Triple talaq and celebrating teachers

Tuesday 29th August 2017 14:13 EDT
 

Most Muslim countries have discarded triple talaq and sections within the Indian Muslim community do not follow it.

Therefore, it is incumbent upon the All India Muslim Personal Law Board to reform the un-Islamic aspects of the Muslim personal law and bring it in conformity with the Holy Qu'ran and the authentic teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

Why should the Constitution of India allow Muslim husbands to perform triple talaq to their wives and allow their wives to suffer the consequences with no alimony throughout their life?

By merely pronouncing triple talaq through social media or through any other form is sinful because the man violates the sanctity of marriage and dehumanizes the woman. What type of religious teaching is this for Muslim men?

Teacher’s Day in India is celebrated on September 5th and it is the day which is dedicated to commemorate the entire community of teachers across the nation.

For students, Teacher’s Day is the most auspicious occasion where they get the opportunity to pay tribute, gratitude and reverence to their teachers for the extraordinary support and unselfish effort in shaping their career and for enhancing the education system of the country with their unique learning processes.

On Teacher’s Day, students often dress up like their teachers and teach their juniors, in the way they have seen their teachers doing. Sometimes, teachers also sit in classrooms and act like students, reliving their time when they were students themselves.

Since children spend a lot of time in school in their formative and impressionable years, teachers wield a great influence on them.
