Just to contrast, there are examples of Abu Eesa unequivocally defending one of those preachers, who was blatantly excacerbating this fitna on social media, when said preacher made some extremely problematic creedal statements of a khaariji nature.
Judgements are based on sitting down with people, carefully and properly, and understanding exactly what they mean. Compare the above with the white knight-ery and opportunism demonstrated by some preachers during this farce, some of whom are allegedly guardians of our scholarly tradition. Aly Balagamwala. Jazakallah Khairain Sheikh. May Allah increase you in honour and believe when I say this I will be making duaa throughout the day on this Friday for Al Maghrib and its staff.
But enough emotionalisms, this is truly a well written piece, though I must express my dire concern regarding your countrymen and your countrywomen. There are a lot of great things about America, food, landscape, generally friendly, and laborious people. When the Ottoman Empire was on the demise, the worst kind of Turkish arrogance and nationalism came to surface within its privileged Turkish peoples.
Similarly, when America was great it explored cultures and took them for what they were, different. So they set about judging it through their cultural and societal norms. We know that Americans are hyper sensitive when it comes to issues of race and gender, and rightly so as they have a horrendous history dealing with both, but they should keep their judgement to themselves.
Couple this with the arrogance of seeing everyone as subject to their standards, because well, Americans know better than the savages. We are not your loyal subjects, and you are no longer the sole power on Earth, as proven thoroughly and equivocally in Crimea.
Reading this balanced post has made me feel better about this. JazakAllah khayr. We all make mistakes.. There is much to challenge in this long message written by Qadhi.
Beautiful mashaAllah sheikh Yasir…may Allah bless you with the best of the best of this life and the hereafter and may He continue to guide us towards what pleases Him through you. It made its way to hundreds of thousands of Facebook pages, tweets, Buzzfeed piece, etc. He wrote that he was issuing a fatwa supporting these acts. Is that not a joke?
Why are you denying it? You explicitly, intentionally or not, took a quote out of a context and made it seem like he was joking about it. Rape, FGM, etc. The person he was replying to was accusing him of supporting those things, so in exasperation he affirmed her position.
He did not joke about it, if anything the sister who so casually assumed such from his jokes alone that he was for such things is to be blamed.
Please read the comments in the screenshots by going to the following link as the reply option does not allow attachment of images to have some idea about the context:. There is no place for such language in a Muslim or non Muslim community. AE warranted the attention and criticism that he got. Friend or relative or favourite scholar, one should not condone such ill behaviour.
If AE was a western or non Muslim who made comments like this about Muslim women, for sure many Muslims will be bashing this person and probably attack his embassy and what not. Proper behaviour is expected on all as humans. Not just cos he is Muslim, he gets off easily of all the hurt he has caused.
Everyone may deserve second chances, but the trust that was broken will never be mended perfectly. It will be difficult to see him in a better light as a scholar, without remembering the hurtful words he has uttered. Jazak Allahu Khairun for your article. Scholars have a greater test than the rest of Ummah, I should think scholars need to be more careful of what they say or write, since any and every thing that leaves our mouth an ever ready angel is there to record it.
Although you did say you think he made a mistake, but your latter support kind of cancelled it out. I would once again say, please remember scholars have a greater test than anyone else. You are supposed to be an Imam, teacher, scholar, and supposed to be above these kind of things. Imagine Ibn Taimiyyah in a fight of words with an average lay man person, or Hasan Al Basri going off on a rampage about women because other women who might not be on the right path are celebrating something?
While I can understand a person is no angel, allowances can and should be made for mistakes. However, please remember not saying anything at all is better than saying something which can become a cause of fitnah.
Agreed we need work to ensure their rights. I would like to point out that the extreme gender segregation found in the muslim community is one of the major cause of the present women position.
This was never the intent of Islam. Alhamdullillah — You are not one of them. JazaKAllah for calling a spade a spade and I, amongst Many Muslims trully support the assessment you have made Sheikh.
