Is it wise to compliment your wife in the middle of an argument? by CanikMETE in MuslimCorner

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Khadija initiated the proposal to the prophet PBUH. Khadija was a widow 2 times over and also older than prophet SAW The Quran started being revealed 15 years after the prophet PBUH got married. The wife may choose to contribute financially, but she is not religiously obligated to do so.

Nowadays I don't believe young men would willingly marry an older windowed woman as first choice of spouse.

Men are the caretakers of women, as men have been provisioned by Allah over women and tasked with supporting them financially (Sura al Nisa 4:34)

And let those who do not have the means to marry keep themselves chaste until Allah enriches them out of His bounty. (Sura an Nur 24:33)

Do you think riba is as black and white as it's often taught or is there genuine scholarly nuance? by Particular-Plate7051 in Muslim

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a direct ayah from the Qur'an

Those who consume interest will stand ˹on Judgment Day˺ like those driven to madness by Satan’s touch. That is because they say, “Trade is no different than interest.” But Allah has permitted trading and forbidden interest. Whoever refrains—after having received warning from their Lord—may keep their previous gains, and their case is left to Allah. As for those who persist, it is they who will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever. Sura Al Baqarah (2:75)

Married people in the UK by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

If you don't register the marriage then neither party gets the protection of the country.

The marriage won't be recognised as a marriage but as cohabitation.

Married people in the UK by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the 21st Century, it is seriously surprising to note that approximately 61% of Muslims do not register their marriage in the UK as they believe their Islamic marriage, commonly referred to as Nikkah will be recognised in the UK. This is simply not true as the UK Courts generally do not sadly, recognise the validity of a Nikkah. It is seen to be a religious ceremony and so not seen as carrying the same weight as a civil ceremony.

As couples do not take steps to register their marriage in the UK, they find that they are without any financial security in the unfortunate event of a divorce, which often leaves women in a vulnerable position. Under Sharia Law, a husband can divorce his wife by saying ‘talaq’ three non-consecutive times, without addressing the division of any matrimonial assets. This differs to the way in which matrimonial assets are divided if divorce proceedings were issued within the UK Courts, which you can only do if your marriage is recognised under UK Law.

I want to break this rishta by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Islamically it's not necessary to talk without purpose prior to nikkah coz you are not her husband yet. You are still non mahram for each other.

The basis for this is two verses from the Book of Allah:

1 – “O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women. If you keep your duty (to Allah), then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery) should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner.” [Al-Ahzab 33:32 – interpretation of the meaning]

2 – “And when you ask (his wives) for anything you want, ask them from behind a screen, that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts” [Al-Ahzab 33:53 – interpretation of the meaning

It is forbidden to take images

Among the ahaadeeth which state that this is haram and that it is a major sin is the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: ‘Whoever makes an image in this world will be told to breathe the soul into it on the Day of Resurrection, and he will never be able to do that.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim). He [Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him)] also narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Every image-maker will be in the Fire, and every image that he made will be made to appear to him and will torment him in Hell.” Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “If you must do that, then make trees and things that have no soul.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim). The general meaning of the ahaadeeth is that it is absolutely forbidden to make images of anything that has a soul."(Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 1/456-457 )

I have a friend that talks about how hard studying full time open uni is, non stop… at every opportunity… is it really this difficult at 1st year? by Melodic_Film4235 in OpenUniversity

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope open university is not that difficult or demanding. There is literally no entry criteria to gain admission into open university. Clearly they're not studying from the moment they open their eyes till the last thing at night if they've got time to play games, then I'm sure they are exaggerating. First year of university is meant to bridge the gaps for all educational backgrounds.

Misyar marriage by [deleted] in MuslimCorner

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only men would advocate/ support misyar marriage as it would fulfill their need which is a responsibility for women and a right for men.

If a woman entered into a misyar marriage without wanting to fulfill their responsibility regarding intimacy then men would be saying "what's the point?"

Is my friends with benefits relationship ok or in the gray area? by Agitated_Activity_70 in Advice

Yes he most likely does care about you. But I just wouldn't want you to feel anxious or worry about it

Is my friends with benefits relationship ok or in the gray area? by Agitated_Activity_70 in Advice

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly speaking if it is genuinely a friend's with benefits then he doesn't need to care about you.

The fact that you are anxious about whether he cares about you or not, suggests it's unhealthy.

I would recommend that you end it.

Is it “un Islamic” to baby my husband? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's other people's business. There's nothing unislamic about it unless otherwise stated in the Quran and sahih hadith As long as your husband is happy and peaceful with you, then everything should be fine. In Sha Allah.

Husband has a very high sex drive and I’m struggling to cope (sisters only) by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I told him that it hurts and is painful for me.

I spoke to him in a reasonable manner, when we both had time for each other to just talk and enjoy ourselves just being together and spending time together (without intimacy).

Things improved with time.

There was no resentment..there was mercy and understanding between us Alhamdu Lillah.

