Salam Br. Ali - That was yet another great vid and yes, I too think that was even better than last week's. I am glad you covered this topic yet again. It even helped me - an oldie, lol. (I think at least!)It's definitely something I am seeing more of these days within the Ummah. By the way, was that a bit of a plug for the production you guys are putting together (eg. TNC)? Anyways, looking forward to the finale next week. Thanks so much for another wonderful series. May you be rewarded for you efforts! Peace.

great episode, more serious than usual, but that was probably needed. But what if your parents don't get out much and the only hope of you getting married is to venture out yourself? Then is it okay?

Great Video again Br. BaBa Ali :) Today our FRIDAY KHUTBA was about what you were talking about at 8:25. "This is just a temporary world...the hereafter is FOREVER". So we must always think about our actions. Jazak Allah Kool Khair

yooo me and future wife want to get married. We started liking each other so we told our parents and they approved it, but they want us to wait until after we get jobs before they do anything. That means no nikka, not even engagement for 6 years (cuz of med skool)! wut do we do?

doesn't Islam allow mutah (temporary marriage) as a means to got to know someone before we make a huge decision like marriage?

still doesn't work for me !!!

 
At March 15, 2008 12:21 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

No Islam doesnt allow temporry marriage. A marriage should be forever. If a marriage ends then the SEVEN HEAVENS SHAKE. That is how much it is disliked by Allah!
Having said that, the vid was awsome masha Allah. Its a shame that people are forced to have these relationships behind their parents back in order to "please their parents" yet they donnot want to please Allah SWT.

At March 16, 2008 11:53 AM, Blogger Unknown said...

Alhamdulillah to the video....

to some of the questions above, forced marriage is not allowed in Islam. And to the person who is in med school and cannot get married for next 6 years, you still cannot be alone with your 'future wife' unless there is a third party who KNOWS the relationship of both of you.

 
At March 17, 2008 11:50 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

SELAM, good topic. People who are not intending to get married yet should put their focus on learning more about Islam not on the opposite sex. If people are planning to marry then they should discuss what they are looking for in a husband and wife and skip the dating for years seen. It is not good to prolong marriage. There is no playing around when it comes to marriage. It is a very serious decision and should be taken seriously. The more time you spend dating around the more haram you end up doing.

Masha'Allah! This video is absolutely amazing. It was a great reminder for me and really opened my eyes to the fact that i might be going down the wrong path by considering a person i know a 'friend'. Even though i do know that it's not possible in Islam for a guy and a girl to be 'just friends'. But, yeah, i needed a reminder. Plz pray that Allah gives me the strength to do what's right.

MashaAllah brother, because of your video I've been able to advise my teenage friend through you, something I had tried many times but never seemed to have an effect coming from my mouth...

JazakAllah khair, and I sincerely pray that Allah gives you every success in this life and the hereafter.

I'm proud to be your sister in Islam.

you SHOULD have started from number 1, you forgot the main teaching of allah and the prophet anout this issue.keeping that point in mind will help outr brothers and sisters in islam.
it is LOWER YOUR GAZE!
if no one is going to look, then these issues will never start, which is the way it was planned.

Assalamu3alikum!!!!!!

Wallahi bro, this was spectacular. You probably get that alot, but it does effect many lives, in a good way al7amdulilah.
Once in the grasp of haram, you try hard to steer your way around in order to lie to yourself and think that its not haram.

"im not doing zina"

You try to 'twist' the truth in order for it to suit you. Thank you Ali, for putting this into perspective. Jazaak Allh Kheir. You helped make me a better Muslim, and i appreciate it.

Sallamu3alaikum bro.

Hey Baba Ali,
Thanks for your clips. I just wondering in the way that you are presenting this matter, you just went straight to the haram point of view. As you said it before marriage is expensive now a days, and young man cannot do it in anyways sadly. The desier to be with someone is hard to find, but when you found it and your parents, religion and other mankind low make it not to happen you will go to the Haram way. Put everything aside and forget about them.

Been a muslim I am looking for a muslim girls. I had seen a girl 5 years ago,only coz of been Sunni or Shia our parents didnt let us to happen. Make it short, Religion didn't come to separate us, It came to make us as one. So yes, now a days Haram ways to get what you want is easier and better.

Sorry But that the reality

Assalamu'alaikum Ali...
Sorry 4 this, but I don't know how and where to ask Baba Ali
So, i want to ask you directly from this comment. By the way, it's nice video ^_^
OK, I have a problem about woman - man relationship. I work in laboratories where many times there are only me and one male staff working and discussing together. how's ur opinion about this? I'm still confused whether I had just done the "khalwat" -which is haram, or not? And how am I suposed to do about my job in laboratories.
Jazakumullah khairan katsira

At August 05, 2008 6:52 AM, Blogger Unknown said...

Ali, I am confused. You mention men's sexual desire for women and women's desire for attention for reasons as why men and women like to hang out together. I find it hard to believe that you as a more secular youth find in your adult life better now with only friends from one sex. I respect your religion, but I also feel sorry for you in your judgment of the female's "otherness" and your limited views on women. Have you ever Foucault or Malevich? (I suggest Malevich, but neither of them are feminists or talk about women). Plus, how can you trust a religion's view on women that was written by a man that married a nine year old girl? I also notice that you don't mention women's desire for sex. Did you know that women also have the same desires as men? For the record, female sexuality works much differently than men's, and even strait women hang out with women because of the sexual tension. Does that mean Muslim women should stay alone in a room or does Islam approve of girls on girls?

this video sort of ties in with an older video that Baba Ali made a while back, in which he says that parents make it hard for their children to stay on the Right Path when it comes to the issue of marriage.
Insha'Allah you'll get lots of support to make your movie!!!
