it is
extremely hard to survive on single earning for many families. Allah
has allowed women to work to support their family in exceptional cases
under the boundary limit of the Quraan, (Al_Quraan_004:032).
Do not falsely accuse/blame on those Pisces & Honorable women
who
are going out for work to support their families in a legal way, (Al_Quraan_024:004-005, 023).
Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) initially worked as a consultant
under Hazrat Khadijah (Radi Allahu Anhu) and later got married with
her. It was an example of a Business
Women
as a Leader of an Organization. So it is ok for women to work or run
businesses etc. by observing Quraanic Veil (Hijaab like women do at
Hajj), (Al_Quraan_004:032). There are excellent examples
in the life of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) as a Global Role
Model for the whole World, which
starts from the day He (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) born till He
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) passed away, (Ref: Al_Quraan_033.021).
Many people are confused with the
meaning of Zina (Rape) and Hijaab (Curtain). Zina (Rape) is a physical
act by
touching another person (Ref:
Al_Quraan_024:002-005), while Hijaab is an act which is
without
touching another person. If one speaks lewdness/sexy or wearing sexy
dress code to attract others (men or women) is forbidden, since it
opens the door towards Zina (Rape). One must close his/her door of home
as well as heart for that individual person who speaks lewd (sexy
voice/tones) or wears sexy dresses/styles. Government must pass a
resolution to apply special restrictions on people for safety and
security of women and if found guilty of lewdness (sexy voice/tones) or
wears sexy dresses/styles put penalty except for their spouses, then
send him/her to Correction Center as well.
Yes, it is true that
when the WAHEE
(revelation) came to put Niqab for wives of Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him), and all including Ayesha (RA) started observing
immediately. However, Niqab is not mentioned in the Quraan for any
Muslimah/Mominah except wives of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him).
Also staying inside home like manmade house arrest to observe Hijab,
unless she is FAHISHA is not mentioned in the Quraan for any
Muslimah/Mominah except wives of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him).
In the Quraan Allah is commanding to All, Individuals, Men, Women,
Muslim, Muslimah, Momin, Mominah, Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him)
and wives of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) etc. We need to
understand the context of the Quraan, to whom Allah is addressing to.
Where ever Allah is clearly addressing to wives of Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) that you are not like others, does not apply to
rest of Muslimah/Muminah, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_007:032, 033:032-034).
Religious Talks and
Family Talks
(under Quraanic Guidance without backbiting or lose talks) are allowed
among relatives and close family-friends, since relatives and friends
are allowed to sit and eat with you. Make sure you observe Quraanic
Hijaab without breaking relations, (Ref: Al_Quraan_024:061).
Believers, men and women,
are Auliyaa
(protecting friends) to one of another;
since they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, but here at present
day of Hijab extremist are not allowing to do Dawah to each other
although Allah is commanding to do so of course by observing Quraanic
Hijab with clean heart, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_009:071).
Mahrams are of two
types, permanent
and temporary. Permanent Mahrams are those with whom you are never
allowed to marry. Temporarily Mahrams are those with whom you cannot
marry for specific period of time on case by case method. Remember: No marriage is a
marriage if it
is for fixed period of time including with captives, rather it is
Zina/Rape.
One must have to marry a captive, if he wants to have sexual relations
with her otherwise it is Zina/Rape. Please read Marriage Counseling for
detail.

List
of Permanent
Mahrams:
Forbidden to you are
your mothers
and your daughters
and your sisters
and your
paternal aunts
and
your maternal aunts
and brothers' daughters (niece)
and sisters' daughters (niece)
and your foster-mothers
that have suckled you (regardless of age) and your foster-sisters
and
mothers of your wives (mother-in-law)
and your step-daughters
who are in your guardianship, (born) of your wives to whom you have
gone in, but if you have not gone in to them, there is no blame on you
(in marrying them), and the wives of your sons (daughter-in-law)
who are
of your own loins and that you should have two sisters
together,
except what has already passed; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful, (Al_Quraan_004.023).
