Dear readers
asa
Child marriage, multiple marriages, male-female relationships are very
serious issues which need to be discussed in a sober and educated way
to be
beneficial.
Unfortunately the moderator of pakistan forum, Mr. Shahid Mahmud, has
adopted
an attitude towards those he disagrees with which can best be described
as
GHUNDA GARDEY (thug tactics of abuse and insult).
He told Dr. Akhter that if he thinks the hadith about hazrat 'Ayesha's
age
being 6 at the time of marriage is correct, then he should have married
his
own daughter when she was six years old, and other abusive words.
When Br. Nazir mentioned that a hadith approves of a person who has
several
wives, Mr. Mahmud again started foaming at the mouth and told Br. Nazir
to go
marry so many women if he thinks the Hadith is correct.
I pointed out that the Prophet, pbuh, was a charismatic and unusual
personality and women used to seek refuge with him and some of them
offered
themselves to him. As usual Mr. Mahmud objected because he has a
knee-jerk
reaction to the word Hadith.
At this I pointed out to him that the Qur'an (33:50) speaks approvingly
of
the Prophet's right to marry a woman who offers herself to him.
At this Mr. Mahmud again lost his 'cool' and called me a dirty name.
Mr. Mahmud has also skillfully censored Br. Asif's article and then
made some
confusing remarks about his article.
It appears from this GHUNDA GARDEY (internet thuggery) that Mr. Mahmud
is not
interested in discussion. He wants to be so abusive that all those who
do not
agree with him will leave pakistanforum so that he can then continue
safely
to mislead westernized Pakistani elites who don't want to take the time
to
study the Hadith and wish they could interpret the Qur'an to their
hearts'
content.
It appears that satan has chosen Mr. Mahmud to spread abuse against the
greatest scholars of Islam, including Imam Bukhari, historian Tabari,
all the
scholars of Hadith, indirectly against all the sahaba who narrated
hadith,
and the leaders of modern Islamic movements like Abul Ala Maudoodi
(ra).
I would ask Dr. Akhter, Br. Nazir and Br. Asif to stay the course.
Remember
that the Prophet (pbuh) himself endured the same abuse. When he talked
about
his journey through the heavens (mairaj), the kuffar laughed at him,
just
like Mr. Mahmud and his friends have been laughing at the hadith about
mairaj.
This anti-Hadith fitnah must be faced and defeated with knowledge.
My readings in Hadith indicate that hazrat 'Ayesha (ra) was not that
young
when she married the Prophet (pbuh). Hadith indicate that she was a
mature
woman. I gave my evidence but Mr. Mahmud as moderator refused to post
the
article.
But now thinking back on what Dr. Akhter wrote, I need to discuss the
underlying issue of CHILD MARRIAGE. I think Dr. Akhter was correct.
Actually,
there is scope in Islam for CHILD MARRIAGE and it is the best solution
in
some circumstances.
(Now I know the Pervezis, being middle class people, will be shocked,
but the
world is much bigger than their philosophy.)
ISLAM IS A SOLUTION FOR ALL PEOPLE AND FOR ALL CIRCUMSATANCES and FOR
ALL
TIMES.
WHEN CAN CHILD MARRIAGE BE A BLESSING?
1.There are many occasions when an old or sick man has a little
daughter; the
mother has died and the father is scared of what will happen to his
daughter
when he dies. At that time, the father can arrange a marriage with the
equally young son of a trusted family friend. The father thinks that
after
his death, his daughter will grow up and live happily as a wife in that
good
family.
1a. Islam here provides a safeguard for the daughter whose marriage is
arranged by her father. When she grows up, she can repudiate the
marriage if
she does not like the man the father chose for her. My understanding is
based
on this authentic hadith:
"From Khansa daughter of Khizam (Allah be pleased with her): My father
married me to someone, and (when) I was mature and that marriage was
not
acceptable to me, I mentioned this to the messenger of Allah, pbuh,
and he
annulled my marriage." (Imam Bukhari who collected this Hadith put it
under
this very educational heading:' If the daughter is unhappy with the
marriage,
it is rejected (mardood).'
Now there are millions of cases around the world where fathers die
happy
because owing to the blessings of Islam, they are able to arrange the
marriages of their daughters before they die even when the daughters
are
little (like 5 to 10 years old).
In non-Muslim faiths, as in America, a fatherless girl, whose mother
too died
earlier, faces terrible tragedies. Millions of young girls become
prostitutes
while countless others become pregnant in their teenage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The minds of the rejectors of Hadith are so dirty that they actually
thought
that the 'husband' of an underage girl will start having sex with her
right
away!. These slaves of the West have become so dirty in their minds
that when
they look at the pearls of blessed Hadith, they look at them as swine
look at
pearls.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.CHILD MARRIAGES should also be arranged where slavery is ending and
young
former slave girls are being prepared by Muslims to be free. Islam has
come
to put an end to slavery, but such teachings (both in Qur'an and
Hadith)
become meaningless if Muslims are unwilling to marry slave girls who
will
grow up to be heads of households. Read this authentic hadith
collected by
the blessed Imam Bukhari (ra):
"From Abu Burda: My father heard from the messenger of Allah, pbuh,
that a
person who has a slave girl and who educates her, teaches her good
manners,
frees her and marries her, gets a double reward."
Now our enemies of hadith, who live comfortable westernized lives will
never
face the fact that millions of children are being enslaved by the West
and
the East. It is our task to free them, and the best way to ensure their
future is to make them part of the family.
Again marriage does not mean sex with children (as our mental pederasts
think) but an opportunity, which the girl can repudiate when she is an
adult,
if she so wishes.
-------------------------------------------------
Then there are the subjects of poverty and war. There are millions of
women
who will never find husbands owing to devastation and destruction. Can
we as
Islamic revolutionaries marry them to our male children (or marry our
female
children to male orphans). Of course, most people don't have the
courage to
do so, but Islam is the name of transformation, not of stagnation and
status
quo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am of the view that Hadith themselves show that hazrat 'Ayesha was a
mature
young woman when her marriage ceremony took place and was 19 or 25 when
she
went to the Prophet (pbuh) as his wife. I have given the context for
this
understanding from Hadith in my article censored by pakistan forum.
-----------------------------------------------
But let's suppose she was 6, as one Hadith says when she was married.
Think
of the meaning of that marriage. Abu Bakr, one of the greatest Muslims
of all
times, wanted to make sure that his household and that of the Prophet
(pbuh)
would be united if he died. It was a time of great persecution and
death for
the Muslims was always around the corner.
When 'Ayesha (the exalted, the sublime) grew up, she was actually asked
by
Allah to CHOOSE or GIVE UP the Prophet. (Read the Qur'an o munakareene
Quran-o-hadith.) The Prophet was concerned that being young, she might
decide
to leave (his was a household of jihad, very difficult and
otherworldly). So
he asked her to seek her father's advice. Her rejoinder: I can make my
own
choice and I choose you, O messenger of Allah.
(O Allah help us to walk in the dust of the caravan of the Mother of
the
believers, the fiery young woman who could lead and teach men of all
ages AND
WHO WAS THE GREATEST NARRATOR AND TEACHER OF HADITH.)
