aaahh i see so for security purposes..pero sir kinahanglan ba jd nga minyoan ni muhammad ning mga tiguwang nga widows? if ang iyang sole purpose is to help look after them..i mean surely muhammad has all the means to watch over these poor widowed women and he doesn't have to actually marry them?..kinahanglan ba jd maminyo ang usa ka muslim woman if ma separated sya or ma biyuda?..what if she can fend for herself?..and doesn't need any man to support her?..naa bai mga negative social implications kng ang usa ka muslim woman dli muminyo ug usab?..even if she doesn't need support to a man?..is there a choice sir malic if a widowed or separated muslim woman not to marry when she has the capacity to fend/take care for herself?

yes kinahanglan jud sir , kay according to them ang mga women sa panahon nila looy kaayo because dependent kaayo sa lalaki.

dili man puede sa Islam Ram nga mo take care ka sa mga babaye nga widow kung dili mo related.

well kung makaya niya nga siya ra osa then siguro dili nato minyoan ni propeta muhammad.

Yes sir they can stay a widow kung kaya nila but it is better nga naa silay provider and protector. kay sa islam Ram ang kwarta sa babaye iya ra jud na, dili maka angkon ang bana ana unless ihatag sa Asawa. so kng magminyo siya naay mo provide sa iyang mga needs then ma saved pa jud niya iyang kwarta.

Islam does not permit forced marriages. kung naa man ga practice ani, they have violated the LAW of the Qur'an.

Are Violence and Extremism Islamic Phenomena?
by: Mufti Yusuf Al-Qadarawi


It is very important to note that violence is not an Islamic phenomenon. There is no meeting point between Islam and violence as practiced by terrorist groups in different parts of the world. The true religion of Allah does not permit aggression, violence, injustice, or oppression. At the same time, it calls to morality, justice, tolerance, and peace.

Responding to the question, the prominent Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi states the following:

It cannot be said that violence is an Islamic phenomenon. Violence has no religion or nationality. If some Islamic groups are involved in violence and are considered extremist, there are also other groups and even nations that are known for committing acts of violence, such as Israel, or Hindu groups in India.

Violence has no nationality; it exists everywhere. The list of individuals, groups, or even nations that use violence to attain political aims is quite long. Israel has the worst record of using violence and committing atrocities against the Palestinian people as well as the Lebanese.

Some people, particularly Marxists and communists in general, want to interpret the phenomenon of violence as the result of economic injustice. We cannot deny the truth in this explanation. The Qur’an did not underestimate the financial factor in explaining certain phenomena such as killing the children out of destitution or out of fear of pauperism.

Others explain violence using the conspiracy scheme, meaning that behind all this violence is a diabolic design. This interpretation is quite popular; it alleviates any sort of responsibility because someone else is accountable, and at the same time it renders us impotent vis-à-vis political oppression. We are facing religious, social, and political oppressions. The human being is free; therefore one should not accept this explication. Even if some people really are conspiring against us, is that an excuse? Why don’t we make our own plan? Should we always be victimized by others?

A single answer to this phenomenon is unacceptable, because it is a multi-faceted, compounded, and complex problem. Some of the reasons behind this phenomenon could be attributed to internal, external, and psychological factors; some can be attributed to intellectual factors; others are social or economic. Some people focus on the external factors. This is neither objective nor scientific thinking; there must be a reconciliation between all the factors.

There are many factors to this phenomenon:

1. The absence of a moderate line of thinking. It is important that prevalent moderate Islamic thought come into the open in order for a multitude of young people to find their way instead of going underground. The absence of such a line of thinking left the ground open for extremist thought and philosophy.

2. The absence of true scholars who are capable to convince with the proofs from the Qur’an and Sunnah. Their absence left the arena open to unqualified, the so-called scholars working for the authorities. Consequently, the youth lost confidence and appointed themselves as sheikhs to issue fatwas on complicated problems.

3. Oppression of the people and lack of democracy led the people to take things into their own hands. Oppression breeds violence, and violence breeds more violence.

4. The non-application of the Shari`ah is also a main factor, as many countries state that Islam is the official religion of the country, and others may add that Islam is the main source of the laws. After this, people see enacted laws that run counter to the Shari`ah, and for sure such laws provoke young men to commit acts of violence.

5. The propagation of corruption and the proliferation of oppression in society are also reasons for frustration.

COVENTRY, England — More than 1,000 Muslim teens joined this week the three-day “Al Hidayah" (Guidance) camp in the central city of Coventry, dedicated to shield them against the dangers of extremism.

"I feel it is my duty to save the younger generation from radicalization," Muhammed Tahir ul-Qadri, a 58-year-Sufi preacher, told Reuters.

"We need to prepare them mentally and academically, intellectually and spiritually, against extremist tendencies and radical and terrorist attitudes," he added.


Qadri, who was born in Pakistan but now lives in Canada, is the main draw at the three-day retreat, delivering several lectures and question-and-answer sessions.

His message is about moderation, peace, inclusion and understanding.

"Islam is not a religion of seclusion, it is not a religion of detachment," he told an auditorium packed by attentive young audience.

He urged them to respect followers of other faiths and show the true image of Islam.

Qadri is also preaching them that men and women are equal within Islam.

"What he says is mind-opening, it makes you feel good as a woman," said Sofia Saeed, a 27-year-old legal assistant who traveled from Manchester to attend the camp.

"There's no discrimination here. It makes you feel like a stronger believer, a stronger person," she said, comfortably mixing designer sunglasses with her hijab.

Over the past five years "Al Hidayah" has reportedly grown into the biggest spiritual camp of its kind, with more than 1,200 attendees from a dozen countries.

The campers -- girls and boys wearing traditional dress -- sit separately in the auditorium.

Qadri advises the Muslim teens to be careful not to fall into the traps of radical ideologies.

"Any killer of a non-Muslim citizen, he will go to hell,” he hollers, to shouts of approval from his followers.

“Those who are committing terroristic acts from Pakistan and Afghanistan and claiming it is jihad -- they do not know what jihad is. It is forbidden. There will not be janna (paradise) for them."

Jihad is one of the most misunderstood, and abused aspects of Islam.

Muslim scholars concur that the word means "struggle" to do good and to remove injustice, oppression and evil from society.

This struggle should be spiritual as well as social, economic and political.

"We need to provide them with an awakening of the true picture of Islam," says Qadri, the author of more than 400 books on Islamic scholarship and law.

He is a renowned scholar of Sufism who travels the world delivering sermons to Sufis.

His Minhaj ul-Quran organization has spread to 80 countries, from Greece to Fiji, since its 1981 founding.

Western governments keen to tackle the spread of radicalism in their countries have worked with Sufi scholars and tried to emphasize their teachings.

In Britain, home to more than 2 million Muslims, the government at first worked to promote Sufism, supporting the creation in 2006 of the Sufi Muslim Council, a group that took a strong stand against extremism.

Does Qur'an teach Violence?


Shedding more light on this issue, Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, President of the Fiqh Council ofNorth America, states the following:

The Qur’an says about the prohibition of murder, (…Take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus does He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.) (Al-An`am 6: 151) and Allah says in the Qur’an, (Nor take life, which Allah has made sacred, except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, We have given his heir authority (to demand Qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the law)) (Al-Israa’ 17: 33). According to the Qur’an, killing any person without a just cause is as big a sin as killing the whole humanity and saving the life of one person is as good deed as saving the whole humanity. (See Al-Ma’idah 5: 32)