But I do have a very humble request. In Light of this Debacle — Do we have any Safebacks, any contingencies, any set of Practical Rules and Measures that such a thing does not happen again? Abu Eesa is touted by Maghrib as a scholar and as such this lack of adab is not something trivial at all. Should he be burned at the stake? No, of course not people make mistakes. But this does belie a serious lack of understanding of Islamic etiquette and its disconcerting to read the tepid responses from his employer and friend.
Sh Yasir as a friend you are absolutely right, be there for him and dont abandon, and more importantly help him get a better understanding of basic Islamic adab. One could never imagine you doing something like this…. This is 10x worse, since he has been receiving sincere advice from a close friend all this time and yet he is unable to admit a mistake, even after seeing the repercussions of the actions he has been warned against. They have role models among the shuyookh for that now.
But at the same time, should we be taking such people as scholars of the religion, since a Muslim scholar should emulate the Prophet saws , and the Prophet saws said that he was only sent to perfect good manners? The others in that thread were accusing him of supporting such things based on his jokes, and he responded affirming their ridiculous slander. Those with an agenda continue to insist his sarcasm be taken as a joke or even seriously. Talk about bad adab.
Bad adab? A number of things contribute to internet comments getting taken the wrong way. But I find it interesting that we are parsing sarcasm from jokes. Actually, I find it absurd. No one is parsing jokes and criticism.
It has been obvious from the first that AE was speaking sarcastically in response to the hyperbolic and overinflated accusations being made against him. A falsehood was not intended, nor conveyed. No one except the slanderers took that for a serious statement or even a joke.
Salamalaykum, and thank you for this. It moved me to tears towards the end. This is why I love my teachers. May Allah swt bless you and yours with the best of both worlds — Ameen… and keep us forever illuminated in our teachers light — benefiting from whatever knowledge we can gain of our Maker, through them — Ameen! JazakumAllahu khairan katheeran. I think this all boils down to semantics, on a large level, as well. I am not an Al-Maghrib adherent, nor am I a feminist, just an average struggling Muslim.
But I can see how this word played a role in confusing scholars and the masses as well. Maria Moreira. But I have read many posts from Abu Eesa himself stubbornly triying to go out of this mess as a victim, which he certainly is not.
May Allah bless you. I would give up a spot in Al Firdaus for you for the sake of Allah. After him your efforts and knowledge is a blessing of a lifetime. In fact, he did joke about these things. I saw his comment on his own page, with my own eyes. He wrote:. Lads, feel free to do all of the above. I give you the fatwa to do it dammit!
Perhaps you are not aware that Abu Easa made this comment, or you believe that someone else hacked his account and wrote it in his name. AE says he was being sarcastic. What is sarcasm but a form of contemptuous or ironical joking? What kind of mind says such things, even in sarcasm? I have nothing invested. I am going only by his own words, and on that level I find it shocking that he is in a position to influence young Muslim minds.
I know that many people think and behave like this, but they do not normally teach at respected Islamic institutions, at least not in the West. What about that last line? People keep saying he apologized three times. I saw not one sincere, unequivocal apology on his page. In fact, on March 11th he wrote:.
There was nothing haram or makruh done. Sensitive, edgy, perhaps. I admire the fact that you stand by your friend, ma-sha-Allah. I do not suggest that he should be ostracized, or that you should denounce him as a human being. But he does not belong in a teaching position. He quickly contacted the Islamic Assembly of North America IANA , and was able to convince them to participate in the conference to represent the Islamic point of view. His visionary abilities were used to the fullest.
Al-Timimi translated that book into English and secured translators for German, French, Swahili, and Chinese translations. In Beijing with a small staff of five persons, Al-Timimi was able to direct the focus on the Muslim participation to his own group. The press group in the US would then fax it to over masajid, leading personalities, and the Arabic press.
When I first read that comment, I was similarly disturbed. In fact, if you read my article, I referred to it and how it affected one particular sister who suffered physical abuse. However, when both she and I were given the full context, it changed the entire picture. It is a hyperbole and to be read the reverse of the literal meaning. An exasperated response— yeah blame me for it.
But I hope you can see that it is not what some people are making it out, that AE jokes about rapes…. I get your point but to me, the disturbing part is that he was able to even list those things one by one. Wael Abdelgawad.
