Speech 1- Inter-Faith Marriages

Assalamualaikum
Ayah number: 221-223
Surah: Al-Baqarah
Surah Meaning: The Cow
Surah Description:
2nd surah of the holy quran After Surah Al-Fatiha
Longest Surah in the Holy Quran
Includes the Longest Ayah of the Holy Quran (2:282)
Consists of 286 ayahs.

Its Tafseer is as follows:

A Muslim man cannot market ry a non-muslim woman, unless she has converted to Islam.
Why:
In Islam, the relationship is based upon faith. Islam even disregards blood relationships if iman
is absent from that relationship. The son of Abu Bakr Siddiq accepted and embraced islam very
late.
His Son after accepting Islam Narrates:
There was a time in the battle when you came under my sword and I spared you and did not kill
you because you are my father. Hazrat Abu Bakr As-Siddique replied, O son of mine if I had
the opportunity to kill you in that battle, then I would have because you came to war against the
Beloved Messenger.

A flood came to the area where Hazrat Nuh and his Believers and disbelievers lived. The flood
was so severe that the water reached the heights of mountains and there was no where left to
secure ones life, and people were drowning. In that state of helplessness, the son of Hazrat
Nuh began to drown. At that particular time, his son hadnt accepted the prophethood of Hazrat
Nuh. When Hazrat Nuh knew his son was about to drown and be killed, he begged Allah (s.w.t)
to save his son. Allah (s.w.t) said to Hazrat Nuh that he's not your son, he's not your family.

Message Learned/Conclusion: Allah (s.w.t) denies the blood relationship with kaffirs. You're not
accountable to Qari sab or any living matter on this temporarily dunya, you're accountable to
Allah (s.w.t). When you call yourself a Muslim, it means you are believing in Allah (s.w.t). You
are believing in Quran, you're believing in Rasulallah (PBUH) and if you are going against what
Allah (s.w.t) has asked you to do, then don't call yourself a Muslim. Allah (s.w.t) says, if you
believe in Islam , then you can't come up with your own things. One should not just say he is a
Muslim, He should prove that he/she is a muslim by following the sunnah of the Holy prophet
and the Holy Quran revealed to him from Allah (s.w.t)

One Wrongly Proved Point of view: It is in the Quran that it is permissible for a man to marry a
woman who believes in a book revealed from Allah (s.w.t), but a Muslim woman cannot marry
anybody but a Muslim man.
Why? A Muslim man has been given permission to marry a Christian or Jewish woman under
strict circumstances. Even a Muslim man cannot marry a non - Muslim woman. It is the
responsibility of a father so that the children are raised as Muslims. A father cannot force their
children to follow the same religion as their parents, it is against the law. So you are putting
yourself accountable to Allah (s.w.t) because you have no control over your children. In this
country you cannot do this, this is true, the people from the social services are the real parents,
they can take away your children anytime, social services own your children, and you have no
control over your children. I cannot change Quran, this is quran, this is Islam. Im sure non
Muslims are listening, I am not that kind of person who will deceive people in order to please
them. These marriages with non-muslims is only bringing you closer to hell. Now people twist
the story and say Oh you hate them. Just because I am not marrying your daughter, it does
not mean I hate them. This is the law, this is the way we are, the thing is, we have guidance
from Allah (s.w.t). Where did the Hate and Love come from!?. They say, You hate them which
is why you dont marry them.
On the other hand, Islam teaches Muslims to build a happy and corresponding community
where all of us live as role models to each other.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that if someone reminds another person of their old religion,
they should expect himself or herself to die as a non-muslim. When a person has accepted
islam, one should not remind them of their old religion, this is a really big sin. Infact converting a
non - Muslim to a Muslim gets you good deeds, and marrying them is also a really good deed.

Jazakallahu khaira

Speech- 2 Ladies Impurity

A period is Islamically defined as impurity. until a woman is on their period, A sexual

relationship between a male and a female cannot take place. However, this doesnt mean you
cant even touch your wife. Before the time of Rasulullah (s.a.w), if their women were on
periods, they were kept in a secluded corner of the houses. During that time,they thought of
women as a thing that cannot be touched, but Allah (SWT) in the holy quran says no to this act.
The only prohibition is for sexual contact as proven by science today. Other than that. A woman
can live her normal everyday life.

