whats going on?

Ok My husband seems to think this is some sort of conspiracy with the arrests of the bombers and that its not true blah blah and I think its true. So we really clash on this subject, and end up fighting. Why wont he listen? Or is he right?

Re: whats going on?

I admire your spirit. But whether your husband is right or wrong - don't discuss such issues, which bring unhappiness at home.

Not worth the peace & harmony at home. Keep your views to yourself.

Re: whats going on?

how would such issues bring unhappiness. I do not think that discussing such issues that are happening in the world bring unhappiness in homes. To the contrary, we should know what is happening around us.

Ps - ^^provided that a person does not follow something with closed eyes but rather ponders over it.

Re: whats going on?

Me sez never discuss politics or religion with wife you will end up on the floor (atleast I do).

Re: whats going on?

Thats probably becuz u didn’t give him food b4 discussing. Bechaare ko kitni dair intezaar karna para ho ga:cb:

But I think that it is always good to discuss things in your house. It always keeps you updated on what’s going on around the world (which every muslim should know) and if you are sincere and have taqwa, it will only increase your imaan (from what I’ve experienced). Islam is not just praying 5 times a day, having a tasbeeh in your hand 24/7, or spending most of your day in the masjid, and ignoring the stuff that is happening to the rest of the world.

Once when Muhammad (s.a.w) sent an army for Jihad. They (the army) came back defeated and as soon as they entered Madina, kids in Madina started throwing pebbles at them. Then Muhammad (s.a.w) stopped the kids and told them that verily they (army) have made efforts in Allah’s cause and that is what matters.

The above shows us 2 things. One that you HAVE to make an effort in Allah’s way regardless of whether you win or loose (which is in Allah’s hands). And the second is that even the kids at the time of Prophet (s.a.w) knew what was going on in the world. The kids were not spending most of the day playing PS2 like us (well…more like me).

:naraz: Me sez you are mistaken “I am him”. :smiley:

The reason I don not discuss religion with wife is she is into it and I am not. I don’t want to hurt her feelings.

Re: whats going on?

A husband and wife should be able to discuss anything, isn't that the whole point of marriage whether you agree or disagree.

As for the original question. No, I do not think its conspiracy. Evidence is needed before such high profile arrests could be made and brought to trial. It was the Pakistani government that initially alerted the British authorities to the possibility of a planned attack. I came across people such as your husband who believed the same of 7/7 (someone even said that the MI5 had bombed the transport links!!! and blamed it on muslims). If the families of those individuals have accepted that it was those young men who caused the catastrophe, then I really don;t think we can argue that there is a conspiracy.

So, all you can do is put ur arguement forward and agree to disagree on the subject.

Re: whats going on?

My parents were initially of the view that it's a conspiracy but as soon as it emerged that Pakistan (at first Brits/Americans tried taking all the credit, no mention of Pak in the media) uncovered the plot they conveniently changed sides from "Khud ko Musalman kehne waale itne pathar dil ho hi naheen sakte..." to dad saying "khabees, masoom logon ki jaanen lene ja rahe the" and ammi going "tauba, tauba.. Allaah kisi ke bachon ko dehshat-gardon ke haathon gumraah na honey de, un ki maon ki dilon pe kiya guzar rahi hogi".

Re: whats going on?

Me sez my fault. Me also sez that by discussing religion or anything else, you do not hurt ur wife’s feelings (provided that you back up everything from Quran & Sunnah). And if you look at it, aren’t you hurting her feelings by not being into religion when you are suppose to be:faizy:. And finally me sez that if you are not “into” religion and she is, good for her but you have to get into it. I mean, what will you teach ur kids if you do not know religion. When Allah says that he has made the husband head of the house, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you just provide ur family with food and shelter, it means everything from protecting them from Shaitan to making sure that Shariah is followed within your household and you & your family are on the straight path.

Allah says in Surah Tahreem (Surah 66), Ayat 6:
“O you who believe! Save yourselves and your family from Hellfire whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the commands they recieve from Allah, but do that which they are commanded.”