I find it intellectually dishonest to state that making a sarcastic remark about rape is not a joke. Your intellectual dishonesty is disappointing, Amad, and Shaikh Yasir Qadhi. The first comment that you quote was in response to another comment made by a sister whose claims were completely out of context itself. That sarcasm was harsh, but YOU are the one taking it out of context.
He should be wiser. Alhamdulillaah for Sh Yasir Qadhi and a balanced reply to the fitna. I agree with the fact that what Ustadh Abu Eesa said that was so bad was blatant sarcasm but I am 64 and thru this fitna have come to understand AE better and how he works.
However it is very wrong to use such form of sarcasm or any sarcasm with young minds who may not understand it for what it is.
I wish theis fitna would end. Should that be disturbing. Jazaak Allaah khayran Sh Yasir Qadhi for your letter. I did feel some relief and peace at least until I read all the following posts. It is interesting to see how Shaitan works. May Allah keep us steadfast. Few days back, the whole social media arena was taken into storm by a beautiful lecture by Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan about Robert Davila. May Allah helps us all from the deceiving of Shaitan. Aameen, Ya Rab-ul-Aalameen. That is depressing, but shows how Sh Yasir didnt properly address this issue.
Saifuddin Rekoj. Not being a scholar or knowledgeable person of any sort, I am afraid whether I should comment like this. The point was not being hurt or terrified to a possible uprise of Extreme-Fundamentalism. But, in practice we are not showing any kind of initiative by the mainstream to address the numerous oppressive cases related to them. As for response to this article, firstly, yes, we are glad, YQ has called for discussion on reform of the divorce rule, but, I am not sure, whether it would be the case, if there were not this AE-gate incident.
Secondly, We cannot just ignore the matter of equality by blaming it to be an western idea. As for the law and order is involved in this notion, we must deal with it face to face, as a school of critical minds. We hope some other ProActive initiatives for this.
May Allah save us from any kind of Fitnah and the big Fitnah of Dajjal that is prophesied by our Rasool sm. I am British. I moved to America. I understand that jokes do not translate well over the Atlantic and anyone who works- albeit part-time- for a U.
S, organization would know that by now. Everyone makes mistakes. Feminists and shayukh alike. One apologizes sincerely and then moves on. Just because someone is a personal friend does not mean they are exempt from common courtesy.
What has prolonged the injury is the nonchalance and the flippancy displayed. Feeling insulted,humiliated and ignored and asking for an apology does not add up to a witch hunt. The articles written on this topic by those who have been hurt by AEs comments have stuck to the facts and these people have not stooped to the level of personal attack. Amatullah Hill. JAK for sharing your wisdom!!!! The nur from your response is lighting up my heart!!!! However, it did just that!!!! May Allah swt continuously increase your wisdom and knowledge, may he guide your tongue to present that wisdom and knowledge in an easy way for the Ummah to hear and understand, may he soften hearts that read this, guide us and protect us all.
Salam aleikum! BarakAllahu feek! The article was a great end to the awful week the Islamic blogosphere went through. For a week, anytime I logged into FB I had to bob and weave all the posts about this issue! May Allah forgive for our actions this past week at least we see that we still have a lot of work to do to purify our hearts. Those from a less deprived upbringing do not understand the crass humour of AE because this humour is a type of street humour, think Ali G, unfortunately we are a product of our upbringing.
These jokes are typical of the Muslim types you find growing up in and around Barking. I respect the fact that British non-Muslim scholars will never entertain this type of behavior therefore we as Muslims should expect better from our Scholars.
A fair piece that is balanced, although can anyone look upon the heart and say there is no interest. However the so called humour is not akin to the British but that of a western taste — for me that viewpoint is missed! SubhanAllah-that and the like is a total lie and a clear lie against him. It also clarifies us who the real trouble makers are. Abu Eesa is not even close to being a misogynist-not a fraction of a percent. It is not for us to speak of him like that-anyone even suggesting he is has committed massive slander.
We have watched in dismay how the renowned and trusted British teacher and commentator Abu Eesa Niamatullah is undergoing a character assassination based on the lie that he joked about rape and racism. Unknown individuals released what appeared to be damning screenshots which had been edited and released into the public domain making him out to be racist and apparently joking about rape and FGM.
