FROM THE EDITOR

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Bismillahir Rahmaa Nir Raheem. I begin in the name of Allah (SWT), the
most beneficent, the most merciful. It is with great honor and pleasure that
I present to you the Director’s Report in our 2 nd edition of Al Hilaal
magazine. This year has been yet another achievement and by Allah
(SWT)’s blessings, we continue to grow each time.
“The Best Gift from a Father to his Child is Education & Upbringing”
[At Tirmidhi]
Jamia Taleemul Quran Lil Banaat is a voluntary - charity based institution
that aims to ensure that our students are taught the essentials of life. Apart
from imparting Islamic knowledge and a better guidance of the Quran, we
also deliver sewing & embroidery classes together with cooking classes.
Urdu is also taught at our prestigious institution.
A wise man once quoted “Educate a man and you educate a person.
Educate a woman and you educate an entire generation”. Islam has Masha
Allah bestowed such critical responsibilities on a woman and we, at Jamia
Taleemul Quran Lil Banaat strongly believe that the very first step to carry
out these roles is by way of enhancing one’s own knowledge in Islam. This
institute has Alhamdulillah seen many of our students graduate as Hafizas’
and Alimahs’ and it is even more incredible to see that these students are
continuing to expand what was taught to them as they are now also
teaching others.
And of course, these tireless efforts have not gone in vain. One of the major
challenges faced by Jamia Taleemul Quran Lil Banaat is the effort of
managing boarding students. Another major challenge was to manage the
above mentioned day-to-day program and simultaneously prepare the
students’ meals. But Alhamdulillah, by Allah (SWT)’s grace and countless
blessings, all these challenges were well catered by our hardworking
members. At this point, I express my sincere gratitude towards my
institute’s members as well as the general public at large for all their
contribution towards the success of Jamia Taleemul Quran Lil Banaat.
Having said that, the Madarsa has future plans of In Sha Allah developing
more classrooms to accommodate teaching and learning as well as
construction of a hall for workshops or events. We also intend to In Sha
Allah get cooking appliances and sewing machines.
I conclude by acknowledging that all this was inevitably possible with Allah
(SWT)’s blessing and I sincerely thank all those who have made this
institute a success in any way possible. May Allah (SWT) bestow his choicest
blessings upon us all and may he continue to expand our knowledge to help
better impart it. Ameen.
Wassalaam

ESTABLISHMENT
Jamia Taleemul Quran Lil Banaat was established in 2005 at Toorak Mosque.
This is now an independent Islamic institute operating from Koronivia.
It provides chances to Muslim girls and women of Fiji to learn about their
religion Islam both briefly and broadly, it also provides a chance of
becoming an Alimah or memorizes the Holy Quran and become a Hafiza. By
the grace of Allah JTQ is now also a boarding madarsa.
There are approximately 100 students that currently attend Jamia Taleemul
Quran Lil Banaat made up of fulltime, part time and boarding youths and as
well as ladies. These students are of various backgrounds, yet the institute
brings them all together to achieve the common goal of excelling one’s
faith.
The day program of JTQ is from 9am to 3pm on Weekdays and from 9am to
1:30pm on Saturdays. The students of our institute are monitored 24/7.
The madrasa currently caters for 20 girls (including a Matron) who are living
in and come from different parts of the country such as Taveuni, Savusavu,
Labasa, Lautoka, Navua, and from Suva to Nausori corridor.
JTQ also offers its graduate students a chance to get teachers training and
teach at this institute or privately.
We have a total of 9 staffs including the principal. 7 are local staffs and 2
staffs are from Pakistan (including the principal).
This used to be the only institute in Fiji teaching Islamic knowledge to girls,
however, the previous students of JTQ are now teaching at various places
around Fiji and overseas, Alhamdulillah!
“Challenges are
what makes life
interesting and
overcoming them
is what makes it
meaningful.”

THE STORY OF PROPHET ADAM (A.S)
Allah made the mountains and the seas. He
made all the animals. He made the heavens
and the stars. He made the sun and the
moon and he made the angels. The angels
were like Allah's servants and did
everything He ordered.
