Popular Post LordAnubis Posted September 2, 2017 Popular Post Posted September 2, 2017 Eid Mubarak to one and all Wish all of you a day full of happiness, family, and friends. In light of recent events, I'll spread some experiences about marriage in Islam. The process is basically this. The woman has to have a guardian. This is generally a father, grandfather, brother etc. It is the responsibility of this guardian to verbally ask the bride if she agrees to marry the groom, in the presence of atleast 2 witnesses. The guardian then is the one in the actual wedding (nikah) ceremony. The ceremony is literally a 1 minute process. The guardian of the bride asks the groom to marry the bride. The groom then simply replies "I accept". The three requirements for a marriage to be performed are a maher (basically a payment to the bride from the groom), at least two witnesses, and the ceremony to be performed. Anyway. Have a good day everyone. Prayers and blessings to one and all Mus Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 1

Hello Mus, Firstly congratulation! hats off I'm interested to hear if you've ever heard about complexities arising from the payment to the bride. Does this represent the same sort of concept as a diamond ring? i.e historically an insurance policy if anything was to go wrong. If that was the case does if follow similar guidelines of diamond ring buying. i.e it should equate to 3months of your annual earnings?. Also what form does the payment it take?. Do the rest of the family witness the payment? Have you got any funny stories of cheap grooms? Best, Stefan
LordAnubis Posted September 2, 2017 Author Posted September 2, 2017 I don't actually now what it's used for and why, but I know it's the sole right of the wife. It's a debt that can be paid in future but it's a debt that can never be forgone even after the death of her husband, her heirs inherit the debt of the payment owed to the wife. The wife can choose to not ask for a payment amount. Ultimately it's something that is decided between the husband and wife. Obviously there would be cases of extreme payments demanded etc. I've not personally heard of them though and certainly not in my family. Mahr can be paid in anything. Cash, gold, rice, cows sheep. Whatever is agreed between the husband and wife. And yes it can be paid at a later date. You can say I will pay you 3000 dollars one year from now. This is agreed confirmedninfront of the witnesses who are witnessing the marriage. They are aware of these terms and conditions. The public as whole who are at the wedding do not need to be told what the mahr is, only the direct witnesses chosen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Waah954 Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 I find the inheritance topic in Islam to be amazing, its so detailed down to the T.I think it's in surat al nisa is that right ?Sent from my LG-H870DS using Tapatalk

AndrewNR Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Mus.. I had a truly bizarre moment recently.. I try to not be ignorant of as many things as I can.. And admit disliking all things equally.. I recently purchased a Qur'an.. I was honestly shocked to find it complimentary accompanied by an accompanying novel gratis "Clearing your doubts about Islam" Which was actually a very well thought out and neutral basically rhetorically written defensive novel.. How unfortunate it is one of the worlds oldest practiced religions singularly feels the need to do such a thing.. Regardless, Congratulations BOTL.
LordAnubis Posted September 4, 2017 Author Posted September 4, 2017 I'm always skeptical about explanatory novels. Islam is not perfect from a current society point of view. It just isn't. The balance is in finding the things that are suitable and those that are not. A lot of the problem is context. There's a classic line that people (both the Islamic extremists and anti Islam extremists) keep referring to about "kill them (non Muslims) where you find them". Islam does teach that. It is clearly written. It was said by the prophet Muhammad. But it's the context that explains it. The Muslims had just taken back the city of medina (I think it was). They were persecuted and kicked out. And after a decade retook the city presumably through some sort of war where there would have been casualties on both sides. The instruction from the prophet was that all non Muslims in the city were to be given 4 months to sort their affairs and leave. They were not to be harmed and would be assisted in leaving the city. After that time, "kill them where you find them". It is still a city to this day that is not accessible to non Muslims. It's the context that most people (from both Muslim and non Muslims sides) don't understand, and is the key of knowledge that needs to be spread... in my opinion. Religion is nothing, without the historical teachings of those times to accompany it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Fuzz AI Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Non-Muslims are allowed to live in Medina, just not in the haram area. And obviously, non-Muslims are not allowed in Mecca.
