Re: Bahishti Zewar
I have read it, although some things in it are iffy, there is some useful info in it all the same .
The person who suggested it , was trust worthy....at the same time I have been meaning to look into it more.
I think I will do that.
I wonder if there are various versions of it.
Re: Bahishti Zewar
I think the major problem with this book is that the author doesnt differentiate between what is from Quran, Hadiths, Weak hadiths, other stories and general knowledge.
Re: Bahishti Zewar
Assuming one knows a bit of the writer, sometimes its possible to understand where he/she is coming from.
However since the issue is about Islam, one should be careful when reading any books concerning it....theres not always a guarantee that the info is 100% correct.
mfs555 I think its great you're looking into it. Research means more learning.
Re: Bahishti Zewar
From BZ: “One of the rights of the husband is that the wife should not keep any optional fasts nor offer any optional salât in his presence without his permission. Among the rights of the husband is that she should not remain in an untidy, dishevelled state. Instead, she should always remain clean and beautiful for her husband. In fact, if she remains untidy and dishevelled despite her husband ordering her to remain clean, he has the right of beating her (lightly) in order that she may obey him.** Another right of the husband is that she should not leave the house without his permission irrespective of whether it be the house of a friend, relative or anyone else.**”
Weak hadith:
**“**Any women who leaves her house without her husband’s permission will be in Allah’s displeasure until she returns to the house or her husband becomes happy with her.” Fabricated No.1020

FROM BZ:
6. Rasûlullâh sallallâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: "When a woman troubles or displeases her husband in this world, the hûr of jannah that has been set aside for him says: “May Allah curse you! Do not trouble him. He is your guest for a few days. Soon he will leave you and come to me.”

Re: Bahishti Zewar
i found some of the information quite beneficial ... though one should have a firm understanding of Islam so he/she know what is being said and where the author is comming from.
Re: Bahishti Zewar
I still think thre are better books out there to read such as the Quran itself with translations, tafseers, there are so many views one can read about.
Re: Bahishti Zewar
I have read part of it and there are ngs that i totally disagree with. Again they are my personal beliefs.
I sometiems wonder if that book was mainly written for female. There are stuff that are for men but mainly for women.
i have a hard time believeing that Islam can be so cruel to woman?
all of these references were placed by another man just like bahiste zeywar.. i am waiting for a woman to interept it and release her view.
As far as iknow i was made to be a companion to my man. Why do i get treated like a slave on this earth?
As far as horein is concered- my husband better ask for my duplicate otherwise he will have some seirous problems in this life.
Re: Bahishti Zewar
What's the use of referring to a book that contains both weak, fabricated, and some saheeh narrations?
I'm sure there are plenty of other books available that are far more authentic and free from unauthentic narrations.
Re: Bahishti Zewar

Yes there are, infact there are versions of Behisti Zewar from people who were staunch opponents of Moualna Ashraf Ali Thanvi Rh.
Not all english translations are authentic, i think the best one is from some south African Aalim.
Any one reading this book should keep in mind that it was written way back in 1920s ?..

Please refer some other comprehensive good book for women.
Re: Bahishti Zewar
bao bihari, I've seen some good books by Dar-us-Salam; however, I don't remember the exact names. In addition, I'd rather go through Tafsir ibn Kathir than through a book that has both authentic and unauthentic narrations. Furthermore, with the facility of Internet, pretty much anything can be learned and downloaded via authentic sites.
Also, you've mentioned that one should keep in mind that it was written in the early 1900s. If I have understood you correctly, you could probably be suggesting that some (or more) of it could very well be out-dated.
Anyway, I don't wish to get into any sort of argument. Those who wish to read and refer to it can do it by all means, while those who wish to use other sources can refer to other books and material.
Re: Bahishti Zewar
The Quran and the authentic Hadiths.
Re: Bahishti Zewar
Hmm…any of the female scholars on here read this book:
Re: Bahishti Zewar
I dont know when we will stop educating women to become rightous wives, daughters, and mothers and start teaching them to be rightous people first.
Why aren't men required to read the book for the rightous husband?
I am not saying the author is wrong but its just that we(females) need to become better person, not wives.
