An islahi bayaan offering guidance to Muslim women regarding marital conduct, avoiding un-Islamic practices like fortune-telling and impermissible taweezat, overcoming jealousy, and navigating difficult marital relationships.
Key Lessons
- Role of Mothers: Great leaders of Islamic history (such as Hazrat Umar, Khalid bin Walid, and Salahuddin Ayyubi) emerge from mothers who emulate pious women of the past rather than worldly influences.
- Un-Islamic Practices: Consulting astrologers, palm readers, fortune tellers, reading horoscopes, or seeking non-Shariah taweezat is strictly impermissible and deprives one of spiritual blessings and protection.
- Spiritual Remedies: The ultimate protection against harm and evil eye comes from repenting from sins, pleasing Allah, and regularly reciting authentic Adhkar and Ayat (such as the Manzil, Ayatul Kursi, and the three Quls).
- Dangers of Jealousy: Hasad (jealousy) towards sisters-in-law or relatives causes inner torment and destroys marital peace. True envy is only permissible regarding someone's good deeds and ibaadah.
- Resolving Marital Conflict: Sudden outbursts from a spouse often stem from underlying issues rather than minor surface triggers. Couples should communicate openly, self-reflect, and seek wise, trustworthy advice from scholars.
Quranic/Hadith References
- Mention of Hadith warnings regarding visiting fortune tellers and losing the intercession of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
- Reference to protective verses including Ayatul Kursi, the three Quls (Surah al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq, an-Nas), and verses from Surah Yunus.
Practical Advice
- Daily Protection: Recite Ayatul Kursi, the three Quls (thrice each), and the protective verses of Surah Yunus every morning and evening, blow on your hands, and rub over the body and children.
- Eradicating Jealousy: Whenever feeling envy over another person's worldly blessings, make dua for them and ask Allah to grant you what is beneficial or reward you in the Akhirah.
- Seeking Help Proper Way: If spiritual treatment is necessary, ensure it is done through a reliable scholar and with the consent and involvement of a mahram.
- Addressing Marital Issues: When experiencing constant friction in marriage, identify the root cause together, rectify personal shortcomings, and consult experienced, pious advisers rather than airing grievances publicly.
