Hyderabad, July 28: Islam is the perfect religion which is based on nature. This religion has elevated humanity. It not only prescribed the duties of men but it also described the duties of women. Before the advent of Islam there was no sanctity for women. Girls used to be buried alive. A man used to keep as many wives on as he could. After the death of father, the son used to marry his step- mother. Islam prescribed rules which are applauded by everyone in the world.
It protected the sanctity of women. It prescribed veil (Purda) which protects a woman’s respect. These thoughts were expressed by Mufti Mohammed Naseem Habeebi who has come from Durban, South Africa.
He was addressing a meeting convened by Rahmath-e-Aalam Committee. He said that the modern youth of today are following western civilization and they are going astray from the teachings of Islam. In the name of Women’s liberation, prostitution and homosexuality are being promoted. Poor woman, these days has lost everything. The institution of family has lost its concept. Children cant identity their father.
Youth could be taught spiritual values by giving them training in observing Islamic rituals like Salaat, Zikar, Recitation of the Quran and Hadith.
Equipped with the teachings of Islam, they can fight their sensuous passions. He said that the troupes of pious men and women should be posted near parks and cinema houses to prevent our young boys and girls from indulging in unislamic activities. For this purpose, the services of retired persons may be utilized.
