I pray that Insha Allah, I will get a husband wo will treat me according to the Shariah. Sometimes I get scared that I might get maried to one who will not treat me Islamically..
I hope I will also treat him according to the sunnah...
How beautiful is this? -> You marry one another with the intention that; I will try to bring this person to Paradise with me ~ Sheikh Usama Abdul Ghani
The lecture is titled the "Importance of Following the Sahaba", what about the importance of following the Prophet (pbuh)? Did he ask Khadijah to stay home and raise his children? Please remember that it is her wealth/business that enables the prophet to (take time off and NOT work) to meditate, help free the slaves that converts to Islam in the early days. Her protection and connection that enables the prophet to keep ministering relatively safe from 610 (1st wahyu)-619when Khadijah died.
i totally get what he is saying but concerning the times we live in 2 wages im sure makes a big difference also allah liberated women by allowing them to work... just thought id stop some raging feminists while theyre ahead
asalaamalaikum, with all due respect to this sheikh. he's given better lectures. dont agree that there are very minimal jobs that are cool in Islam for women to do (engineering a no?!). ideally a woman should never compromise her position as a mother or responsibilities as a wife. however shes STILL working for Allah when she is able to earn money for her family &inshaAllah its counted as a charity. not all women are mothers or wives or having righteous mahram by their sides. speech was narrow.
@madeenable walakum o asalam. Dear Sisters, it is you who plays the integral role of raising our children (in most households) & its your efforts that steer our children to their upbringing. Indeed, it was the sacrifice of the mothers of the Imam Maliks and Sufyaan ath-Thawris that raised scholars. Raise your children in a righteous household & bring them up amongst the Quran! Teach them Quran, manners, and concern for the ahkirah, in'sha'Allah!
@bachamazar no one is saying that mothers SHOULD be ignoring their families, but to say that there are not many jobs out there appropriate for sisters or that women don't have any business getting into engineering IS narrow. some women who are widows, divorced, without mahram &those even with mahram NEED to get out &work in dignified positions which may be better for them in the sight of Allah than staying home all day waiting for charity or wasting time, they can be productive elsewhere.
@madeenable I get the sheiks point but it's easier said than done!!! I totally agree with you! Not every woman is that lucky ...divorced, widow or a no good husband etc. For instance I am single and I have to work! It's better than to sit and wait...holding up my hand...and waste time. Every woman situation is different!
sorry, but Khadija (RA) was a camel trader, Aishah (RA) was the first ever female scholar & used to work at the market. You make a point about raising your family etc etc, I'm a single mother as my husband was NOT a good man. I had to WORK to leave him. I still WORK to feed my kids. Sorry, but as long as you don't transgress the rules of Islam, there is no ruling which says a woman can't work. Men aren't intellectually different - I've met some very stupid men in my time.
Alhumdulillah! Finally, someone with some sense! Finally, someone who's not being dictated by the norms of society! Many Muslim men are afraid to speak out the truth out of fear of being labeled. I'm a Muslim woman and I agree with EVERYTHING the brother just said! I am working, but that's because I have no choice! If I had the choice, you better believe I wouldn't step out expect for need! Sister, take advantage! It's a RIGHT! Not an oppression as society wants to make it sound! WAKE UP!
I have so much respect for this brother and his opinion. I am a professional woman, Muslima, wife and mother. My children are now adults, my husband is a tolerant and strong man and he has no problem with me returning to school now that my children are adults with families of their own. I have earned an advance degree as a clinical counselor. What is there for me at home all day? Getting fat? Becoming senile in my mind? I feel like a bigger helper to my mate now that I can earn money.
