Love, Fate & Marriage: Does Allah Decide Your Marriage?

Love, Fate & Marriage: Does Allah Decide Your Marriage?

FAQs on Marriage, Fate, and Free Will in Islam

Does Allah decide your marriage, or do you have a choice? Explore the Islamic perspective on fate, free will, and the right way to choose a spouse.

Question asked by: Hafiz Naeem from Raghubir Nagar, Delhi

Answered by: Mufti Muhammad Shahid Barakati

“If Allah decides our pairs, then are runaway marriages also His will?”

This is a common question, especially in today's time when interfaith marriages and love marriages are becoming more frequent. Many people believe that marriages are written by Allah, so does that mean if a Muslim girl runs away with a non-Muslim, it was also Allah’s decision?

The answer to this is yes and no – let’s break it down in simple terms.



1️⃣ Does Allah decide marriages?

Yes, everything happens by the will of Allah, but there’s a difference between fate (Qadr) and free will (Ikhtiyar).

Allah has created two types of decisions:
1️⃣ Qaza-e-Mubram (Final Fate): Some things are fixed and cannot change, like our date of birth, death, and natural events.
2️⃣ Qaza-e-Muallak (Conditional Fate): Some things depend on our choices, like our actions, efforts, and decisions – marriage is one of them.

💡 Example: If a person eats unhealthy food and gets sick, can they say, “It was Allah’s will that I got sick”? No! Because they had the choice to eat healthy but chose otherwise. Similarly, who we marry is our choice, but Islam has given clear guidelines on whom to marry and whom to avoid.


2️⃣ Is running away for love also Allah’s will?

No, Islam does not support this. Allah has given humans free will to make decisions, but with responsibility. Just because something happens does not mean Allah approves of it.

📖 Qur'an Reference:
"And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe (in Islam). And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheistic woman, even if she pleases you. And do not marry polytheistic men until they believe. A believing slave is better than a polytheist, even if he pleases you. They invite you to the Fire, while Allah invites you to Paradise and forgiveness by His will."
📚 (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:221)

This ayah clearly tells us that a Muslim should not marry a polytheist (idol worshipper), even if they find them attractive or good-hearted.

💡 Example: If a father tells his son not to touch fire, but the son still touches it and gets burned – can he blame the father? No! Because he was warned. Similarly, Islam has warned Muslims not to enter such marriages, as they can lead to loss of faith.


3️⃣ What happens if a Muslim girl or boy marries a non-Muslim?

Islam does not allow a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man. If she does, the marriage is not valid in Islam.

📖 Qur'an Reference:
"Bad women are for bad men, and bad men are for bad women. Good women are for good men, and good men are for good women."
📚 (Surah An-Nur 24:26)

🔹 If a Muslim girl runs away and marries a non-Muslim – she is making a decision based on desire, not faith. Islam warns against such choices because they often lead to loss of faith, broken families, and regret later in life.

🔹 If a Muslim boy marries a non-Muslim girl – in some cases, Islam allows marriage with Christian or Jewish women only if they truly follow their religion and are modest. But even this is discouraged, as it can cause faith-related conflicts in the family.


4️⃣ Is everything written, or can we change our fate?

Marriage is written, but we also have a choice.
Our choices determine the outcome of our life.
Dua, good deeds, and effort can change fate.

📖 Hadith:
"Nothing changes fate except Dua."
📚 (Sunan Ibn Majah, 90)

💡 Example: If a student does not study and fails, can they say, “It was written that I would fail”? No! They had the choice to work hard and change their result. Similarly, we have the choice to follow Islam’s guidance on marriage and relationships.


5️⃣ What is the Islamic way to find a life partner?

Instead of running away for love, Islam gives a respectful way to choose a life partner:

Make dua for a good spouse.
Look for piety and good character first, not just looks or money.
Involve parents and elders for guidance.
Do Istikhara (prayer for guidance).
Follow the Islamic Nikah process, which is simple and full of Barakah.

