I attended a marriage course last year, as it is a must for me to be able to get married. So they had an ustadh who was supposed to guide us muslimah, on how to become a good wife. The result? I hated every sessions, and most of the time, disagreed with the ustadh. He was talking about the necessity of wearing perfume outside of the house. His reasoning? “We do not want to smell badly around others right?”
“Allah likes pretty things right?” I refuted his reasonings by quoting the hadeeth of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wassalam, and he replied back, “It all depends on our niyyah. we do not have to follow everything the nabi did” (I wouldn’t touch on adhering the sunnah, as I have talked about it on previous post).
It was narrated from Abu Moosa (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If a woman puts on perfume and passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance, then she is such and such,” and he spoke sternly – meaning an adulteress. Narrated by Abu Dawood (4173) and al-Tirmidhi (2786); classed as saheeh by Ibn Daqeeq al-Eid in al-Iqtiraah (126) and by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Any woman who puts on perfume and passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance is a zaaniyah.”
Narrated by Imam Ahmad (19212) and al-Nasaa’i (5126); classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami‘.
Our problem lies in who do we want to please. All the stories above shows the power of the creation on our eeman. We often overlook the determination the shayateen has to misguide us. If we look around us, we tend to overlook some things, not realising the harm it has on our eeman. For example, iktilaath on the internet. Women and men mingle freely, in the name of learning the deen. Another excuse to overlook the rules and guidelines in the deen to satisfy our nafs, and please human.
Check this out, ask a sister, how many non-mahram she has on her facebook, instruct her to remove them. You know the shayateen has gotten the sister when she give excuse like “oh, but he was my classmate”. That is no excuse. Now you will realise the talbis iblis. Now you will realise the determination of the shayateen.
Am I saying that we can’t please the creation? La. Of course we can. We need to treat people nicely.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, in the hadeeth qudsi, was that Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, said: “O My slaves, I have forbidden zulm (injustice, wrongdoing, unfairness) to Myself and I have made it haraam among you, so do not wrong one another.”
(Muslim #2577)
But when it is against the deen, of course we need to please The Creator first. It is time for us to set our priorities right. So, are you with me ya akhwat? Why the need to bend the rules in order to please the creation who has no power over us? Have we forgotten the reason why we are created ? (HINT – 51:56). What has been set as haraam will remain haraam, and what has been set us halaal will remain so. No human, Allah’s servants, can alter this!
And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, “This is lawful and this is unlawful,” to invent falsehood about Allah . Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed. (16:116)
O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful to you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors. (5:87)
Wallahu’alam. Allah knows best.
May Allah guide us to the straight path, the path of the Salaf-us-Saalih, the path of those sahabah (RA), who were promised Jannah.May Allah protect us from misguidance, from the shayateen, from the hellfire. May Allah keep us steadfast in pleasing Allah, attaining Allah’s pleasure. Allahumma Ameen.

Pesananku : Apa yang ditegah Allah dan nabi, itulah yang terbaik. Jangan memberi andaian yang menghalalkan niat sedangkan syarak adalah tidak mengizinkan..