@shariah51 Salam Sister, there is a lot you can do at home. You can learn your Din, you can teach it to others, you say that your kids are grown up with families of their own, are they as close to Allah as they can be, are you? Knowledge is the key to coming closer to Him, especially of the Quran. So at home you can worship Allah and learn His Din, coming closer to Him. This is my suggestion, I do not know your exact situation. If as a counselor you mix with men then maybe it not best
Very disappointing from a girl's point of view. What if she studied all her life and in the end she can't become what she wants to be just because her husband doesn't want to? I agree with some part of his lecture though. My mother is a gynecologist and I grew up with babysitters for most of the time. Also I have noticed my mother working double i.e. working outside and also at home. I think women should have less working hours than men so that they can have time for their family as well.
@Asemahdi3 Salam sister, the goal of all of us should be to a good slave of Allah. This is the reason why He created us. Even as a sister growing up you should bear this in mind. You have the most important job of bringing up the future generations of our Ummah, is this not more noble than a programmer or engineer? So spend your time studying Din. You can still study secular (science, math, etc) to teach your kids and maybe to teach in Islamic school.
i have worked. and let me tell you that once i stopped working i felt so much better! why should i be a slave at work from 9-5 everyday! and for what? i knew old women who were still working, and why? bocz they had to pay off their mortgage..ridiculous..alhamdulillah for islam.
This is so true, it emphasis how important family is, and that a mothers role is so critical in society now days then ever before. When a man works, it is only part of his real job, which is the home.
Exactly where is it said that woman can't work? Give me reference. In this era people like you can not fool me by selling your own opinion. Sharia ? You got to be kidding me! I obey Allah and Allah only and follow his sent Messenger Muhammad (pbuh).
I cant believe I just admired this guy a moment ago, what a shame. This man just proves that he is Pakistani, nothing else. People who says without mom home is chaos, hey you, is mom not human being ? she has feelings just like you, remember that.
mate a woman can work but widin the limits of shariah and the same goes for men too. mate every scholar has its good and bad b/c no 1 is perfect. if u dont like his view of women not workn thats fine but plz dont insult him or anytihng.
but wat u shud realize is that as a woman u shud give preference to YOUR family first b/c ur man will be already earning. so naturally u wont b able to give 100% to both ur children husband AND ur job.
@younib100 well mate, woman is also a human. the way he was saying IF your father or husband permits! whaaaat ? You serious ? No mate I don't think you can tell me what I want to do. My mother never worked in her golden age cuz she was busy raising me. You see mate I have always thought it is unfair because she is brilliant and compare to what she could have done I have done nothing. its the worlds loss not gain.
in Islam silence is also a yes. so if ur dad/husband whoever didnt say no then it is a yes esp ur husband if he didnt say anything at the time of Nikah then it will b take as he allowed to work b/c he idnt say odawise. plus u can put conditions in Nikah contract as conditions like i'll work N u wont stp me etc yaar. there r tons of other Islamic options u can do to get around this if it really bothers u but the point is i guess v r only interested in criticing people.
@younib100 yes if someone choose not to work thats different but ppl have different mind sets. if you think working is only about money then I don't think you will get a single word of what I am saying. What you are demanding is that she can't have her own life. Its being extremely selfish.
and I used to like this guy a lot, listened to his lectures but doesn't mean I can not criticize him. Yes he gave his own opinion but he SHOULD NOT link it with islam.
@meheem as for being *extremely selfish* about *demanding women* not having job no it isnt selfish to expect a woman not to have a job. u'll understand wen u'll become a wife/mother etc. if u can manage it May Allah bless u odawise mind sets get changed wen situations change.
@meheem YQ's opinion is the Islamic opinion. If you study Quran and hadith you would see this. Allah gave women the role of raising children and making a home and men the role of working outside. What do you mean by "her own life", we are all slaves of Allah. So we are pleased with what He chose for us. Both my wife and I struggle in our own ways to provide for our children and to bring them up to be good slaves of Him. But through our efforts, we worship Him. This is the purpose of life
I pray that Insha Allah, I will get a husband wo will treat me according to the Shariah. Sometimes I get scared that I might get maried to one who will not treat me Islamically..
I hope I will also treat him according to the sunnah...
