 - (external source) 🌷 *Whatever Allaah does......it's for our best*🌷 When my daughter was 2 years old, she loved to play with the water in the toilet bowl.  Yes, that's right.... *the toilet bowl!!* Yuck!!  That's nasty...you would say!!  But to *her*, that was the *delight of the day!*  Splish...splash!  To her innocent mind, there was nothing like it!  And so when I would prevent her from playing with it, she would scream and cry and wouldn't want to stop.  She didn't understand how harmful that was for her.  In her little brain, I took away something that she really enjoyed.   And when I would take her to the doctor to have her immunization shots, she wouldn't understand that either.  She would *howl* at the top of her lungs at the first sight of the needle and would run the other way.  It would take two of us just to hold her down!  To her, it was nothing but *torture*!  Her innocent little mind...

 - Eid al-Adha  teaches us lessons of devotion and sacrifice. The obedience to Allah, the sacrifice, and the selfless loyalty of  Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him, and Prophet Ismail (Ishmael), peace be upon him,  were so beloved by Allah, the Lord of all creation, that He decreed them to be observed by believers until the Day of Judgment. On this blessed and joyous occasion of Eid al-Adha, with reliance on the Almighty Allah and adherence to the teachings of His Prophets, and with prayers for the establishment of unity and solidarity worldwide,  this humble servant extends Eid al-Adha greetings to you and your family.

 - *A true story* Let me tell you a story about a teacher This teacher was trying to collect money from other teachers to furnish the Musallah (prayer room) of the school and fix an AC unit. She said: I never gave up; I used to talk to the teachers every day and remind them of the great reward of this deed. I was collecting bit by bit hoping to reach the needed target, it took me almost a month. One day one of my colleagues said: Enough, you are really disturbing us! You keep asking all the time. I said: WAllahi it’s a great cause and it is the path to Jannah in shaa Allah, give anything even if it’s one Riyal. She said if I give you a Riyal would you leave us alone. I answered: Yes, in shaa Allah. She then took a Riyal from her handbag and threw it at me! The teacher who was collecting the money says: I completed collection from my family and friends and Alhamdulilah I managed to collect what I thought would be enough to furnish the Musallah and buy the AC unit. Then she says: WAl...

 - احتیاط کریں کہ آپ اپنے گھر میں ایک معذور یا نافرمان فرد نہ پیدا کریں۔ اس بات سے ہوشیار رہیں کہ آپ (بےخبری میں) ایسا کرنے کی اجازت دے رہے ہوں۔  آخر تک توجہ دیں: ❌ وہ اپنے کپڑے بدل کر انہیں کمرے کے کسی بھی کونے میں پھینک دیتا ہے، پھر ماں آتی ہے اور انہیں اٹھا کر دھوتی، سکھاتی اور استری کرتی ہے؟  خبردار! اپنے بیٹے کو یہ خود کرنے کی عادت ڈالیں۔ ❌ وہ صبح اٹھتا ہے اور اپنا بستر بغیر ترتیب دیے اور صاف کیے چھوڑ دیتا ہے، پھر ماں آکر یہ سب کچھ کرتی ہے۔ ❌ کھانا تیار ملتا ہے، جو ماں نے محبت اور تحفظ سے بنایا ہوتا ہے، اور بعد میں وہ چائے کا کپ تک دھونے کی زحمت نہیں کرتا، کیونکہ اسے یقین ہے کہ ماں یہ بھی کر دے گی! ❌ وہ اسکول چلا جاتا ہے بغیر یہ جانے کہ اس کے ہوم ورک کیا ہیں، یا انہیں مکمل کیا ہے یا نہیں، کیونکہ گھر پر وہ سارا وقت سوشل میڈیا جیسے واٹس ایپ، فیس بک، اسنیپ چیٹ، انسٹاگرام وغیرہ پر مصروف رہتا ہے، اور ماں باپ دونوں خاموش رہتے ہیں۔ ❌ وہ سارا دن اپنے کمرے میں خود میں مگن رہتا ہے، گھر والوں کے ساتھ میل جول نہیں رکھتا، اور اگر رکھتا بھی ہے تو موبائل ہاتھ سے نہیں چھوڑتا، صرف ای...

Here are the words to the Azan: # Azan 1. *Allahu Akbar* (4 times): Allah is the greatest. 2. *Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah* (2 times): I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah. 3. *Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah* (2 times): I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 4. *Hayya 'ala al-salah* (2 times): Come to prayer. 5. *Hayya 'ala al-falah* (2 times): Come to success. 6. *Qad qamat al-salah* (2 times): Prayer has begun. 7. *Allahu Akbar* (1 time): Allah is the greatest. # Du'a after Azan After the Azan, it is recommended to recite the following Du'a: "Alahumma rabba hadhihi ad-da'wat al-tammah, wa al-salat al-qaimah, ati Muhammadan al-wasilata wa al-fadhilata, wa ab'athu maqamam mahmudan aladhi wa'adtahu, innaka la tukhlif al-mi'ad." "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the means and t...

The month of fasting, prayer, and reflection has drawn to a close, leaving behind a beautiful tapestry of shared experiences and strengthened faith.
