I begin with the name of Allah the most merciful and the most kind, peace and blessing be upon beloved Prophet (S.A.W) All praise is for Allah.

We praise him and seek his help and his forgiveness and we believe in Him and rely on Him. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of ourselves and the vices of our deeds. There is no one to misguide whom Allah guides and there is no one to guide whom Allah lets go astray (refuses to follow the divine guidance). I bear witness that there is not God but Allah alone. He (the most high) has no partner. I bear witness that our authority, our prophet and our master (beloved) Muhammad is His servant and His messenger. May Allah have mercy on Him (S.A.W), His household and His companions and bless them in great abundance.

On the occasion of Hajj every year we must remember and renew the most beautiful Khutbah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) in which addressed the whole Ummah of Islam and provided the first chanter of human rights more than 1300 years ago. Among the most enlighten admonitions and lessons to be learnt and practiced is fulfilling our duties to ladies. The beloved Messenger of Allah may Peace and blessing be upon him has said in last sermon:

"O people you, your women certain rights" and like wise you have rights over your women. The truth loyal Muslim brother is one who gives importance to this Nasiya (advise or domination or order) of Rasulallah (S.A.W) and tries his best to first know properly what are his duties to women in the society. As son he must know rights and status of his mother, as a husband the rights of his wife, as a brother the rights of his sisters and a father duties towards his daughter.

The Messenger of Allah Sallallah-Alai-Hiwasallam has said: "Treat your women nicely as they are bounded to you and are (many of them) incapable of managing many of their affairs themselves. Hence always keep Allah's command in view." There are many men's in the Muslim Communities who firstly do not know their wives and there many who don't know the rights of their wife's, but do not actually fulfil there duties. Those brothers (husbands) who do not provide the basic necessities of the wife's are causing sinfulness and disobedience to Allah and his beloved Prophet (S.A.W) Allah said concerning the right of Mahr (obligatory bridal money) "A give to woman you marry their Mahr with a good heart but if they, of their own good pleasure permit nay part of it to you, take it and enjoy it without fear of any harm. Many of men in some cultures who marry with good heart.

Providing shelter, food, clothing's etc are the duties of the husband towards their wife's. Allah said: "Feed and cloth them out give it and speak to them words of kindness and justice". (4-5 Al-Qur'an)

RIGHT OF INHERITANCE

Those who neglect their daughters, sisters and other female relatives from the right of their inheritance are those who disobey the order of Allah (S.W.T) mentioned in the Qur'an. Allah (S.W.T) says: "there is a share for men and a share for women from what is left by parents and the nearest related, whether the property be small or large - a legal share." 8-4 Qur'an

What I have noticed in our Pakistani culture influenced greatly by Hindu women is mostly not given their share from the property of their fathers. If a sister demands her right of inheritance the brothers mostly consider her un-loyal or a bad person so due to this concept mostly women are deprived of their large or small which is their legal right clearly declared in the Holy Qur'an.

Those who keep their blood sisters deprived of legal rights how can they practise the verse of Qur'an in which Allah (S.W.T) said. "And when the relatives and the orphans and the poor are present at that time of division give them out of the property and speak to them and words of kindness and justice" In verse number 11 and 12 the details of inheritance is clearly mentioned and in the verse 13 and 14 Allah (S.W.T) said: "There are limits (set by) Allah (SWA) (or ordainments as regards laws of inheritance) and who so ever obeys Allah (S.W.T) and His Messenger (SAW) will be admitted to gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) to aside there in and that will be the great success. And who so ever disobeys Allah (S.W.T) and his Messenger Muhammad (SAW) and transgress his limits, He (Allah (S.W.T)) will cast him into fire to abide there in; and he shall have a disgraceful torment" Surah An-Nisa Ayah (verse) 13 and 14.

Ayesha (R.A) reported that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: "The best of you is he who is best of you to his family, and I am the best of you to my family; and when your companion dies, leave him." By Tirmizi, Ibn Majah.

Abu Masud (R.A) reported that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: "When ever a Muslim spends something for his family hoping for it(reward) there is an act of charity for him." Agreed.

Saoban (R.A) reported that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: "The best dinar a man spends is dinar he spends for his family, and a dinar he spends for his animals in the way of Allah, and a dinar he spends for his companions in the way of Allah." Muslim.

Abu Hurairah (R.A) reported that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: "He is not of us who poisons the mind of a woman against her husband, or a slave against his master." By Abu Daud.

Ayesha (R.A) reported that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: "Certainly the most perfect of the believers in faith is one who is the best of them in conduct, and the most affable of them to his family." By Tirmizi.

Abu Hurairah (R.A) reported that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: "The most perfect of the believers in faith is he who is the best of them in conduct, and the best of you are those who are the best to their wives." By Tirmizi (approved, correct) and Abu Daud narrated it up to his saying-in conduct.
