A strange
case about divorce that took place in India, I came to know. Here I
give its contents as I was told me by one of my friends. I am sure
along with amusement this case also puts some light on many aspects
of a Muslim marriage.
A strong
willed Muslim woman as came to know that her husband is indulging in
womanizing by visiting prostitutes frequently. As always no proud
woman can accept this behavior of her husband. She contacted one
Moulawi and consulted him for his expert advice. As per that counsel
she decided to approach a Kazi to apply for divorce from her husband.
The case
was put up in the court of that Kazi. She appointed a very talented
Moulawi to put up her side. Moulawi told in the court that as per
sharia and fiqh a Sunni Muslim cannot have any type of relation with
any other woman without expressed consent of his wife. A husband must
maintain celibacy when wife is not available. And so the accused
having violated the condition has no right to continue to be husband
of his plaintiff.
On that
husband appointed one more intelligent Mouawi to put up his case. His
pleader the Moulawi told in the court of the Kazi that his client is
a perfect Sunni person and he has not done anything wrong. He further
told the court reminding honorable Kazi the definition of term Sunni.
According to custom, Sunnah means, to emulate the life style of
apostle of Allah. Do as he did so one should do. Life style of
Apostle of Allah is unquestionable and nothing is more important than
that. If any rule given in koran or fiqh crosses Sunnah they are to
be rejected as against the Sunnah. Sharia was created after death of
Prophet and so it is not above Sunnah. In this case topic of sex life
of the prophet was concerned and so all arguments were on that basis.
As such he told the Court that as every body here knows that rules of
Sharia are not compulsory as rules of Sunna for a Sunni Muslim, they
should not be put up in this case. Only sex life style of Prophet be
considered. Kazi admitted of that plea. He further pointed out to
Kazi that Apostle of Allah never practiced celibacy of which Koran
and Sharia often mention. Therefore, celibacy is not to be practiced
by the true Sunni Muslim. He should womanize like Prophet. People in
the Court began to clap joyfully.
On that
Kazi admitted that and asked him to further provide what he wants to
say by this?
Husband's
Moulawi further told that Apostle of Allah was known to had been a
womanizer. He told that Hazarat Mohammad Paigamber (PBUH) had forty
concubines and untold Coptic prostitutes, he had also eleven wives
and he is known to have married them without prior consent of any of
the previously existing wives. While keeping concubines he never took
any prior consent of other wives. Therefore, he admitted that his
client has done exactly that, he went to prostitute without any prior
consent of his wife. Since, this act of his is in accordance with
Sunnah, his position as a true Sunni Muslim cannot be challenged. His
wife cannot demand divorce (Talaq) on that account. He further argued
that in Koran Apostle of Allah admitted some rules which he never
practiced in his own life. This double standard is noticed in many
places. The Moulawi asked a question to honorable Kazi, "Sir,
tell what is more important? Sunnah or Koran"? To that Moulawi
himself answered, Sunnah, of course! On that Kazi did not object. All
people in the room also applauded the Moulawi and opposite Moulawi
did not comment or oppose on that.
The
argument was accepted and his wife lost the case; she did not get
divorce and was asked to adjust with her truly Sunni husband! Kazi
further told her to respect her husband because he is emulating
Apostle of Allah. Kazi further advised her to appreciate the way her
husband is following Apostle of Allah, he told her actually she
should be very proud of him for that. People in the court looked very
pleased on these comments of Kazi.
That
Muslim woman was not somebody who will accept that defeat. She did
not want to attract any venereal disease and so she consulted some
more knowledgeable Moulawis of great experience and she again filed
another complain in the Court of other more knowledgeable Kazi.
Again one
more case came up for hearing in the presence of that more
knowledgeable and old Kazi. Husband had put up the same Moulawi to
put up his side. He again put the same points and challenged this
repetition of the same case in front of other Kazi. Gathered people
began to laugh at that woman.
After he
had completed his argument Moulawi of wife stood and told the Court,
Apostle of Allah was indeed a womanizer but there was a system in
that. He further said that his practice of libertine life was
controlled by those things in that system of Sunnah. He told giving
evidence that Hajarat Mohammad Paigamber (PBUH) did not go to his
concubines during days and he indulged with prostitutes only during
nights. He also further showed to the Court that he had done it
between two important prayers, "Isha"
and "Fajr" prayers. After having sex with his concubines he
would take a bath and then do fajr prayers. Apostle of Allah never
missed a prayer. After putting this explanation he pointed out to
Court that this man (the accused) goes to prostitute during days and
does not take bath after that. He also does not do five prayers.
Therefore, this man has no right to claim to be a true Sunni. Just by
going to prostitute one does not become Sunni. He also put up the
fear his wife had felt. That Moulawi told to elderly Kazi all that
and after proper consideration honorable Kazi took appropriate
decision. Wife was granted divorce.
Apart
from amusement this case open many other rather strange things about
Islam.
I
consulted some knowledgeable Arab Moulawi and also critics of this
subject and there they told me that Muslims of Indian sub continent
are not true Muslims of Arab standard. They told me that Islam could
not come to India through Arabs because the then rulers of Rajasthan,
the great Prathihara kings defeated all Arab invasions. Islam was
introduced to India by Mogul and other turk invaders from Afghanistan
via Punjab. Where Prathihara were not ruling. These Mogul introduced
not Sunni or Shia tradition but Sufi tradition of Islam and so all
Hindustani Muslims are actually Sufi Muslims and neither Sunni nor
Shia. Even though they claim to be so that claim is not substantiated
by evidence. This they told me when I asked them why Arabs do not
give their daughters to Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi
or Afghanistani Muslims. They also told me about authentic
Sunni prayers and sex practices. They also told me that for Arabs
Hindustani (this includes Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi
or Afghanistani Muslims) Muslims are like their slaves or dogs
and not any equal. Being slaves or dogs they have right on these
Muslims. I have seen Indian Muslims behaving like slaves with Arabs
and that confirmed this claim.
Truly
Sunni prayer practices as given by the Arab Moulawi, Fajr prayer to
be done before Sun rises. Zuhr prayer to be at about 12 noon, Asr
prayer at about 3 o'clock, Maghrib at about seven o'clock, Isha
prayer to be after Sun sets any time but before midnight. Total five
prayers every day.
For busy
people Zuhr and Asr prayers can be clubbed together. Similarly,
Maghrib and Isha can be clubbed together and if this is done there
will be three prayers every day for a truly Sunny Muslim compulsory.
Each
prayer comprises of eight rakats minimum and 12 rakats maximum.
People having more time may do more rakats but that is optional and
not compulsory. When two prayers are clubbed together for that
combined prayer 16 rakats minimum and 24 rakats maximum are
essential. Sick and old may do only 2 rakats in each prayer. Rakat
means bowing for Allah at the time of namaz.
About sex
life of a truly Sunny Muslim he can have sex with any number of women
and the Sunnah is that he cannot rape a woman. He can not have sex
unless the woman is willing and watering. Here watering means she
should have fluid oozing from her vagina. To have sex while woman is
not watering that sex is shirk, very sinful and throw the man into
Hell-fire (at the time of kayamat). The condition when woman is not
watering is called frigid condition. A truly Sunni Muslim will not
touch a frigid woman for the purpose of sex. After having sex he
must take a thorough bath and perform namaz with three (minimum)
rakats praying Allah to forgive him for the sex if he has done it
with any other woman but his wife. It generally believed that Allah
forgives!