Then Allah decided to make a man. He
called this first man Adam. He taught him
many things so that Adam had more
knowledge than the angels.
There was one Jinn, called Iblis and he
thought he was better than Adam so Allah
would not let him stay with the other
angels. He was to be called 'Shaytan', the
Devil. Shaytan blamed Adam for what had
happened to him and was very angry.
Allah let Adam live in a beautiful place
because he was good. The place was called
Paradise. It was a very nice place but
Adam was a little lonely, on his own all of
the time. Allah decided to help Adam. He
made Hawwa to be Adam's wife. They
were happy and liked living in Paradise.
There was, however, one thing they were
not allowed to do. There was a special tree
and Allah had told them they
must not eat any fruit from that
tree. At first Adam and Hawwa
were very good and kept away
from the tree.
15 15

But Shaytan decided to do something very naughty. He told them they were
silly to keep away from the tree. He said nothing would happen if they ate its
fruit. He said the fruit was delicious and they should try it.
After a while they began to listen to Shaytan and thought they would have
just a little taste of the fruit, just to see what it was like. Shaytan was very
happy because he had made them disobey Allah.
As soon as they had eaten the fruit, Adam and Hawwa realized that they did
wrong but it was too late.
Allah became angry at them and send them to live on earth. After asking for
forgiveness for a long time Allah forgave them but He wouldn't
let them stay in Paradise anymore and they lived on earth
from thereon.

Why is marriage important in Islam?
What do you think?
Well Islam, unlike other religions is a strong
advocate of marriage. There is no place for celibacy
such as Roman Catholic priests and nuns. The
prophet (SAW) has said "there is no celibacy in
Islam”. He (SAW) also said
“Nikah is my Sunnah, My system. Whoever turns
away from my Sunnah, he is not from me or have
no relation with me.”
It is a religious duty and is consequently a moral
safeguard. Moral safeguard in a sense that it will
make halaal for us what is a natural inclination for
men; our sexual needs and desires. The Prophet
SAW said:
“o, young people! Whoever among you can marry,
should marry, for that is more modest for his gaze
and safer for your private parts.”Sahih al Bukhari
And psychologically it is said that relationships are a
vital component of health and wellbeing. There is
compelling evidence that strong relationships
contributes to a healthy and happy life. We need a
companion to share our lives with, take Adam (AS)
for example he was given paradise but he was still
not happy. He felt lonely and sad, he felt
incomplete.
Quran states “And one of His signs is that He
created mates for you from yourselves that you
may find rest in them, and He put between you love
and compassion; most surely there are signs in this
for people who reflect.”(30:21).
But...... we are living in times of great fitna, in which
our youths are confused about where and how to
instil Islamic principles in their day-to-day dealings
with people around them. Youths today need to be
empowered with the rightful knowledge. One very
crucial help would be, understanding the correct
concept of Nikkah by choosing a partner correctly.
IDEAL SPOUSE
What do you think?? Is there any such thing as an ideal spouse?
Our youths these days get married believing in a myth that
marriage is a beautiful box full of all the things they have longed
for; companionship, intimacy, friendship etc…but the truth is,
that marriage at the start is an empty box, we have to fill in the
box first before we can take anything out. There is no love in
marriage, love is in us, people, and we put love into our
marriages. There is no romance in marriage; we have to infuse it
into our marriages. A couple must learn the art, and form the
habit of giving, loving, serving, praising, to keep the box full. If
you take out more than you put in, the box will be empty. No
relationship is said to be all sunshine, but two people can share
one umbrella and survive the rain together. But what we are
doing is look for instant gratification in everything we do. We
want the maturity in a relationship that comes with time; the
emotional connection that develops over years, that sense of
belonging when we barely even know the other person.
Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) reported Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
as saying, "A woman may be married for four reasons; for her
property, her rank, her beauty and her religion, so get the one
who is religious and prosper." (Bukhari and Muslim)
We are so influenced by the mass media that we build an image
of our ideal spouse from all these sources. We want our spouse
to have a body like this model or actor, hair like this actor Allah
hu akbar at times we even decide the voice that our spouse
should have. Subhanallah. Our Nabi (SAW) has given us the
proper guidelines and the correct procedure. He has told us to
marry within our kufu which means to marry someone who is of
the same standard, religiously, worldly and looks wise as well as
family background. Marriage in Islam is viewed as an important
and sacred union between a man and woman that fulfils half of
one’s religious obligations.
