The last Messenger of ALLAH, Hazrat Muhammad PBUH was born in Makkah, a city of Arabia. A question often arises that why Arabia was chosen for the Prophet-hood of Hazrat Muhammad PBUH. The question, indeed, demands answers. Why he was not sent to any other country? A great author of Islamic history, Akbar Shah Najeebadadi has given a detailed answer to this question. According to him, the most sensible and specific reply to this question is that the last Prophet PBUH had, after all, to be born in any one particular nation and so the question arises in every case. So the question itself has no meaning. Another answer to the question is that all the recognized countries had at one time achieved progress and development and got distinction in the globe of civilization, society, ethics and science. Moreover, every country had tasted victory and overcome in due course. No tongue of any other nation of the world had reached such perfection as Arabic, which had surpassed other languages in the power of expression.

Zakat is considered the third pillar of Islam, among the five foundations in which Islam based on, and mostly performed in the month of Ramadan. The birthplace of Islam is Mecca. So, Islamic education is generally mixed with Arabic culture. So that Zakat is a common term in Arabic culture. Allah (the Arabic of God) has given proprieties to man for their livelihood. According to Arab or Muslim culture everyone has the equal rights on the proprieties which are given to men by Allah. According to Muslim culture or Arabic culture, as the greater part of Arabia is Muslim, the poor has right to the wealth of a rich Muslim. For this reason Allah sends the system of Zakat.

"Kembali ke kasus yang anda ceritakan, bila sang istri terbukti selingkuh -walaupun tidak sampai berzina- maka tindakan yang paling tepat -menurut saya- adalah wajib menceraikannya dan tidak sepantasnya seorang suami mempertahankan istri yang telah mencederai kesetiaannya dengan berbuat serong (dengan maknanya yang luas). Sebab, istri telah melakukan kesalahan yang tidak bisa dipandang remeh. Menjalin hubungan asmara terlarang dengan lelaki lain, siapapun dia. Syaikh Prof. DR. Shalih Fauzan Al-Fauzan Hafizhahullah (seorang anggota majelis ulama besar kerajaan saudi Arabia dan anggota Islamic Fiqh Academy (IFQ) Liga Muslim Dunia (Rabithoh al-'Alam al-Islami)) memaparkan: "Apabila keadaan istri tidak lurus agamanya, seperti meninggalkan shalat atau suka mengakhirkan pelaksanaannya di akhir waktu, sementara suami tidak mampu memperbaikinya, atau bila tidak memelihara kehormatannya, maka menurut pendapat yang rajih, suami dalam kondisi ini wajib untuk menceraikan istrinya." (Al-Mulakhas Al-Fiqhi, 2/305) Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah Raahimahullahu Ta'ala berkata: "Jika istri berzina, maka suami tidak boleh tetap mempertahankannya dalam kondisi ini. Kalau tidak, ia menjadi dayyuuts (suami yang membiarkan maksiat terjadi di dalam rumah)". "
