| Hajj
for Human Dignity and Unity |
|
Abu Uthman al-Sabani al-Shafii (d 449) in his book Kitab ul Maitain narrates
Prophet Muhammad as saying, "towards the end of the time, four main groups
of people will flock around the Kaaba to perform Hajj: The powerful rulers to
have fun or to enjoy the occasion, the rich people to promote their businesses,
the poor to seek financial support and the reciters (or scholars) to demonstrate
their skills."
Al-Sabuni was not an ordinary scholar. He
narrated the Hadith after ensuring that the matan or text and isnad or chains
are sound. He once said "I never narrated a Hadith nor a non-Prophetic
report in a gathering except if I possessed its chain of transmission; nor did I
ever enter the library except in a state of ritual purity; nor did I ever
narrate Hadith, nor hold a gathering, nor teach, except in a state of ritual
purity."
Are we living in that period that was predicted
by the Prophet? Has Hajj really become a type of ritual devoid of any meaning?
Is Hajj an individual ibada (worship) that requires
a believer to spend time and resources to get closer to an omni-potent and omni-present
God? Has the Hajj become a business in our times? Or has it become a vacation?

Love in a Nylon Headscarf

It is a universally acknowledged truth that all Asian parents want their
children to get married and settle down. It is the final and most important duty
of the parent toward their child. It is also an Islamic responsibility to help
your child find a suitable spouse. Only when the offspring are paired off can
the mother and father sigh with relief. So momentous and significant is this
obligation, and so huge is the impact of the choice of partner, that parents
fret about finding that spouse from the moment the child is born. It is the job
of parents, mothers-in-law, and Aunties to network furiously and line up
candidates. The girl and boy do not necessarily need to be involved. They can
just turn up on the day, if they are required, in order to attend the communal
meeting, as Ali and I had done.

Favors Should Be
Repaid with Kindness:
... Ibn Umar reported that the Phophet of God, upon him be peace, said,
 If someone seeks refuge in the name of God, give him refuge. If someone asks in the name of God, give him something. If someone does you a favor, repay him. If you cannot find anything with which to repay
him then pray for him so that he knows that you appreciate what he has done for
you.