📖 Hadith:
"A woman is married for four reasons: her wealth, her lineage, her beauty, and her religion. Choose the one with religion, and you will be successful."
📚 (Sahih Bukhari, 5090; Sahih Muslim, 1466)

💡 Example: Just like we don’t buy a car just because it looks good, but also check its engine, performance, and durability – choosing a spouse should also be based on long-term qualities like faith, character, and values.


6️⃣ What if someone has already made a mistake? Can they return?

Yes! Islam always gives a chance to return to the right path. If someone has already done something against Islamic teachings:

They should sincerely repent (Tawbah).
Make a strong intention to follow Islamic guidance.
Seek help from scholars and family to make things right.
If married outside Islam, seek proper advice from a scholar on how to correct the situation.

📖 Hadith:
"The one who repents from sin is like the one who has never sinned."
📚 (Sunan Ibn Majah, 4250)



Allah has given us free will, but with responsibility. Marriage should be based on faith, values, and compatibility, not just emotions. Running away for love is not Allah’s plan – it is a human decision that comes with consequences. May Allah guide us all towards the right path.

Is wearing Taweez (Amulet) (Shirk) permissible in Islam with videoI

Is wearing Taweez (Amulet) (Shirk) permissible in Islam with videoI

Is wearing Taweez permitted in Islam? Is it Shirk to wera Taweez in Islam? Why is Taweez worn in Islam? Is there any relevance to wearing Taweez in islam? What is the status of Black Magic in Islam? And you may have may such questions on Taweez (Amulet)

We bring you detail information on Taweez from Quran and Hadiths. We also bring you videos in for of Audio to explain better by Mufti Shahid Barkati

Video: Kya Taweez Pehana Shirk hain (Quran aur Hadees ki Roshni mein) 


What is Taweez?

The definition of a Ta’weez is simply ‘a written Du'a,’ which is from the Qur’an or Ahadith, and is for the one who cannot read or has not memorized that particular Du'a. It is written on a piece of paper and is worn around the neck.

We, the Ahle Sunnah believe, to wear a Taweez around the neck is permissible if the du’a contained in it is written from the Qur’an or Ahadith. Prophet Muhammad [May Allah bless him and grant him peace] used to recite du’a and then blew onto the sick person. The companions of the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] also did this and the companions wrote the du’a on a piece of paper and placed it around the neck of that person if they could not read it. Of course, the du’as from the Qur’an and Ahadith have the power to heal the sick. Some people say, if you wear the Taweez you are commiting shirk, but we will prove, with the help of Allah Almighty, that it is permissible to wear a Taweez.

Proof of Taweez from Quran

The Qur’an has the power of healing

Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an,

“…We send down in Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers…”

(Surah Bani Israeel Verse 82).

Qadi Shawkani writes, if the Qur’an’s du’as are recited and blown on the sick, they will be cured. When the non-believers recite the Qur’an, their blasphemic disease will be cured. (Tafsir Fathul Qadir under Verse 82 Surah Bani Israeel).

Proof of wearing the Taweez

1) Hafidhh ibn Kathir and Qadi Shawkani writes:

Amr Ibn Shu’aib RadhiAllahu ‘anhu says, that ‘RasoolAllah (Sallallahu’ alaihi wa sallam) taught my Father and grandFather a Du'a which we would read before going to sleep, to protect us from fear and anguish. We told our elder children to recite this Du'a before going to sleep as well. But for those children who were not yet literate, we would write it and then put it around their necks.

[Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal vol.2, Abu Dawud in Chapter of Medicine, Tafsir by Hafidhh Ibn Kathir of verse 97 of Surah Al-Mu’minoon and Qadi Shawkaani in Fath-ul-Qadeer under the same verse]

It is permissible to read du’a and blow upon the sick

2) Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim writes:

When a person who was sick or in some distress they would go to the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] who would then place his hand on the area of the pain and recite a du’a and then blow onto him.
(Bukhari, Muslim chap on Tibb).

