Yeh sorry i meant to say Wali not auliya, Admin the nitpicker/finicky one, noticed it Biggrin

For once i semi agree with Med, Med enjoy this day, someone on the forum actually semi-agreed with you today, first and possibly last tym Biggrin

Im joking bro dnt worry.

lol. Does any1 here really think I care if any1 agrees with me or not? Guidance is in ALLAHs Hands , I am a mere human.

This forum is essentially for the minhaj brigade so I dont expect much agreement. Whatever is decreed shall come to pass.

Agree with me, disagree with me. I care not two figs.

Btw that was a quote from an alim of truth. The credit is with the Hadrat, I merely copied and pasted.

I gotta agree. We do have alot of Minhajians on board. We used to have a large distribution through MinhajulQur'an centres in the old days. No idea if it still holds.

Others are welcome, and I am sure alot of the members are not minhajian, or others may have come across minhaj through members on thsi forum.

Everyone has diferent opinions. it is not upto people to always agree. You should always consider the view, but always make your own.

The reason i wrote that was cos u acting like u doing me a favour by agreeing or semi agreeing with me and behaving as though i shudda been grateful.

Sorry but not really that aint me.

I wud say most of the stuff i say here the majority of ppl here wud disagree with. Brother I aint here as part of a popularity contest, 2 b honest if I was popular here I would be worried abt myself.

perhaps u need some sleep - uv been taking a reactionary stance in almost every reply you posted... :roll:

ur 'statement' that 'essentially this forum is for the minhaj lot' is an assumption in itself. :roll:

I hereby place Med under my protection.

Sorry I've been intensively reading seerah over the past few days. (need to hop over to Minhaj forums and call Revolutionist son of my mother-in Islam Biggrin )

But seriously some people (Razor) seem to be how should I put it...trying to tell Med he's a fool.

You need to cut it out, people have feelings.

That reminds me of a story, one of the men of Quraysh was old and decided not to go to the battle of Badr until someone came up to him with some incense and said "scent yourself with some of this because thou art of the women!"

Lol. Dirol Lol

Guys I’ve pointed out above that the point of the story isn’t that every Muslim couple should aspire to follow in their footsteps…

Rather, we should look at their intentions and try to encapsulate the same level of extreme love for our Creator into our lives too…

The story to me is about sacrifice and proving that one prefers God to their own selves….Do not get bogged down with the details of the story. Whether the way they acted was right or wrong is debatable and a totally separate issue.

Hadrat Awais Karni broke all his teeth just because he heard that one tooth of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) had broke in the battle of Uhud…The point of this story isn’t that we should all break our teeth too…but that we should also try to follow the sunnah of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) as much as we can into our lives. Whether Hadrat Awais Karni was being “extreme” or wrong to intentionally bring harm to himself are details that are unnecessary that we shouldn’t get bogged down with.

When one is a true Lover, the norms of society do not apply to such an individual…For instance, Imam Malik NEVER wore shoes in the streets of Madina nor rode on an animal simply and only out of extreme respect for the city that the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) lived in…..once again, its not the details and impracticality and danger of being barefooted that we should concern ourselves with.

But back to the original story…you know, sometimes when we want something so badly we spend months and months on the prayer mat begging Allah (swt) to give it to us…..but when we get that thing do we ever spend half as much time thanking Allah (swt) for that blessing?

That’s the thing…the couple in the story wanted to be with one another really badly and spent years begging Allah (swt) to destine them for one another…so when Allah (swt) granted their request they spent even MORE time thanking Allah (swt) on their prayer mat every night for making it happen…

The details IMO are irrelevant and not something that we should concern ourselves with. Whether they were right or wrong is something that only God Himself will decide.

Wasalaam

what a big deal has been made about one story that isnt even meant to be taken literally as an example for people to follow :roll:

but just for the sake of discussion-

celibacy is not forbidden in Islam many companions didnt not even marry

ftr after marriage celibacy is looked down upon...

I think we need to move on.

So two people found that the best way to thank Allah (swt).

It has been established that is not the norm, and nor can/should everyone aspire to it.

subhanallah. Imam Malik also as far as I can remember NEVER relieved himself in the Holy City of Madinah Munawwarah.

Of the recent past, the great alim of India, Hadrat Mawlana Qasim Nanautwi rahmatullahi alayh also did not wear shoes in Madinah Munawwarah.

