Guys, first of all, I’m a fan of Owaisi’s oratory skills and the way he debates. But with so many protests happening, for example, those led by the CJI and Rahul Gandhi, I haven’t really seen him being vocal about it.

Instead, I came across his video criticising Nehru and Gandhi. Sure, they weren’t saints either, but at a time when people are coming together to fight a bigger evil, I find his silence a bit surprising.

Am I missing something, or is there a reason he’s not speaking out more on this issue? What do you guys think?

Ig dahiya is trying to stay relevant w the type of videos he posted during these protests ?

I am from a small town in UP .i wanted to give an idea for an app to mobile app developers in this group.
As you are all aware , things have been quite bad with regard to mosque across northern esp in UP.
First they reduced the volume of the loudspeakers of masajids and now since last month they have completely removed the loudspeaker across our district.same thing has been happening in Uttarakhand as well.
I request you to make an app , where a muezzin/or someone from masjid can send instant notifications to people at the time of azan to the people who has subscribed to the masjid (via qr code or something at masjid itself).
This will be very helpful for regular people going to masjid ,extra helpful for the ladies and especially in ramadan.
Its just an idea ,maybe people have better one,but i strongly believe we need something similar urgently.

Wassalam

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,

I want to share some honest thoughts, even if they might be unpopular.

Firstly, most people have already loved or dated someone during school or university, regardless of religion. Because of this, I don't see the point of marriage anymore. What are the actual benefits?

Secondly, our ultimate goal is to reach paradise. Isn't it much easier to stay single, avoid heavy responsibilities, and reach paradise without the suffering that comes with marriage?

My only real concern is that staying single past my 30s and 40s might look bad to the Muslims around me, since our culture expects people to marry and I would be alienated from the community.

Finally, I have never seen a truly happy married couple. I feel that once something becomes a strict duty, it loses its mystery, fun, and excitement, making it boring.

Hi all,

As revert(29 M rn) for around 12+ years. I feel like my life is stuck. I am not sure where my life will take me to.

I had one past relationship with a Muslim women who I thought to marry but caste system in India is hell so it didn't work out from her family side plus I don't think anyone would want her daughter to go to place where a guy is a revert.

I thought of meeting new people and go through some date to get to know them and if they + her family are ready to marry.

Even my family doesn't know about this. I say to them that I don't wanna marry anyone so that they don't get me married to a person of my old religion.

I am already earning decently and living a good life but during late night the reality hits hard and I think will I ever find a partner for myself or not i.e. someone with whom my vibes, education would match, a partner who has goals in her life.

Suggest me something I could do :)

Now we dont want to listen historic stories of sahaba in friday bayan (which we can listen on youtube), we want to talk about something which is happening in present. Are we afraid!?

Excerpt from Qari Muhammad Tayyib’s (rah) speeches and notes.

In this world, everything has an outward form and an inner soul. For example, the physical body you and I have is not, by itself the complete human being. It’s merely the outward form; the soul is the inner reality hidden within this body.

That inner reality, i.e. the soul that contains traits, is what makes us human and what we call life.

If the soul is removed from the human body, the body no longer exists as a living human being. The body will then begin to decay, swell, decompose and break apart. Its parts will scatter and disintegrate.

Therefore, life does not consist of outward form but rather of the inner reality. The outward form is merely the visible manifestation, expression and appearance of life.

Understand that the entire universe also has a soul, just as this body does. When this soul is removed, the entire universe will collapse, crumble, and scatter into pieces.

What is that soul?

It’s the remembrance of Allah (zikr).

The Prophet (saw) said, “The Hour (Resurrection) will not occur until ‘Allah, Allah’ is not said on earth.”
(Muslim 148)

As long as this remembrance remains, the structure of the universe will continue to stand. When it is withdrawn, the universe will collapse.

Indian Muslims who vote against the Congress party especially during lok sabha elections, correct me I may be wrong, the only reason I can see is you preferring BJP over the congress in the centre. We all know how BJP treats Muslims. But plenty of Muslims I meet irl as qwell as here in this sub are anti congress, pro AIMIM, Pro Owaisi who attacks the Congress and Gandhi family every time, adulates Modi like he's the best leader since Independent india... So on.

We know the congress is still the best option Against the BJP right? So why not rally behind them in hope of ending this Modi nightmare instead of scattering opposition votes which ultimately benefits the BJP? Please educate me if I'm missing something.