3) Imam Muslim writes: 

When the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] was ill for the last time, angel Jibreel [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] came and recited du’a and blew on to the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace]. (Muslim chapter on Tibb)

4) Imam Muslim writes:

Aisha (Radiall hu anhua) said when the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] was ill the last time, she recited Surah Al-Falaq and Surah Al-Naas and then blew on to the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace]’s hands. The Prophet then blew this onto his own face and body because his hands had more blessing then Aisha’s (Radiall hu anha).

(Muslim chap on Tibb)

From the above narrations, it proves that to blow after reciting du’as onto the sick is Sunnah and the more pious the person is, the more healing power he has because he is blessed more than the less pious. 

5) Hafidhh ibn Taymiyyah writes:

It is permissible to [to recite du’as, and then] blow upon the sick in Islam, but the words must be from the Qur’an or Ahadith. If the words are not then it is not permissible.
[Al-Tawasul chapter on Blowing onto the Sick by Hafidh ibn Taymiyyah]

FAQS of wearing Taweez

Q) Some people say, “How is it allowed to blow dua’s onto the sick, when some Hadith say this is forbidden?” 

Allama Sa’idi has written the answer to this question in great detail he’s also put the opinion of all the other great scholars, and we will present this here.

Allama Gulam Rasool Sa’idi writes:

Imam Nawawi Rahmatullah in Sharh Muslim states: ‘there are two types of Ahadith concerning blowing. (Reciting a Du'a and then blowing onto a person.) One of the types is transmitted in Bukhari: ‘There will be people who will enter Paradise without any questioning, who have never been blown upon’. Imam Muslim Rahmatullah has also written a hadith in support of those who do not ask to be blown upon. Imam Bukhari Rahmatullah in the chapter on Tibb (Medicine) has written Du'as, which our Prophet [May Allah bless Him and grant Him peace] recited when doing ‘Damm’ (Reciting a Du'a and then blowing onto a person). Imam Muslim Rahmatullah states in the Chapter on Virtues of the Prophet [May Allah bless Him and grant Him peace] that: when our Prophet [May Allah bless Him and grant Him peace] was ill, the Angel Jibreel came to him and performed the blowing. The above types of Ahadith apparently seem to contradict each other but in reality there is no contradiction.

The former type of Hadith refers to the prohobition of having read something that is not from the Qur’an and Sunnah [ie, something that has pictures, diagrams and words not from the Qur’an] and then blow upon someone. The latter types of Ahadith which permit Damm refer to those Kalimaat (words or verses) which have been taught by the Prophet [May Allah bless Him and grant Him peace]. In the same way as above there are two types of Ahadith concerning Ta’weez. There are many narrations that forbid the use of Ta’weez and also many permitting their use. Imam Qurtubi Rahmatullah wrote in detail about both types of Ahadith concerning Ta'weez: ‘The Ta’weez that are forbidden are those Ta’weez from the time of ignorance, those which are Satanic and contain an element of Shirk'. (Mantar, Voodoo and Magic etc.) The Ta’weez, which are permitted are those written with Du'as, which are evident from Qur’an and Ahadith only. Here are the narrations, which show that it is permitted for a person to put a Ta’weez around his/her neck.

Allama Alusi Hanafi in his Tafsir of the Qur’an writes: According to Imam Malik Rahmatullah ‘It is permitted to put around the neck the Ta’weez written with the name of Allah? Imam Baqir also stated that it is permitted to put such a Ta’weez around the neck of a child. [Rooh-ul-Ma’ani, chapter 15" under verse 97 of Surah Mu'minoon]

Allama Shami Hanafi Rahmatullah writes: 

It is permitted to write a Ta’weez and put it around the neck. He further adds that it would be better if a person recites the Du'as taught by the Prophet (Sallallahu’ alaihi wa sallam.) But if a person cannot read or is too young to recite then it is permitted for that person to put it around the neck
[Rud-ul-Mukhtar chapter Qirat, Sharah Sahih Muslim chapter on Tib by Allama Sa’idi].

