"My nose has not been cut off"

Sheikhul Hadeeth رحمة الله عليه describes the reaction of his community to the simple, hassle-free nikah of his two daughters.
The nikah was performed but thereafter I had to bear the brunt of all the attacks. People did not know the boys and an announcement had been made that it was my daughters getting married. The two bridegrooms were both handsome young men, still without beards with the Madani turbans around their heads, which I myself had put on for them, while going to the mosque. Here are some of the taunts I received:
a. "What kind of people are those Molvies. They see two handsome young boys and give their daighters away to them."
b. "Two young men from among the rich ones of Bombay arrived at the jalsa. Seeing two rich ones, they gave their daughters away."
c. "They must have known them from before because they would not just see two boys walking along and then give their daughters away to them. These Molvies are no good."
d. One of the pious wealthy men from our mohalla went home and very happily told his wife about the marriage of my daughters. The wife became quite angry (may Allah pardon them both). She said, "The poor mice are jumping all over their house because they cannot find anything to eat. Everyday they send people to our door to beg and borrow. If they did not marry them off, then what else would they have done? You tell me: Allah had given you great riches and lots of wealth. Allah forbid that I have to let my daughters get married like paupers."
Thereafter because this nikah was against the custom of our people and because in the history of Kandhla it had never been performed like this ever, there was a lot of talk this way and that. One person's reaction reached me as having said, "Zakariya has cut his own nose and thereby he has brought dishonour to all of us. Is this the way to have a nikah performed?"
I replied, "I have not been dishonoured. My nose has not been cut off."
I told the messenger, "Even you can feel with your hand that my nose is still in place, so you may go and tell them what you have seen. No, my nose has not been cut off and no one else has been dishonoured." Taken from aap beeti.

Ignorance knows no bounds.

I detest the whole 'what will people think' mentality. InshaAllah, I'd love to go against the grain as much as possible in every manner and let people say whatever they wish.

Assalaamu Alaikum Tameem Bhai,

But you can answer the names of the bridegrooms?

I think this doesn't need any permission (just joking)

The bridegrooms are Hadrat Ji Thani and Hadrat Ji Thalith, Mawlana Yusuf and Mawlana In'am al-Hasan Kandhalwi (may Allah have mercy on them).

Brother Abu_Tamim, a polite request that you try and write in English on the forum all the time. There are many brothers and sisters here who don't understand Urdu and it feels as through they are being disregarded. I know alot of these comments in Urdu are just banter, (which should be kept to a minimum on the main forums anyway) but it is polite if we all converse in a language that everyone understands, especially our new Muslim brothers and sisters.

The small part that just came before this story was also quite interesting to read. Telling how he was debating Mawlana Husain Ahmad Madani because he would perform a nikaah higher than the mahr of Fatima, and how he got up on the minbar preaching about the fada'il of a simple marriage and also starting to refute the British.

Assalamu alaykum

I think that naak "nose" is creating lot of problem for the ummah. Families are getting pauper (bankrupt) because of this nose. May be we should pray to Allah swt to remove the naak from the face.

Na rahe baans na baje baansuri.

=Why do you shout?

Na rahe baans na baje baansuri.

No reed, no flute.

One of the conclusions is that the level to which these people have taken their following of Islam has happened in our own life times-so to say. In a way this is happening in front of our eyes. This sinner belongs to nearly the same locality and to implement Islam in this way is nor short of a miracle.
