This was my true experience here in Dubai. I went in a cab from Barsha to Satwa last month. I spoke to the Cab driver during the travel. Since, he was a senior person (Late 50s), I enquired his background. This muslim brother comes from Ottapalam, he's been living here for 30 years, I asked him why? Breed his family, who was always back home. I told him, he doesn't need to be here to do that. He told me he's got 2 daughters. why he must be here. He needs to marry them off properly. what is that marriage. He needs to give his daughters the basics of marriage, so that they are accepted in their new homes. How can you do that. By paying dowry, by giving gold!! I told him to find a suitable boy who is ready to accept the girl, without this pre-requisite. He said, he searched and found none. Is this the Islamic culture? HOW DO WE TAKE THIS FORWARD? We need to join together to annul this evil. We need to educate atleast the male youth to stay away from this, and state this is un-islamic and it will cause misery in his life and the here-after. If we could collect the proofs and start forwarding the compiled one to all our younger brothers and their family, it might atleast save one family from misery, and save them from the wrath. This could be a humble starting. May Allah bless our aims Shahid 2009/2/7 Prathiba Sundaram <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> ഇസ്ലാം സത്യമാണു. ശരിയാണു. നന്മയാണു. പക്ഷെ, ഇസ്ലാമിനെ നശിപ്പിക്കാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുന്നവർ മുല്ല വേഷത്തിൽ കറങി നടക്കുന്നുണ്ട്. അവരെ തിരിച്ചറിയുക. സ്ത്രീധനം ഇസ്ലാമിലില്ല. അതു വിവാഹം അസാധുവക്കുന്നു. Chapter One Do you agree the following or not? Mohammed bought fifty rupees from Abdullah and return back two rupees. We will say Mohammed bought forty-eight rupees from Abdullah. That is the truth. If anyone says Mohammed paid two rupees to Abdullah, it is nothing but a fabricated lie. Therefore, you have to agree the following. Abdullah has a daughter and Mohammed demands and bought 50 Gold Coins to marry her. Mohammed pays two Gold Coins as Mah'r. Truly, we have to say Mohammed bought 48 Gold coins. That is the truth. If anyone says Mohammed paid two Gold Coins as Mah'r, it is nothing but a fabricated lie. Moreover, the Muslims believe that no one could eyewash Allah. Conclusion: It is very clear the dowry related marriage never pays the Mah'r, which is a compulsory obligation to become marriage legitimate according to Islam. Most of the Keralite Muslims' marriages are not valid due to this. Of course, the most of the Keralite Muslims' are born out of this illegitimate marriage. Chapter Two Who you are? Have you bought dowry? You ask your father. If his answer is in affirmative it means your mother is a prostitute, your father an adulterer and you are a bastard. Therefore, the dowry buyer is an adulterer, his concubine a prostitute and their children bastards. The Remedy By closing your own eyes, the situation will not change. Do not keep your head in the Sand by shame. Repay the dowry back, repent to Allah and marry according the Islamic way, is the only remedy. Chapter Three Common Civil code is better (than Islamic way of marriage) to those who prefer dowry. Marriage is the permission from the society to live as couples. You have the right to marry according to your wish. If you wish to buy dowry you can. Nevertheless, in the Islamic way you cannot, because you have to pay compulsory Mahr to the bride. Therefore, it is better to adopt any other method. Do not argue for Islam and act un-Islamic same time. That is what our Mullas, who are supporting dowry system, practicing. ________________________________ From: Shahid Aboobacker <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 5, 2009 11:28:04 PM Subject: {IIG} Against Dowry Assalamu Alaykum Anyone has the islamic perspectives on the dowry tradition? Please, substantiate with examples from Quran and hadith. The new version from "Dowry giving" parents are that they are giving all they have to their loved ones. and by "Dowry accepting" youngsters is that we didnt force. They only gave us. I am sure as a group, we can all give proper advice to the youth to prevent this tradition to continue. Our tradition or paths to be followed is Quran & hadith only.
