Respecting mother: When Muhammad B. Sīrīn (r) would speak to his mother, he wouldn't use his complete tongue to pronounce words out of fear that he would be violating her esteem. Today, some of us may even damage our vocal cords to speak our minds with our mothers, especially if they disagree!

If you make the claim that you are serving for the sake of Allah, expect Allah to constantly test you in that claim. Expect ingratitude from the people you hope to benefit. Expect people constantly questioning your intentions and work. Expect that keyboard warriors will wage war on you. Expect feeling lonely amongst your peers. That’s all part of the package. This doesn’t justify the bad behavior of others, but makes you independent of their behavior as a whole. The most honorable work in the world is that done sincerely for Allah , but that honor should be sought only from Him. This life, along with all of it’s hardships caused by the people you will encounter in it, is temporary. The next life, along with all of it’s reward for the righteous and the praise of the Most High, is eternal. Source: recieved in WhatsApp.

- Spending time with your child  is better than spending money on your child.  - As a parent set times when you will check email and messages, and stick to them. Force yourself to keep work and family separate, and don’t let work-based stress overflow into family time. - Adults need to wake up and realize that modern computer violence with violent games are seriously nasty, and because children don’t experience any real pain whilst playing they become desensitized to violence. There is also evidence that it encourages aggressive, violent behavior and creates negative attitudes towards women. - Given that children learn by imitation, they will quickly begin mimicking what they hear and see. - Challenge your children to not touch their gadgets except for a specific amount of time and see to it that they use their time efficiently, thereby rewarding them with prizes! - As parents, we can definitely take steps to change this situation.  Will it be hard? Yes. Is it impossible? No.

Abu Juhayfa Wahb ibn ‘Abdullah said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘I do not eat reclining.'”  al-Bukhari If eating with your hand, use three fingers with small bites, lifting it gently with ease to your mouth. Close your mouth while eating to avoid unnecessary noises. To eat on the floor is nearer to what the Prophet used to do. food on a sufra on the ground—for this is closest to what the The Messenger of Allah may Allah bless him and grant him peace did—rather than to place it on a raised table. ‘When food was brought to The Messenger of Allah (may God bless him and grant him peace), he would place it on the ground,’ for this is closer to humility. Thus, ‘The Messenger of Allah may Allah bless him and grant him peace used often to squat down on his knees and sit on his heels for the meal. At other times he would raise his right leg and sit on his left.’ He used to say: ‘I do not eat when reclining... for I am but a slave; I eat as a

The effect of fear on one's heart- Isn't it strange that fear for a force/person other than Allah SWT creates a feeling of resentment/ hatred for that person/ force while on the other side fear for Allah SWT deepens the love for Him, makes you think over twice before you do something and keeps you focused.

November 9 is the birth anniversary of poet-philosopher and Hakimul Ummat Sir Mohammad Allama Iqbal (1877--1938). Kind teacher has presented interesting incidents from Allama's life as part of tribute to the great man whose poetry has inspired generations. Here is the first in the series: Though Iqbal's creative output was huge, he was never a rich man. His poor financial condition compelled Sir Syed's grandson and Iqbal's great friend Sir Ross Masood to intervene. In 1935 Ross Masood got a lifetime monthly scholarship of Rs 500 issued to Iqbal from Nawab of Bhopal. Ross Masood wanted similar help from nawabs of Hyderabad, Bhawalpur and Sir Agha Khan. But Iqbal wrote to Ross Masood that whatever he received from Nawab of Bhopal was enough to meet his expenses as he was not used to live like a royal. It was unbecoming of a Muslim to have lust for money, Iqbal added. In January 1938 when Iqbal was seriously ill he received a cheque of Rs1000 from the Hyderabad state but

🌹This is a beautiful message that I'd love to share with you! I don't know the author but it's a voice of my heart! Be so close to the Qur’an that with every turn of its page, your heart also turns. You undergo a change of character; and come out better. You come closer to Allah and you understand your religion more. Be so close to the Qur’an that not only do you consider it to be your companion in life, but it also considers *you* to be its companion both here and on Yawm al-Qiyamah (Day of Resurrection). Be so close to the Qur’an that whenever you open to read it, it draws you in deeply and takes you on amazing journeys through power concepts and thought-provoking dialogue, through history and the undisputed facts of the future and Hereafter; learning life lessons and learning about yourself. The journey doesn’t end until you end it (by closing the Book). Be so close to the Qur’an that you make it your first point of judgement and guidance when you quarrel or fall o