To conclude it can be said that those verses that oppose the Qur’an, Shari’ah, or the Sunnah are forbidden to read and also forbidden to put around the neck. But as for the Du'as and verses from the Qur’an and Sunnah it is permitted to be written and put around the neck of a small child or an illiterate or a sick person.

Qasida Burdah Shareef with Lyrics and Translation
Qasida Burdah Shareef with Lyrics and Translation

Qasida Burdah Shareef is written by Imam Sharafuddin Muhammad Al Busiri Ash Shadhili Rahmatullahi Alaih in the praise of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

It is entirely in praise of Muhammad, who is said to have cured the poet of paralysis by appearing to him in a dream and wrapping him in a mantle or cloak

Imam Al-Busiri narrated the circumstances of his inspiration to write the Burdah:

I had composed a number of praise poems for the Prophet, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace, including one that was suggested to me by my friend Zayn al-Dīn Yʿaqūb b. al-Zubayr. Some time after that, I was stricken by fālij (stroke), an illness that paralyzed half of my body. I thought that I would compose this poem, and so I made supplications to the Prophet Muhammad, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace, to intercede for me and (and ask God to) cure me. I repeatedly sang the poem, wept, prayed, and asked for intercession. Then I slept and in my dream, I saw the Prophet, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace. He wiped my face with His blessed hands and covered me in His Mantle (Burdah). Then I woke up and found I was able to walk; so I got up and left my house. I had told no one about what had happened.

I encountered a Sufi (faqīr) on my way and he said to me: “I want you to give me the poem in which you praise the Prophet, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace.”

I said: “Which one?”

So he said: ”The one that you composed during your sickness.”

Then he recited the first verse and said: “I swear by God that I heard it in a dream last night being sung in the presence of the Prophet Muhammad, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace. I saw the Prophet, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace, was pleased with it and covered the person who sang it with His Mantle.”

So I recited the poem to him and he memorized it and related his vision to other

Woman Rights in Islam : Status of Woman In Islam

Woman Rights in Islam : Status of Woman In Islam


The Holy Qur’an and the Traditions of the Prophet (Hadith or Sunnah) are the sources from which every Muslim woman derives her rights and duties.

Today people think that women are liberated in the West and that the women’s liberation movement began in the 20th century. Actually, the women’s liberation movement was not begun by women, but was revealed by Almighty God in the 7th century to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Islam, fourteen centuries ago, made women equally accountable to God in glorifying and worshiping Him - setting no limits on her moral progress. Also, Islam established a woman’s equality in her humanity with men. Since men and women both came from the same essence, they are equal in their humanity. Neither gender can be superior because it would be a contradiction of equality.

The Muslim woman was given a role, duties and rights 1400 years ago that most women do not enjoy today, even in the West. These are from God and are designed to keep balance in society. What may seem unjust or missing in one place is compensated for or explained in another place. Islam is a complete way of life.



Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manners and kindest to his wife." [Abu Dawud]

With regard to education, both women and men have the same rights and obligations.
This implies men and women. This is clear in Prophet Muhammad's saying:

"Seeking knowledge is mandatory for every believer." [Ibn Majah]

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported, “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “A believer must not hate (his wife) believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics he will be pleased with another.” (Muslim)

Few Hadiths on Woman as Mother in Islam

1) A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim).

2) Abu Usaid Saidi said: We were once sitting with Rasulullah when a man from the tribe of Salmah came and said to him: O Messenger of Allah! do my parents have rights over me even after they have died? And Rasulullah said: Yes. You must pray to Allah to bless them with His Forgiveness and Mercy, fulfill the promises they made to anyone, and respect their relations and their friends (Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah).

3) It is narrated by Asma bint Abu Bakr that during the treaty of Hudaibiyah, her mother, who was then pagan, came to see her from Makkah. Asma informed the Messenger of Allah of her arrival and also that she needed help. He said: Be good to your mother (Bukhari, Muslim).

THE AGONY OF DEATH

THE AGONY OF DEATH



The time of death is a very difficult time. We know that when a person is in intense pain or in severe fever, it is difficult of him to think or make a decision.

