Question
I am a female. My parents demand that I attend university. I have refused. They say that I am disobedient and I will be punished by Allah Ta‟ala for disobeying my parents. Does the Shariah oblige me to obey my parents who want me to pursue a secular career and attend university?
Answer
It is haraam for you to attend the university brothel. It is haraam to obey this haraam order of your parents. Politely, respectfully and firmly refuse. Do not displease Allah Ta‟ala for the sake of pleasing the haraam wishes of your parents. They have no right to force you to commit haraam and to ruin your Akhlaaq and despoil or eliminate your Imaan by casting you into the vortex of fisq, fujoor and kufr.
SOLITUDE AND
SECLUSION
Hadhrat Ayyub Sakhtiyaani (Rahmatullah alayh) said that a man who has a sincere honest relationship with Allah, detests that people should know even where his house is. In other words, he remains in seclusion, loves seclusion and has a strong aversion for associating with people.
"Who is there to give Allah a beautiful loan so that He will increase it manifold? It is Allah Who bestows prosperity and causes adversity."
(Al-Baqarah, Aayat 245)
When this Aayat was revealed Hadhrat Abu Duhdaah Ansaari (Radhiyallahu anhu) came to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and said: „O Rasulullah! Allah Ta‟ala is asking us for a loan?‟ Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: „Yes, undoubtedly.‟
This Sahaabi had a beautiful orchard in which were 600 date palms. His house was also in this orchard. He presented the entire orchard as a „Loan‟ to Allah Ta‟ala. After making Waqf of the orchard, he went home and said to his family to immediately vacate as he had handed over the orchard to Allah Ta‟ala as a „Loan‟.
This was the attitude of the Sahaabah who were unaware of Fiqhi technicalities. Nowadays fiqh‟i technicalities are manipulated by the Ulama for transforming haraam into halaal. Far-fetched, baseless arguments are proffered in the satanic attempt to override the Shariah. The overwhelming attitude of the Sahaabah was obedience.
EVIL OF BID‟AH
Hadhrat Uthmaan Bin Abil Aas (Radhiyallahu anhu) was invited to a circumcision function. Refusing the invitation, he commented that during the time of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) there were no circumcision functions.
Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Mughaffal (Radhiyallahu anhu) said: "I did not see anyone who hated bid‟ah more than the Ashaab of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam)." The Sahaabah did not tolerate the slightest diversion from the Sunnah in any sphere of life.
THE REWARD OF SADQAH
Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiyallahu anhu) narrating a Hadith of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that even one date given with sincerity as Sadqah on condition that it is from halaal wealth, Allah Ta‟ala accepts it and nourishes it. Thus it increases until it becomes as huge as Mout Uhd.
