Abdulla Madumoole, General Secretary, BWF, Abu Dhabi

First of all I thank, on behalf of BWF,the entire Daijiworld team for the beautiful coverage of our Mass Marriage program.Also, I thank all the readers who have expressed their appreciation and take note of their suggestions.

I am afraid, the message we wanted to convey to the society through our mass marriage program has not been passed on properly.Therefore,I would like to list the purposes of our program below:

1.Of course, helping poor and aged girls
2.Opposing dowry system and encouraging simple marriages
3.Encouraging rich people to undertake similar programs to help under priviliged sections of our society 4.Fulfilling our social responsibilty as mandated by the Quran and guided by our Prophet (PBUH) and also alerting the Muslim society that evey one has social obligations, for all the social problems society is also responsible. Thanks again. - Abdulla Madumoole

I really appreciate BWF's efforts and request to utilize its resources to do some more creative steps to dispel myths and misperceptions about Muslims as extremists especially in coastal media outlets and liberate Muslims from their misery and uplift them socially, educationally and economically.

Congratulations…., on the gracious occasion organized by Bearys Welfare Forum - Abu Dhabi. Dowry system is a social menace which can be eradicated by collective efforts. Nowadays marriage has become a show of wealth for riches and burden for the poor.

In this juncture BWF took a challenge which unveiled chord of humanity and set an example against social stigma like dowry system. I would like to congratulate office bearers of the forum who work hard and contributors who support generously to make this event successful. God bless all of them and encourage more people to conduct such events.

Dowry is a real menace to the society. And for every Muslim Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) is the example and he should be our model. The prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) taught us that a man should give bridal money to the girl’s parent at the time of marriage and here in our community the custom prevails over religion.

If every Muslim understands his religion properly and follows it then there is no need for any organizations to conduct such ceremony. The Holy Qur’an clearly says: “And give to the women (whom you marry) their Mahr (obligatory bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm (as God has made it lawful)” (Qur’an 4:4).

This bridal money is to be given to one’s wife at the time of marriage, of which the girl would give to her parents who have brought her up. I hope the evil practice of dowry system which continues existing in our society will be eradicated by the educated young generation.
