About this deal

Seems relevant to current issues, right? Where women are heard and not questioned “why are you in the darkness? what clothes are you wearing? etc etc”. There are many more interesting stories here for many different topics, but you should read it yourself. Despite maintaining a submissive role to their husbands, women are still allowed to work and have public roles.

The Muslim keeps secrets; keeping secrets is a sign of maturity, moral strength, wisdom and balanced personality. He is concerned about the affairs of people in general. He is happy to welcome his guests and hastens to honor them. The Muslim does not enter a house other than his own without seeking permission and greeting people. He sits wherever he finds room when he joins a gathering. He avoids whispering and conversing privately when he is in a group of three. He gives due respect to elders and those who deserve to be respected (like scholars etc.). The fasting, as scholar Mohammad Hassan Khalil explains, is a way for Muslims to be conscious of God. It is also meant to help them understand what it is like to be poor. A Muslim feels in the depths of his soul that he is in constant need of the help and support of Allah, no matter how much he may think he can do for himself. He has no choice in his life but to submit to the will of Allah, worship Him, strive towards the Right Path and do good deeds.With his wife, the Muslim exemplifies good and kind treatment, intelligent handling, deep understanding of the nature and psychology of women, and proper fulfillment of his responsibilities and duties. Islam does not approve of begging. It makes it a sin that a person should beg when he has enough to satisfy his immediate needs. Therefore, the Muslim does not beg. If he is faced with difficulty and poverty, he seeks refuge in patience, whilst doubling his effort to find a way out. The Prophet said: “Whoever refrains from asking from people, Allah will help him…” [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

A brilliant and unprecedented study. Historically grounded and methodologically sophisticated, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Muslims in South Asia and the gendered complexities of education."—Jamal J. Elias, Walter H. Annenberg Professor in the Humanities, University of Pennsylvania Retaining its emphasis on an uncompromising monotheism and a strict adherence to certain essential religious practices, the religion taught by Muhammad to a small group of followers spread rapidly through the Middle East to Africa, Europe, the Indian subcontinent, the Malay Peninsula, and China. By the early 21st century there were more than 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide. Although many sectarian movements have arisen within Islam, all Muslims are bound by a common faith and a sense of belonging to a single community. The irony is that men feel proud to do such heinous punishable acts. It must be born in mind that the husband is also required to be faithful in marriage as much as the wife is. The punishment for adultery after marriage is death under the Shari’ah for both male and female. If the culprit did not get the due punishment in this world, it does not mean the sin is less grievous in the sight of Allah. A sin which is not expiated in this world will never leave the person till the grave.The Muslim keeps away from drugs and stimulants. He also does not forget to exercise regularly to maintain his physical fitness. A’ishah also reported that once, when she went on a journey with the Prophet (SAW), she challenged him to a race, and won. Later, when she had gained weight, she raced him again, but this time he won, and told her, “this is for that.” [Sunan Abi Dawud 2578]

They brought him to the Messenger of Allah and told him that this man had assaulted the woman, and they had seized him whilst he was running away. The Muslim never searches for people’s faults or slander their honor. He doesn’t slip into the error of pride, boasting and showing off. He judges fairly, is never unjust (even to those whom he does not like) or biased by his own whims, and avoids suspicion. He does not rejoice in the misfortunes of anyone. He carefully avoids uttering any word of slander, cursing, malicious gossip and foul language. more loved by God than a weak believer. The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said:A sincere husband must also possess the qualities of patience, kindness, and mercy. These qualities must be exhibited in a husband’s personality in his relationship with his wives. This is what can be seen in the following examples from the life of Prophet (SAW). It is narrated by Anas (RA): He does not make fun of people but is gentle, kind, compassionate and merciful, strives for people’s benefit and seeks to protect and help them. In doing so, the books show their young Muslim readers that becoming a good mother is about safeguarding piety and negotiating with pressures for women empowerment and gender equality. The ideal Muslim woman This groundbreaking book examines the historical reform debates as well as contemporary transnational development campaigns on Muslim women and girls’ education in colonial and post-colonial South Asia. Through careful sifting of archival material and interview data as well as analysis of important Urdu literary works, it highlights the historically, sociologically, and politically contingent nature of discourses about women/girls education, particularly in Pakistan. Unique for its genealogical approach, the book provides rare insights into the internal debates and polarizations within Muslim communities over issues related to girls’/women education. Spanning the intersection between Islamic, South Asian, and gender studies, the book will appeal to a wide range of audiences."—Ali S. Asani, Professor of Indo-Muslim and Islamic Religion and Cultures, Harvard University The ideal Muslim character is distinct and balanced. The Muslim is the embodiment of the teachings of the Quran and the‘Sunnah’ (sayings, actions and the approvals of the Prophet Muhammad ). He follows the teachings of the Book of Allah (i.e. Quran) and the example of the Prophet Muhammad in all affairs, relations, and situations – starting with his relationship with his Lord, his own self, his family and the people around him.

He is not strong who throws people down, but he is strong among us who controls himself when angry.” [Abu Huraira in Bukhari and Muslim]. It is no surprise that the Muslim is concerned with his clothing and appearance. The Muslim does all of this in accordance with the Islamic ideal of moderation, avoiding the extremes of exaggeration and negligence. The Muslim also keeps his body and clothes very clean. He bathes frequently. The Prophet placed a great emphasis on cleanliness and bathing. Cleanliness makes the Muslim more likeable to people. He also takes care of his mouth and teeth. The Muslim relationship with his brothers and friends is the best and purest of relationships, for it is based on love for the sake of Allah. He is loving, not cold towards them; he is loyal and does not betray them; he is sincere and does not cheat them; he is gentle and never harsh; he is tolerant and forgiving; he is generous and he supplicates for them (his brothers and friends).A sign of one's excellence in Islam, is his ignoring what does not concern him. The Muslim should only participate in what concerns him, such as anything that is his property, right, obligation or under his control. To be concerned with something entails preserving and taking care of this thing that one is allowed to be concerned with. The Prophet said: “A sign of a person’s being a good Muslim is that he should leave alone that which does not concern him.” [At-Tirmithi] One of the worst characteristics that Islam abhors is hypocrisy, therefore the Muslim can never be a hypocrite; he is frank and open in his words and opinions. The Prophet said: “One of the worst people is a double-faced man, who comes to one group with one face and to another group with a totally different face.” [Al-Bukhari] Women’s public roles and contribution to the family’s income are appreciated, but they do not afford them equal power relations with their husbands.
