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. We will come across the first discrepancy in Ma’ariful ul Quran. You will be shocked to know that the author chooses to relate the message from Allah strongly toward men. I also noticed it very strongly toward men as if it is not a women’s prerogative to be accepted in this category. I could be wrong…but if you have the opportunity…please review it Volume 1 of Ma’ariful ul Quran, Al Fatihah. “A mans life is subject to three states of time -- past, present and future.” Surah Al-Fatihah 1 : 1 - 7 page 70 Ma’ariful ul Quran It is comments like these that throw me off and lead me to investigate. I did not list the other comments from the paragraph only to keep the doubt about the intentions of the author at a minimum. I understand that the Arabic can be masculine or feminine…but the author is not translating Arabic from the Quran into English. He is translating the opinions of his own and others who are learned. Should we just be good Muslims and take it as a general statement for all Muslims? Or, should we look at how the cultural and opinions of others shape our understanding of Islam and women’s status? We have a saying…”Say what you mean”, “mean what you say”…”write what you mean to say” We need to be more conscious in our dealings, lectures and writings so that we make full mention of everyone that Allah is speaking to in His Message! Amin AL FATIHAH PART 3 Surah: 1 Aya: 5-6 It is You we worship and You we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path The best explanation of the word, Hidiiyah (guidance) has been offered by Imam Raghib al-1sfahiini in his Mufradat al-Qur7an, which can be summed up thus: Hidayah signifies leading someone towards his destination, gently and kindly; while guidance, in the real sense, issues forth from Allah alone, and it has several degrees. The First Degree of Guidance The first degree of guidance is general, and covers everything that exists in the universe -- minerals, plants, animals etc. The Second Degree of Guidance Unlike the first, the second degree of guidance is not general but particular. It is limited to those creatures which are considered to be rational, that is, men and jinns. The Third Degree of guidance The third degree of guidance is still more particular, being special to true believers and the God-fearing. Like the first degree, the third kind of guidance too descends directly to the individual from Allah, and Allahs grace provides a man with internal and external means and circumstances which should make it easy, and even pleasant for him to accept and act upon the guidance of the Holy Qur’an, and difficult to ignore or oppose it. https://youtube/watch?v=9UTHzwygefg&feature=youtu.be
