Bashfulness is a trait of modesty and a badge
of the Muslimah - but would you allow a good
brother to pass you by because of it? "

Ladies, your thoughts?[

Salam,
The fact that somethings were practised during the time of the prophet does not mean it is applicable to us.We shld not forget that Aisha(RA)'s marraige to the prophet was divine. She played a very signaficant role in the transmission of the way of life of the Prophet(SAW) to the ummah after the death of the prophet(saw).This singular feat shows us her level of intelligence. How many 12 yrs old girl in this age can boast of this level of intelligence, these are children that we still manage to make them observe salah and sawm.
And a candid question to the men : How many 25years old will marry a 40years old woman, basically for the love and not material gains.
We are always trying to do things we feel will favour us but run away from things we don't find pleasing. Abegi o, I have a lot of ripe sisters looking for husbands o. Let us get those ones out of the way first before thinking of the small ones that we'll be teaching how to even wash plates and wear pants properly!!!

Salam alaekum. Can a muslim sister enter a mosque to listen to lectures and not to pray

babybuzx: Salam alaekum. Can a muslim sister enter a mosque to listen to lectures and not to pray

Wa alaikum salam,
1. is the sister on her on period and can't pray and just wants to listen to lecture?

2. Is the lecture around the time of prayer? I mean the sister is not on her period, just listen to lecture and when it's time for prayer leave and pray at home?

3. Or you listen to the lecture and stay while it's time for prayer don't pray and after prayer continue listening to the lecture?

what are your reasons for not praying in the said mosque?

Please your question is a little bit vague, you telling me which of the three is the situation will enable me ans properly

salam alaikum , good thread

salam alaikum sis,what do you mean by a good brother passing u by because of your bashfulness?

Pelummy: salam alaikum sis,what do you mean by a good brother passing u by because of your bashfulness?

Wa Alaikum salam.
Bashfulness means shy/reserved/not wanting to be noticed, so the question is if you see a single and searching good Muslim brother and you think he will be a good husband will you approach him and propose to him directly or indirectly? Or you will just let him be and pass you by.

i understood. approach? i don't i can do that

Pelummy: i understood. approach? i don't i can do that

Why won't you? What are your reasons.

Sissie:

sis,I don't think I can do such. I might not be able to give any reasons. Such thing are meant for the brothers to do no matter how thier bashfulness is. And besides I don't think It's an appropriate thing for a sister to do

Salam alaikum habibtys/ukthys

The women around the messenger are perfect role models for us, so I suggest we discuss:

1.the women round the messenger, his wives, daughter, the female "sahabas".
2. Mother's of prophets
E.t.c

The aim of this is to study their lifes, contributions e.t.c in order to inspire us and help us understand better the position of women in Islam.

To make this more fun I suggest, we chose one or more person, give a brief summary about the persons life, the contributions they made and the lessons we can learn from them.

So I will start by discussing Khadija bint khuwaylid.

Khadijah bint Khuwaylid

She was from the tribe of quraish and bani asad, she was à rational and venerable women who was famous for her strictness, reason and decency, because of this she was respected and desired by the elite of her tribe.
She got married to Abu Halah and gave birth to Halah and Hind, after his death she married Ateeq and they separated after sometime. She refused many proposals of marriage from venerable men.

She was wealthy and use to hire men to manage her business, being informed of the Prophet's truthfulness, integrity and good manners before his messengership, she entrusted him to run her trade, she was quite pleased with his achievements, but what pleased her more and gained her admiration was the Muhammad (SAW) himself.

She found herself emotionally attracted to him. She started to wonder will he accept her proposal since she ess forty five years and he was only twenty five, her friend Nafisa bint Munabbih comforted her and reminded her of his good character, lineage over all those venerable men who sort her, no sooner did Nafisa leave khadija than she (Nafisa) went to meet Muhammad (SAW), she asked him "why did you not marry Muhammad" he answered "I cannot afford marriage" she smiled and said "if there is anyone who could be eligible would you agree" he asked "who is she" and she said "khadijah bint Khuwaylid" he said "I would agree if she did"
Nafisa instantly went to khadijah to tell her the good news. On the other hand Muhammad told his uncles he wished to marry Khadijah, and Abu talib, Hamza and others went to khadijah's uncle Amr ibn asad.
The marriage was concluded.

To be continued.

Finally, I got the answer to the bashfullness talk...lol.


I couldn't do it. Lol.


I probably have exaggerated my boldness in the past

God help me with my heart desires.

deols: Finally, I got the answer to the bashfullness talk...lol.

Did you try to "experiment" and couldnt do it.

Amin.

Continuation:

Khadijah bint Khuwaylid

After the Prophet received Allah's revelation, he went home scared, pale and trembling. She encouraged the Prophet and went to her cousin Warqa ibn Nawfal, to tell him what happened to Muhammad (PBUH), accordingly Waraqa proclaimed "holy is he, holy is he whom in whose hand is warqa soul, if you are truthful khadijah, it is the great angel who came to Musa (AS) and Isa (AS), surely he is the Prophet of this nation, would you tell him to be steadfast"
Afterwards she went to tell her husband the good tiding.
Khadijah was the first to believe in Allah and his messenger and to embrace Islam.
She supported her husband and helped him endure the most severe kinds of torture and persecution, she relieved him when he was hurt or rejected.
Then the quranic verse was revealed
"O thou wrapped up (in a mantle)"! And thy lord do thou magnify! And the garments keep free from stain and all abomination shun! Nor expect in giving any increase (for thyself)! But for thy Lord's (cause) be patient and constant"
Al muddathir 1-7

Henceforth the noble prophet started a new life, full of blessings and hardships, he told his wife that time of sleep and comfort was over, khadijah then began to summon people to Islam. Afterwards the Muslims suffered many different kinds of chastisement, but khadijah was steadfast as a mountain. She put before her eyes Allah's statement:
"Alif lam meem. Do men think they will be left alone on saying, 'we believe', and they will not be tested"

When the people of quraish boycotted Muslims to besiege them political, economically and socially, she patiently endured the sufferings of the siege with him and his followers, she gave all what she had in the trial though she was sixty-five. 3 years before the hijra to madina, Khadijah died. The Prophet suffered many afflictions after her death.

The righteous soul went to her lord. Khadijah(as) was an excellent example in the field of the call to Allah and striving for his cause.
She was à wise wife who gave all what she had to please Allah (SWT) and his messenger.
The Prophet said: the best of women in it (paradise) is Maryam bint Imran, the best of women in it is khadijah bint Khuwaylid.

May Allah be pleased with khadijah bint Khuwaylid.

awesome work sisters, keep this thread going

babybuzx: Salam alaekum. Can a Muslim sister enter a mosque to listen to lectures and not to pray

As someone else commented on earlier it depends upon the particulars of the situation and the topic of whether a woman can enter a masjid has even divide the opinion of some scholars. (please please stop using the word mosque...it is derived from a Spanish word and loosely translates as the house of the mosquito)

My understanding of this issue is that a woman on her menses cannot enter into a place reserved purely for salah, so if your masjid is just open for prayer and no lectures you cannot attend but if it is also used as a center of Islamic learning you can attend lectures and other activities which will increase your knowledge of the deen and simply sit the prayer out. there is a great book which has compiled many of these issues it is called:

The concise presentation of the figh, the sunnah and the noble book by Dr Abdul Azeem Badawi.