Anas bin Malik, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad,
reported that the Prophet Mohammad(SAW) said,” Any man
whom Allah provides with a virtuous wife has been helped in
half of his Deen (religion), so he should fear Allah regarding the
other half.”
The Prophet considered marriage for a Muslim as half of his
religion because it shields him from promiscuity, adultery,
fornication, homosexuality etc. According to the Prophet (SAW)
the remaining half of the faith can be saved by Taqwa.

HEALTY RELATIONSHIP
A good marriage is not built upon the foundation of one partner
feeling like a child and the other feeling like a parent. Only when
partners relate as peers is it possible to experience mutual respect,
sharing, support for each other, and the ability to disagree without
the threat of losing the relationship. With that type of
underpinning, the marriage will thrive. Some of the important
components of a healthy relationship is; mutual respect, trust,
honesty, understanding, pity, support, fairness/equality, good
communication.
Now mutual respect...this is accepting each other just the way they
are and respecting them as they are. Honesty, this goes hand-inhand
with trust coz it's tough to trust someone when one of you
aren't being honest. Understanding, this is not a characteristic
many people possess. To keep a relationship strong it is imperative
to be understanding towards your partner, especially during
difficulties. Pity, you should be compassionate towards each other.
You should be supportive not only in good times but in difficult
times as well being a shoulder to cry on. Fairness and equality; it is
important to have a give and take relationship. It's not like you
have to keep count of every event and keep it equal. Things get
bad real fast if relationship turns into a power struggle with one
partner fighting to get his or her way all the time.
In a healthy relationship you should have that security of being
able to openly express your feelings without any sort of fear. A
healthy relationship would be like when you and your partner are
both communicating properly with each other, like you can talk
openly about your problems, you listen to each other, hear each
other, respect each other’s opinions are willing to compromise,
you value each other’s believes, opinions; believes off cause within
the limits of shariyah; each other’s boundaries are also valued.
"They (your wives) are your garment and
you are a garment for them" (Noble Quran 2:187)
This verse of the Quran reveals the basic purpose and concept of
marriage in Islam. Islam says that a wife and husband should have
the most intimate and loving relationship. Each should cover,
protect, and safeguard the interests of the other partner. The fact
that man and woman are considered garments to each other
suggests that both have an equal status in sharing the
responsibilities of marriage. There should be no secrets between
them. Both confide fully in each other and share their joys and
sorrows without any hesitation. Similarly, husband and wife should
not only cover and shield each other from external worries,
temptations, abuses....etc., but should do so with grace and
dignity.
Compiled by S. A. Razak
“A HEALTHY MARRIAGE IS BETTER THAN A WEALTHY WEDDING ”
UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP
Relationships can be categorized into three
types: healthy, and unhealthy and abusive.
Healthy relationship we have discussed but
what about unhealthy relationship? What is
unhealthy relationship and how do we
recognise what that is?
A relationship is unhealthy when it involves
mean, disrespectful, controlling or abusive
behaviour. Some examples of unhealthy
relationships and abusive relationship are:
harming physically- hitting, punching, trying
to control your partners every move, telling
your partner what to do and what not to do,
restricting your partner according to your own
desires, making them feel unworthy.
Threatening to harm or self-harm, This is
especially when the victim wants to leave the
relationship. Also blaming your partner for all
their mistakes, demanding your where abouts
and excessive control all in the name of love.
But remember one thing, jealousy is a part of
human nature. It’s normal but if it exceeds
the limit it takes away the rights of the
opposite person and that makes it abusive.
