It is a sad story and it is a reality. In case you missed it, she said "you denied me the delicacy of marriage". The man was obviously interested in duniya and wanted a wealthy man with lots of money and other worldly goods and therefore he kept rejecting good pious people that came for her hand. He maybe her father (parent) but he denied her what was her right, he was a bad wali, and he oppressed her this way. Biggest dream any girl have is to get married, have her own family and kids and what not. He denied her that blessing with his greed of the duniya. I don't see why you lots keep saying she should've made a dua against him or i would never or this or that. The fact of the matter is, you are not her nor are you in that situation to question her, and what you say not is pointless because you yourself have no idea what you will say or do IF you were in her place.
So rather then pretend we are all experts and slice and dice this story 100 different ways, why don't we be wise and learn a lesson from this. I believe that is why the imams in their khutbah told this story, for others to heed and learn a lesson. Don't oppress your daughters nor deny them their rights out of your own greed.
Allahu alim
lol...and you think im a fiece suadi lover...im notYou think I'm a fierce Saudi-hater, lol ! I am not.
inshallah...:sunny:InshaAllah this is now cleared.
i think were all forgetting the point of the story (including myself), which is, beware of the duaa of the oppressed. :sunny:sad story
n yeh i understand how the women feels. but no matter what she shouldnt have said a dua like this and i agree with (righteouslady) on what should the women say by dua
no probs.subhan Allah, I heard this story before
jazaki allah khair sis for sharing
Does anyone know wat the Imaam had to say regarding this? I mean this is a real big burden on the father too...maybe he felt he was doing the best thing possible for his daughter?
Any girl? Biggest? Nope.Biggest dream any girl have is to get married, have her own family and kids and what not.
But her own father. Taking care of her all her life... SubhanAllah we cannot get everything in this life, marriage was not her kismet, I don't understand what brought her to say such a dua...
We don't know the whole story of course, it could be that he never made her feel loved, neglected her feelings all her life.. Maybe though, he thought for her best and was sure to find a righteous man who is also rich, to give her the life she is used to? But if this is not the case, then I don't know..
Urgh, this story made me feel ill.
^ And you know, ain't that what I agreed on there, in my post? See, you should read my post a lil bit clearer, try to see the big picture on what is said.
I stand by my opinion that if nothing worse than being greedy from his side was done, the dua was not appropriate. But I also agree and believe there are things we don't know.
