Look at this picture carefully, especially those who advocate for a girl's higher education and career before marriage. Although they recite the Kalma of the Prophet (peace be upon him), they have faith in feminism. And they suffer the punishment in this world. The name of this girl is Bibi Shazia Saraj, and the arm in the picture belongs to her husband, whose name is Bhanochander Reddy. Both are from Siddipet, which is considered a center of religion, ethics, and civilization, just 100 kilometers from Hyderabad and 60 kilometers from Karimnagar. Both are IT technicians who worked in Bangalore, and both committed suicide together. Reddy hanged himself, and after seeing this, the girl jumped from the 17th floor. This news was published by Politics, NDTV, and TOI on March 31, 2026. The police are investigating, but what we need to investigate is why such news is coming every day, in which girls who recite the Kalma are bearing the offspring of non-Muslims, declaring the nation's shamelessness. We are indeed shameless; we are not ashamed after hearing such news, but rather, someone reads Istighfar, commenting on the parents' wrong upbringing, or the weakness of faith and the lack of religious education, and then clears their conscience.
If you want to save your daughters' modesty, dignity, and honor, you have two ways:
1. The complete feminism path given by the British Girls are not restricted from getting married, education, or careers. They can get as much education as they want, build their careers, live with whoever they want, divorce them whenever they want, have abortions, or give birth to children. Parents have no responsibility for their children after they turn 18. Parents do not have to worry about dowry or expenses for their daughters' weddings or divorces. You can call this a corrupt, sinful, and misguided society, but education and career are glorious there. That's why people criticize the Western lifestyle but want to send their sons and daughters to America, Canada, or England for a bright future. Many Muslims in America, Canada, and other countries are worried about the moral destruction of their sons and daughters.
2. The path of Islam Islam does not restrict girls from getting an education or building a career, but it has a condition: "marriage after reaching puberty." So that girls' modesty and dignity are protected first, and then they can get as much education as they want and work. If the husband cannot afford to educate her, the girl's parents should bear the expenses. It's not the end of the world if children are born two to four years after marriage. The tradition of having children immediately after marriage is the reason girls are running away, and they prefer careers over marriage.
But our simple-minded majority wants to keep one foot on each boat and cross the river. They want to put girls on the British path first and then pull them back to the Islamic path. This is sheer hypocrisy. There are two completely different cultures; you cannot benefit from both at the same time. You are harming not only your daughters but the entire Ummah. Allama Iqbal probably said this:
Your civilization will commit suicide with its own dagger. A nest built on a delicate branch will be fragile.
We see many dramas about following the Sunnah, and there are many Sunnahs that people obsess over. But surprisingly, these people do not want to follow the Prophet's (peace be upon him) command to get married as soon as possible after finding a suitable match. This third path of hypocrisy is the reason Muslim girls are eloping with non-Muslims. This series will not stop because:
Firstly, by the time a girl completes her education and starts her career, she will be around 30 years old. If you visit any marriage bureau, you will see that educated girls have crossed the age of 30. When it's time for them to get married, the boys are also around the same age, but when they start looking for girls, they want a 20-22 year old bride. Where will these 30-year-old girls go?
Secondly, most girls today are more educated and career-oriented than boys, with higher salaries. Where will they find a match? Muslims find it difficult, and these girls will not find someone like Reddy; what will they do?
Thirdly, if a girl finds a match according to her qualifications, the cost, including dowry, will be high, which the girl's family cannot afford. Girls will be forced to find a way to not be a burden on their parents. Anti-Islamic fascist organizations are waiting to take advantage of such girls.
Fourthly, if a boy is found, his salary will be lower than the girl's, and he might be living in a rented house. Will the girl and her mother accept a boy who is inferior to the girl in terms of salary and social status? Girls reject good boys and get rejected themselves because of their lifestyle.
Lastly, when girls get married at 20-22 years old, both partners are young and inexperienced. They fight, apologize, and make up, which increases their love. But when they get married at 30-32 years old, their egos are high, and they are no longer in their youthful prime. The boy does not apologize but rather uses his hands or tongue. The girl does not apologize but instead packs her bags and goes back to her parents. Visit any police station, lawyer's office, or judge's court, and you will see that most divorce, separation, and divorce cases involve Muslims.
Solution: There is only safety in the Islamic path. Marry girls immediately after they complete their intermediate education. Make an agreement with the boy's family that the girl will continue her education, and if necessary, the girl's family will bear the expenses. The decision to have children will be made by the husband and wife in their private room, not by the family elders. The marriage will be complete according to the Sunnah, without any innovations like engagement, dowry, or extravagant wedding expenses. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that such a marriage is easy and blessed. If you spend a lot on the wedding, it will be the opposite, i.e., the worst and most unfortunate marriage.
It is essential to have pre-marriage counseling before the wedding, which can prevent more than 50% of the fights that occur after marriage. We can also help with marriage counseling.
