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.

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 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 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 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.
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:

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Ya ALLAH Madad.

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.
