Love and Respect is the greatest emtions and money fade in front of such timeless emotions.Thier timelessness transcends all materials boundaries,luxuries,CEO,cars,bunglows.


I dont say , money dosent matter, but reasonable earning with which you can live happily but with mutual love , respect , pain and care for each other is much much better than pounds and dollars or millions minarates but without respect and love.


Respect which couple give each other is beyond materialism and this spirtual feeling of respect other ,being respected, love your partner and being loved are the priceless emotions which give peace and tranquility and make Jannat living in this world full of misries and where in this age of absurdity , we are in the midst of nowhere, love and respect b/w spouse are those things upon which everything can be sacrificed

Regards

Re: # 80 Hamidm
What can i say? Wonderful piece of advice but catered to the wrong person:)
I am and always have been an old fashioned good girl. Care about money but not THAT much. Want a companion but not at THIS cost! I am probably cut out to be a CEO of a company and yet be a good wife, mother and grandmother(eventually inshallah) If i had to pick one thing out of an entire buffet of "eligible men" i'd probably go for the commonplace family man who has vision and insight to be someone important but is not too big for his shoes. Someone who will appreciate being loved and cared for and will not be suffocated in an honest relationship. Too 60's for your taste na? I know but as i said, i am an old fashioned good girl.
regards,

Re: # 78 Tehsin
thank you for the compliment Tehsin.
I liked the posted article. it is a good read. I agree partly with what you say, but will respectfully disagree on the point of inequality. men and women are not equal because they are different, not because one is superior and the other inferior. This intimate relationship can only survive when love and respect is given from both sides in generous propotions and obligations are fulfilled before rights are claimed. How many men or women do that? Very few in my experience. And most of all you need to forgive each other for being mutually flawed. I hope i can remember this when i tie the knot and the honeymoon era passes into more mundane routine. I pray that may my husband be more gentle, wise and patient than myself when i get restless and irrational.
Regards,
A

Re: # 75
What can i say:) Its hilarious and this means that the "anticipated invitations" shall be withheld until further notice. Thank you for the prayers though. Aap se na jootey pilwain gay aur na doodh chpain gay... bas aap dua karein allah sab theek karey:)

Re: # 88 Tehsin sahib

O.k..yap.. i probably missed the tone of your post.yes i do admit that i didn't read your complete post and presumed on the basis of ur track record that u were being sarcastic there.

Anyways..it was my fault and i do apologize for that.I know that even an agnostic can find some parts of a religion to be convincing on a certain issue.

Sorry for that little misunderstanding again.

I'm outta here.

Regards.

Philosopher Sahib, You have gone completely mad.

Please read my post again. This is one time that I was affirming entirely, without exception the wisdom emanating from the Quran. Let me reiterate again for your benefit and pay attention to what I wrote in my last para “A woman’s sphere is the household, but more importantly she has to make her husband her universe�

So the hadith and the Quranic ayahs I find them to be right on.

The rest of your rant is entirely a result of previous wounds that you seem to be harboring.

Re: # 78

TehsinA,

You have it all wrong and twisted around your neck.

Use your own head for thinking purposes, and not your local mullah's. May I say PLEASE?

---------------------------

The questionable faith and belief established about the sayings and narratives:

i) They are equivalent to the Quran.

ii) This is the Revelation form Allah similar to the one Angel Gabriel brought down as Quranic Ayaat.

iii) Its obedience is Rasool-Allah's obedience.

iv) It is Deen.

v) It supersedes and cancels any order of the Quran that is contrary to it.

---------------------------

Astaghfirullah.....

Abee,

I must warn you about a certain creation of God that liberally swings from trees of stupidity and makes funny sounds on Chowq.

You have the option of complaining directly to Chowq Stuffed.

Re: # 84
Ajeya,

Go back to your cave once you've swung fromn your favourite tree a few dozen times.

Re: #80
Ham-damn-thank-you-ma'am,

When will you return to infancy and start giving the same advice to your family which you've so liberally dished out to Abee?

#79 Posted by hamidm2

Why do I always bring out the Darth Vader in you? I think my pronouncements are so entirely ‘goody two shoes’ that you just gag up on them. You just can’t take it, and instead of bringing out the best in all of us and what could be, remind every one of the ugliness of how things really are. Just to irk you a bit more – this is the eternal struggle between Plato’s how things should be and Machiavelli’s how they actually are. You should during your Sanyasi years embrace the good and give up on your Machiavellian approach.

I will pray for you!!!

Re: # 78 teshisn

((( prostration were a legitimate act other than to God, woman should have prostrated to her husband. (TR. P 428) )))

This is a Hadith not the verse of the Quran.If u believe this corrupted hadith literature to be authentic u have to accpet all the miracles attributed to the Prophet(pbuh) mentioned in these books.

Pseudo intellectuals like when are dumped on the intellectual grounds come up with this kinda rhetorical rebuttels like "lack" of women's rights kinda randi rona.

So, yes husband is the head of the household.so...does it prove there is no God? Is it enough reason to consider religion invalid???as for as other grounds for religion being invalid or valid is concerned, i know how great an Intellectual u r.Few days back when i started that debate it went over ur dumb brain by about a mile and u had to run with ur kass.

Nonsense...these things prove nothing.In ISlam both men and women have complete human dignity but they r given rights according their purposes. every doctrine under the sun deal these issues in view of its goal of life.

#79 Hamid "... powerful men are egomaniacs who can get all the women they want and they do ..."

But we the ordinary loyal family men raise nice ethical and successful kids. So there are some rewards.

on the other hand, Hugh Hefner was able to keep excellent relationship with his daughter (the playboy CEO) and gets other fresh rewards on daily basis.
