[Jungle_City]

finally yarey, i've been waiting to see this thing for a while now.

so ur knowledgeable eh?

okay, i've been trying to figure this out for a daym while now

 

Question:

 

What are the fields which it is permissible for a woman to learn? Is it

permissible for her to work as a lawyer and take on cases representing

others as much as she is able to?

 

holla

[RaP_MiStReSs]

wow, u replyed so quick abayo...WORD.

 

okay, firstly your question was "What are the fields which it is permissible for a woman to learn? Is it permissible for her to work as a lawyer and take on cases representing

others as much as she is able to?"

 

FIRSTLY Praise be to Allaah.

 

Women may learn about their religion and whatever will be of use to

them in their lives as wives and mothers. Then if a woman is able and

circumstances are suitable, she may learn other things too. There is

no reason why she should NOT learn the profession of teaching,

whether she teaches in women’s schools or in her own home.

 

A woman may also learn medicine and nursing, especially in the

field of women’s diseases (gynaecology), so that she can be a

women’s doctor or a women’s nurse, and women will not be forced

to go to male doctors.

 

It is permissible for a woman to represent another person in a case,

hence it is permissible for her to be a lawyer, because lawyers

represent defendants. However, the field of law nowadays has taken a

wrong turning. Moreover, the lawyer needs to mix with the

defendants and attend court, etc., and women are not allowed to do

any of these things. So it is not appropriate for women to become

lawyers so long as things remain as they are.

i hope i answered it thorough enough for you sweety.

heyhey, i got u stuck did'nt i...lol

[RaP_MiStReSs]

salam my brother, daym walahi i was expecting replies like 3 dayz later or something, lol. MANSHALLAH my brothers and sisters at least ( especially today) want to ask questions and HOPEFULLY apply them into their everyday lives.

 

My Bwoy Ruckus, sweety that may be a short and sweet question, but MANSHALLH i had already studied that. HOWEVER, the answer is still sweet, but LONG.

 

Your Question was " What are the most important rights that are respected in Islam? "

 

Firstly sweety, Praise be to Allaah.

 

abowo Islamic rights are many, among the most important of which are

the following:

 

The rights of Allaah

 

The blessings of Allaah to His slaves are innumerable. Every

blessing deserves thanks yo. The rights of Allaah upon His slaves

are many, the most important of which include the following:

 

1. Tawheed, which means believing that Allaah is One in His

Essence, His names, His attributes and His deeds. So we should

believe that Allaah alone is the Lord, the Sovereign, the

Controller, the Creator, the Provider, in Whose hand is

Dominion and He is Able to do all things:

 

“Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion; and He is Able

to do all things”[al-Mulk 67:1 – interpretation of the meaning]

 

2. ‘Ibaadah (worship), which means worshipping Allaah alone

because He is their Lord, Creator and Provider. So all kinds of

worship should be devoted to Him alone, such as du’aa’

(supplication), dhikr (remembering Allaah), seeking help,

humbling oneself, submitting, hope and fear, vows, sacrifices,

and so on. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

 

“Worship Allaah and join none with Him (in worship)”

 

[al-Nisaa’ 4:36]

 

3. Shukr (gratitude, giving thanks), for Allaah is the One Who

bestows favours and blessings upon all of creation, so they have

to show their gratitude for these blessings on their lips and in

their hearts and in their physical actions, by praising Allaah and

using these blessings to obey Allaah and in ways that Allaah has

permitted:

 

“Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying). I will

remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours

on you) and never be ungrateful to Me

 

[al-Baqarah 2:152 – interpretation of the meaning]

 

The rights of the Messenger

 

The sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be

upon him) is a great blessing for all of mankind. Allah sent him to

bring mankind forth from darkness into light, and to show them

that which will bring them happiness in this world and in the

Hereafter.

 

Among the rights that the Messenger has over us are that we

should love him, obey him and send blessings upon him. Loving

him (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is achieved by

obeying his commands and believing what he told us, avoiding

that which he forbade and not worshipping Allaah except in the

ways that he prescribed.

