“Beberapa hari yang lalu, penulis bersolat Zuhr di Masjid UKM. Selepas solat Zuhr, pihak masjid mengadakan tazkirah Zuhr sementara menunggu ahli jemaah masuk semula ke pejabat. Walaupun tazkirah Zuhr itu hanya berlangsung selama lebih kurang 20 minit tapi ianya memberi kesan sebagai satu peringatan lebih-lebih lagi sebagai pencetus semangat di dalam mengharungi ibadah puasa.
Ustaz yang menyampaikan tazkirah pada hari itu memberitahu yang puasa ini ibarat satu ’station’ atau tempat perhentian, yang mana kita perlu mengambil seberapa banyak bekalan kerana kita tidak mengetahui sejauh manakah lagi perjalanan yang akan kita tempuh untuk menuju akhirat.

Walaupun kata-kata itu sudah berlalu beberapa hari tetapi ianya masih segar dalam ingatan, begitulah fitrah bila kata-kata yang lahir dari hati yang ikhlas ia akan menusuk masuk ke dalam jiwa pendengarnya.
Hari ini sudah hari ke-7 kita berpuasa, ada 22 atau 23 hari lagi yang tinggal untuk kita mengaut bekalan…..bukan bekalan berupa wang berjuta-juta ringgit, harta benda yang banyak, kesenangan hidup di dunia, pangkat yang tinggi, kedudukan yang disanjung orang…..tetapi bekalan untuk kita menempuh perjalanan kita menuju akhirat, tempat tinggal kita yang kekal abadi.” Wallahu’alam.
Kisah Teladan – 2
1 07 2008Ada seorang kawan saya yang berasal daripada Indonesia menceritakan sebuah kisah benar yang berlaku di Mesir. Kawan saya mendapat cerita ini daripada kawannya yang belajar di Mesir. Ceritanya begini:
Ada seorang ustazah orang arab Mesir yang menolak peraturan poligami dan yang lebih dahsyat lagi dia menyebut ketidakpuasan hatinya tentang poligami di dalam ceramah-ceramahnya. Waktu itu umurnya lebih kurang 27 tahun. Keadaan ini berlarutan selama lebih kurang 7 tahun dan ustazah ini masih lagi belum dilamar orang. Memandangkan umurnya sudah mencecah 34 tahun tapi masih belum berkahwin maka timbullah di hatinya keinsafan tentang apa yang telah dilakukannya yang akhirnya dia menerima peraturan poligami sebagaimana yang disyari’atkan oleh Islam.
Pada satu hari datang seorang kaya yang ingin melamarnya untuk menjadikannya isteri kedua dan maka pergilah orang kaya itu dengan niat untuk melamar ustazah tersebut berjumpa dengan kakaknya. Oleh kerana kakaknya tidak mengetahui yang adiknya sudah berubah iaitu sudah menerima hukum poligami maka dia mengatakan kepada orang kaya itu supaya membatalkan sahaja niatnya untuk berkahwin dengan adiknya kerana adiknya adalah seorang yang menolak peraturan poligami. Orang kaya itu tidak jadi memperisterikan ustazah itu. Kakaknya memberitahu kepada adiknya tentang peristiwa itu. Ustazah itu terkejut lantas memberitahu kakaknya yang dia telah insaf dan tidak lagi menolak peraturan poligami seperti mana yang dilakukannya dahulu. Ustazah itu mengatakan kepada kakaknya yang sekiranya dia menjadi isteri kedua dia ikhlas membenarkan suaminya berkahwin untuk isteri yang ketiga. Wallahu a’lam.

