Demonstration of love between co-wives, case of Bala and Mahun Hatun

Are you married to two wives? Or are you one of the two wives? You need to watch one of the episodes of Kurulus Osman, Season 3. Even though movies are for entertainment, there are lessons to be learned from the demonstration of love between Osman Bey, and his two wives, Bala Hatun and Mahun Hatun. Read the dialogue below:

Intro;

Since Mahun Hatun got married to Osman Bey as a second wife and gave birth to Orhan, Mahun, the fearless warrior had not participated in any holy war. She had since been dedicated to taking care of her son, the heir of the Kayi tribe. So upon hearing that her Bey and his Alps were planning to go on another, she asked:

Mahun Hatun:  Bey, if you allow me, I’d like to participate in this glorious conquest.

Osman Bey: This isn’t the right time because in a holy war, you could be martyred, which is a good end for every believer, but once that happens who will take care of Orhan?

Mahun Hatun: Does Orhan have only mother? Doesn’t she belong to all of us? Bala Hatun is practically his mother too.

[Bala Hatun, Osman’s first wife has no child of her own yet].

Mahun Hatun: Until I come back, Bala Hatun will take care of our son. Isn’t that right, Bala?

Bala Hatun: Of course, I will take good care of MY Orhan. Bala Hatun has been longing for conquest for long and she doesn’t want to miss this opportunity even if is she martyred, Osman Bey.

Mahun Hatun  brought Orhan to Bala [Another scene].

Mahun Hatun: I know you will consider him as your son, Bala Hatun.

Bala Hatun: Why not? He is my son. I will not only take care of him, why you are fighting the infidels, we will be praying for you to be victorious. May your sword be sharp and fast, Mahu Hatun.

Mahun Hatun: Aameen, thank you, Bala Hatun.

Stomach Ulcer Among Medical Students: A Growing Concern

-
Image
Earlier this year, during my clinical posting at Adeoyo Maternity Teaching Hospital in Ibadan, I encountered a surprising finding. A large group of medical students underwent screening for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the bacterium commonly linked to stomach ulcers. To my amazement, over 90% of these students tested positive for H. pylori, indicating that the majority either suffer from or are at high risk of developing stomach ulcers. Knowing that many of my friends also struggle with this condition, I began to wonder: Is the intense academic pressure contributing to the high prevalence of stomach ulcers among medical students?   Why Are Medical Students More Vulnerable? Recent studies suggest that medical students face a higher risk of developing stomach ulcers, with prevalence rates reaching up to 40%. This increased risk is believed to stem from a combination of chronic stress, unhealthy eating habits, and insufficient sleep.   But What Makes...

Sheikh Shrieked Shirk: A Timeless Reminder

-

Among the greatest responsibilities as Muslims is the recognition of Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) and the avoidance of Shirk (associating partners with Him). It is a matter that defines salvation and destruction in the Hereafter. Allah reminds us through the words of the wise Luqman, when he advised his son with powerful and enduring words: يَٰبُنَيَّ لَا تُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّ ٱلشِّرۡكَ لَظُلۡمٌ عَظِيمࣱ “O my son, do not associate anything with Allah. Indeed, association [with Him] is great injustice.” ( Surah Luqman 31:13) Shirk is the gravest injustice because it places created beings at the level of the Creator, and it undermines the very essence of Eemaan (belief). Allah says: إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغۡفِرُ أَن يُشۡرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغۡفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَ...
