Gender Relations by Sh. Abdullah Adhami

as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatAllah,

We discussed this six-tape series before [url=http://www.jannah.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl/YaBB.pl?board=kebab&action=display&num=6192]here[/url], but I just finished the set and I want to recommend it to everyone!

Man, I was just *blown away* by Sh. Abdullah's insight, knowledge and approach to the topic.. mashaAllah.  It wasn't at all a dry listing of rights and obligations of male and female (which is sort of what I was expecting).  I loved his approach, and the way he addressed certain issues.. things like a wife's obedience to her husband, a husband's right to 'beat' his wife, the 'degree' men hold over women, etc.. and also what he said about the differences in the *nature* of men and women, not just in terms of communication style but in how they experience things.  I thought to myself more than once when listening to it that Sh. Abdullah seems to be the only man on the planet that understands women  :P

It was just an amazing series, mashaAllah, and I learned *a lot*.  I think it should be required listening before marriage, for both brothers and sisters ;)  

I give it  [] [] [] [] and 3/4[]  [minus 1/4 only because the sound quality was difficult at times, and the actual issue of 'relations' i.e. social interaction was not really discussed]

May Allah accept Sh. Abdullah's efforts, grant him mercy, and increase him in knowledge.

wasalaamu alaykum :-)

i second your suggestion that it should be a 'must listen' before marriage for every bro/sis!!

after going thru the series i was just 'blown away' too :) and it's really amazing how ignorant as an ummah we are about the rights and responsibilities Allah has bestowed on us..

Does anyone know if the series will ever come out onto a CD? I'd like to be able to listen to it in the car since i have a lot of driving to do, and i don't have a tape player in there.  I think i'll prolly have to break down and just get the tapes  :)

so se7en did you count how many times Shaykh Adhami exclaimed "this is divine language!" during the entire series?...:)

I'm not sure if i would say I was "blown away", to use se7en's language, because that might be an understatement. I think some brothers listening to it, who might not yet be like the night of Tihama, might look like  :o or :-[ while listening to it. :)

The series is definitely a gem, and its one that you can listen to multiple times and pick more things from it each time you listen. The depth and the realism of the discussion is what makes it so unique.

Ameen. And may Allah facilitate the production of his planned book based on the manuscript he discusses during the series. We as an ummah badly need it!

His understanding of the philology and analysis of the etymology and linguistics of the Arabic language is *amazing* subhanAllah.  I loved how he could answer questions simply by analyzing a key word in the text.
