Lifting the Veil

In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Especially Merciful

A man and a woman have words; so bad that they even scare away the birds. The woman needing support calls her friend to complain; while the friend is quite happy that the woman this course must maintain. Hardly a word is spoken that between husband and wife they should mend; rather what is advised by this friend is only to offend. The man on his part too may not say much; yet he too may find every bit of fun as a clutch. So it is that many a time a marriage sadly does fail;  for every problem that happens is void of a veil.

Often we think that marriage is perhaps difficult a bond to break;  but alas few give it the necessary attention it may take. And so as easy as a broken marriage;  so with it often it goes a justice-miscarriage.  Many suffer for one or both were misled;  simply because of the public broadcast of what was being said. With a soapie mentality we find that both female and male; they gladly seize every opportunity to tell the tale. They do so without fail;  for the mouths too are without veil.

Perhaps we will realise that any bond that we help break; it is the great instability we make. We promise to be there for a friend;  when it is to our own marriage we must tend. It is really easy to give advice;  it is someone else’s life that will pay the price. Do this, do that, how can he; while the other says who really she thinks is she. Cheap words are now spoken; words with which so easy the marriage vow is broken. At such gossip crowds gather as if it is a sale; that happens when we on our privacy lift the veil.

So shall we rather not speak kind words; perhaps the two will once again become love-birds.  You are fortunate that things in your life is rosy;  help others therefore to at least make their home cosy. The children should at no time be harmed, ensuring only that their emotions are calmed. We need to help every family build a home lest we find any one of them the streets roam. Spread love not mischief nor ever mislead, if only we can realise the power of this deed.

Next time before we say a word rather we inhale, then exhale .. but never never so whimsically lift the veil
