WE
THE [selfish] MUSLIMS Assalamualaikum, Last month a young cousin of mine passed away. Oral cancer took his life. That whole week we spent anxious time sitting on the wooden chairs stone steps, the railings….wherever we found a place…all waiting, praying, and no need to mention, it was too painful to think about our brother and his pain. Each of his organs failing with each passing day and then slowly with each passing hour, his pulses began diminishing. His two year old son kept asking his mother, when his Abbu will be taken home, he was bored sitting in the hospital he said, missing his Tom and Jerry re runs. His a little girl insisted to be taken to the ICU for a glimpse of her father, and then the moment came and their Abbu was taken home, at last. Motionless. They say not to grieve after three days. And it was
four months and ten days for my sister in law. Soon after, the
women of the home began instructing her. She was not to venture
out of the home and no makeup and the stuff. These, they all
said and rightly so, were instructions from our Prophet Muhammad
saws. So far so good. But to ask her not to venture out of her tiny room?
Not to talk to even women? Cut to the scenario post four months ten days. She is still found in that tiny room, though frail
and fragile, and yes, alone. I began wondering, all those who asked the widow to
stick to Islam and Prophetic injunctions, …. Would they have the
same attitude, same adherence to Islamic rules, post iddat? If she decides to remarry, to begin her life anew?
Won’t they begin criticizing her, for sticking to Islam? Would they still have the courage to say yes to our Prophet Muhammad saws's kindest ruling about widow remarriage? Our Islam begins where our selfishness ends.  Ms. Asma Anjum Khan Editor-in-chief |
