<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dear Friend</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">There had been a bunch of good lessons for this </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">world in all the marriages of prophet Mohammad. Among many other things, he exemplified before this world, how to rehabilitate a widowed woman and her children. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">His wives played a vital role in taking forward the prophetic mission to the next generation who in turn carried the message to the rest of the world. The wives of prophet Mohammad became role models for the women community of all times and most of them became scholars of their times.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here comes yet another marriage in dealing with the centuries old culture on Adopted Children. Prophet Mohammad had an adopted son named Zayd who was a slave freed by the prophet himself. Hence he was known as Zayd son of Mohammad. It was prophet Mohammad who arranged his marriage with a lady from within his own family. Her name was Zaynab daughter of Jahsh.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One key aspect of this marriage was that the male candidate Zayd was a freed slave and the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">female </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">candidate Zaynab was from a rich and noble tribe. In the time of prophet Mohammed, freed slaves were treated as inferior second-class people, as it had been for centuries. The marriage didn't last for long.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">"</span><span style="color: #993300;">The marriage, however, was not a success. Although both Zaynab and Zayd were the best of people, who loved Allah and His Messenger, they were very different and in the end they could not overcome their incompatibility. Zayd asked the Prophet's permission to divorce Zaynab more than once, and although he was counselled to hold onto his wife and to fear Almighty God</span><span style="color: #222222;">" - Ibn Kathir.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The social status of these two people created cracks in their marriage relation and it lasted only for one year.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The adopted son Zayd divorced his wife who was a cousin of the prophet. Here comes the crucial decision of marrying this divorced lady by prophet Mohammed himself. This marriage of prophet Mohammad was nothing but a demonstration of Islamic morals on the treatment of adopted children.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The society during the time of prophet Mohammad treated their adopted <span style="color: #222222;">son just like how they treated their natural son, in every aspect of their life. In general it is a very good practice and that is exactly what prophet Mohammad was doing. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">But when it comes on the moral side, there is a big difference in treating an adopted son, just like a natural son. I</span>n a single sentence, the Islamic morality says that -</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000099;">• </span><span style="color: #000099;">What kind of <u>moral</u> distance is kept before the adoption of a male/female, should be kept even after the adoption.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was for the materialization of this moral principle that prophet Mohammad married the divorced wife of his adopted son. A messenger who came to deliver the message of Almighty God by words and actions had to took the pain of marrying the divorced wife of his adopted son.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">

