Caliph Umar and Mahar
"O Commander of the Faithful, which one shall we follow, the Book of
Allah or did you say?" A woman boldly asking questions to the Caliph
'Umar had just finished preaching.
The woman was responding to a statement of 'Umar that prohibits make the use of the dowry. 'Umar limit, under the dowry should not be more than 12 uqiyah or equal to 50 dirhams. While stating, "Indeed, if there is someone who gives or given dowry
more than dowry given the Prophet surely I take the excess to the Baitul
mal"
Muslimah
brave it was then quoting God, "And if you want to replace your wife
with another wife, while you have given one of them a treasure that a
lot, so do not take it back from him the slightest. Are you going to take it back to the false accusations and the (bear) manifest sin? "(Surah An-Nisa ': 20)
Caliph 'Umar realized kekhilafannya, then without shame, he confirmed
the woman's words and admitted his guilt, "This woman was right, and'
Umar is wrong" he said in front of many people.
Reflection Wisdom:
Many lessons can be learned from this story. At least three ,,First, how Islam accommodate the role of women. They have equality for expressing opinions.Secondly, as caliph, 'Umar was cited as a leader in the attitude Legawa accept criticism from people. 'Umar honestly admit the truth of what she was even in front of the crowd, without a feeling of pride.Third, as a people, women feel they have the responsibility to straighten when leaders behave incorrectly. And this is the heaviest propaganda, rebuked the ruling was wrong.
Prophet Muhammad once said "Jihad is the main word right before ruling that wrongdoers" (At Tirmidhi and Al Hakim)