Did Allah create man in a way that he cannot be loyal to his only wife?
1 07 2008Name: unknown - India
Question:
Assalamu `alaikum,
In Islam it is said that men and women are given equal status and rights. But I do feel that women have not received equal status and rights as that of men. Islam permits polygamy for men. At times of need polygamy permitted. Can it be accepted by women. But sometimes a man has no need to remarry and still he remarries another woman in spite of the unwillingness of his wife, for he is attracted towards the other woman’s beauty. Is this permitted in Islam as the wife might be hurt a lots. I also have seen many women hurt for their husbands remarrying when there is no need. Islam teaches men to be kind, polite towards their wives and also not to hurt them. But does Islam permit men to hurt their wives when it is the case of polygamy. Did Allah create man in a way that he cannot be loyal to his only wife? Please, please answer my question.
Thank you.
May Allah bless you.
Answer:
Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
The relationship between a husband and wife is based on ma`roof or kindness, compassion and mercy. Both husband and wife are supposed to work at pleasing each other and dealing kindly towards each other.
When it comes to the rights of both men and women in Islam, we should believe that Allah SWT is the JUST and the WISE. So He only gives people what is good for them and only demands what is for our interest and common good. The problem is that we sometimes look very selfishly and try to have all the good for ourselves without looking at the society in large.
As for polygamy, it is allowed in Islam. It is to be used for the purposes for which it is permitted and not to be abused at any case. It is true that Allah permits the man to marry four wives, but if we think neutral and try to investigate the benefit of that without thinking of our own interests only, we will find the wisdom and significance of polygamy.
For example, if a wife puts herself in place of a widow who does not have anyone to care or look after her, and think sincerely of a solution to her problem, she will find that she would love to be a second wife than to stay as widow and continue to suffer the problems in raising children and getting the same life as her peers do. So, there is always wisdom behind polygamy.
As for hurting the feelings of the first wife, I am personally of the view that a husband should discuss this issue with his wife and they should both reach a reasonable agreement. If the wife finds herself unable to accept her husband taking another wife, she has every right to demand divorce and get her rights fully and separate in kindness. But if she thinks reasonably and not emotionally and weigh the pros and cons or being divorced and second wife, she could reach a better conclusion to save her family life and husband.
This does not mean the husband is allowed to abuse polygamy. It is only allowed for whoever is able to treat all wives equally and fairly. If he cannot be just and fair it is forbidden to take another wife.
Allah Almighty knows best.

Question pertaining to polygamy in Muslim Country
1 07 2008Ask the Scholar
Name: Abu Muhammad – Malaysia
Title Educating Ourselves About Shari`ah
Question:
Assalamu’alaykum,
Dear Scholar,
I have read a lot of articles, Q&A, opinions from Islamonline.net about polygamy in Islam. No doubt polygamy is allowed in Islam as mentioned by Allah Ta’ala in Surah Al-Nisaa’ verse 3. The law of polygamy been practiced by our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him), his companions and Muslims all over the world until now. In my opinion, enemies of Islam are working very hard nowadays, days and nights to eliminate this shari’ ah of Islam so that they can spread prostitution, adultery, fornication, homosexual, lesbian, and whatever you name it in Islamic countries. What I am worried too much is that this shari’ ah of Islam (polygamy) is treated as if not very important in Islam by some Muslims and many Muslims behaved as if not agreed with the shari’ ah or try not to implement it in Muslim society.
We believe that as a Muslim it is obligatory for us to accept all verses in the Qur’an whether we like it or not. My question is how to educate or sort of to make Muslims realize the importance of implementation of all Islamic shari’ ahs in ourselves, our families, and our societies? After all, not necessarily all Muslims will marry more that one woman because it is a matter of choice. Wallahu’alam.

Answer:
Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear questioner, thank you very much for having confidence in us, and we hope our efforts, which are purely for Allah’s Sake, meet your expectations.
Reading your question thoroughly, we share many of your views mentioned in the question regarding the Shari`ah and its real presence and application in our lives. In this regard, we would like that you make use of the following tips:
- It is the role of Muslim scholars in all parts of the world to educate Muslims about the wide scope of Islamic Shari`ah and to make them really realize that the Shari`ah has solutions to all our problems.
- Muslim individuals should exert utmost efforts to seek proper knowledge about Islam and the Shari`ah and they should be good ambassadors of their religion.
- It is the role of Muslim institutions especially in majority Muslim countries such as Malaysia to face such vicious campaigns against Islam by increasing their awareness campaigns about such social ills such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality and lesbianism, etc.
- Implementing the Shari`ah is not restricted to one aspect regarding legal punishments but it goes far to encompass all the aspects of life. This is in addition to the fact that any person with a sound intellect agrees that the Shari`ah aims at removing hardship from people and giving them solutions to their problems regardless of their places and locations.
- It is our responsibility, as Muslims, to know the rules of Allah and put them into practice with sincerity. But before anything, we should ask ourselves if we are really practicing justice. Are we really fair to others, to our spouses, to our relatives, to our neighbors, employees, employers, to Muslims, to other human beings, to animals, to anything and everything? Are we really compassionate people? Are we really increasing in compassion or are we becoming angry, hateful, arrogant, or complacent about ourselves? We must improve ourselves in justice and compassion. If we do not have `adl (justice) and ihsan (compassion) or rahmah (mercy), then we are not practicing the Shari`ah. Similarly, if we think that we are following the law of Allah but the result is injustice and lack of compassion, then it means that we have not properly understood the law of Allah or we are not interpreting it right.
Finally, we think that it will be very much beneficial for you to preview the contents of the Shari`ah & Humanity Special page. In addition, we think that forwarding your future queries or even contribution to this page will be very much appreciated.
Allah Almighty knows best.