<u><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Morale Behind The Morality</span></b></u></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The morale is very high for this particular marriage of prophet Mohammad with the divorced wife of his adopted son. The 6th century adoption culture that didn't keep the moral distance, was in sharp contrast with the Morality Principles that Islam portrayed before this world. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">Islam has unambiguously defined the moral spectrum that should be maintained between men & women and for that, it brought forth the principal concept of '</span><span style="color: #000099;">Mahram'</span><span style="color: #222222;">. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #993300; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• The word 'Mahram' denotes the person with whom a man/woman cannot marry.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The word 'Mahram" denotes an <span style="color: #993300;">unmarriageable</span> person (male/female). For a male it is forbidden to marry his mother, his sisters, his daughters, his brother's daughters, his sister's daughters etc. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In order to maintain the Moral Integrity of the society, it has defined set of rules with respect to the concept of 'Mahram'. It clearly defines the Moral Distance that should be kept by a woman when dealing with a person whom she can marry. The moral distance should be kept in all the corners of life. For instance - </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The above verse explains the classes of people before whom a woman can interact in her homely appearance. <span style="color: #993300;">Notably, an adopted son doesn't fall into this moral spectrum</span>.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A bare minimum understanding of the conditions of this world before the arrival of Mohammad the Messenger of God should be learned prior to the understanding how he integrated the slave population with the mainstream elite community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Aristotle's View On Slavery</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Man had ever been influenced by his circumstance. His thoughts and actions were mostly derived from the circumstance in which he lived. The Greek philosopher Aristotle was not an excuse to this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aristotle was a well known Greek philosopher who lived around 300 BC. He lived around 2300 years before the arrival of Mohammad The Messenger of God. He is being studied even today in universities, throughout the world. He said -</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<span style="color: #cc0000;">Slavery is natural</span><span style="color: #b45f06;">; in every department of the natural universe we find the relation of ruler and subject. There are human beings who, without possessing reason, understand it. These are natural slaves.</span>" - ARISTOTLE'S POLITICS, translated by Benjamin Jowett.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Just like there was and there is black and white people by nature, Aristotle opined that some people became Slaves by nature!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Just like there was and there is tall and short people by nature, Aristotle opined that some people became Slaves by nature!<br />
<br />
If a well known philosopher like Aristotle thinks that some people became slaves by nature (!) then what would be the conditions of this world?</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip Of the Iceberg</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Aristotle's view on slavery was just a tip of the iceberg on the practice of this world with regards to Slaves. It is true that the historical Greece had a democratic constitution when compared with the then rest of the world. But even then the practice of slavery did NOT become an excuse to the Greek civilisation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">It is true that this superlative democracy rested on </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">slavery</span><span style="color: #b45f06;">, that when Attic imperialism was at its height </span></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">a hundred thousand citizens were surrounded by three </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">hundred and sixty-five thousand slaves.</span>" - </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: left;">Page 123, Making of Humanity by Robert Briffault.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">• There was a point in the Greek historical timeline at which majority of the population were Slaves!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The major reason for this plight was that Slavery and all its practices was a universally recognised one!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Another inevitable outcome of widespread slavery was the presence of Brothels. Slave women were kept at the brothels for nothing but flesh-trade. Continuous wars served as a major slave generating machines.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here comes the importance of the arrival of Mohammad the Messenger of God. What he presented before this world was <span style="color: blue;">a major paradigm shift</span> for this world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">• In specific terms, his mission was to unite this mankind under One God Who created them and what all that exists.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And for that, he taught this world, the essential qualities of a slave of The Merciful Almighty God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mohammad the messenger of God was incremental in the removal of slavery. <span style="color: #351c75;">It was an Integration rather than a removal</span>. We are yet to see how he could heal the cancer named slavery through his marvellous 23 years of life as a Slave and a Messenger of The Merciful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mohammad the messenger of God gave this world a new breathe that it is the best for a human being to be the slave of The Merciful rather than a puny slave of a puny human. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He called upon the masses to be the true slaves of Almighty God by submitting their life to the will of God. He recited the verses from the Glorious Quran.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Egypt had a long and well known history of slavery. Both the Old Testament (Torah) and the Glorious Quran gives solid evidences on presence of Slavery in the African country.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Torah On The Presence of Slavery in Egypt </span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is a well known history that the Israelites were being kept as slaves in Egypt. It was prophet Moses who rescued them from the persecutions in Egypt. It was Moses who brought the children of Israel out of Egypt the house of slavery.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"<span style="color: blue;">Then take care lest you forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.</span>” <span style="font-size: x-small;">– Deuteronomy 6:12</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here, the Israelites were being reminded of the blessings of Almighty God that He took them out of persecution i.e. out of Egypt.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><u>Quran - On The Presence of Slavery In Egypt</u></b><br /> <br />The ten sons of prophet Jacob who were in Egypt, plotted to kill their own blood brother prophet Joseph who was a child. Eventually they decided to abandon him and they threw him inside a well.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Later on, there came a caravan of travellers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And there came a caravan of travellers and they sent their water-drawer, and he let down his bucket (into the well).</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">" </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- Quran 12:19.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the traveller found a boy in the well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He said: "What good news!

