Hazrat Mufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi (rahimahullah) mentioned:<\/p>\n
I was once addressing a group of women at a certain venue. The man of the house approached me and said: \u201cMy wife wishes to pose a question to you on condition that I must not be present.\u201d I declared: \u201cYou have the option of staying or leaving, but a few other males will remain with me.\u201d He agreed to this request and his wife, speaking from behind a curtain, began her questioning.<\/p>\n
She commenced by pointing out that she had forwarded this question to various other \u2018Ulama, but received no satisfactory answer. \u201cI believe,\u201d she started, \u201cthat whatever is contained in the Quraan is correct, but it is my opinion that it was not directly revealed from Allah Ta\u2018ala, but compiled by Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and thereafter he, Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), declared that it was from Allah Ta\u2018ala merely to pacify the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Where did this drivel emanate? These types of thoughts and lopsided reasoning are the fruits of English secular education. The teachers in the secular schools are devoid of any understanding of deen and, combined with the secular school curriculum, the child is influenced to reason along these lines that the Quraan is not the divine word of Allah Ta\u2018ala, etc. Now, what is to be expected of the state of one\u2019s imaan? One of the fundamental beliefs of Islam is to unequivocally believe that the Quraan was revealed by Allah Ta\u2018ala and is the source of guidance for all.<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me,\u201d I asked. \u201cHave you read the seerat (biography) of Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)?\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d she instinctively replied. \u201cI have read it in Urdu and English.\u201d \u201cThen tell me,\u201d I pointed out. \u201cDid you come across in the seerat that two distinguishing qualities of Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) were his honesty and truthfulness?\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI have come across this many a times.\u201d \u201cThen your question has been answered!\u201d \u201cHow? I do not understand,\u201d she said, puzzled. I then explained: \u201cTo claim that something was revealed by Allah Ta\u2018ala, but in reality was not, is dishonesty and an honest person will not make such a claim. An honest person will never hide that which was revealed to him no matter how beneficial or detrimental it may prove to be to the general people. If an honest son quotes his father, he will not attribute anything to his father that he thinks will benefit the listener without pointing out that he has added this statement from his own side. Similarly, to suggest that Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) had declared that the Quraan was revealed by Allah Ta\u2018ala, merely to pacify the people, is ludicrous because such an audacious claim will eventually be exposed. Your reasoning belittles the intellect of Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) because it concludes that Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) did not consider the possibility that people will eventually realise that the Quraan was indeed not revealed by Allah Ta\u2018ala and the years of toiling and striving he had undertaken, to spread the message, will be rendered useless. Na\u2018oozubillah! Not considering the final outcome of one\u2019s actions depicts one\u2019s level of intelligence, and intelligent people generally think about the end result of their words and actions.\u201d \u201cNow I understand,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
This woman had acquired English secular education! The point that I wish to draw your attention to is that if we are going to dispatch our daughters to secular schools, they will be indoctrinated with negative sentiments and ideologies about Islam. They will deny the revelation of the Quraan, the prophethood of Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and the existence of the malaa\u2019ikah. They will opine that salaah, sajdah, ruku\u2019 and other \u2018ibaadaat are dogmatic actions and they will not observe purdah, but dress immodestly, shamefully exposing their bodies. What will be the outcome of this? Utter ruination in this world and the Hereafter!