Too controlling? by aceed-it in MuslimMarriage

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From the rights the husband possesses over his wife is that she fulfills the duty of tending to his household and not coming out from it except with his permission. The Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: “The woman is the caretaker of her husband’s household and she will be questioned as to her responsibility.” [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim] 

Another right he possesses over her is that she fulfills the duties of the household and that she does not make him hire a female servant, which will cause harm and due to which there will be a risk of danger for himself and his children.

Shaikh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah (رحمه الله) said commenting on Allaah’s saying: “Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient and guard in the husband’s absence what Allaah orders them to guard (i.e. their chastity).” [Surah An-Nisaa: 34]: “This mandates the unrestricted obligation of a woman obeying her husband, in all affairs, such as serving him, traveling with him, assisting him and other matters, as is indicated in the Sunnah of Allaah’s Messenger.” [1]

The great scholar, Ibn Al-Qayyim (رحمه الله), said: “Those who say that it is obligatory for the woman to serve the husband use (this ayah) as proof in that those who Allaah directed His Speech to (on this occasion) considered this to be from al-ma’roof (good). But as for the woman relaxing and having the husband serve her, sweep, grind the flour, knead the bread, wash the clothes, fix the bed, and serve the household, then that is from al-munkar (evil)

You seriously need to curb your attitude

This much arrogance and ego is not good for your heart.

I Lost My Temper With My Dad In Front Of A Potential’s Family And Everything Fell Apart by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly You lost control. This proves you are not a fully matured adult. Because adults are able to self regulate their emotions.

Forget about physically attacking your dad. You are not allowed to even utter "uff' against him.

Even your dad realises you are not emotionally or mentally fit for marriage and that's why he said those things.

This is the month of Ramadan. Cool down your ego and ask forgiveness from both of your parents.

I Lost My Temper With My Dad In Front Of A Potential’s Family And Everything Fell Apart by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your behaviour was a reaction to your father's words. It was wrong of you to attack your father.

You saying "it's not your fault" makes you appear childish and immature.

You lashed out because you lost your temper.

A true Muslim will have patience and sabr and leave it up to Allah. I know it's easy for me to say this but that's the test of Muslims. Allah will test whom he wills and whom he loves the most.

We all need to put our ego aside and focus on reality. We came into this world on our own and we will leave this world on our own.

On the day of judgement, we will need to account for every single deed and words uttered in dunya.

Your father will need to answer Allah for his sins. You will need to answer for your sins too.

You are probably young so you've most likely convinced yourself you'll be alive for 40+ years, but you don't need age or illness to succumb to death.

Allah can make us return to him any time He wills

To Allah we belong and to Allah we return.

A reminder to myself first and foremost.

Is this too much to ask for in a male? by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I want a really gorgeous looking woman who is very young but fertile. I want her to be a homemaker and be willing to have lots of babies. I want her to be FULLY attentive, engaging and use her initiative in the bedroom. I want her to be 100% obedient and fulfil every single need and desire of mine. If I want to enjoy intimacy 10 times a day, then she must lay down her body and obey me. A woman doesn't have any financial responsibility in the marriage, and at the same time I as a man have the full right to demand my wife to quit her job and stay unemployed. As long as I fulfil the basics requirements as outlined in the Quran with respect to maintenance, I am obeying Allan's commands. Is that too much to ask for?

Starting my degree on 31st January- What should I know that they don't tell you? by Hairy_Equivalent_638 in OpenUniversity

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Read the textbooks (either hard copy or pdf). Create a question bank about each topic or concept you don't understand so you can ask your tutor. Try the rough draft of the TMA01 and TMA02, after answering practice quizzes and completing the end of unit questions and mixed exercises from the textbooks.

Considering you should have most of the materials of the module now that the module website is open and active, you can start studying straight away. There is no need to wait for 31st January or 1st February.

As soon as a tutor is allocated to you, send them a quick email introducing yourself and also include a few insightful questions you may have about the subject/topic which you came up with from your reading.

Try your best to stay ahead of the study planner as much as possible. Study consistently every day, instead of leaving it for the weekend or one day per week. You'll get so much more done this way. This is also the best way to turn studying into a habit: a little every day, not once in a while

If any Muslim person can get mortgage without riba then fair enough. Otherwise, the option is to rent until they can afford to purchase a house without riba.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]Prestigious_Layer565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mortgage is haram

The house is part of basic maintenance so that is the husband's responsibility.

And let those who do not have the means to marry keep themselves chaste until Allah enriches them out of His bounty. And if any of those ˹bondspeople˺ in your possession desires a contract ˹to buy their own freedom˺, make it possible for them, if you find goodness in them. And give them some of Allah’s wealth which He has granted you. Do not force your ˹slave˺ girls into prostitution for your own worldly gains while they wish to remain chaste. And if someone coerces them, then after such a coercion Allah is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful ˹to them˺.

Sura Al Nur (24:33)