Imagine the difficulty during death. If one atom of the pain at the time of death has to be dropped onto the people of the earth and skies, then every one of them will die.

Now imagine how difficult it is to remain steadfast in Imaan, if the shayateen take the form of our parents and mislead us at the time of death?

It is narrated in Kimya-e-Sa’aadat, that Hazrat Abu Darda has stated, “By Allah! No person can be comfortable with not knowing whether his end will be with Imaan or not.”

 Hujattul Islam Imam Ghazzali (rahmatullah alaih) states that the pain during the time of Sakraat-e-Maut is so intense that powerful and brave rulers and intelligent persons lose their minds.

In such a delicate time, shaitan comes with his groups of shayateen, each one portraying family members, friends and elders and try to mislead the dying person, by saying that they have already tasted death and have come to give sympathetic advice.

They ask the person to leave Islam and accept Christianity and Judaism, and they even tell him that Christianity is the greatest religion, since it had made Judaism, the religion of Moosa (alaihis salaam) null and void.

It has been stated that at this time, only those who are firm in Imaan are saved and those who are weak in Imaan fall prey to the deception of Shaitaan and accept his words of deceit.

Always tremble in the fear of Allah. We do not know which one of our actions can unleash the wrath of Allah causing us to lose our Imaan at the time of our death.

We should also control our tongues, since too much unnecessary talk could cause us to say words of infidelity, thus removing us from Islam, which we may not even be aware of.  Strive in trying to protect your Imaan.

Imam-e-Ahle Sunnat Aala Hazrat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan states, “That person who does not fear the loss of Imaan in his lifetime, then there is a definite fear of him losing his Imaan at the time of death.”

Never be lazy in asking for Dua for the protections of Imaan at the time of death.

May Almighty Allah have Mercy on our conditions?

We do not know what our position will be at the time of death. We have sinned so much, that we have not even taken the name of good.

We sincerely Pray, O Allah! Let not the shaitaans come to us at the time of our deaths, But the Holy Prophet should be there to bless us. 
THE VIRTUES OF TAUBA (REPENTANCE)

THE VIRTUES OF TAUBA (REPENTANCE)


To repent from ones sins, is compulsory for every Muslim male and female.

O You Who Believe! Repent intensely by Allah. 

To transgress the commands of Allah and His Rasool is a very grave sin. We should be aware of our sins and repent with sincerity in the Court of Almighty Allah. We should beg Almighty Allah to forgive all our major and minor sins.

Hazrat Imam Ghazzali states that once a person asked an Aalim the following question: When a person repents from his sins, does know whether his repentance has been accepted or not? The learned Aalim replied by saying, There is no definite knowing whether ones repentance has been accepted or not, but there are certain signs that show the acceptance of one’s repentance:

1. He will keep himself protected from sinful acts.
2. Happiness (of the world) will disappear from his heart.
3. He will know that Almighty Allah is present at all times.
4. He will gain closeness to the pious and stay away from the corrupt.
 5. He will engross himself in fulfilling his obligations in the Court of Allah.
6. He will remain silent at all times.
7. He will always think of his past sins and be troubled and saddened by them.

My Dear Muslim Brothers and Sisters! Have you repented from your sins today?

Repent before it is too late. Repent before death comes.

Lets cleanse ourselves with Tauba!

May Almighty Allah bless us all with the taufeeq of Tauba before death!

Aameen

THE RIGHTS & DUTIES OF THE HUSBAND TOWARDS HIS WIFE IN ISLAM

THE RIGHTS & DUTIES OF THE HUSBAND TOWARDS HIS WIFE IN ISLAM

Just as Almighty Allah has made some duties of the wife towards the husband, he has also made some duties of the husband towards his wife. To fulfill these duties is an obligation and means of great blessing.

Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran, There are rights of the husband upon the wife just as there are rights of the wife upon the husband, with kindness.

