Re: Mother in Islam

Re: Mother in Islam
Mis understanding…
Children on the day of resurection will be called by the mothers name. Due to Allah protecting the women of her affairs and concealing it in front of everyone on that day.
Will try to find u the reference inshallah.
Re: Mother in Islam
You are correct Ur Angel.Me too read this in a book… Just to give “Pardah” to women infornt of everyone Allah SWT will call people with his/her mother’s name.
Re: Mother in Islam
Imam Bukhari (RA) has included the following subtitle in his Sahih, ‘Chapter on the fact that the people will be called by their father’s name’. Under this chapter, he has recorded the narration of Sayyiduna ibn Umar, Radi-Allahu anhu, that Rasulullah (PBUH) said, 'Verily, a banner will be raised for the treacherous person on the day of Qiyamat and it will be proclaimed, ‘This is the treachery of so and so, the son of so and so.’ (Sahih Bukhari Hadith6177) (Note that the masculine tense was used for the parent of this ‘so and so’.)

I didn’t know this was addressed in the Holy Qur’an. Mughal bhai, could you please post the verses?
Re: Mother in Islam
i also read this somewhere, either in bahishti zewar or “A gift for women”.
Re: Mother in Islam
Here are the verses that I came across in the Quran that talk about calling the children by their real fathers' names:
[quote]
[033:004] Allâh has not made for any man two hearts inside his body. Neither has He made your wives whom you declare to be like your mothers' backs, your real mothers [Az-Zihâr is the saying of a husband to his wife, "You are to me like the back of my mother," i.e., you are unlawful for me to approach] nor has He made your adopted sons your real sons. That is but your saying with your mouths. But Allâh says the truth, and He guides to the (Right) Way.
[033:005] Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allâh. But if you know not their father's (names, call them) your brothers in Faith and Mawâlîkum (your freed slaves). And there is no sin on you concerning that in which you made a mistake, except in regard to what your hearts deliberately intend. And Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Re: Mother in Islam
But those ayahs are in reference to adopted orphans.
Doesn't mean everyone has to be legally referred to by their father's last name. It just means, that make sure you tell your adopted kid that they're not your biological child.

Sadiya Jee
How does this relate to the subject under discussion? Debate was on the afterlife, not worldly affairs. PCG has rightly pointed out this relates to orphans and their foster parents.
Re: Mother in Islam
^ where does it mention that they shall be called by their fathers' names only in this worly life and not in the hereafter????
Re: Mother in Islam
^ The verses in question aren’t discussing the hereafter!
Anyway, i don’t even know why are we even discussing such a trivial issue here?
Re: Mother in Islam
Good answer and reasonable!
Re: Mother in Islam
Isn't it a cultural thing that 'the father isn't known' if called by the mother's name. Because in most socieites it doesn't mean that and it has nothing to do with religion, just culture.
Re: Mother in Islam
Oh and not to just tell your adopted kid that they're actually adopted, but that you can't call them by your last name.
So, like if I adopted a baby boy (boy cuz I can turn him into a good guy, rather than a pig, which is his default mode, of COURSE), then I can't call him baby boy pcg's last name. I have to call him by his real last name, if its known of course. Kinda hard to do with disaster victim babies...well whatever.
I still don't see sufficient evidence that says EVERYONE must take their father's last name. Plenty of people take their husband's last name - so are they doing something unIslamic? And with today's record keeping system, comon, we all know who is who's child. Just do a DNA test.
Re: Mother in Islam
I remember reading it somewhere that back when women weren't considered humans or given the right to vote, they were considered a property of their husband after marriage. Therefore, they would take their husband's name as their last name. I don't have any references on hand at the moment. However, I distinctly remember reading it somewhere.