This is nothing but a slander as has been clarified on his own personal Facebook page with the original links available showing the full posts and comments that actually occurred in mid and then on the 11th of March this year.
This is something completely in line with his reputation as a fun-loving, comedic teacher who often pokes fun lovingly at those he cares for most. Those with an agenda against his work used this to try and create an image of a misogynist, sexist cleric taking advantage of his well known humorous and sarcastic approach in much of his work, and launched a FireAbuEesa campaign with a particular focus on the renowned AlMaghrib Institute where he often teaches many successful classes on a variety of the Islamic sciences.
Many did and many accepted his apologies as has been spread on the internet widely. Yet the vilification of our respected teacher continues. The ironic fact is that in many places in the UK where he has taught which have long-standing misogynistic attitudes to female access to quality education etc, he has confronted traditional patriarchal stereotypes within existing Islamic groups and mosques and urged them to change their protocols and systems to allow greater rights for women.
In his serious lectures and writings, he has done more than most in the UK for launching campaigns for female education, helping widows in war-zones, representing the UK at international WEF symposia on gender issues, and more than anything else after teaching well over 10, students onsite in various locations around the world of which the majority have been women, and online students with his weekly LogicalProgression class of which again the majority of students are women.
As a female student myself, Shaykh Abu Eesa has been nothing but incredible in the way he prioritises women in his classes. Thousands of his female students will defend this fact and testify that the current smear campaign against him is unjust and nothing more than an attempt to undermine the work of excellent Islamic organisations who are under pressure to not support their instructors. I urge you to support this petition in response to all the smearing of our respected teacher, and not allow the peddlers of hate to win.
AlMaghrib Institute and other organisations must promote the real work of this man and allow women to be empowered authentically as I know first hand that I have been. Thank you. Thanks for sharing the petition I definitely will defend my respected brother in Islam. Yasir Qadhi thank you for for this incredible response. Saqib Helal. Are Muslims being too serious or too immature to understand humour? A great balanced article highlighting the issues from both sides. JazakaAllah for this much needed response.
Please do not categorize his critics, scholars and lay people, as a mob of witch hunters. This is no better than AE calling the women feminazis. He chose sarcasm over simple apology and modeled for his students that labeling and name calling is appropriate when you feel you are under scrutiny. Is this the example his thousands of students are to follow?
Should we not expect better from a teacher of adab and siyasa as well as his students? There is enough blame to go around on the matter of adab and neither side is exempt. That is the point,. When a scholar breaches good adab on a public platform, it is incumbent on his peers to rectify him publicly. Scholarship is not a fraternity, bound by promises to stand by each other regardless of wrong.
Please note that the circles of shuyukh did not respond immediately. He was given ample time to redress his wrongs. It is the obligation of sound scholars to refute him publicly for the benefit of the community.
I for one am so grateful to them for having done so. Every one of us is flawed. Stubborness is born out of arrogance. May this be the event that helps Abu Eesa rectify this weakness and be the scholar we can all look up to. Our times truly need leaders. May the two of you be among the sound leaders of our era with humility before the community. As I stated in my tweet to you, my sincere advice to almaghrib instructors is to volunteer at a rape crisis center or DV shelter for a month instead of teaching.
Thank you for putting this issue into perspective for a lot of people. I too am disheartened at how far people went with their reactions and pray Allah guides us toward compassion and His mercy. Yasi Sho.
Assalamu Aleikom Wa Rahmatullah wa barakato, Sadly enough the most clear thing out of this whole story is that still a lot of Muslims need to work very, very hard on their good akhlak. Because in a result of that they lack good manners and sincerity.
Demanding an apology from somebody and mind you — doing it publicly, only speaks to that. Really this issue needs no more discussions as they only make the fly grow in to an elephant. Next time a non Muslim politician puts an anti-muslim statement out there, I want you to think in the way you are suggesting we do in this instance.
Just forgive him bro. Just have good akhlaq and turn the other cheek, bro. Abu Eesa does. Dear yasir qadhi as a scholar of faith and keeper of a sacred position you should consider this. What are you asking women to do that you and other men as a collective would not? Please remind me. Wright, unlike your friend, apologized for what he had said.
