Aadaab to be observed by seniors for juniors
16. So-called religious persons who are deficient in discharging the rights of their associates are in fact unaware of the Deen. In reality they are not religious, even though people regard them as being pious.
Aadaab of elders
14. One's Ustaadh and Shaikh hold great rights over one, hence obey them as far as possible. Keep them happy in all ways. They are the guides who guide one out of the darkness and into the light. They set one on the course leading to the True Beloved, viz., Allah Ta'ala. What greater act of kindness can there be than this?

A letter:
To the group of ladies who are working with the constitutional court to amend the Shariah by means of the Muslim Marriages Bill...
I would like you to know that you do not represent me. You do not speak on my behalf. I distance myself completely from what you are doing.
I am a Muslimah living in South Africa.
The Openly Stated Aim of the Muslim Marriages Bill – To Reform the Shari’ah
To claim that the proposed Muslim Marriages Bill has a hidden agenda is incorrect. Agenda Yes. Hidden – well not so hidden. In fact the modernist lobby are explicitly clear about the aims they wish to achieve via the Bill.
The brief given to some of the Project Committee members can be gauged from the following.
South African Muslim women striving towards a goal of gender equality should actively involve themselves in the process of refashioning Islamic law within the new constitutional dispensation. It is important that they participate in the South African Law Commission’s investigation into Islamic marriages and related matters in order to ensure that their equality rights are in no way compromised in favour of religious and cultural freedoms and rights. In doing so they must ensure that they are actively involved in all legislation concerning religious custom and usage. Only then will they be in a position to ensure substantive equality between Muslim men and women. (Gender Equality and Religious Family Laws in South Africa – Christa Rautenbach.)
As it will be seen below, they have attempted to diligently carry out this mission of “refashioning” Shariah.