A Man
can have
total of up to four wives (including captives with whom he had
married), if can afford to support those women and all the rest will be
Temporarily Mahram, since he is forbidden to have more than four wives:
And if you fear that you
may not be
just to the orphans,
then you
may marry whom you please of the women: two, and three, and four.
But if you fear you will not be fair, then only one, or what your right
hand possesses. This is best that you do not face financial hardship, (Al_Quraan_004.003).
List
of Temporary
Mahrams:
And all MARRIED
women
except
those whom your right hands possess (war captive women for marriages)
Allah's ordinance to you, and lawful for you are (all women) besides
those, provided
that you seek (them) with your property, taking (them) in marriage
NOT committing fornication.
Then as to those whom you profit by, give them their dowries as
appointed; and there is no blame on you about what you mutually agree
after what is appointed; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise, (Al_Quraan_004.024).
Do not make your own
home/street/town/village/city/province/state/country/world Hell,
instead work sincerely for building Heavenly Earth. Be part
of the
solution not the problem.
Tips
to bringing
Peace among Loved Ones:
We are all human and we
do mistakes
again and again, which need to be corrected. Someone
need to standup and make peace among them, and get great reward from
Allah, otherwise Allah may question them on the day of judgment, which
will be too late to reconcile, (Ref. Al_Quraan_049:009-012).
It is human nature to
burn up on
certain, things or words or others attitude/tone towards him/her.
Bullying and Yelling hurts, and people may do suicide. Sticks and stones
break only
skin, while words and actions live in their mind permanently.
Bullying may kill
people including
your loved ones. We must stand up, speak up and make it
stop
before it gets too late. Those
who do Bullying must need to be send to correction center.
We all
need to
learn how to talk with manners, dignity and respects, regardless of
elders/youngers.
We need to train ourselves to become a role model in our society. We
need to learn Effective Communication (a Two Way Communication) to deal
with these matters in the light of the Quraan. Brothers
and
Sisters must be BEST Friends to each other regardless of Elders or
Youngers.
THINK
before you speak, since you will be question on the Day of Judgment on
each of your actions. Remember, NO action is also an
action
itself. Each and every letters of THINK
itself stands for.
T
= is it really True?
H
= is it Helpful?
I
= is it Inspiring?
N
= is it Necessary?
K
= is it Kind
Use soft tone instead of
harsh one,
e.g. instead to saying “You never helped me, look you saw and didn’t
help me”, or you say like yelling “Hey, Do this” or “Hey, Do that”, or
say “Are you blind, deaf or dumb”, just say “can you please help me”.
Do consult with your loved ones and be tolerant on collective
decisions, if that is not against the Quraan and Authentic Sunnah.
Inshaa Allah that will help cooling down all and if others didn’t help
just keep calm, be patient and ask Allah to help you. If you get help
from your loved ones in your hardships, you must accept that and give
reward to him/her if you can afford to do so. You must not forget those
who are very close to you like under the candle light there is dark. If
for all you are the best example but for your closed loved ones you are
terrible then wait, and Allah will tell you on the Day of Judgment or
correct yourself before it gets too late. For your closed loved ones
you must be the best friend regardless of elder or younger and mind
your language before saying, Think
before You
Ink.
You must say “Jazaak Allah Khair (May Allah Reward You for this Help,
AMEEN) / Thank You”, after getting help at least. Problems do come in
our lives as a test or alarming punishments. If someone is badly
sick/disabled or having other hardships, it could be a test for him/her
or alarming punishment. While for others who are not in hardship may
also having test for this, to check that if they are helping those
having hardship as much as they can. If they do help what they can,
then they are safe, otherwise they will be questioned on the Day of
Judgment. Many times
Elders/Rich/Powerful/Educated people create problems due to their PRIDE and thinking that
they are BIG,
this is Devils (Shaitaanic)
work and that may lead them to hardship by Allah. Remember: You cannot change others
but you can
change yourself, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_002:034, 003:027, 006:142, 007:012/027, 018:050, 035:006).