Especially in Desi culture, I've noticed that some women wear hijab even in front of their fathers, biological brothers, and uncles. This made me wonder how many people actually know the Islamic distinction between mahram and non mahram.

I'm a man, and I think it's important for us to understand what Islam actually teaches rather than confusing religious obligations with cultural customs. This post isn't about telling women how they should dress or criticising anyone who chooses to cover more. It's about understanding where wearing the public hijab is religiously obligatory and where it isn't.

q) What is a mahram?

A mahram is someone whom a woman is permanently prohibited from marrying because of blood relationship, qualifying breastfeeding, or certain marital relationships.

According to the general Islamic ruling, a woman is not obligated to wear her public hijab in front of her mahram men. It means the same hijab requirements that apply before non mahram men do not apply in the same way before mahrams.

Main references:

Qur'an 24:31 lists categories of people before whom a woman may display her adornment.

Qur'an 4:23 -lists prohibited marriage relationships.

1. Mahram men by blood relationship

A. Father and male ancestors

* Biological father

* Paternal grandfather

* Maternal grandfather

* Great grandfathers and further male ancestors on either side

B. Sons and male descendants

* Biological son

* Grandson through a son

*Grandson through a daughter

*Great-grandsons and further male descendants through either line

C. Brothers

* Full brother

* Paternal half brother

*Maternal half brother

D. Uncles

* Father's brother

* Mother's brother

* Paternal and maternal half-uncles

* Qualifying uncles further up the family line, such as a grandfather's brother

Both paternal and maternal uncles are mahram.

E. Nephews

* Brother's son

* Sister's son

* Brother's grandson

* Sister's grandson

* Further male descendants of a brother or sister

3. Mahram men through marriage

A. Husband

A woman's own husband is, of course, someone in front of whom she is not obligated to wear hijab. Marriage permits intimacy between spouses.

B. Father in law

* Husband's biological father

* Husband's paternal grandfather

* Husband's maternal grandfather

* Further male ancestors of the husband

These become permanent mahrams through the valid marriage contract.

C. Stepson

* Husband's son from a previous marriage

* Husband's grandson through either a son or daughter

* Further male descendants of the husband

A woman's stepson is a permanent mahram to her.

D. Stepfather

A mother's husband becomes a permanent mahram to her daughter when the marriage with the mother has been consummated.

Reference: Qur'an 4:23.

1. Mahram men through breastfeeding

Islam recognises certain relationships established through qualifying breastfeeding (rada'ah).

Examples include:

* Milk father

* Milk brother

* Milk son

* Milk uncle

* Other qualifying milk relatives corresponding to blood relationships

The Prophet ﷺ taught that breastfeeding creates marriage prohibitions similar to those created by lineage.

References: Sahih al-Bukhari 2645; Sahih Muslim 1447.

There are conditions concerning breastfeeding, including the child's age, and scholars discuss some details differently. Being raised together or calling someone a brother does not itself establish this relationship.

5. Men who are NOT mahram

This is where cultural assumptions can cause confusion.

A. Cousins

All of the following are non mahram by default:

* Father's brother's son

* Father's sister's son

* Mother's brother's son

* Mother's sister's son

In other words, paternal and maternal male cousins are not mahram simply because they are relatives.

B. Brothers in law

*Husband's elder brother

* Husband's younger brother

* Husband's half brothers

A husband's brother is not mahram to his wife, even if they grew up together or are very close.

References: Sahih al Bukhari 523, Sahih Muslim 2172.

C. Other male in laws

* Sister's husband

* Husband's uncle

* Husband's male cousin

* Aunt's husband

Other male relatives connected through marriage who do not fall into a recognised mahram category

Marriage to one member of a family does not automatically make every male relative in that family mahram.

D. Fiancé

A fiancé remains non mahram until the nikah has taken place. An engagement ceremony does not change this ruling.

E. Adopted brother or son

Adoption alone does not establish mahram status. A qualifying breastfeeding relationship or another recognised relationship may change the ruling.

F. Stepbrother

A stepbrother who shares neither a parent nor a qualifying breastfeeding relationship is not automatically mahram.

Being raised in the same household does not, by itself, establish mahram status.

I'm sharing this to encourage discussion and learning, not to shame women who choose to cover more. If any detail above is incorrect, I'd welcome corrections supported by reliable Qur'anic, hadith, and scholarly references.