The Holy Prophet (Sallahu Aliahi Wasalam) said, the best amongst you are those who are kind towards their wives. (Mishkaat Shareef Vol 2 Page 280)

It is also in the Hadith: No believing man should harbor any hatred and ill feeling for any believing women, for if any of hers actions seem bad, then there are also those things in her which are good. (Mishkaat Vol 2 page 280)

This Hadith means, that if a wife has some shortcomings in her, then it does mean that everything about her is not good. She definitely has some good qualities as well.

The husband should thus praise her good qualities and try to rectify her shortcomings.

1. It is an obligation upon every husband, to provide for her food, clothes, house and all other provisions. One must always think that she is a servant of Allah in my Nikah, and she has left her parents and everything else for me. She should thus be properly taken care of.

2. It is also necessary for the husband to fulfill his right as the husband towards his wife, in the sense of satisfying her womanly desires, so that she does not turn towards sin and adultery. This, thus means that the husband should not stay away from his wife for lengthy periods of time.

3. A man should not separate his bed from his wife without reason. Yes, if she acts contrary to his command or against the Islamic law, then he may do so. This however, should not be to cause her pain and torment, but to allow her to realise her wrong doing.

4.It is in the books of Law, that a husband may warn his wife (punish her) by separating his bed etc. if:

(a). She refuses to dress neatly and beautify herself for him

(b). Her husband desires her and she refuses without valid

(c). She does not take Ghusl after intimacy or after her menstrual periods etc.

(d). She leaves Namaaz or any other fardh Ibaadat without valid reason.

5. A man should never look at another woman with bad intention and should never praise the beauty of other women to his wife, and no wife should praise the beauty of another man to her husband.

6. The husband must correct the mistakes of his wife and if she does not accept, then he may be strict.

7. When going on a journey, the husband should inform his wife, and meet her with great love and comfort her before he leaves on a journey.

8. When the wife cooks him a meal, he should not criticize what she has made, but should eat it to please her. If there is something that he does not like he should tell her with great love and not mock or hurt her feelings.

9. If she becomes ill, then it is necessary for him to care and comfort her, so that she feels that he loves and cares for her.

10. He should have full faith and trust in his wife and she should have the same faith and trust in him. Both should not put false accusations on one another, as this leads to the breakup of the marriage and is a sinful act. The husband should also always be clean and dress well when with his wife. He should not embarrass her or shout and threaten her in the presence of others.

11. The husband should not shout at and scold his wife for petty issues and neither should the wife pick on him over petty issues.

12. If there is any dispute between the husband and the wife, they should try to resolve this by themselves with understanding, and if it is not resolved, then it should be put before the elders for advice. A man should never be hasty in giving Talaaq to his wife. He should let his anger subside before he makes any irrational decisions and then think with a calm mind. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said, amongst those things which are Halaal, the one most disliked by Allah is Talaaq. (Abu Dawood Vol 1 page 303)

13. If a person has more than one wife (not more than four), then he must be just with all of them and care for them equally. To take care of one and neglect the others is a sin.

Once a girl becomes an adult, it is necessary for the parents to arrange for her marriage. When arranging for her marriage, be sure to choose a husband for her, who is a Sunni Sahihul Aqida and not and non-mazhab. Find someone who is a religious person, and one who is pious. Remember that Nikah is the Sunnah of the Prophet and a means of gaining piety and being protected from evil.

Almighty Allah has made man the Guardian over the wife. It is for this reason, that it is compulsory upon the wife to be obedient to her husband. Remember, that to please the husband is a great Ibaadat, and to disrespect him and be disobedient to him is a sin. The status of the husband is very exalted.

The Holy Prophet (Sallahu Aliahi Wasalam) said, If I had to command sajdah (prostration) for anyone but Allah, then I would have commanded the women to make sajdah to their husbands. (Mishkaat Shareef Vol.2 Pg.281)

The Holy Prophet (Sallahu Aliahi Wasalam) also said, That woman who passes away from this world in this way, that her husband was pleased with her, then she will enter into Jannat.