Dawud....maybe changing your name to 'peace' is a good idea...

i've realised you're doing that alot nowadays...good-good

Yeah you lot are probably right. But the thing is i was always told that there is a reason that we do something in islam and there evidence to alway suggest why we do it as well. So I can't understand why celibacy in marriage can ever be consider a praiseworthy act as the evidence from Quran and Sunnah indicate opposite, now the fact both couple agree on something is not really important too me.

See i understand about the point about Imam Malik not walking with his shoes in Madinah, as it a sign of respect. Nothing wrong with that as he showing his respect and there isn't anything that suggest doing so is wrong. But in marriage guideline have be given, if you look back at the history of the muslims most of the great muslims gave birth too very pious offsrping as well. I rather look at this action and praise that, if anything.

I sorry if i being ignorant and not being able to see the true meaning of the story, but i seriously can't.

look yuit-sis quoted above that Awias karni broke all of his teeth

but instead of focusing on the fact that intentional self harm cant be right in Islam we should just focus on the extreme extent that he copied the Prophet (pbuh) actions

same way-it must be sunnah to procreate

but their act was praisworthy cos they didnt give into their desire cos they were too busy worshipping God

But shouldn't marriage be something where you should give in too ur desire. This desire is part of the bigger plan ain't it. To expand the ummah and is need for there to be future generations. The other example are different IMO.

big friggin deal if the husband and wife chose not to give into their desires and contribute to the Muslim Ummah

there's more to life :roll:

I'm sure just cos that couple never had any kids the Muslim ummah wasnt effected in any major way

obvioulsy it be wrong if EVERYONE did that

but (un)fortunalty people lack self control

Nah i don't think it got anything to do with self control personally. Most of the promiment sahabi were married more then once, I read somewhere Hazrat Ali (ra) had over 30 kids, this isn't the only case as well, loads of sahabi had loads of kids and so did the past great muslims. The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) was married to many wives as well. So if anything, the example set seem to imply that relation within marriage are very important, there various hadith that are mention which go into the subject abit more deeply, but as this is a mixed islamic forum, i think i rather not go into it. But too me this shows me the important of such action within marriage.

some sahaba didnt marry

they claimed that marraige would take them away from worship of God

reference? (only asking cos that goes against some clear-cut hadith...)

Thing is if one does not get married, and is celibate, that is acceptable/a good thing.

cant remember at the top of my head-I'll tell u later when I dig out my notebooks

but I know Rabia Basri never married

Salam

Those who try but still cannot find a good woman they should remain celibate.

For it is true that a bad woman does indeed take you away from the ways of your Lord.

Omrow

Hadrat Rabia Basria performed her duties when she was a slave-girl.

Upon gaining her freedom she received many marriage proposals but set questions to the suitors and wanted satisfactory answers to these questions before she would marry. I cannot remember specifically what the questions were but they were along the lines of will I receive my book of deeds in right or left hand/ will my end be the paradise or the hell? etc
Obviously no1 can answer these qsns and so she didnt accept the proposals.

Point being that she was soo worried abt her condition and abt her akhirah that she was literally not able to marry or think abt marriage.

Some might say that Hadrat was taking this to an extreme and that does this mean that those great people who marry have any less worry about their akhirah? The answer is obviously no. Everyone deals with things in their own way - some wen grieving sit and cry, others busy themselves cleaning the house, others take to escapism etc. Similarly humans have different ways of coping with this world and their worry abt akhirah is dealt with differently - some marry and live a supposedly ''worldly'' life, others cut themselves off from everyone, others drown themselves in pursuit of knowledge, others strive in the battlesfield etc.

Alhamdulillah everything is good.

Ibn Taymiyyah never married, nor did Imam An-Nawawi.

Imam Al-Nawawi was once told that marriage is a great sunnah and it is perhaps the only sunnah he had not fulfilled. His reply was, 'I fear that I may follow one sunnah and thereby get involved in many forbidden acts'."

Hadrat Rabia Basri never married for this reason either.

So, yes some people did not marry as they feared that it would take them away from the worship of God.

However, the overall stance of the Sufis is not that marriage should be renounced… The TRUE Sufi is the one who buys, sells, meets others, visits the markets etc but never forgets Allah (swt) for a single moment.
