WHY IS NIKAH NECESSARY FOR A WIDOW??

Hazrat Maulana Rehmat Ullah Subhani (R.A) writes that in Azeemabad a lady became a widow at a very young age. She made fasting and offering timely prayers her routine. She became the one fasting during the day and praying during the night in a literal sense.

Dealing with issues
At Iftar, she used to have a piece of bread or wheat husk and indulged herself day and night in the recitation of Holy Quran. She grew old in this situation. Hundreds of women seeing her piousness started believing in her. At her deathbed, she called all the women and asked them what kind of life did I spend??

All of them said:

you never saw a man, fasted throughout your life, ate dry bread or had sattu(a drink in Asia) and spent your days and nights in the recitation of Holy Quran and your prayers.

Then she said:

Now listen what I felt, from my youth till my old age whenever I heard the voice of the watchman while reciting the Holy Quran at night, I wanted to go near him but the fear of Allah and embarrassment in facing the people refrained me from it. Now my death time is near, I advise you all that never leave a young widow without Nikah.

This incident makes it clear that no matter how pious or god fearing a woman may be, no matter how simple she might eat but because of her humanly requirement she always desires for a man. In the same way, a man requires a woman such that even the animals and the birds are not spared.

That is why the relatives should take care when a girl or a boy enters their youth, instead of thinking they should save money for the dowry, for futile traditions like Mehendi(Alkane/Henna), get together and reception , (however, for Nikah nothing is needed except Dower (Haq Mahr) even that is a small amount ) if they find someone who practices the religion and is good they should make haste and get the girl or boy married with simplicity as soon as possible .

In the same manner, efforts should also be made to get the widow or the divorced married at the earliest and no obstacles should be created in the way.