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They made him a commodity to be sold in the market.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So they hid him as </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">merchandise (a slave).</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">" </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- Quran 12:19.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And they sold him in the slave market.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And they sold him for a few Dirhams.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">" </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- Quran 12:20.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Both the above testimonies show the presence of the centuries old practices of slavery in the Egyptian soil. Other historical sources also clearly confirm this point.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"</span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There were four classes of property. The first was that of immovables, to which belonged land; the second, movables which were inanimate, such as tools, clothing, money, etc. ; the third, movables which were animate, such as </span><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">animals</span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and </span><span style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">slaves</span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">" - </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #e06666;">THE LAW OF EGYPT </span>- Page 63, Historical Jurisprudence by Guy Carleton Lee.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In Egypt, the slaves were counted along with the domestic animals such as cow, sheep, dog etc.</span><br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></u></b>
<b><u><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The World Before Mohammad The Messenger Of God</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A glimpse on the conditions of this world before the arrival of Mohammad The Messenger of God would help to understand how he put forward his message that was claimed to be the revelations from Almighty God. Learning the conditions of the world before his arrival would help to understand how he cured </span><span style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Cancer </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">that this planet was affected with.</span><br />

The absolutism of the empires was imposed on the slave population. Those helpless slave population had to bare all such autocratic rulers with unresisted tyranny.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Civilization is one of the indispensable part of human growth throughout the history. Egypt was not different from the rest of the world. It had a great civilization. But those civilization was marred by the practices of </span><span style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">slavery</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kurbash is a tool for punishment. It is flexible and is about a yard in length. Egypt was known for the use of Kurbash. They used the Kurbash to discipline animals and slaves.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Slaves became the symbol of forced labour.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Above is only a tiny and extremely limited account on the conditions of this world, especially Egypt, before the arrival of Mohammad The Messenger of God.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mohammad The Messenger of God</span></u></b></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Eradication of Slavery by Integration</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. This is one of the precise wordings on what and how he could achieve in the marvellous episode of treating one of the cancerous disease named <span style="color: red;">Slavery</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mohammad The Messenger of God didn't have the crown of any of the emperor. He didn't have the authority of any monastery. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But he did have a profound message for the whole universe.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Following were the three worst conditions of this world during arrival of Mohammad The Messenger of God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">•</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The world emperors of that time <span style="color: #cc0000;">considered themselves as god</span>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">•</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The rich upper class people of that time <span style="color: #cc0000;">considered themselves as masters of their slaves</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">• The poor cattle-grade slave people had no option except being<span style="color: #cc0000;"> a cattle-grade slave of a rude master.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All such Emperors, all such Masters, all such Slaves, Mohammad The Messenger of God literally called them by one of the verses of Glorious Quran.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"<span style="color: blue;">There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Gracious </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">as a slave</span><span style="color: blue;">.</span>" <span style="font-size: x-small;">- Quran 19:93</span>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The above Quranic verse called the whole humanity to a common message, to a common platform. Never in the history, have we seen such a great message that called these three parties onto a common platform of unity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">•</span></span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For an Emperor, the above Quranic verse reminded him - <span style="color: #cc0000;">You are not god</span>. <span style="color: blue;">There is only one God and that you are only a slave of Almighty God, The God of Universe.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">•</span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For a Master, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the above Quranic verse reminded him -</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #cc0000;">You are not a master</span>. <span style="color: blue;">There is only One Master and that y</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">ou are only a slave of that Master, The Master of Universe.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">•</span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For a Slave, the above Quranic verse reminded him - <span style="color: #cc0000;">You are not a Slave of a puny human</span>; rather <span style="color: blue;">you are a slave of Almighty God, The Most Gracious to His slaves</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As a result - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">•</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Negus, The King of Ethiopia accepted the message.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">•</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Slave masters in the Arabian continent started accepting the message.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">•</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Downtrodden slave people in the Arabian continent started accepting the message.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And, the rest of the world started accepting this message of submission to The Master of The Universe.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><u>The Message of Equilibrium</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Historically speaking. This world had seen many thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle etc etc. No such great people could ever put forward such as great message of unity for this world, above what Mohammad The Messenger of God could put forward.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This message of <span style="color: blue;">Being the Slaves of Almighty God</span> brought The Emperors, The Masters and The Slaves, <span style="color: blue;">shoulder to shoulder</span>, in The Complete Submission to The Commands of Almighty God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">...</span><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Message of God's Slave & God's Messenger</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mohammad The Messenger of God said - </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, call me the Slave of Allah and His Messenger.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> - Imam Bukhari.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And it takes the whole 23 years of life of Mohammad The Messenger of God, the life of his friends, his wives, his righteous companions, to understand how one can be a <span style="color: blue;">True Slave of Almighty God</span>, instead of being a slave of a puny human.</span><br />

we see a couple who were among the staunch followers of prophet

fate of any such new believer was always on the edge of sword; at any
time they will be attempted for their life, just because they proclaimed
<span style="color: #000099;">The True Oneness of Almighty God</span>.