 

Parent’s rights

 

Islam pays special attention to the family and encourages love

and respect within it. The parents are the basis and foundation of

the family, hence honouring one's parents is one of the best

deeds and one of the most beloved actions to Allaah.

 

Honouring one’s parents is achieved by obeying them, respecting

them, being humble towards them, treating them kindly,

spending on them, praying for them, upholding ties of kinship

with those to whom one is related through them, and honouring

their friends:

 

“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him.

And that you be dutiful to your parents”[al-Israa’ 17:23]

 

The rights of the mother in this regard are greater, because she is

the one who bears the child, gives birth to him and breastfeeds

him. A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah

be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, who is most

deserving of my good companionship?” He said, “Your mother.”

He said, “Then who?” He said, “Your mother.” He said, “Then

who?” He said, “Your mother.” He said, “Then who?” He said,

“Your father.”

 

(Agreed upon. This version was narrated by al-Bukhaari,

al-Adab, 78)

 

The rights of one Muslim over another

 

The believers are brothers and are an integrated nation, like a

building parts of which support other parts. They treat one

another with mercy and compassion, and love one another. In

order to preserve this building and this brotherhood, Allaah has

prescribed rights which each Muslim has over his fellow Muslim.

These include love, sincerity (naseehah), relieving his distress,

concealing his mistakes, supporting him when he is in the right,

respecting neighbours and honouring guests.

 

These rights also include returning greetings of salaam, visiting

the sick, accepting invitations, saying “yarhamuk Allaah (may

Allaah have mercy on you) to a Muslim when he sneezes, and

attending his funeral. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah

be upon him) said: “The rights of one Muslim over another are

five: returning the greeting of salaam, saying ‘yarhamuk Allaah

(may Allaah have mercy on you)’ when he sneezes, accepting

invitations, visiting the sick and attending funerals.” (Narrated by

Muslim, 2625)

 

Neighbour’s rights

 

Islam pays attention to the issue of neighbours, whether they are

Muslim or not, because of the interests served by that in making

the nation like one body. The Prophet (peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Jibreel kept on enjoining the good

treatment of neighbours to the extent that I thought that he would

include neighbours as heirs.” (Agreed upon. Narrated by Muslim,

2625)

 

Among the rights of one neighbour over another as affirmed by

Islam are the initiation of greetings, visiting him if he is sick,

offering condolences if calamity befalls him, congratulating him

at times of joy, overlooking his mistakes, concealing his faults,

bearing his annoyance with patience, giving him gifts, lending

him money if he needs it, lowering one’s gaze from looking at his

womenfolk, and guiding him to that which will benefit him in his

religious and worldly affairs. The Prophet (peace and blessings

of Allaah be upon him) said:

 

“The best of companions with Allaah is the one who is best to

his companion, and the best of neighbours with Him is the one

who is best to his neighbour.”(Narrated by al-Bukhaari in

al-Adab al-Mufrad, 115)

 

Concerning neighbours’ rights, Allaah says (interpretation of the

meaning):

 

“Worship Allaah and join none with Him (in worship); and do

good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masaakeen (the poor),

the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a

stranger, the companion by your side…”[al-Nisaa’ 4:36]

 

Islam warns against annoying one’s neighbours or treating them

badly. The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon

him) explained that this would lead to being deprived of Paradise:

“He will not enter Paradise from whose harm his neighbour is

not safe.” (Agreed upon. Narrated by Muslim, 64).

 

In order to achieve the common interest, Islam gives rights to the

ruler over his subjects and to the subjects over their ruler, and its

gives the husband rights over his wife and the wife rights over

her husband, and there are other just rights which Islam has

enjoined.

i hope that was good enough sweety.

feel free to let me know if your confused on any aspects

WORD

[Jungle_City]

abayo, there are so many ppl talking nowadays u know? How should we deal with the rumours that appear on the Internet?, how do YOU deal with them...lol What is the Muslim’s attitude towards the news that we read here and there, and what is written in chat rooms, especially since some of it is good news for the Muslims, but the source is unknown.

