Taufeeq Ahsan Barkati Misbahi
(Teacher, Jamia Ghausia Najmul Uloom, Mumbai)
The Lord of the worlds, Allah Azzawajalla has given clear and
concise laws and rules in order for us to obtain success in all
aspects of our lives. He has not left humans without guidance
regardless of whether that involves their own lives, family
relationships, societal or economic issues, or whether it
involves national or international issues and relationships. He
grated laws to all parts and phases of living in order to
establish rules, etiquettes and manners to be followed in order
to safeguard humans from confusion and disorder. Otherwise
lawlessness, chaos and turmoil would have been rampant and
embedded in people’s minds as a way of life. The divine Laws
of Allah Ta’ala allow for the reformation, well-being and
durability of humans and the human race. The Holy Qur’an
states quite clearly that Allah Ta’ala is not cruel to His slaves.
Rather, He showers His mercy and grace upon them as He is
above all else the most Affectionate, most Merciful.

Preface

Respected readers! You are well aware that we have been
granted the two greatest gifts by Allah Ta’ala – Islam and the
blessed Prophet of Islam À . If the beloved Prophet would
not have been sent onto the earth then we would not have
found Islam, the Merciful One, or the Qur’an. Allah Ta’ala has
stated in the Holy Qur’an that “Allah has indeed bestowed a
great favour upon the Muslims, in that He sent to them a
Noble Prophet from among them...” and “Indeed following
the Noble Prophet of Allah is better for you...”
It is for this reason that when A’ala Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza
praises Allah Ta’ala he says:

Islamic Concept of Nikah
Ponder the fact that before Nikah two people do not even
know each other. They are from different families and
backgrounds. An Arab and a non-Arab, an Asian and African,
when they are legally married they become so devoted and
attached to each other that their love becomes such that they
do not leave other until death. The relationship that is
developed as a result of Nikah is not temporary or brief,
rather it is long lasting and permanent.

Islamic Concept of Nikah
Mother means the woman whose child you are either directly
or indirectly. As well as the birth mother, this category also
includes grandmothers (maternal and paternal) and great
grandmothers etc. Regardless of how many generations up
you go they are all unlawful to marry as they are either your
own mother or the mother of your parents, grandparents etc.

“Your women are a tillage for you; so come into your tillage
as you will; and first perform the deeds that benefit you; and
keep fearing Allah, and know well that you have to meet
Him; and O Beloved! Give glad tidings to the Muslims.”
(Surah Baqarah Verse 223)

mentioned, which means that you may perform this act as you
prefer. There is only one condition and that is that you may
only ‘come into your tillage’ through the part of the body
which is specifically designated for it. This part of the verse
refuted two false practices. The Jews had insisted that only
one position was lawful for sexual intercourse whereas this
verse states that there is no specific position ordained but that
it was whatever you prefer. Additionally some vulgar people
would perform anal intercourse with their women. This is
forbidden as that is not the place designated for it. This (anal
intercourse) negates the aim of marriage and also has an
adverse effect on the health of the woman.
The words ‘and first perform the deeds that benefit you’ are
very important and covers a vast area. This means that do not
merely be focused on fulfilling your (sexual) desires, rather,
remain busy in gathering good deeds for your future.
Additionally, seek children through marriage so that your
name remains alive and their good deeds will ensure that you
receive rewards for them even after you pass away. If you
waste your whole life fulfilling your desires and die then your
name also will die with you. Also, if you have children but do
not teach them properly, do not teach them Islamic manners
and etiquettes then they will remain ignorant (of Islamic
morals) and be vulgar, evil and have bad characters. If this is
the case, they may well remember you but the words they
remember you with will be such that it would have been
better if they would not have remembered you at all. If there
is a desire to have pious children then first of all seek a pious
wife who is able to be a pious, loving mother to your children.
All these reasons are stated in the words ‘and first perform the
deeds that benefit you’.’ (Zia-ul-Qur’an Vol 1 Pages 153-154)

“And do not marry polytheist women until they become
Muslims; for undoubtedly a Muslim bondwoman is better
than a polytheist woman, although you may like her; and do
not give your women in marriage to polytheist men until
they accept faith; for undoubtedly a Muslim slave is better

“The adulterer shall not marry except an adulteress or a

except an adulterer or a polytheist; and this is forbidden for
the believers.” (Surah Noor Verse 3)
A few lines later he quotes the words of Allama Paani Pati and
writes, ‘The verse means that as a result of his sinfulness and
impiety, an adulterer is not drawn towards marrying a pious,
obedient woman. Similarly, a pious man will not want to
marry an adulteress because a loving relationship requires
both parties to share similar morals, likes and desires. Where
there is a large difference in morals it will be almost
impossible to have a loving relationship. Therefore, in this
instance, the order to avoid marrying adulterers is literal.’ (Zia-
ul-Qur’an Vol 3 Pages 291-292)

Borrowing Money
If there is a genuine need there is nothing wrong in borrowing
money as long as it can be paid back easily. However, some
people take loans merely for the fact that they need the money
in order to fulfil all the traditions and customs. If money is not
borrowed and these traditions are not carried out then our

A worse thing than this is the fact that at the time of arranging
and fixing the marriage, in order to put on an air of fame and
distinction, the bride’s family insists that the groom’s family
has to bring a musical band and dancers or they will not agree
to the marriage. They do not think that instead of wasting this
money it could be used by their daughter after she gets
married. They insist on it to attain temporary pleasure but do
not realise that they are crippling the finances of the home
where their daughter is going to spend the rest of her life. Her
(future) home is drowning in debt. The piling problems lead
to disagreements between the husband and wife which
escalate into arguments and eventually separation and
divorce. Is this arranging a marriage or ruining a home? There
is no doubt that this is a day of great happiness which has
arrived after a long wait. Undoubtedly you should express
happiness but exceeding the limits and going against Islam
and its laws is not what people with intelligence and
knowledge do. Do things which will bring success in this
world and illuminate your hereafter – and that is to do things
which will please Allah Ta’ala and His Beloved Prophet and

Fireworks
It is becoming extremely popular at weddings especially, and
also on blessed nights like Shab-e-Bara’at, to let off fireworks.
Clothes get burnt, bodies get burnt, homes are burnt and
property gets damaged. Children, youngsters and elders are
wounded and hurt. All this is acceptable and the only thing
that is not acceptable is to end and stop this useless tradition
even though it is unlawful and prohibited because it is a waste
of money as well as being dangerous. Many verse of the
Qur’an mention that the person who wastes money is a
brother of shaitaan. Allah Ta’ala states:
7 ؕ و?ﺎن
﴾۲۷﴿ ﻛﻔ ْ"ﻮ ًرﺍE@ٖ ﺍﻟﺸ ْﻴ ٰﻄ "ﻦ ﻟﺮﺑ 7 "ﻮﺍ ﺍ ْﺧﻮﺍنe ن ﺍﻟ "ْﻤﺒ @ﺬرﻳْﻦ ?ﺎﻧ7 ﺍ

“Indeed those who needlessly waste are brothers of the
devils; and the devil is very ungrateful to his Lord.”
(Surah Bani Israel Verse 27)
What can be more disgraceful for a person than the fact that
he is compared to shaitaan and is called a friend of shaitaan?

asked for him to be called back. When he returned
RasoolAllah À said, “Do you know any of the Qur’an?” He
thought for a moment and then replied, “I know such and
such Surahs of the Qur’an (and counted them off).” He was
asked, “Do you know those Surahs off by heart?” He replied
that he did. RasoolAllah À said, “I have married you with