The very first step in getting out of an abusive
relationship is to realize that you have the
right to be treated with respect and not be
physically or emotionally or by any other
means harmed by the other person. It is
crucial for anyone who is in such a
relationship to ask for help because leaving
things as they are in an abusive relationship
with the hope that one day it might get better
is very dangerous cause remember staying
quite about the abuse is also not right for it is
stated in the hadith by bukhari;
Allah's Apostle (SAW) said,
"Help your brother, whether he is an
oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People
asked, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! It is all right
to help him if he is oppressed, but how
should we help him if he is an oppressor?"
The Prophet (SAW) said, "By preventing him
from oppressing others."
18 16

“TALAQ” this is a tragic end to something that should be a very beautiful and “ba-barakat”
relationship. Divorce is something that is very much discouraged in Islam. It dissolves families
and deprives children the family atmosphere.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"The most hateful permissible thing (al-Halal) in the sight of Allah is divorce." (Abu Dawud)
This should be the last resort. Every attempt should be made to save a Nikah. It is narrated by
bukahri the Prophet (SAW) said; “when a husband and wife looks at each other with love,
Allah (SWT) looks at them with mercy”. And it is also narrated that the greatest achievement
for shaitan is when he manages to break up a marriage. We have to understand that no
marriage has ever been nor will it ever be all roses and sunshine. Even in the house of
Prophet (SAW) there were times when they had conflicts and troubles. But our prophet
(SAW) handled these difficult times with at most wisdom and patience’s. That is why it is very
crucial for us Muslims to always look towards the life of our beloved prophet SAW when we
are in trouble or lost. At times when we are going through difficulties we pray asking Allah
SWT for help and guidance and then we start wondering why we are not getting any answers.
We forget that life is a TEST and during a test a teacher is always quite. It’s like we are praying
to Allah SWT...”Ya Allah please give me patience.....RIGHT NOW!!!”
The spouses should avoid divorce as much as possible. If they have difficulties and problems,
they should be patient and forbearing. They should try to work out their differences and seek
help from their relatives, friends or professional counselors.
Due to the sacredness of the marriage contract, Islam asks both the husband and the wife to
keep and respect this bond. Thus, each partner in this sacred relationship must treat the
other kindly and properly. A man must not divorce his wife to bring harm upon her, as this
constitutes an act that demolishes this noble establishment, breaks the woman’s heart, and
possibly separates the woman from her children without any reason. Thus, the separation
between a man and his wife (without just reasons) was considered one of the major and
grave sins, and one of the most beloved actions of Satan, as was narrated in a number of
hadiths. This is, of course, a form of oppression which is totally forbidden in Islam.
And since the husband must never divorce his wife in order to bring harm upon her without
reason, it is also forbidden for a woman to ask for a divorce without a sensible reason. The
Prophet (SAW) said:
“Any woman who asks her husband to divorce her without an acceptable reason will never
smell the scent of Paradise.”
Given the above, it becomes crystal clear that neither the husband nor the wife has the right
to resort to divorce without justification. Divorce should be the last resort after all attempts
of reconciliation fail. And Allah Almighty says,
".… And consort with them in kindness, for if you dislike them, it may be that you dislike
something in which Allah has placed much good." (An-Nisa'4:19)
A husband should accept reconciliation, particularly when his wife shows her wish for reform
and obedience. When you judge people by their flaws, it does not define them….It defines
you. Ali Ibn Abu Talib (RA) narrates the worst of our faults is our interest in other peoples
faults. This is why it has been emphasised that we marry a man who fears Allah so that he will
treat you right because of his fear of Allah.
CORRECT
PROCEDURE FOR
DIVORCE
"Divorce is the most
hateful thing to Allah, but
it is allowed (halal) only in
the case of absolute
necessity. If a couple tried
their best to reconcile
their differences, but they
still could not agree and
they found it impossible to
live with each other, then
only in that case they
should separate in a
proper and decent
manner. Divorce can be
initiated by the husband or
by the wife. The husband
has the right to pronounce
the words of divorce
(talaq) to his wife. The
wife can seek divorce from
her husband through
khula`, but if he refuses to
grant her request then she
can seek the dissolution of
marriage through the
court of law. The Shari`ah
has not given the right to a
woman to divorce her
husband, because only the
husband has all the
financial obligations of the
family. Thus to grant her
that right equally with the
husband while she has no
financial obligation is
unfair and unjust.