I think more than 99% Muslims are not to these garba events. The 1% that go only because their Hindu friends have invited them.

But this hypocrisy is what irritates me. On the one hand, you want to keep Muslims out of garba events, and now you're whining why Muslims are not accepting your culture

See, it's fine if you don't want Muslims to come, but what the hell is? At least be consistent.

Assalamualaikum

I actually had a troubled marriage mainly due to interference from my sister is laws. My husband has 3 elder sisters who treat him like his son and he vice versa.

Don't wish to go into details. I have involved jamaat from the area where I was married. They asked us to also involve jamaat from my parents area.

I did that also. But I don't know how it's been more than 3 months both the jamaat is unable to set a date to meet and proceed with the issue. Evertime some reasons are given and I am told to wait for 1 week or 15 days.

The intension of contactinh jamaat was reconciliation but they are not helping. The jamaat of husbands side are taking his side and have approached us once telling the husband is ready to give you sign. Better take khula and end it, it will save your time.

How come jamaat take sides in such cases? Should there first responsibility be reconciliation?

I am tired i don't know how should I proceed. Any advice or is there any other committe which can help.

Title: Was the death penalty justified in this case?

I came across a news report about two Bangladeshi nationals who were reportedly executed in Saudi Arabia over an alleged indecent act inside a mosque in Mecca.

What shocked me most was the severity of the punishment. I’m not defending their alleged actions. If they did something inappropriate in a place of worship, then I understand why people would consider it disrespectful or wrong.

But does that justify taking two human lives?

As far as I understand, this case was not about murder or rape. Even if the allegations were true, I find it difficult to understand how the death penalty could be a proportionate punishment. Surely, there could have been other ways to hold them accountable.

I’m also concerned by reports that Bangladesh was not informed before the executions took place.

I’m genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives on this. Do you think the death penalty was justified in this case, or was the punishment far too extreme for the alleged offence?

I’d appreciate a respectful discussion, especially from people who understand the legal, ethical, or religious aspects of this issue.

I'm 30 F , divorced and looking to understand something before considering marriage again.

One of the reasons my previous marriage struggled was financial incompatibility.

I got my first job after getting married, and within three months, while I was still in my training period, my ex-husband told me that I needed to contribute towards the household expenses. He specifically asked me to hand the money to my mother-in-law. At the time, I wasn't very aware of my rights and responsibilities so I didn't question it.

Over time, financial expectations became a major source of conflict. My ex-husband would say things like, "You have your own money, buy it yourself." He was hesitant about paying bills and taking care of basic household expenses, and he made it clear that he expected me to continue working even if I became pregnant. At that point, I was hoping to become a mother, and the thought of having to manage pregnancy, motherhood and work without being able to rely on my husband financially was worrying.

There were also instances where his family expected financial support from me, sometimes in ways that made me feel as though my income was considered theirs to claim. Meanwhile, I was also helping my own parents financially.

Eventually, I began questioning whether I was wrong to want full control over my own earnings. I wasn't against contributing voluntarily or using my money for things that mattered to both of us. What bothered me was the expectation that my income was something the household could depend on, rather than something I could choose to contribute.

Now, as I consider marriage again, I want to be clear about my expectations from the beginning.

I want a husband who understands that providing for the household is his responsibility. I would expect him to take care of essential expenses such as rent, bills, groceries and other necessary household costs.

That doesn't mean I don't want to work. I actually want to have my own career, earn my own money and build my savings. But ideally, my income would be additional rather than necessary for the household to function. I'd like to be able to use it for personal goals, savings for our future, enjoyable experiences together or things I choose to spend it on. I'd be happy to discuss shared financial goals with my husband, but I don't want my income to be treated as something he or his family are automatically entitled to.

I understand that marriage is a partnership, that circumstances can change, and that a couple may need to make adjustments during difficult times. I'm not expecting a luxurious lifestyle or a man to be wealthy. I'm talking about financial responsibility, reliability and a shared understanding of what each person's role is.

My questions are:

1. From an Islamic perspective, was I wrong to want to retain control over my earnings in my previous marriage? Is a wife's income something her husband or in-laws can expect her to contribute?

2. Is it unrealistic to want a husband who can take responsibility for essential household expenses while I continue working and keep control over my own money?

3. For those who have navigated this in their own marriages, how do you distinguish between a husband who genuinely wants to provide and one who expects his wife to share the financial burden by default?