Morale- Islam has given women respect. Nowadays, people talk bad about islam. Islam
abolished any discrimination against women.

Hadith- Who is more clean than prophet Muhammad (PBUH)? No such person has ever lived
nor ever will. Hazrat Ayesha narrates,despite being on my period, I used to comb and massage
Muhammad (PBUH) head.If periods was such a bad thing then, the first person refraining from
contact would be the holy prophet. Rasulullah is the best role model ever lived on earth
 Anyone who is praying to Allah is making Tawba. So stay Neat and Clean because Allah
(SWT) then Allah will love you. When you are clean, it brings you close to Allah (SWT). Impurity
cannot come close to Allah because Allah (SWT) himself is pure.

Speech-3 Relationship between a husband and a wife

A husband and Wife meeting up together is also a good deed and a husband and wife
relationship is very special. There was a time, the sun was above Muhammad (PBUH) and he
was sweating. Ayesha (RTA) was walking by and started staring at Muhammad (PBUH). After
some time, Muhammad (PBUH) asked Ayesha (RTA) O Ayesha, you were walking by,all of a
sudden stopped and are continuously staring at me, why is that?. Ayesha (RTA) says, O
prophet of Allah the sun's rays are reflecting off of your beautiful face and I see noor coming off
which is why I cant look away. Allah (SWT) says, In the world, the husband and wife can meet
all the time, but remember, one day, you also have to meet me. Nowadays, people always
swear to god, but Muhammad (PBUH) says that a person who swears to god to much is a liar. If
a person says Wallah (Swearing to Allah (SWT)) to something and doesnt have a bad intention
towards it, then Allah the most gracious, the most forgiving says, I forgive you. When a tennager
becomes 13 or 14, he is no longer a child from the eye of Islam. Namaz is now compulsory on
him or her. For Namaz, you need to be pure and there are certain things on the body that can
cause impurity, especially hair. When a kid is growing up, he 2 if you have done wudu, it will not
be accepted for you are still impure and the hair cannot be longer than a grain of rice.

Speech number 2
Ayah number: 217-220
Surah: Al-Baqarah
Surah Meaning: The Cow
Surah Description:
2nd surah of the holy quran After Surah Al-Fatiha
Longest Surah in the Holy Quran
Includes the Longest Ayah of the Holy Quran (2:282)
Consists of 286 ayahs