Common Reasons People Get Divorced
If you think that sexual infidelity is the only cause of
divorce, you’ve got it all wrong. Research shows that
communication problems came out on top as the number
one reason marriages fail. Some other culprits which is
blamed for the high divorce rate is;
Firstly getting married for the wrong reasons. Now
marrying for money......we’ve all heard that this is a ticket
to a quick divorce, but what about when you marry because
it’s what you think you should do? Or what people say you
should do? There are so many divorced women out there
who say the problems that made them leave were there
right from the beginning but “everyone expected us to live
happily ever after” or “we had already spent so much
money on the wedding” or “we had just built our dream
home.” But, remember, until you say “Qabool hai,” you
always have the choice to say “Qabool Nahi!”
Lack of individual identity. A co-dependent relationship is
not healthy. When you don’t have your own interests or the
opportunity to express yourself outside of your marriage,
you become lost.
Becoming lost in the roles. Just as many couples “forget”
their single friends and single ways when they get married,
when you add children into the mix, most parents soon
neglect or completely forget that they are a couple. As
children grow and need less attention, many husbands and
wives find that they have grown apart and they can’t
remember why they ever got married in the first place
because they no longer have anything in common.
The intimacy disappears. Somewhere in a marriage there is
a subtle change in the intimacy department. Then there’s
the idea that he isn’t as romantic or she isn’t as sexual. Men
generally need sexual receptivity to feel romantic and
women generally need romance to be sexually receptive. As
long as both partners are getting what they need, they
willingly provide what the other person wants. However,
when there is a lessening on either’s part that can trigger a
pulling back in the other. If gone unnoticed and unchecked,
this can lead to divorce as couples begin to feel unloved and
unappreciated.
Unmet expectations. Somewhere written into a human’s
genetic code lie the instruction that when a person isn’t
happy, he or she is supposed to force his/her significant to
make the changes required to make the unhappy person
happy again. This usually takes the form of complaining,
blaming, criticizing, nagging, threatening, punishing and/or
bribing. “Everything changed when we got married!” He
drives you crazy because you’re a saver and he’s a spender.
He thinks it’s your job to cook and clean, but you disagree.
Different priorities and interests. Having shared interests
and exploring them together is essential for a successful
marriage. Of course, having “me time” is important as well,
but unless you can find common passions and look for ways
to experience them together, you’ll inevitably grow farther
and farther apart.
WHEN DIVORCE?
People can divorce for many reasons but what does
Islam say??? Well here we should follow the guidelines
our prophet SAW has given; if u do friendships do it for
Allah, if u break friendships do it for Allah if u join
relations do it for Allah, and if u break relations do it
only for Allah. So the only time we should consider
divorce as an option is when our relationship is taking
us away from deen and away from Allah SWT.
And we should always remember that Islam is not a
religion of strictness. It is the people who with their
miss understandings instill extremes into our religion.
The best of examples our Nabi SAW has already given
us, the solutions to all our problems are there in the
sunnah of our Nabi SAW, we just have to study the life
of our beloved prophet to see. Lastly I would like to say
that if ever life does present anyone of us with the
difficult test of going through divorce just remember as
long as your intentions are pure and its within the
boundaries of shari’ah, then be at peace and remember
Allah SWT never burdens any of His servants more than
they can bare. Our beloved Prophet SAWs daughters
also went through this test. When Allah (SWT) knows
you’re really for the responsibility of commitment, he’ll
reveal the right person under the right circumstance.
Wait patiently. Don’t waste your time searching and
wishing. Grow and be ready, you’ll see Allah(SWT) will
give you far better than you could ever dream of.Just
say, “Hasbunallahu Wa Ni’mal Wakeel” move on
inshah Allah.
In conclusion, I would like to say that Muslims must
protect their family life and must avoid divorce as much
as possible. But if it becomes necessary to have divorce
then use the Islamic methods and procedures.
Obviously we cannot give all the details regarding the
proper procedure of divorce here. For more
information regarding this please refer to the proper
books or for better guidance & judgment consult an
alim.
