99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Mizaan- Javed Ahmad Ghamidi

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Social Shariah,
Part- 46

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All praise is due to Almighty Allah,
And may the peace and blessings of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Almighty Allah be upon his trustworthy
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I seek refuge with Allah from the
accursed Satan,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the name of Allah,
most gracious and merciful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ladies and Gentlemen, In 'Mizaan', Part 2,
we are discussing Social Shariah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the second part
of this series.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This matter is clear from every 
aspect that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Shariah of Islam has established
marriage as the foundation of society.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As a result of this, the most significant,
valuable and divine relationship on earth

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is the relationship of parents.
Ethically, the behavior towards our

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
parents has already been mentioned several
times in previously discussed chapters.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here, certain legal aspects of this will 
be understood.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have made the 14th and 15th verse of
Surah Luqmaan as the introduction

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to this topic. Surah Luqmaan is
the Quran's 31st Surah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wa wassainal insaana bi waalidaihi 
hamalat hu ummuhoo wahnan ‘alaa

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wahninw wa fisaaluhoo fee ‘aamaini 
anishkur lee wa liwaalidaika

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ilaiyal maseer Wa in jaahadaaka ‘alaaa an
tushrika bee maa laisa laka bihee ‘ilmun

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
falaa tuti’humaa wa saahib humaa 
fid dunyaa ma’roofanw

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wattabi’ sabeela man anaaba ilayy; 
summa ilaiya marji’ukum fa unabbi’ukum

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
bimaa kuntum ta’maloon.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has been translated as:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And We enjoined man to show 
kindness to his parents,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with much pain his mother bears him 
and he is not weaned before

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he is two years of age. We advised him,
be grateful to Me and to your parents.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To Me shall all things return.
But if they press you to serve besides Me,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that of which you have no knowledge, 
do not obey them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Remain kind to them in this world, 
and turn to Me with all devotion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To Me you shall all return, and I will 
declare to you everything you have done.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have written that all divine scriptures 
instruct man to show kindness

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the parents.
i.e., In Islam, being kind to the parents

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
has always been the utmost standard 
of behavior.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No one should be served besides Allah,
and parents should be treated

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with kindness.
These are the most important commands

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the religion of Islam. Therefore,
all messengers have instructed the same.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All divine scriptures have also 
emphasized it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All divine scriptures instruct man to 
show kindness to the parents.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Various verses of the Qur’ān also 
direct the believers to be

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
well-behaved to the parents.
In the 23rd and 24th verse of the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Surah Bani Israil, the 8th verse of 
Surah Ankabut,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the 15th verse of Surah Ahqaf,
this topic is stated in these verses

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by using the same terms 
approximately.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The verse which i have used as the
introduction to the topic of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Directives relating to parents,
that verse is the 14th and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
15th verse of Surah Luqman.
These verses have also emphasized

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the same thing more or less.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The above quoted verses however 
specifically determine the limits of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
good behavior with the parents.
i.e., as long as the ethical instruction

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was in consideration, a man was enjoined
to show kindness to his parents.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Show kindness to your parents
and in order to show kindness,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a man is made aware of what is the role
of parents in his upbringing,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what hardships they go through.
And as a child, if you indeed have some

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
human kindness, what should be your 
behavior towards your parents.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
?This topic has been discussed in 
Surah Bani Israil, Surah Ankabut

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and Surah Ahqaf which i have mentioned 
above.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All of these verses, from the virtuous 
point of view, have stated the importance

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of this, narrates Almighty Allah's 
instructions, admonish people

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and raise awareness among them.
And the importance of showing kindness

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to parents which is present in 
human nature has been mentioned in it,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and also being reminded by it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the verses of Surah luqman,
with this some limitations have been

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fixed, and this the difference on the 
basis of which i have selected these

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
verses to discuss here.
i.e., in case of righteousness,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
only principles are under discussion,
and in case of ordinance, the limitations,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
warnings, and terms and conditions
are discussed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This difference should be considered 
i.e., one being a law which can be passed

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in a state, which has its own limitations
but when Almighty Allah states that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one thing is shariah and the other
is hikmah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have mentioned it earlier and explained 
with evidences that the whole content

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of Islam, everything included in this 
religion has been divided into two parts,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hikmah which means faith and virtues,
which is the true religion,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and Al-Kitaab i.e., based on laws.
