Some of the courses have specified a QA session, but this one doesn't mention it in the course information. So you'll just have to wait and see.
Jazakallah khair. I wonder if this Aqida class by Shaykh Mangera will be the same as his recording in Zam Zam Academy, i.e pre-recorded. I have many questions to ask for aqida class.
I dont think they will be the same. For one, these will be live sessions, not pre-recorded. Second, the ones on ZamZam Academy are actually quite advanced (at least intermediate level), while these Foundational Courses are intended for beginners. Nevertheless, if there does happen to be a QA session, Im sure Mufti Sahib wont mind answering an advanced question.
Wife shoots husband for secretly marrying another woman
Ramallah: A Palestinian woman has been arrested in the West Bank town of Nablus after she shot at her husband for secretly marrying another woman.
The sources said the woman from Kofr Qallil got into a bus at the taxi stand of Nablus wearing a veil (niqab) to avoid detection by her husband.
After her husband and his new wife got into the same vehicle, the woman pulled out a gun and shot her husband to the utter dismay of passengers.
When the police was called she did not resist her arrest and she was heard shouting "I have killed this animal. He deserves it. That is his punishment for cheating on me."
However, she would be shocked to know that her husband survived because the driver rushed him to a nearby private hospital, the sources added.
According to the new Sharia laws, a man could not remarry without telling his first wife.
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
The word "Mawlana" literally means our master. It is a word of honour and respect normally used in the Indo/Pak for a person who has graduated from a traditional religious institute (Dar al-Uloom). The words Alim, Mawlavi and Fadhil are also used for the same person.
It is also used in the Arab world (out of regard) for a respectable person, not necessarily a religious scholar. During my stay in Syria, many times I heard the Arabs say: "Ya Mawlana" (O our master) or "Ya Sayyidi" (O our leader).
It is clear from the above that there is nothing wrong in calling someone Mawlana. It is merely a word used to respect someone you have regard for, such as a religious scholar.
Those who object to this, say that the real "Mawla" (master) is only Allah Almighty, and therefore to grant somebody the name of Allah is not permissible.
This however, is incorrect, as many words and titles used for Allah Almighty are also used for his servants. The great commentator of the Holy Qur'an, Imam Ibn Kathir (Allah have mercy on him) states in his Tafsir:
"There are certain names of Allah that are used (as names) for other than Allah, and certain names of Allah are exclusive for Him alone, such as: Allah, al-Rahman (Merciful), al-Khaliq (Creator), al-Raziq (Sustainer) and so forth" (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 1/42).
The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) was described as "Rahim" in the Qur'an, which is also a name of Allah Almighty. Similarly, the term "Rabb" is used repeatedly in the Arabic language (in connection with another word). The books of Fiqh are full of this. The head of a house is called Rabb al-Bayt, even though, the word Rabb is used for Allah Most High in the very first verse of the Qur'an. The word 'Mawla' itself is used in the Arabic language for a master of a servant or slave.
In conclusion, it is totally permissible to call a person "Mawlana" out of respect. One should always remember that these are trivial matters, and one should avoid arguments with regards to it. The Muslim Ummah is in need of more important matters to be solved.
I thought one of the schools required getting permission or informing the first wife and another school states that it's not necessary for the first wife to know about the marriage even after it has been consummated! I can't remember which school said what.
Are you sure? I know that in the Hanafi madhab at least it is not necessary to inform or seek permission of the first wife. I've never read of any ikhtilaaf on this issue among the 4 madhabs.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
