What is Shariat?

What is Shariat?

Shariat, is the Islamic Law, the basis of which is to tell Muslims how to behave in every aspect of their lives, from trading, praying, eating, walking, sleeping, inhaling to even such private matters as, how to have sex with your wive.
The purpose of Shariat is to provide a guideline to all Muslims for a perfect behaviour. Shariat derives its laws from the behavious of Prohpet Muhammad himself, as Muslims regard him as complete and perfect and his behavious as to be the ultimate example for all of Muslims of the posterity. This is the basis of Shariat. And it is not surprising that innocent Muslims cant repeal the law of Shariat.
Muslims cant forsake the writ of Shariat, until and unless they forsake Islam itself. And this act amounts to apostasy, the punishment of which is death.
Actually this writ of Shariat against the raped women is not a strange phenomenon. As I said earlier, Shariat derives its laws from the deeds of Prophet Muhammad himself.
So this episode of a raped women being transferred to her rapist derives inspiration from the life of Muhammad himself.
Once it so happened that Prophet Muhammad visited the home of his son. At that time his son was not at home and his wife Zainab bint Zahsh was bathing, being naturally undressed. Muhammad saw her through the chink of the door and becane so enamoured of her, that he made his son divorce Zainab and married her afterwards.
So, this recent episode in India is not after all so strange. It has its parrells in Islamic history and the life of Muhammad. Only we Hindus are too lethargic to explore the history.

  • So what about that?

    What if he was the adopted son?

    Does that make it right for him to marry the wife of his adopted son, especially when he had declared it illegal previously?

  • this IS all fake
    i have search ALOT but i found nothing like this
    THE THING THAT I FOUND IS AS FOLLOWS:
    Zaynab bint Khuzayma, may Allah be pleased with her, was married to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in Ramadan, 4 AH, soon after his marriage to Hafsa when he was fifty-six years old and she was thirty years old. After she had been made a widow when her husband was martyred at Badr, she offered herself in marriage to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who accepted her proposal and married her. Zaynab bint Khuzayma was so generous to orphans and the poor that she came to be known as the ‘Mother of the Poor’. She died only eight months after her marriage, may Allah be pleased with her, and although not a great deal is known about her today, there will be many who will testify to her generosity on the Last Day.

  • Saumetra Sen what you have written about my Beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is disgusting and untrue. So much hatred for a Prophet of God is vile. I think you should repent and ask for forgiveness.