Shaykh AE has apologized several times in public, and several hundreds of times in private, to people who took offense, as that was not his intention.
I read YA as saying that Rev. I would like the laws in the USA to reflect amounts put into trust for the wife each year of marriage and for each child for each year of life of the child. This way, there is no way that wife or child will be subject to the whims of the judicial system in the event of the marriage dissolving. Salaam thank you for your response.
We are all human. None of us is perfect. Mah Allah guide us all. Imam Muhammad Abuelezz. This is a wonderful article. I liked the idea of reform in alimony law however I know it is not the theme of the article. It is the first time to read someone talks about that problem of Muslim women especially those who live in the west. A Muslim woman feels guilty by taking a spousal support after divorce even if she is in need and has no other relatives to support and men consider that to be unjust due to going to a non-Muslim court.
That reform makes it possible that a spousal support could be legitimize especially if it is conditioned in the marriage contract from the beginning. Anyway thst matter may need more study and regulations. An observation if I may… Sheikh.
Centuries of exploitation, oppression and powerlesness lie behind those jokes and in the hearts and memories and, in many instances, still in the lives, of the oppressed. I might suggest you deal with both topics distinctly so as not to confuse them and people reading them.
Somewhat related are the principles behind crisis communications which I might refer you to sheikh for your interest, or at least Abou eesa and al magrib. Agree with the above comment. This matter should rest here. They will anyway. The issue is unresolved for many people apparently. I completely agree with him. As a famous Not going to expose him Shaykh said in his lecture. If you want to convey message quickly, email.
Faster than email female! This is a horrible response. And comparing the critics to calling for a witch hunt is also horrible. None of these critics have been calling for violence; they are calling for accountability and justice. Reflect on that. This tone policing is all about control, derailing from the main issue, and vilifying these Muslim women who are speaking up. As a Muslim man, I find this response, as well as the response from AlMaghrib, to be incredibly shameful.
Not only does this lack of accountability reinforce sexism and misogyny, but they also work to destabilize our communities and make us more vulnerable to the white supremacist forces that want to destroy us.
If you want to talk all about fitna, then look at how much fitna sexist oppression within our communities is causing. Look at the connections between sexism and sexual violence within our communities and how it enables violence against our communities from white supremacy.
Changing the alimony laws. This is exactly the feminist induce erosion of our values Abu Eesa is taking about! This was the most balanced and Honest analysis of the entire incident. I agree with every single word! Salaam — I respect Sh. Yasir and love hearing your input. However, on this issue, I have to disagree. Not every issue requires a nuanced, 7 point response. Imam Suhaib Webb is right on this one.
This is even more true in his position as a community leader and public figure. I admire your inclination to err on the side of loyalty. But your friend and colleague was simply wrong. The initial Fitna was caused by Abu Eesa. His stubbornness and his decision to engage in sarcasm to attack the legitimate critics furthered that Fitna!
No matter how long he knew that person or how good of a person they were. I highly doubt it. No one is or was asking Yasir Qadhi to abandon his friend and to analogize this situation to the things that Rev Wright said about America and his friendship with Obama is a fallacious argument!
What the people who criticize Abu Eesa were asking for was for him to be accountable for his actions. He is a public figure. There was no hidden agenda to tear down Abu Eesa by other sheikhs scholars. I commend those people who are in the public eye for speaking up and out about this situation when many like Yasir QAdhi and Magrhib were silent. Abu Eesa made a mistake. But he apologized; now move on with life. What more do you want?
People like you just want to damn people for eternity. Emotion is part of being human. Abu Musa, please point out where did I write that i wanted anyone to kiss my feet? Saqib Ali SAQ1. Never knew he had it in him, Abu Eesa must be rubbing off on him. The Salafi Feminist. Like it or not the truth will always prevail. In your 2nd point you said that Abu Eesa joked about IWD, but that he never made a single joke about violence toward women, rape, FGM, or domestic violence.