1. The wife should not leave the home to go anywhere without the permission of her husband.

 2. In the absence of the husband, the wife should not give any belongings of her husband to any person. In his absence, it is an obligation upon her to protect all his belongings, and without his permission, she should not allow any person into the home.

3. A women should never do any such action that will cause the husband to become upset.

4. To care and educate the children in the absence of the husband is also a great duty for her.

5. It is necessary for her to keep herself pure and clean at all times, always dressing neatly and looking presentable, so that her husband may be pleased when he looks at her.

6. It is necessary for every wife to understand the manner and habits of her husband, in other words, to know his likes and dislikes and not to act contrary to these.

7. It is from her duties not to become angry when he says anything to her and not to argue or backtalk with him. Rather she should comfort and calm him if he is upset.

8. She should not be demanding and should try her best to live in accordance with his income and not beyond his means. She should not be wasteful with his wealth.

9. As long as her in laws are alive, it is necessary for her to respect them. Never disappoint your husband’s parents.

Islam is against terrorism and violence

Islam is against terrorism and violence


What does Islam say about terrorism?

Its very unfortunate today that Terrorism of any sort is always related to Islam and Jihad. A few extereme elements in the clan often misinterprete the teaching of the holy Qurn and present the world all wrong deeds in name of Islam and Jihad.

And due to such elements, Islam stands to often blamed.

But did any one try to understand the teachings of Islam, Its Prophet and the Quran. Who gave you the right to kill in name of Islam? Who are you to kill the innocent people in name of Islam? Are you A MUSLIM? The Answer is NO. You are not a Muslim. You are not a true follower of Islam and its te4chings. If you were a true follower of islam you would not have dared to do such heinious crime.

The Glorious Qur’an says:
And do not kill those souls whom Allaah has prohibited unless [justified by] a due [legal] right {Surah Al-An'am : 6:151}
The Messenger of Allaah said, in an authentic hadeeth reported by imam al-Bukhari,
Whoever kills a non-Muslim who has an agreement with the Muslims then he will not smell the fragrance of Paradise
Our religion of Islaam prohibits transgression and oppression. It prohibits oppression even if this transgression is against someone that we hate. It is still impermissible. We have to be just when dealing with everyone.

Allaah, the Most High, said,
 And do not let the hatred of a people cause you not to be just. Be just, because it is closer to piety 
Some of the verses of Qran below:
"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes, that you should show them kindness and deal justly with them. God loves just dealers." [Noble Quran 60:8]
"Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not begin aggression, for God loves not aggressors." [Noble Quran 2:190]
"If they seek peace, then seek you peace and trust in God for He is the Hearer, the Knower." [Noble Quran 8:61]
" and let not the hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is next to piety; and fear Allah, for Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do." [Noble Quran 5:8]
"But (remember that an attempt at) requiting evil may, too, become an evil: hence whoever pardons (his foe) and makes peace, his reward rests with Allah- for, verily He does not love transgressors." [Noble Quran 42:40]
"The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! He between whom and thee there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a bosom friend. [Noble Quran 41:34]
Some of the Prophet Muhammad's Teachings (Sunnah)

  • He prohibited Muslim soldiers from killing women, children and the elderly, or cut a palm tree, and he advised them, "do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child."
  • "Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years."
  • "The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed." Killing is the second major sin in Islam.]
  • "There is a reward for kindness shown to every living animal or human."
  • From the above teachings how can you decide Islam is a religions of violence. Those who fight and create loss to humanity have never understood the teachings of Islam and Quran.
Islam is a reliegion of peace and love.

The message of the Quran is clear as we have seen, that the sanctity of any human life is to be respected and any violation in that regard is paramount to the worst crime.  Mercy is at the heart of the Islamic call, “We sent thee (O Muhammad) not save as a mercy for the peoples” (21:107); a totally different message to what the terrorists are sadly imparting to humanity.

Importance of father in one’s life

Importance of father in one’s life

Mothers are the Soul of our homes... whereas fathers are their very existence.

But have we ever given much thought to the nature of this existence?

