Socio – Cultural Evolution
Salaam brother Sameer ” we people have the tendency to cherry pick the favors that are result of a responsibility and forgetting the responsibility itself.” You summed it up so well. And yes indeed Mr Ghamdi’s responses are so mind appealing and logical. Religion didn’t hold much appeal to my mind for years because most scholars’ approach drives one away from religion. But Mr Ghamdi is the reason I turned towards religion. May Allah reward him and his entire team in a massive way for the massive service they are providing for people like me . Ameen
Hi all. This is such a controversial topics that can be discussed forever. In my opinion, Allah recommended the best model for a family institution. It is not a sin for an individual family to break the model as they think if another arrangement is better. Be warned though, sometimes humans try to be smarter than the creator. It takes a lifetime to try something and then a person may find out that he was not smarter than the creator. What is being suggested in this conversation and more, I tried over my lifetime and on every case I found out that I am not smarter than Allah. Now it is too late and I learned my lessons at a great cost. Now I don’t question Allah’s guidance but try to better understand it. I am surprised that it is assumed by both genders that following Allah’s recommended family organization mean woman can’t work, can’t be productive or can’t educate herself. Where does it state that in Islam? Also as a man, I would love to give my responsibilities of earning money and taking care of the family and protecting the family and participating in war to women, while I can work on my career and keep all my earnings for my personal use.