You are wrong, but it is an understandable mistake. Lads, feel free to do all the above. I never joked about FGM. Anyone who believes otherwise is quoting me completely out of context. I understand that you missed it, because you are his friend and are thus prone to believe him when he said he never joked about such things. I, however, am an English major with 15 years experience as an English teacher, and an American convert whose mother-tongue is English.
In your point 2, you say that people tend to see the world in the same way as their group rather than look at the facts.
You are a good Muslim who does not lie and does not say hurtful things. So you see your friends as being the same as you and give them the benefit of the doubt. I suggest you step back, and look at your friend Abu Eesa with fresh eyes. The company you keep can either help you or harm you. Rather than be harsh, I gave my brother Yasir the benefit of the doubt by suggesting that perhaps he did not see that comment because it was buried in other comments. That is because I am supposed to give my Muslim brother many excuses.
Actually, sarcasm is vitriol. They are synonyms. You keep arguing that Abu Eesa was sarcastic and did not mean what he said. We know that. And sarcasm comes from a Greek word that means to tear the flesh. It is not becoming of our teachers to act is such as way, especially in an global platform. Am I reading this right? Are you trying to isolate a man and destroy his friendship because of a few comments he made? If so, that is absolutely sick. No one is putting a bullet to your head and forcing you to listen to him.
He cares for all Muslims, male and female. If you are bent on vilifying him for a few mistakes he made, go ahead and do so. It is shocking how much dedication you seem to have for pressing the issue even after he has apologized. I want to begin with the salam, because the Prophet pbuh told us we should, and because I truly wish nothing but the peace and blessings of Allah for you and all Muslims , and to remind you and me that as I write to you that I intend no harm.
Your writing suggests you are very close to AE and that you feel personally hurt by any negative comment toward him. The goal of dialogue whether through comments and posts or in person conversation should be to reach the truth together; in which case we all win.
It should not be contest where one side wins or loses the debate. Plenty of others have given him sound advice on his FB, and rather than reflect on that advice and on himself, he says worse things. I am a Sunni Muslim who tries my hardest to follow the Quran and the Sunnah. Part of that is speaking the truth. I commented on this article by Yasir Qadhi because he is a well-respected, widely-renowned Shaikh and that comes with the responsibility.
He mistakenly said something that was misleading, and he has the responsibility to correct that mistake, and stand firm on truth regardless of whether it hurts his friend. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. You can only hide the faults of someone if they themselves attempt to hide them.
AE displayed his faults on a world-wide platform and Yasir increased the reach of that platform with his article. I cannot privately contact Sh. Yasir to inform him of this un-truth he is perpetrating, so I posted the truth here to let the truth be known to others who may read this and think that this bloggers and petition makers made up that quote.
It is my Islamic duty to speak the truth, and I have done that. There is nothing more to be gained through continued posting on the issue. This will be my last post, and I will no longer follow this thread. I hope you do the same to distance yourself from the hurt you are feeling. Very well stated sir and I think this is how conversations should be at this point … heading for closure.
Yes, I agree with Aly on this one…. There is a big difference between saying that someone joked about rape and someone using rape in satirical remarks. The latter can be used in an argument to show the riduculousness of the opponents argument — this is exactly what Abu Eesa did — he neve joked about rape.
Either way, he said it. Even though he did not mean it, he should not have written it. They wrote statements that would make it appear as if Abu Eesa never even wrote the comment in question and they imply that is fabricated by his enemies. I had never heard of this issue, until Yasir posted this.
They would believe what Yasir wrote in his point 2 and think that if they were to take the time, they would find nothing.
Whether you want to call that a sarcastic response or something else is irrelevant. He did, unequivocally, write it. I will give Yasir the benefit of the doubt, and suggest that he was not being deceitful like Abu Eesa, but rather that he believed his friend and failed to see the comment which was buried in a long thread. And whether Yasir wrote this misleading statement out of deception or ignorance, it is something he should retract.
Saying something crude sarcastically does not make it alright to say. Also, sarcasm is worse than a joke. The intentions behind sarcasm to be biting, mean, harmful; whereas the intention behind a joke is to be funny. Sarcasm is not an acceptable refutation in an argument.