To leave a very luxurious life, a peaceful life, only for the sake of Allah (SWT). Ibrahim (AHS)
was a king. So one night he was sleeping in his palace and he heard someone walking on the
roof and he called, who is walking on the roof?. The man on the roof replies, I lost my donkey,
Im just looking for it. Ibrahim (AHS) then says You cannot find a donkey on top of a roof, of a
palace!. Then the man says. The beautiful and luxurious bed you are sleeping in, you wont
even find God on that bed. After Ibrahim (AHS) heard that from the man, his life changed. Soon
after the next day, Ibrahim (AHS) left all of his stuff and headed for the jungle and started
worshipping Allah (SWT). Ibrahim (AHS) stayed in that same jungle for a couple years and a
man was walking by coming from the palace. The man saw Ibrahim (AHS) sitting on top of a
tiger. He asked Ibrahim (AHS), why are you on top of a tiger. Ibrahim (AHS) replied, when I
was a king of a palace, things werent right for me, now Allah (SWT) has made me a king of the
lands. So Ibrahim (AHS) migrated from kingship to someone who devotes themselves for the
sake of Allah (SWT). A women that I know wrote to me saying that Soharwardy is telling all the
muslims to go back to their country. Look at me, even I migrated from Saudi Arabia to Canada
for job opportunities, our kids education and other sorts of things like that but the migration in
Islam, only has 3 reasons and there is no 4th reason. In Islam, one of the few reasons why you
can migrate from a muslim country to a non-muslim country is to teach someone about Islam.
You can also migrate if youre life is in danger or if you are persecuted. Now we all have
migrated from a Muslim country for the sake of Allah (SWT). The reason for Syrian refugees
migrated from a Muslim country to a non-muslim country is reasonable because their lives have
been persecuted. So their migration is reasonable. Now the people who came here for
economical reasons or job opportunities, then listen to me and you can agree if you want. You
can commit to saying, Ya Allah (SWT), I have come to this country and so have my children.
Now the rest of my life I want to hand over to you and I will bring people closer to Islam.
Therefore, your migration will be accepted. Allah (SWT) will judge us on the intention, not the
action. Today I was at the police station and I was talking to the police and I told them, there is
not a single verse in the holy quran without Jihad and Jihad is a very sacred and holy word for
Muslims. Jihad does not mean what ISIS is doing, or what the Taliban are doing or what Al -
Qaida are doing. Jihad is not extremism. Waking up for Fajr prayer is also Jihad. A man who
works all day and comes home for rest but only stays awake for Isha prayer is making a big
sacrifice. Struggling in the path of Allah (SWT) is Spiritual growth, the knowledge of Allah, the
learning of Allah, the companionship for Allah and the Love for Allah (SWT). That is Jihad. You
have to leave the things of this earth. You have to leave the temptations of the world and then
youll find Allah. Nowadays, every time you talk to a person, theyll start up a new problem.
There will be new problems, but the answer to them is the holy Quran and Rasulullah (PBUH).
The Vice President of the United States went on and said These are modern Muslims. He said
I like Islam in Indonesia because it it modern Islam. Now our answer is that, Islam was modern
about 1400 years ago. Islam will be modern for the next 1400 years and will be modern until
Qiyamah. The thing is, Islam has the answer to every new issue in the modern times. The
answer to the question was the same as it was 1400 years ago. Another issue is that, in
Pakistan, people have made Alcohol halal. Jawed Iqbal said on TV that Alcohol is halal.A man
found a verse in Surah Qiyamah saying that Alcohol is clean and the people in Heaven will be
drinking Alcohol. In Arabic, Alcohol means drink. In Urdu, Alcohol means Alcohol. The alcohol
given to the people in Jannah will not be the bad alcohol but it will be made from the love of
Allah (SWT). After drinking the alcohol in Jannah, a person doesnt lose knowledge but gains
knowledge. Allah (SWT) says, O Muhammad (PBUH), they will come to you and ask you about
drinking and gambling. Just say to them, this is a really big sin. Today in medicine, alcohol is
being used. So Allah (SWT) has said Alcohol has benefits like after drinking medicine, I person
can feel relaxed. There are some medicines that are being made that cannot be made without
using alcohol. In Islam, when a doctor has prescribed medicine to you, then it is allowed to
drink. If there is a cough syrup that does not use alcohol, then there is no point for a person to
take the cough syrup with the alcohol. Abu bakar Siddiq has narrated that when he was a kid
walking down the street, he saw a drunk man. The drunk man stopped and peed on the ground.
Then after the drunk man was done peeing, he dipped his face inside the pee. Ever since then,
Abu bakar Siddiq has hated alcohol. Forbidding Alcohol had a couple steps to it. 1st - it was
bad. 2nd - dont drink it before praying and the 3rd step is alcohol, gambling and drugs are the
works of the devil and dont go anywhere near it. Abdullah - ibn - e - auf had a really big
company of alcohol. He had lines and lines of camels who carried alcohol. Abdullah - ibn - e -
auf had to travel somewhere to he started with his journey. In Madinah, alcohol had been
forbidden and the Rasulullah (PBUH) told the sahaba to go around and tell everyone that
alcohol is forbidden. So as soon as Abdullah - ibn - e - auf heard this news, he took down
each bucket full of alcohol and just dumped it on the ground. He didnt even say, Oh no, my
business is ruined, I should go talk to Rasulullah (PBUH) and explain to him. But no, he just
dumps all of the alcohol on the ground with his own two hands. The sin in gambling and drinking
is more than its benefits.

