SUPREME COURT'S VERDICT ON TRIPLE TALAQ: A MATTER OF CONCERN FOR MUSLIMS
Supreme Court of India has announced a historic verdict by putting ban on triple Talaq, a prevalent custom among Indian Muslims and solved the problems of Muslim women and taught Indian Muslims a great lesson.
It is a great favour of Allah upon Muslims of India that we live in a country where we are free to practice our religion and under the constitution of India, we have the right to solve our religious matters according to our religious law & jurisprudence. Despite all these provisions, Muslims in India altogether could not solve an issue regarding women, neither did Muslim scholars come up with a solution to the problem until the Supreme Court interfered in the matter.
Those Muslims are solely responsible for this situation, who did not consider their religious teachings in which they were ordained to refer any matter of dispute to Allah and His messenger (Sura Al-Nisa 60). Nor did they benefit from the freedom they have in the personal law of the constitution of India.
Islam has given equal rights to women, as the Holy Quran clearly says, "And they (the women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in equity." (Al-Baqara 229)
Allah the Almighty has sent Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (as) as a solution to these internal disputes between Muslims. He presented the true Islamic teachings to the world. The Ahmadiyya Muslim community acts upon these teachings. It has always been against the innovative custom of divorcing wives by pronouncing three Talaqs in one session. Talaq is the most displeasing act among the lawful things in the sight of Allah. But these so-called Muslims have made it even more abhorrent.
Islam has setup three stages for Talaq. In each stage, men & women are given chance for reconciliation and to live together. But alas! These so-called Muslims have totally forgotten these beautiful teachings and have innovated many social evils into Islam. May Allah enable them to understand the true teachings of Islam and abide by those, Ameen.