<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Dear Friend</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Thank you very much for your comments.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #993399; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">>>1. Why cant he wait for next 9 - 10 years ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #993300;">First</span> and foremost, after 8 years of the marriage, prophet Mohammad passed away. Hence, there was <span style="color: #993300;">little scope</span> of waiting for 9 - 10 years. Here comes the religious answer.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Religiously Speaking</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">The one and only answer on why prophet Mohammad chose a 9 year old girl in marriage, is that, it was <span style="color: #000099;">A Command from Al Mighty God</span>. Almighty God, being the Knower of the seen and the unseen, the past and the future, dictated that the marriage should happen exactly when it did happen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Had prophet Mohammad been acting on his own desires, the marriage itself wouldn't have happened, but it was not the case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #993399;">>>1. Why cant he wait for next 9 - 10 years ?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #993300;">Secondly</span>, as I said, it was not just for another marriage, prophet Mohammad married the 9 year old girl. If it was for just another marriage, he had a very good offer before him, by his enemies, <span style="color: #993300;">long before</span> his second marriage with <span style="color: #333399;">the 55+ year old widow</span>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Simply speaking, he couldn't wait for the next 9 - 10 years ( i.e. after his death ) because </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><i>- <span style="color: #000099;">It was for The Delegation of The Principles and Etiquettes of prophet Mohammad, for the future generation that he married the 9 year old girl named Aisha.</span></i>"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">He did <span style="color: #993300;">not</span> have the time to wait for next 9 - 10 years </span><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">( i.e. after his death )</span><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;"> because -</span></div>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Islam puts forward a <span style="color: #000099;">Completely Perfect Guideline</span> to all the corners of life or at least it claims so.

<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">For instance, consider a woman in her menstrual periods. Prophet Mohammad addressed this very state of mankind with <span style="color: #000099;">utmost respect, dignity and seriousness,</span> through Aisha who was one of his wife.</span></div>

<u style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>The Known History Of Slavery</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Code Of Hammurabi is one of the oldest legislation in the known history of </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">humans</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. In <u>2250 BC</u> (before Christ) The King of Babylon named Hammurabi legislated the law and hence it is known as The Code Of Hammurabi. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The code contains the constitutional laws during that time. Among the rules were the laws regarding slaves. The high frequency of references of slaves in the code shows that how deeply the people of the time practised slavery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u>Position of Slaves</u></b><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Slaves were part of the society even before the king Hammurabi. When one go through these code of law, it can be very clearly seen that there was one law for high class citizens and another law for the third class slaves.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>I Wrote - </b><br /><br />Dear Friend<br /><br />Prophet
Mohammad is halfway through his mission. He is 54 years old and he is
the head of the state of Madina. About 14 years of his prophet-hood is
over. Now he is entering the second and the final phase of his
prophet-hood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><u>The Third Marriage</u></span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
"<span style="color: #993300;">They dressed her in a wedding dress
made from fine red striped cloth from Bahrain and then her mother took
her to the newly built house where some women of the Ansar (people of
city of Madina) were waiting outside the door. They greeted her with the
words, "<span style="color: #000099;">For good and for happiness, may all be well.</span></span>" - Imam Ibn Kathir.<br />
<br />Above were the response from the people of Madina when prophet
Mohammad married the 9 year old Aisha, who was the daughter of his
closest friend. It was the people of his city, who were making the
arrangements for the marriage.<br />
<br />- The parents of Aisha were well aware of The Great Mission of her marriage to prophet Mohammad.<br />- The relatives of Aisha were well aware of </span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Great Mission of her marriage to prophet Mohammad.</span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- The people of Aisha, in the city of Madina were well aware of </span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Great Mission of her marriage to prophet Mohammad</span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /><u>The Mission behind the Marriage with 9 Year old Aisha</u><br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I hope you haven't forgotten the so far a few Principles and Etiquettes of prophet Mohammad. In simple terms -<br />
<br /><span style="color: #000099;">- It was for The Delegation of The
Principles and Etiquettes of prophet Mohammad, for the future generation
that he married the 9 year old girl named Aisha.</span><br /><br />If there
exists a relation under the sky, by which one can clearly measure the
personality of another person, it is The Marriage Relation.<br />
<br /><u>Why at 9 ?</u><br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- It was <span style="color: #660000;">not </span>why prophet Mohammad chose a 9 year old girl. <br />- It was why prophet Mohammad chose Aisha who was at 9.<br /><br />"<span style="color: #993300;">Some
might have viewed the marriage of Muhammad and A'isha as an exceptional
marriage, but then the two partners were exceptional people. The
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the last
of the Prophets and the best of creation; and<span style="color: #000099;"> A'isha was a very intelligent and observant young girl with a very good memory</span>.</span>" - Imam Ibn Kathir.</span><br />