Speech number 3
So today we will be discussing from verse 228 and onwards. So the previous verses were about
divorce. As we all know that divorce is acceptable in Islam. It is halal but it is the most disliked
thing from all halal things. Remember, there is a possibility of conflict between husband and
wife. So the man always threatens to give divorce and the women also says that yeah sure
gimme divorce. This is not right! The conflict between husband and wife should be resolved
according to the guidance of Allah. Marriage is not about having a relationship between
husband and wife. The basis of the islamic social system, starts from the family. Family is a unit,
of the big thing that we call the social system. If the family is not intact, then the community will
not be intact and is the community is not intact, then the islamic social system is not intact and
nothing makes satan happier than the divorce between husband and wife. Yes this is the hadith
of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH). SO that is why even though it is allowed, satan still gets
happy and the family is broken. There are 2 opportunities for men and women that is they have
a problem and they want to divorce each other, they can still reconcile. Allah (SWT) says, there
are 2 divorces. If the husband gives divorce to the wife the first time, then Islam says that there
is still time that you can reconcile but now you only have one divorce left. Why are there 3
divorces, Ill tell you the background to this. Before Islam came to humanity, in the time of
ignorance, it was a common practice in Arabs that women werent considered to be humans.
They would not be considered humans and men would blackmail them in the morning, and
reconciling by the night. Give divorce one day and come back the next. It was like a women
were a toy. Is was like women were a toy that can be played with all day and when the women
were fed up with that toy, they didnt care about it. That was the treatment for women before the
arrival of prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Islam. Islam stopped that treatment of women and Islam
gave that honour to women that no other religion has. You kick her out, you bring her back,
there was no respect, no honour, no dignity to women, but Islam gave all of that to women. So
when that were countless times when husband and wife had divorce, islam said that this has to
stop so they gave the limit 3 times. If the divorce was given 1 time, then there is time to bring
back your wife. If the divorces was given the 2nd time, then there is still time to bring back your
wife. If the divorce has been given the 3rd time, then she is no longer your wife. The first 2
divorces are called reconcilable divorces. The 3rd divorce is the final divorce and that the
husband and wife should no longer be together. So this is not about respecting men or
honouring men, this is about respecting women. This is about respecting women in the time of
ignorance when they were treated like toys. Now Im talking about calgary alone. If the husband
gets angry and gives divorce to the woman in fact he gives 3 divorces. Now that he gave 3
divorces, the problem gets worse. Now the husband goes to Qari - sab and the Wife goes to
Qari - sab. He says to Qari - sab that I got angry and I gave divorce. Now I want to ask, who
gives divorce in happiness. A man will only give divorce if he is angry. Have you ever heard that
a man says to his wife that oh my wife, you look so charming and so glamourous and because
of this I will give you divorce. Remember, anger doesnt stop a divorce. Men are raised one level
higher than women. What does that mean, that you can just slap your wife whenever you want,
No! Men have not been raised one level higher than women because of their gender, but of how
much responsibility they have. That is the reason men are raised one level higher than women.
Men should have patience. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) says that Zainab brought him a plate
of dates. He is just sitting there eating his dates happily. Then Ayesha (RTA) came along very
angrily and hit the plate of dates so hard that it shattered to pieces. If someones wife did that to
her husband than God knows what he would do to her. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) says that,
just tell them that Ayesha (RTA) came along and broke it. He just simply said that she broke it,
thats it. There was no screaming no yelling no signs of anger. Men should have more tolerance,
a bigger heart. You should be ready to sacrifice more, that is a true man. When I was a school
boy, I used to do speeches and we also talked about these things. We always blamed the
western world that there is more divorce over there. In Canada, every marriage, ends up in
divorce within the first 5 years of that marriage. That is about 40% of marriages in Canada. Now
the thing is that the amount of divorces in Pakistan is very close to that percentage, it is about
25 or 30% in Pakistan. So that is a thing we should be thinking about. Islam wants to fix things
but we want to break things. Men have such a big ego that if women talk back then theyll say
that oh I just got so embarrassed. When prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated from Mecca to
Madinah. Hazrat Omar was a very strict man. So when Hazrat Umar came to meet prophet
