JOB OVER HOME
In the Name of Allāh. Today, some husbands have wrongly placed their jobs over their families. But, no woman wants a husband who is married to his job. Should such husbands terminate their jobs to make their marriages work? Some wives wouldn’t mind paying their husbands to ordinarily smile at them when at home because […]
A CLOSE WATCH AT
In the Name of Allāh. It’s indeed part of righteousness and resourcefulness to teach our children “Home Management” particularly thru (our) good conducts because they diametrically learn from us. Let the children see that we give respect, love, care and attention to each other. They will thus switch on planning on how to correspondingly manage […]
THAT WHICH PROFIT
In the Name of Allāh. I once read a quote somewhere – so inspiring! It says: “If walls have ears, angels too have a pen.” What do people say when talking unnecessarily? What man utters (with his tongue) is either advantageous to him and others or destroying. Note, unnecessary speech is most times harmful. As […]
QUALITY OF ADVICE
In the Name of Allāh. From the excellent features of the true Muslims is giving Naseehah (advice, i.e. enjoining good and forbidding evil) to one another, whether requested or not. Nothing makes them possess this great quality except that they follow the veracious path of our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) as there are many narrations from […]
WITH HUMILITY AND GENTILITY
In the Name of Allāh. A great test of a truly noble man is his humility, and the Ibad-ur-Rahman are truly noble, as Allāh provides a glimpse of their awesome characteristics, with specific mention of humility and gentility. Allāh says (in Surah Al-Furqan [25] verses 63-65): “And the Ibad-ur-Rahman (Slaves of the Most Beneficent [Allāh]) […]
A TYRANT TO HIS WIFE
In the Name of Allāh. By Allāh, some men are tyrannical masters in their homes. They ill-treat their wives like slaves and the house consequently becomes unbearably hot for living. What is wrong with such men? This is not part of the qualities of the pious men. In fact, Allāh forbids that as He says […]
TO BE SUCCESSFUL
In the Name of Allah. Among the qualities that a Muslim should bag is patience in the face of harm (i.e. enduring what one dislikes) with a sense of acceptance and submission, just for the Sake of Allah. This is indeed one of the things that lead to success. Certainly, impatience over calamity is itself […]
AT THE FACE OF ANGER
In the Name of Allah. Anger is an emotion in man that is always stimulated by Shaytan. It often leads to regrettable consequences and unhappiness as well as affects one’s faith. Controlling one’s anger is a sign of goodness, a sign of strength and it earns the Pleasure of Allah. Therefore, one should be circumspect […]
KNOW YOUR LIMIT!
In the Name of Allah. It’s so sad that some of us have assumed the position of a scholar because of some little things we presently know about the Deen. Someone who’s just attending Madrasah thinks he’s capable of passing verdicts and commenting on religious issues. Even real scholars don’t know it all. That’s one […]
WHO ARE THE BEST?
O, husbands! Never be emotionally, mentally, or physically cruel to your wives. The Prophet (ﷺ) never mistreated his wives. He (ﷺ) was also known to help his wives at the house. Our mother, A’ishah (RadiyaLlahu ‘Anha) was asked, as recorded in Sahih Al-Bukhari: “What did the Prophet (ﷺ) use to do in his house?” She […]
