As Salaamun Alaikum Sisters and Brothers, The Women in the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad were also a part of the Plan of Allah. They were not just there for having children and house cleaning as many learned individuals would have us to believe. Our wives are not “Maids”…they are our “Mates”…they are not our “Property” they are our “Partners”. Please join the group “Women in the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad” and participate as much as possible and keep it clean and respectful. All new information will be posted in the group and then posted to other groups later. The verse says: (The path of those on whom You have bestowed Your grace). As to whom these people are, another verse of the Holy Quran gives us details in the following words: Those whom Allah has blessed, namely, the prophets, the Siddiqin, the Shuhada, and the righteous. (4:69) These are the four categories of those who find favor with Allah. Among them all, the prophets are the greatest. The siddiqin (the constantly true) are those who acquire spiritual perfection, and thus --attain the highest rank among the followers of a prophet. In common parlance, they are called Men of Allah, or saints. The Shuhada (martyrs) are those who sacrifice even their lives for the sake of their faith (or, who bear witness to the truth, as the word admits of both meanings). The righteous (they are those who follow the shariah completely, not only in the matter of obligations but also with regard to commendable actions. In everyday language they are called the pious or the virtuous or the good. Here, the Holy Qur’an does not ask us to follow the path of the Quran, for a book alone is not sufficient for the grooming of man; nor does it ask us to follow the path of the prophet, for the Holy Prophet was not to be in this world forever, and no other prophet was to come after him. So, in enumerating those whose teaching and example can help us attain the straight path, the Holy Qur’an has, besides the prophets included those too, who will always be found living amongst us till the last day of the world -- namely, the siddiqin, the Shuhada , and the righteous. When our learned people assume that we must never question them…they are asking us to worship them. When our learned individuals are making comments like this one about the Quran and Prophet cannot be followed alone…we need to really take them back to the Quran. Guidance comes from Allah! How to walk the Sirat comes from the Prophets. Believers are beautiful to us because of the illumination from the Guidance of Allah and the Sirat. As far as the best example to follow…there is and always will be only one! I do not look to another Muslim to see Prophet Muhammad’s example…I look to the hadiths, Seerah, Tafsir and Quran. I look to other Muslims for support in fulfilling my purpose in life that Allah has given me. In the beginning of Islam, the Ummah was more needed to guide through visual means…now we have technical means. Allah has removed the emotional over intellect, in teaching Islam, from the learned to the mankind and replaced it with intellect over emotions by means of technology. This is how the many sects started as well as the continued abuse against women and their rights…from emotions over intellect. Through the technological advancements, we are removing the cultural bias and oppression against women, the poor and the weak all around the world. Those oppressors and educators can no longer hide or distort the truth. Muslim :: Book 39 : Hadith 6755 Jabir reported that Allahs Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Iblis places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments (for creating dissension); the nearer to him in tank are those who are most notorious in creating dissension. One of them comes and says: I did so and so. And he says: You have done nothing. Then one amongst them comes and says: I did not spare so and so until I sowed the seed of discord between a husband and a wife. The Satan goes near him and says: You have done well. Amash said: He then embraces him. Surah: 33 Aya: 21 There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often. Surah: 4 Aya: 59 O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result. https://youtube/watch?v=nZ2a3aphjw8&feature=youtu.be
