Question

I am a Haafiz and shall be performing Taraaweeh in the Musjid this year, Insha-Allah. My Ustaadh has instructed me to omit the Durood and Dua after Tashahhud to make it lighter for the musallis. Is it necessary for me to obey this instruction?

Answer

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

“There is no obedience (to anyone in anything) involving sinning against Allah.”

We offer husbands a prescription which will ensure happiness in the home – a prescription which is designed to overcome incompatibility between spouses. It is the prescription of the Qur’aan­ the prescription of the Sunnah.

Both husband and wife are the makhlooq (creation) of Allah Ta’ala. In His infinite wisdom, Allah Ta’ala has assigned different rights, duties and obligations to the variety of specimens of His makhlooq. Allah Ta’ala has assigned the wife to the care of the husband. She is His makhlooq whom He has placed in the custody of the husband. Allah Ta’ala has awarded custody of the wife to the husband by way of Amaanat (Sacred Trust), not by way of mielkiyyat (ownership). As such, the wife in the custody of her husband and under his jurisdiction is a Sacred Trust. She is the sole property of Allah Ta’ala – and of no one else.