Little is written or said about fathers, even though we understand their value in our lives.

We hardly ever hear anyone talk about fathers...
Mothers are made of an ocean of tears. Fathers are a wall of self-control.

Mothers relieve their pain through tears, fathers only console, and it is harder to console than it is to cry.

Surely the candlestick is hotter than the flame, yet it is always the flame which gets the praise.

We remember mothers as the ones who took care of our daily needs, yet how easily we forget fathers, who arrange finances for daily needs!

Mothers can cry uncontrollably in public, and fathers sob in their pillows at night.

Mothers are allowed to cry; fathers can never be seen in tears.

We can notice the patches on his shoes. His tattered vest is a sure sign of the struggle he gone through. His unshaven beard is a sign of his frugality. He will buy new pairs of expensive jeans for his children, while an old pair of pyjamas will do for him.

While children don’t blink an eyelid when they spend 1000's of Rs in a beauty parlour or salon, yet in their own home, a father may be using talcum soap to shave because his shaving cream is finished, or he might be shaving in just water.

When a father is ill, he does not rush to the doctor. He does not fear his illness but is afraid in case the doctor tells him to rest for a month, as there will be no other bread earner in the family.

Whether he can afford it or not, he works hard to get his son admitted to an engineering or medical course. Despite the shortage of funds he send money regularly to his child at university even some children go on a gala spending spree on the same day the money arrives.

The Father is the existence of the  home. The home is secure from outsiders when a father, in the form of its manger, is alive. He holds the position of the chief executive of the household. He sees, repairs and cares for jobs around the house.

When you announce your exam results, it seems that mother is the closest person to you because she takes you in her arms, praises you and blesses you, but no one notices the father who quietly slips away to the sweet shop to get sweets to distribute among family and friends...

ALLAH made paradise under the feet of your mother but he made the father take care of the thorns under your feet....

♢ Salute to All Fathers of the world.

Ahadith on Fasting and Ramadan

Ahadith on Fasting and Ramadan

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): One who while fasting does not guard his tongue from telling lies and does not refrain from bad deeds, is not respecting his fast. Allah does not approve of mere abstention from food. He (pbuh), also said: Fast and you shall be healthy.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): When you are fasting, you should not speak ill of anybody, nor should you be rough and noisy. If anybody speaks ill of you or tries to pick a quarrel with you, reply him not, but say to him that you are fasting.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): A person gets the same reward by reciting in this month, one
verse of the Holy Qur’an, as others do by reciting the whole of the Qur’an in other months.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): Whoever is prevented from food that he likes, because of his fast, Allah will feed him from the food of Heaven and from its drink.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): If people understood what good there was in Ramadan, they would have liked that it last for a year.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): Unfortunate is the person who is deprived of the forgiveness of Allah during this great month.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): Whoever is not forgiven in the month of Ramadan, and then in which month will he be forgiven?

Imam Ali (pbuh): The sleep of a fasting person is worship, his silence is glorification (of Allah), his prayers are answered and his actions are multiplied.

Imam Ali (pbuh): Many persons get nothing out of their fasts but hunger and thirst; many more get nothing out of their night prayers but exertions and sleepless nights. Wise and sagacious persons are praiseworthy even if they do not fast and sleep during the nights.

Imam Ali (pbuh): The prayer of a fasting person at the time of Iftar is never rejected.

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (pbuh): O Jabir! Whoever during the month of Ramadan, fasts in
its days, stands up for prayers in parts of the night, controls his desires and emotions, puts a rein on his tongue, keeps his eyes down, and does not injure the feelings of others, will become as free of sins as the day he was born.

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (pbuh): Everything has a spring and the spring of the Qur’an is the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (pbuh): The day of your fast should not be like any ordinary day. When you fast, all your senses - eyes, ears, tongue, hands and feet must fast with you.

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (pbuh): There are two pleasures for a fasting person; one when he breaks his fast, and one when he meets his Lord.

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (pbuh): Fasting is a protection from the fire.