Below
are
translations of few verses from the Quraan to ponder on it:
Say: Come I will recite
what your
Lord has forbidden to you-- (remember) that you do not associate
anything with Him and show
kindness
to your parents, and do
not
slay your children for (fear of) poverty--
We provide for you and for them-- and do not draw nigh to indecencies,
those of them which are apparent and those which are concealed, and do not kill the soul which Allah
has
forbidden except for the requirements of justice; this He
has
enjoined you with that you may understand, (Al_Quraan_006.151).
O you who believe! be maintainers of justice,
bearers of
witness of Allah's sake,
though it may be against your own selves or (your) parents or near
relatives; if he be rich or poor, Allah is nearer to them both in
compassion; therefore do not follow (your) low desires, lest you
deviate; and if you swerve or turn aside, then surely Allah is aware of
what you do, (Al_Quraan_004.135).
And We have enjoined man
in respect of his parents--
his mother
bears him with fainting
upon fainting
and his weaning takes two
years-- saying: Be
grateful to Me and
to both your parents; to Me is the eventual coming, (Al_Quraan_031.014).
Worship none but Allah; treat
with kindness your parents and kindred, and orphans and those in need;
speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and practice regular
charity. Then did you turn back, except a few among you,
and you
backslide (even now). And remember we took your covenant (to this
effect): Shed no blood amongst you, nor turn out your own people from
your homes: and this you solemnly ratified, and to this you can bear
witness. After this it is you, the same people, who slay among
yourselves, and banish a party of you from their homes; assist (Their
enemies) against them, in guilt and rancor; and if they come to you as
captives, you ransom them, though it was not lawful for you to banish
them. Then is it the only part of the Book that you believe in, and do
you reject the rest? But what is the reward for those among you who
behave like this but disgrace in this life? - And on the Day of
Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For
Allah is not unmindful of what you do, (Al_Quraan_002.083-085).
1>
You will worship none but Him,
2>
And that you will be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them
attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor
repel them, but address them in terms of honor. And, out of kindness,
lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them
your Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." Your Lord knows
best what is in your hearts: If you do deeds of righteousness, verily
He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again and again (in true
penitence).
3>
And give to the relatives their due rights, as (also) to those in want,
and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a
spendthrift. Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the
Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful. And even if you have to
turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from your Lord, which you
dose expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness.
4>
Make not your hand tied (like a niggard's) to your neck, nor stretch it
forth to its utmost reach, so that you become blameworthy and
destitute. Verily your Lord does provide sustenance in abundance for
whom He pleases, and He provides in a just measure. For He does know
and regard all His servants.
5>
Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance
for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin.
6>
Nor come near to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil,
opening the road (to other evils).
7>
Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause.
And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to
demand Qisaas or to forgive): but let him nor exceed bounds in the
matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law).
8>
Come not near to the orphan's property except to improve it, until he
attains the age of full strength;
9>
And fulfill (every) Promises, for (every) Promises will be enquired
into (on the Day of Judgment).
10>
Give full measure when you measure, and weigh with a balance that is
straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the
final determination.
11>
And follow not that of which you have no knowledge; for every act of
hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired
into (on the Day of Reckoning).
12>
Nor walk (proudly) on the earth: for you cannot rend the earth asunder,
nor reach the mountains in height. Of all such things the evil is
hateful in the sight of your Lord. These are among the (precepts of)
wisdom, which your Lord has revealed to you.
13>
And do not associate any other god with Allah lest you should be thrown
into Hell, blamed, defeated.
(Ref:
Al_Quraan_017.023-039)
Today you still might have
time to
repent, BUT tomorrow it could be too late. Repent now before it gets
too late. Not
following Allah’s
Commandments is Breaking Relation with Allah.
It is my
humble request to all
Masjid
organizers to start Quraanic Arabic Language Course in Masjids for free.
It will help Ajmi Muslims to understand the Quraan and protect
themselves from Great Sins. Be
Careful, if you are BIG
(Brother/Sister/Rich/Power/Educated).