Muhammad (PBUH), he saw that Ayesha and Hafsa (RTA) were talking to prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) very openly. Of course Ayesha (RTA) was the wife of Rasulullah (PBUH) so she can
talk to him. Hafsa (RTA) was the daughter of Hazrat Umar (RTA). So when Hazrat Umar (RTA)
saw Hafsa (RTA) talking openly to Rasulullah (PBUH), he started giving her a lecture and said
how dare you talk to Rasulullah (PBUH). Then Hafsa (RTA) said that Oh my father, this
happened after we came to Madinah, in Mecca, women weren't even allowed to speak. So the
point is that, there is a difference in culture between Mecca and Madinah, even in Rasulullah
(PBUH) times. A man shouldnt reconcile to the women like If you ever do this again, I wont
leave you. The man should reconcile in a respectful way. Look at this Islam, look at this quran.
Even in divorce, the quran is asking the man if you want to divorce, if you need to divorce, if you
have no option but to divorce then you can divorce but divorce in a way, so that women get
more favours. Over here, most men push their wives out of the house. Other times, women
push the men out of the house. Its not just men. Other times the woman would have to call 911.
Let me tell you something. If a husband and wife have problems at home, and someone calls
911. If the social services people show up, their first wish is for your family to break apart. They
will try their hardest to take away your children, and separate the husband and wife. Thats what
they do. Social services always try to break apart the family, this is from my experience. The
mom will be screaming that give me back my children! They still wont give back the children. So
if there is ever an argument in a house, which there is in every house, then the man should
have the most patience. This is mutual respect, not just one-sided respect. If you have given
your wife divorce completely, then bringing the stuff that you gave her back is not halal for you.
So at the time of divorce, do not take things back from what you gave to that women but if the
husband and wife split the stuff 50 - 50 on an agreement, then that is ok. The divorce that a
woman gives is called Khula. Women can also ask for divorce. Rasulullah (PBUH) narrates that
any woman, that asks her husband divorce for no reason, will not even smell the sweet smell of
Heaven. I mean going into Heaven is a big deal but wont even smell the sweet smell. Now that
you have given all three divorces to your wife, she is no longer halal to you, therefore, she can
marry to some other man. Now think back to the time of ignorance, when women were treated
like toys. Now Allah (swt) said that instead of a man abusing you and telling you stuff, you can
ask for divorce and marry another man and there might be a chance that the other man might
be better so that the wife can live in peace. Allah (swt) wanted to give an opportunity to women,
that they can marry another man if the first man is abusive. If the woman marries the second
man, and the second man also turns out to be abusive, to the woman is crazy, then if the first
man or woman are asking for marriage again, then that is allowed. Now if the husband and wife
have problems with each other, then you can either divorce with respect, or you can reconcile. If
the husband has reconciled after the first or second divorce only to bother the woman even
more, then that man is not abusing the woman but is actually abusing himself. A woman is the
same creation as the man. Allah (swt) loves a woman just as much as he loves a man. Fear
Allah (swt) because he knows everything. I want you to realize why there are problems in our
houses. Rasulullah (PBUH) narrates that there are four reasons why a man marries a man or a
woman marries a man. One of them are because of their appearance and Rasulullah (PBUH)
says that this marriage will not last because beauty cannot stay forever. The second reason is
because of wealth but Rasulullah (PBUH) says that this marriage will not last because wealth
will not last forever and wealth makes a person greedy anyways. The third reason is because of
your sexual desires but Rasulullah (PBUH) says that this marriage will not last because your
sexual desires will only last a week or so and then it will slowly go away. The fourth reason is
because you want to marry a relative but Rasulullah (PBUH) says that this marriage will also not
last. Now I ask, which marriage will be long lasting. Rasulullah (PBUH) says that a marriage
based on piety and respectfulness will be a long lasting marriage. That marriage will be long
lasting says Rasulullah (PBUH). The thing that amazes me is that even after so much
knowledge of Islam in this country, Muslim women and men marry non - believers. If you try to
explain it to them, they wont understand. When I was in Vancouver, an Imam told me about a
beautiful Muslim young lady who married a Sikh. Now this lady wanted to impress the Sikh
people and the Muslim people. So she and the Sikh man went to the mosque, the Sikh man
converted to Islam and then they got married. The next day, then went to the temple and got
married over there. Marriage is no joke. We should not choose someone as our life partner just
because we like them. In this country, people live together without even being married. They
just say that we live together. They also say that we are getting everything so why should we
get married. In Islam, there is no living together thing. Nikka is when Allah comes in between. If
there is no nikka, then there is no Allah in your marriage.