verse by verse, and people's hearts were constantly being turned over
and transformed, including hers and </span></span><span style="color: #000099; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #993300;">C. <span style="color: #000099;">S</span></span></span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="color: #000099;">he was a witness <span style="color: #993300;">of so much of all that took place</span></span>.</span>" - </span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Imam Ibn Kathir.</span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />

not change A'isha's playful ways, and her young friends continued to

dolls," she once said, with the girls who were my friends, and the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would come in and
they would slip out of the house and <span style="color: #000099;">he would go out after them and bring them back</span>, for he was pleased for my sake to have them there.</span>" - Imam Ibn Kathir.<br />

the knowledge of 'A'isha were placed on one side of the scales that of
all other women on the other, 'A'isha 's side would outweigh the other</span>.
She used to sit with the other women and pass on the knowledge that she
had received from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) and long after he had died, and as long as she lived, she was a
source of knowledge and wisdom for both women and men. Abu Musa once
said, "Whenever a report appeared doubtful to us, the Companions of the
Prophet, and we asked 'A'isha about it, we always learned something from
her about it.</span>" - Imam Ibn Kathir.<br />

This was the response from the father of the 55+ year old widow, when
he was asked her daughter in marriage, to prophet Mohammad. <br />
<br />"<span style="color: #993300;">There was great surprise in Mecca
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would
choose to marry a widow who was neither young nor beautiful. The
Prophet, however, remembered the trials she had undergone when she had
immigrated to Abyssinia, leaving her house and property, and crossed the
desert and then the sea for an unknown land out of the desire to
preserve her religion</span>" - </span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="color: black;">Imam Ibn Kathir.</span></span></span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />

<br />"<span style="color: #000099;">A woman is married for <span style="color: #660000;">four things</span>, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So <span style="color: #990000;">you should marry the religious woman</span> (otherwise) <u>you will be a losers</u>.</span>" - Prophet Mohammad.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />Prophet
Mohammad chose a 55+ year old widow as his wife only because of her
religion: - She was persecuted only for her belief in One God; she
migrated to Ethiopia only to protect her belief in One God.<br />

