[QUOTE]Originally posted by With a name like Smuckers: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ayisha: [qb] smucks, Now I live here I see MANY MANY Muslims, but very very little ISLAM. I didnt have to go overseas to find a husband, I had heaps of offers in my own country from men younger, older and my own age, they just weren't 'right'. I asked Allah for a particular type of man and found him in Egypt, he just happened to be younger which was not something I had asked for. You are right in that the tradition here determines what they take as Islam, most dont know there is a difference and carry on age old traditions that are nothing to do with Islam at all, like FGM. The example of the prophet in marrying all these different types of woman should be used exactly as an example that its ok to marry older, younger, non-virgins, widows etc. but then there are those who will pick out the hadith about marrying virgins being better, like sands did. This is totally opposite of what we know about him and his devotion to khadijah, he never married another woman while she was alive because he loved her even though she was 15 years older than him. As for using the orfi thing in connection to the prophet hibbah, tell me exactly HOW people in those times actually married. Did they go to the embassy? did they go to a civil court? No, they made a committment to each other in front of witnesses and that was it, married. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes but it was also a different time back then. I doubt people were orfi'ing back then to shack up in tents for the night. :p Many overseas are pushed to find good Muslim husbands overseas because the 'right' ones in their own countries are either too far between (i.e. the women live in rural areas) or the men are simply not marrying them either out of pressure from families to marry from the old country or out of fear that she isn't a born muslim. Not sure what that means, perhaps many think that born muslims are 'easier' (they know the history/traditions/practices easier). But I disagree, what they get in benefits from teaching and helping converts must be beyond this world~ [/QB][/QUOTE]
