A close inspection of such challenging issues reveals that they fall into distinct categories.<\/p>\n<p>The appropriate category that an issue falls into needs to be identified first. Afterwards, the relevant response can be appropriately constructed. In essence, the possible cases are the following: cases where the Muslim practice or conception is the problem, cases where there is actual flexibility within the Shari`ah, cases where the Islamic conception has been painted as if fact to be barbaric or outdated. Examples of each of these categories are given below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cases where the Muslim Practice or Conception is the Problem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One category\u2014which is perhaps the easiest category to analyze but a most difficult category to remedy\u2014is where a Muslim practice or conception is improper from a Shari`ah point of view and also a source of confusion or challenge from a<em> da`wah<\/em> perspective.<\/p>\n<p>An analysis of the Qur\u2019an and Sunnah would demonstrate that the practice is unacceptable or forbidden in Islam. However, many Muslims may practice it, consider it part of their faith and even defend it from the point of view of the faith.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Example of Honor Killings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Honor killing is defined in Wikipedia as, An honor killing is the homicide of a member of a family by other members, due to the perpetrators\u2019 belief that the victim has brought shame or dishonor upon the family, or has violated the principles of a community or a religion, usually for reasons such as refusing to enter an arranged marriage, being in a relationship that is disapproved by their family, having sex outside marriage, becoming the victim of rape, dressing in ways which are deemed inappropriate, or engaging in homosexual relations.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous evidences can be presented to demonstrate how it is not permissible for such individuals to take the law into their own hands and kill someone due to \u201cviolating honor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abu Hurairah narrated:<\/p>\n<p>Sa`d ibn `Ubadah said to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), \u201cWhat do you think if I find with my wife a man, should I give him some time untilI bring four witnesses?\u201d He said, \u201cYes.\u201d (Ahmad and Abu Dawud))<\/p>\n<p>In the narration from Abu Hurairah, it states, Sa`d ibn `Ubada al-Ansari said, \u201cMessenger of Allah, tell me if a man finds his wife with another person, should he kill him?\u201d Allah\u2019s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, \u201cNo.\u201d Sa`d said, \u201cWhy not? I swear by Him Who has honored you with the Truth.\u201d There upon Allah\u2019s Messenger \u00a0said, \u201cListen to what your chief says.\u201d In another narration in al-Bukhari where Sa`d swears that he would kill the man, the Prophet commented, \u201cDo you wonder at Sa`d\u2019s sense of self-respect? Verily, I have more sense of self-respect than Sa`d, and Allah has more sense of self-respect than I.\u201d (Muslim)<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dawahskills.com\/misconceptions\/quranic-evidence-hadith-valid-part-islam\/\"><em>hadith<\/em><\/a>, Ibn Battal stated that this hadith proves that a man is to be put to death if he kills a man for being with his wife. This is so because Allah, even though He has more self-respect than Sa`d, has obligated that there be witnesses in the case of hudood (legal punishments). No one, he says, can transgress the limits of Allah and simply kill someone based on a claim.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, other hadith describe that the husband has recourse to lian if he finds his wife with another man.<\/p>\n<p>Lian is described in the following verses of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dawahskills.com\/misconceptions\/know-quran-word-of-god\/\">the Qur\u2019an<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px;\"><strong>Those who accuse their wives )of adultery) and have no witnesses except themselves \u2013 then the witness of one of them (shall be] four testimonies (swearing) by Allah that indeed, he is of the truthful. And the fifth (oath will be) that the curse of Allah be upon him if he should be among the liars. But it will prevent punishment from her if she gives four testimonies (swearing) by Allah that indeed, he is of the liars. And the fifth (oath will be) that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he was of the truthfu<\/strong>l. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.learning-quran.com\/quran-translations\/spanish-translation\/recitation-of-surat-an-nur\/\">An-Nur<\/a> 24:6-9)<\/p>\n<p>Al-Bukhari and others record, as part of a lengthy <em>hadith<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p>`Uwaimir came (to the Prophet) and said, \u201cO Allah\u2019s Messenger! A man has found another man with his wife! Should he kill him whereupon you would kill him (in retaliation) or what should he do?\u201d Allah\u2019s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, \u201cAllah has revealed regarding you and your wife\u2019s case in the Qur\u2019an.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So Allah\u2019s Messenger (peace be upon him) ordered them to perform the measures of lian according to what Allah had mentioned in His Book.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, even though the texts related to this issue seem to be explicitly clear and beyond any question, one has to recognize that there are Muslim organizations and individuals that have come to the defense of the practice of \u201chonor killings.\u201d This has been perhaps most notable in Jordan, where honor killings have been legally accepted, in one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>Muhammad Fadil has written, Article 340 of the Jordan Penal Code, reads in part, \u201cAnyone catching his wife or one of his immediate family in a flagrant act of fornication with another person, and kills, injures or harms both or either of them, will benefit from the exculpating excuse\u2026\u201d In response to recent moves by King Abdullah II of Jordan to eliminate this part of the code, one \u201cIslamic\u201d group responded, \u201cthose who are voicing their concern for the lives of a group of women, they ought to show concern for their lives as chaste women with their honor protected, otherwise, what is life worth for a woman who profaned her honor and stained the reputation of everyone related to her? Who would repair the moral damage that she has inflicted upon her family? Her killing would probably be a salvation for her from the misery of living with her sin.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Un-Islamic<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The following quote also demonstrates how much this act has permeated this Muslim society:<\/p>\n<p>The government\u2019s proposals to abolish or amend Article 340 met with fierce resistance from the public and its leaders alike. Clearly, honor murders enjoy the approval of the majority of Jordanian society. A Jordan Times survey revealed that 62 percent of Jordanians oppose the amendment of Article 340, mostly out of fear of \u201cmoral corruption in society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps what makes the stance of those Muslim groups even more bizarre is that the law allowing such honor crimes is actually the result of a blind acceptance of a Napoleonic law that was adopted by the Ottomans, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan and now it is being defended as part of Muslim culture.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps one word best describes the behavior of a Muslim who would kill another Muslim in the name of \u201chonor\u201d: Extremist. That Muslim has gone beyond the limits that the Prophet (peace be upon him) clearly set in the above quoted <em>hadith<\/em>. That is the essence of extremism. In addition, it is a form of turning away from what the Prophet brought\u2014probably much worse than the one who intended not to marry as a means to worship Allah\u2014while the Prophet has said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me.\u201d (Al-Bukhari)<\/p>\n<p>In sum, it has to be recognized that this practice is not part of Islam at all. Indeed, it is obligatory upon Muslims, especially the scholars, to eradicate this practice which is clearly a violation of Islamic Law.<\/p>\n<p>_________________________<\/p>\n<p><em>The article is an excerpt from the Paper \u201cRevisiting and Reviving the Dawah Narrative (Renewing the Da\u2019wah Narrative in a Way that Safeguards the Fundamentals and Suits our Times and Places)\u201d by Jamaal Al-Din M.