 

abayo igu so celi hadad i fahamtey

 

peace

[RaP_MiStReSs]

MANSHALLAH

 

my brother, i know it is considered wrong and immoral behavious, but no1 ever asked me is it wrong in the RELIGION factors before, good one. I was already prepared for that one, that was my first thouht when i was speaking to an Imam ( no names said ).

 

Firstly abowo macaan, Praise be to Allaah. We live nowadays at a time when many rumours that bring hope

are appearing in the guise of news. These appears on Internet web

sites and chat rooms, so that they may be spread to the people as

glad tidings and so that good-hearted people may accept them as

indisputable facts coming from trustworthy sources. Even if any of

them could be proven, there are still many rumours that can be

classed as no more than fabrications. The one who thinks about

this will understand that many of the global media, including the

Arab media, exaggerate in their coverage of some events and they

analyze them in a subjective manner that shows a complete bias

and evident absence of objectivity, trying to take revenge by adding

to the news and exaggerating, and telling weird news stories. So

there is no such thing as credibility in these media, especially when

emotions and wishes play a part. This is apart from the fact that

media objectivity has become a victim of this current war, and

western circles have rejected the lessons [of objectivity, etc.] that

they used to teach others. But this does not mean that we should

dispute the facts or deny what is taking place in reality, or that we

should face this bias with exaggeration and hopes.

 

Here we should pause and remind ourselves abowo, and the good-hearted

people who hear this news and tell it to others with good intentions

– and those who fabricate these rumours and take upon themselves

the job of propagating them – of a few facts.

 

1 – We must be certain about the news we accept, and we should

not accept it simply because it happens to coincide with our hopes

and wishes. We have our own methodology of verifying matters,

and we should be consistent with regard to what we like and

dislike. It is not right for us to doubt news accompanied by pictures

from the battlefield, or to shed doubts on it, when the bottom line

is one’s senses. At a time when you see news going around through

mobiles from some internet web sites, there are some people who

may accept such news but it should be noted that there are people

who will never believe it. So they should beware of exposing

themselves to being called liars. An old proverb says, “Whoever

pursues weird news will be disbelieved.”

 

2 – We have to be cautious about the fact that the source is

anonymous. There is no information more important than that of

the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon

him), yet despite that it is not part of the Muslims’ methodology to

accept reports of the Sunnah from people who are unknown.

Hence news must be taken from authentic sources; if it is not

authentic then it should at least be known, so that people may be

able to find out for themselves whether it is authentic or not. What

a bad habit it is for a man to say, “I heard” or “they said.”

 

3 – If there are people who permit the fabrication of rumours,

basing that on some kind of ijtihaad, we must refuse to be the

means of transmitting that by believing it and propagating it.

(Whoever narrates a saying knowing it to be a lie is one of the

liars).

 

4 – One of the reasons used by the fabricators to justify making up

these rumours is that it is a kind of lying in war, which is

permissible. They ignore the fact – of which they are not ignorant –

that the only kind of lying that is permitted in war is that which

misleads the enemy, not that which creates illusions and deceives

the Muslims.

 

5 – If we have lost some aspects of the battle, we must not lose

truthfulness which is our capital in our dealings with others. People

will be astounded and amazed if they find out that this false news

was transmitted through a good man. Whoever is known to have

lied or to have transmitted lies will no longer be in a position to be

considered trustworthy.

 

6 – Similarly the righteous will be astounded and will become

suspicious of a narrator who appeared to be righteous because he

was telling this news and confirming it to them. At the same time,

others will express joy, those who took the opposite stance to these

youngsters and said, “This is their news, this is their credibility!”

Everyone who was upset by the Muslim revival will find an

opportunity to generalize this mistake and accuse all the pioneers of

the revival of behaving like that. Please, for Allaah’s sake, do not

make the enemy rejoice or give them a reason to attack.