If you are a human being, then you should know this. You should know this, because it was <span style="color: #cc0000;">The Greatest Ever Disaster</span> that this mankind has ever seen, since his inception on Earth. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Being a slave of a fellow human being, was <span style="color: #cc0000;">The Greatest Disaster</span> that the mankind ever faced. The history of slavery dates back to the history of human civilization on this planet. The so called civilized society carry forwarded the slavery and all its subsidiaries till the end of 18th century!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Even though slavery is banned by all countries, the aftermaths and the side effects of the practices of past slavery is still seen today.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">With the so far recorded history, nobody had ever tried to liberate this mankind from the dark practices of slavery or at least they couldn't achieve the result. But there is an exception. There is an exception for a man from 6th century who claimed to be The Final Messenger of God. He was Mohammad The Messenger of God.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was this 6th century Messenger of God, who
liberated this mankind from the slavery of human beings. He transformed people from being the slaves of humans to <span style="color: blue;">The True Slaves of Almighty God</span>. It is a great deal. Yes, <span style="color: #990000;">it is a great deal</span> to understand how Mohammad The Messenger of God achieved the superb victory in the history of mankind, in liberating the people from being the slaves of fellow humans.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Yes, again, <span style="color: #990000;">it is a great deal</span> to understand how Mohammad The Messenger of God transformed people from being the slaves of humans to The True Slaves of Almighty God.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was not an
overnight liberation; it was a well coordinated guideline. Mohammad The Messenger of God had taken several decisive decisions. For a 21st century man, it is very difficult to apprehend those decisive decisions taken by Mohammad The Messenger of God. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">- Because he doesn't know what is meant by slavery. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">- Because he doesn't know the practices of slavery. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">- ... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But when you read this, you will, you will have to or you wouldn't have any other choice.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
aftermaths of the negligence or ignorance of this guideline, is still
seen in the very 21st century! The debate will be a little bit lengthy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: small;">This is not an imaginary script. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">- This is history. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">-</span><span style="font-size: small;"> This is wisdom. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">- This is logic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">- This is Justice. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">- This is sign. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">- This is challenge. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And more. After all, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is The Message from The Almighty God who created all that exists.</span></div>

people asked (something such as money) from prophet Mohammad. He gave to
them. Then they asked him again, and he gave to them until he used up

</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Since finance is the backbone of a family, it is very important to understand these principles.</span><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>

Let <span style="color: #660000;">not a group scoff at another group</span>, it may be that the latter are better than the former.<span style="color: #660000;"> Nor let (some) women scoff at other women</span>,
it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor defame
yourselves, nor insult one another by nicknames. Evil is the name of
wickedness after faith. And whosoever does not repent, then such are</span> <span style="color: #000099;">indeed wrongdoers.</span> Quran 49:11<br />
<br />- Don't ridicule one another, be it between persons, be it between families, be it between any kind of groups.<br />- Don't ridicule one another, because the one who you ridicule would be better than you.<br />- Don't ridicule one another by calling nicknames. <br />
<br /><u>Behavioral Etiquette - 2</u><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">O
you who believe! Avoid much suspicion; indeed some suspicion is sin.
And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat
the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it. ...</span> Quran 40:12<br />
<br />- Don't talk based upon suspicion without having any evidence because it is a sin.<br />- Don't spy other matters because it is a sin.<br />- Don't backbite one another because it is a sin.<br /><br /><span style="color: #333399;">Backbite is equivalent to <span style="color: #660000;">eating the flesh of a dead person !</span></span><br />
<br /><u>Behavioral Etiquette - 3</u><br />
<br />"<span style="color: #000099;">Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales;</span><br style="color: #000099;" /><span style="color: #000099;">• do not spy on one another;</span><br style="color: #000099;" />

<br /><u>Behavioral Etiquette - 4</u><br /><br /><span style="color: #660000;">"<span style="color: #000099;">And
turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence
through the earth. Verily, Allah (One God) likes not any arrogant
boaster. And be moderate in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily,
the harshest of all voices is the</span> braying of the asses.</span>'' Quran 31:18-19<br />

a house, there will be mother, father, children, servants etc. When the

should seek permission before entering the room. It should not be like,
they suddenly open the door and meet father and mother.</span></div>

therein, still enter not until permission has been given. And if you are
asked to go back, go back, for it is purer for you. And Allah is
All-Knower of what you do</span>. Quran 24:27-28<br /><br />This is about etiquette of entering a house. Before entering a house, the permission should be asked.<br /><br />- It should not be directly getting inside the house, if one don't get any reply from within the house.<br />- It should not be peeking through the windows, if one don't get any reply from within the house.<br />- It should not be going through the backside of the house, if one don't get any reply from within the house.<br /><br />And when you are asked to go back, then go back without saying I am so and so etc.</span><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span></div>

his parents ?" The Prophet said, "'The man abuses the father of another
man and the latter abuses the father of the former and abuses his
mother.</span>" - Prophet Mohammad.<br />
