In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Lesson
Islam is a natural
religion and has complete Code under practice for the entire life of human
being. It shows the way of acquiring betterment and welfare for the life in
this world and the Hereinafter. Islam is masterly over the entire sections of
human life. There is no such problem of the life; solution of which; it doesn’t
explain and there is no direction, commands about which it doesn’t issue.
Collective life of
the mankind begins from a family. If the family life is successful and the
relationship among husband and wife are in well condition then it is evident
that every individual will find himself in a very good environment. He may be
able to do his work with good manner. The children will find superior model
role for themselves and they will follow their elders on the straight path at
the time of their maturity. So, Islam makes better the family life of a Muslim.
The husband and the wife have central position in the dynasty. If there are
good relations and mutual cooperation between them, then every child of that
family will go ahead upon the way of improvement; step by step easily. But if
the relationship between husband and wife is in worse condition and they are
disunited due to their thoughts and deeds, then it is much difficult for them
to move forward collectively, and their misunderstanding will prove fatal also
for their children.
Islam is also
apprised this side of human nature and determines the divorce lawful in case of
pressure. If any person wishes to divorce, then he should do so after deep
meditation. If the woman feels lamentation due to her husband’s behavior, then
she may also be gotten released. But the Divine Law of the Religion has imposed
some orders and restrictions to realize the importance of married relationships
of man and woman, for instance if the husband has devised firm resolution of
divorce and doesn’t reconcile during the period of ‘iddat (term)
after the second divorce, moreover he divorces her wife third time, then he
can’t re-marry with her after it. If he wants to re-wed then its condition is
very harsh. That is to say; any other person would have to wed the divorced
woman, do the act of intercourse with her and then either divorce her with his
will or he dies, and then thereafter; she has to complete her ‘iddat period.
This remarriage is called literally Halaalah. But after
this Halaalah, the
re-marriage can only be performed in such form when both of them establish
according to the orders of Allah Almighty, because they both have to think
about paying the rights of one another, and have to believe in it. Otherwise,
the situation of the destruction of one another’s rights and their mutual
quarrels will come again. And they both will fall in sin.
Holy Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has cursed those men in
one Hadith out of his Sayings, who make it (divorce) their
profession, because a man weds a divorced woman for the purpose that he will
divorce her again, so that, her first husband may re-marry this above-mentioned
woman.
Alas! The Muslims
didn’t recognize the rights of these questions and made the religion droll.
Which restrictions were imposed by the Divine Law of the Religion on divorce,
didn’t care for them. As and when we wanted, we divorced without thinking.
Whenever the anger subsided, we gained our wits, began to lament and we chose
unlawful forms of Halaalah. All this badness grew due to
carelessness from the religion, ignorance, foolishness and not respecting the matters.