Believers hide the faults of other Muslims. Believers look for an excuse. You literally are doing the exact opposite. Are you joking??? Sometimes with a picture of the woman he was responding to and sometimes without. Really, you are trying too hard. Haha Tamer! Remember, I am an English major and teacher.
How did I get through the massive college reading load and hundreds of student essays? Of course I picked up the ability to speed read with comprehension! It seems that Yasir and Abu Eesa are not lying when they say he did not joke about those matters. Yet, sarcasm is a device used in jokes so that is dangerously deceptive. In that context he posted a sarcastic remark, which you have reproduced above. This is the most obvious reading of the posts by Abu-Eesa.
I certainly understand that some people were distressed by the actual jokes posted on his page. However, this should not lead people to slander Abu-Eesa by attributing to him a position which he does not hold. There is also something to be said for reading comprehension in this discussion. I suppose the people accusing him of joking about rape and FGM fall into 3 categories:.
It is wickedess. He is a bully! Good point Kobie. Point number 2 in this article needs to address the elephant in the room: what of the hyperbolic comments? Nobody is forcing you to like AE. This why I truely look up to you. Your have Way Express your thoughts that so easy to undertand. Alla what you just have wrote, is was came to my mind also.
I Cannot help but ponder upon, All that critical that Abu Eysa is recieving, if it is a result of a western implamitation. For really. It amazes my, how a respektable and honnoresable shcolar as AE who have worked so hard to help the ummah, his family and student and friend for so Many years, All of a sidden receiver insencible critisisme, in few days. I also could not help and ponder. That Allah May give our ustadh such a great test, to see how i Can handle it.
Great difficultie would not come to a person who have a great place with Allah. This is why my respekt for AE just increased. May Allah put barakah in is family and teachings affairs.
Look at all the thumbs down on your post. Feminists and others will do whatever they will. Allah aza wa jal is enough to protect AE and the believers from all filth. It is rampant with racist, sexist remarks. How can you stand by him? And if We willed, We could show them to you, and you would know them by their mark; but you will surely know them by the tone of [their] speech.
And Allah knows your deeds. Quran Definitions are important. For someone who spends their entire career in the field of Aqidah surely this is evident!
The reality of feminism is so well known I dont know why you duck the question. Feminism is about eliminating the concept of gender roles and views all traditional family roles as oppressive and backward. Under this ideology neither wife nor husband have any obligations to each other. Feminists know what their aims are. The Prophet saw advocated womens rights by detailing the balanced rights AND responsibilities given to both men and women in Islam.
If there is any nation that demonstrates the diastrous effect of unjust alimony laws it is unquestionably America. If you want to re-write alimony laws then one must question whether the husband is really obligated to provide for any furture wife.
And then we can re-write the inheritance laws. And then you are starting to re-write the whole marriage contract along western secular lines. And that is the feminist victory.
If this issue affected females in the same way then no doubt we would see an avalanche of articles trying to repeal American divorce laws. The wealth is a families wealth. I believe the wealth should be shared equally once the marriage falls apart, since the woman has also invested a great deal of her time and energy into making the home a home and teaching the children, and supporting you in your career. I can tell you from experience, when a man leaves a woman and is miserly after divorcing her, he suffers in the end.
My parents divorced when I was 7 years of age. My Father was very wealthy, and as many men do, started to believe he was the reason for the wealth. My Mother never worked but looked after us all and organised and supported him in the cleaning, shopping, taking care of his appointments.
When he divorced her after 20 years of marriage and replaced her for a much younger wife. He gave my mother nothing of his wealth, just her gold bracelets dowry , he confiscated her British passport and as my Mother could not write English she was unable to read up on her rights. We were taken from her too, and we grew up in the UK with my Father. Sadly, my mother was left to fend for herself, sewing pillows and selling them in her village.
For my Father, well within a year of their divorce, my Father lost everything, all of his wealth, he is still shocked to this day about how quickly this came about, considering how wealthy he was. Within 2 years we were reduced to poverty, we lived off benefits for most of our lives. My Father could never understand how this happened.
My Mother however patiently persevered, she never re-married who wants a female divorcees. She scraped and saved and eventually bought a small house for herself. My Father through his experience is much more humble and has learnt to live off little money.