 

7 – If truthfulness is an Islamic virtue and part of Arabic chivalry,

then telling lies is an obscenity that Islam has forbidden. Even the

mushrik Arabs refrained from telling lies, as Abu Sufyaan – when

he was still a mushrik – said: “Were it not that I am afraid that

people may find out that I had told a lie, I would have told lies

about him.” That was when he was speaking to Heraclius (about

the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)). He did

not want to have even one lie to be found in his history, even if it

was a lie told against his enemy Muhammad (peace and blessings

of Allaah be upon him) to Heraclius (the Roman ruler). We are

concerned that the propagation of these rumours may lead people

to record a lot of lies against us.

 

8 – Fabricating rumours and believing them readily is a form of

escapism in the face of a reality which one dislikes and with which

one does not feel comfortable.

 

Abowo macan,the soul finds consolation in denying that which it does not like

and in fabricating and disseminating rumours, but in the end it will

have to submit to the authority of overwhelming reality. But this

psychological trick is not fit to be the means of escapism for the

followers of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon

him), who taught them the virtues of truthfulness and commanded

them to strive their utmost to be truthful. He said: “Truthfulness

leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man

will continue to speak the truth and strive to be truthful, until he

will be recorded with Allaah as a speaker of the truth. And lying

leads to immorality and immorality leads to Hell, a man will

continue to tell lies and strive in telling lies, until he will be recorded

with Allaah as a liar.”

 

9 – Delaying recognition of realities and veiling reality with

illusions, the greatest form of which is believing and disseminating

rumours, will only multiply the amount of losses, and the greatest

loss will be the loss of values. The highest and most precious of

those values is truthfulness. “then if they had been true to Allaah,

it would have been better for them” [Muhammad 47:21 –

interpretation of the meaning]

 

10 – Recognizing the truth is the first step towards dealing with

crises and overcoming them, but not admitting them and concealing

them are among the greatest means of reinforcing them, renewing

them and repeating them.

 

11 – Our advice is not to transmit this news. We must advise

those who transmit it with the best of intentions and present them

with the real facts, we should not try to spare their feelings at the

expense of our reason and the transmission of truthful news, and

we should try to rescue them from the anxiety of illusion and point

them in the direction of reality, because truthfulness brings peace

of mind and lies bring suspicion.

 

12 – Sayyid Qutub (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The

reality of a thing defeats the outward appearance of another thing,

even if it is the reality of kufr.”

 

How I wish that I did not have to talk in this manner, but the

problem is there and must be addressed. I have tried to be truthful

when speaking about truthfulness, for the dearest of speech to

Allaah is that which is most sincere.

 

“O you who believe! Be afraid of Allaah, and be with those who

are true (in words and deeds)”

 

[al-Tawbah 9:119 – interpretation of the meaning]

 

abowo just say " O Allaah, show us the truth as truth and enable us to follow it;

show us the false as false and enable us to avoid it. Guide us

concerning disputed matters of truth by Your leave, for You guide

Whomsoever You wish to the Straight Path. " in your prayers.

 

May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammed

and upon his family and companions.

 

good question abowo macaan, that required critical thinking but hey.....MANSHALLAH.

[Samafal]

Rap maanshaalah sister!!! May god endow you more knowledge BUT sister your name and sheikhet you present here does not go together!!! why RAPMISTRESS< YOu may want to change it to Islam _mistress after this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JUST A THOUGHT

[StarGazer]

Assalamu 'Alaikum Sister,

 

You're sharing alot of useful information that can help us all to become better muslims. We always need to be reminded even if we think we know it.

Anyway, I have a concern....n' please just take it as a constructive critisism

 

I'm uncomfortable with the idea of you taking the role of a scholar/sheikh. I think a year of Islamic studies doesn't cut it when it comes to advicing folks about personal issues/q's that need a clear objective answer from knowlegable scholars. Steer clear of contemporary issues that face muslims here in the west which have been studies for many year by scholars, and to be frank I don't think you're in a position to do so.
