Every time you go to such fancy marriage, you are okaying their lavish spending in marriage:

*Is it not the time to stop attending big fat & fancy marriage parties?*

It was such a big pleasure to read about marriages happening during covid with minimal set of people attending it. No rituals, no traditions, no extravaganza spending and zero showoff. It was dream come true for the people like us supporting and working to ease marriages in our Muslim society.

But our good dreams were short lived. We hear of fancy & lavish marriages, even though corona has not left us yet. Didn't our people learn their lessons yet?

*The business around marriages seems to have come back, woe to our people who failed to learn lessons from corona which was such a big Message from Allah swt. Do we need more punishments from Allah swt to return back to the Sunnah? Look around the number of marriage halls in the city have increased many folds... these are not making marriages easy but have made marriages a thriving and lucrative business!*

All the mess, traditions, cultures, expenditure, show off, business and the fantasies around a marriage in our society can easily be stopped. Do you know how? Yes you and me can stop this... curious to know how? Please stop going to these marriages. It's simple. Boycott marriages being held in big halls, in the high grounds... what kind of marriage will it be? Look the kind of hall that has been booked.. this will say it all!

*Like any TV show which gets no TRP is finally removed from telecast, the day you and me stop from going and being spectator/viewer to these marriage shows... the fancy marriages will fade away. Mark it we promote them, by going and attending them.*

Remember, show off marriages tend to set a standard in public. While the rich exhibit their power through marriages, we fall for the temptation to attend the big gathering, watch the exhibition and have a fun time!

Everything you see in marriages these days is a loot by thriving commercial businesses, an exhibition of show off, power show, fancy partying and far from Sunnah.

*Do you really need hundreds and hundreds of people to be invited & fed to get married? And what is our intention to go to such a marriage? Is it the poor quality but tasty commercial food and enjoyment? Do you want to be in a place where Islam is being disobeyed openly? Is it enough to tell its not my business and turn a blind eye to the chaos? Will we be left out of questioning, of what did I do to stop the wrong? Think!*

We the believers, are the people of Amr-bil Maruf wa Nahya Anil Munkar. We are supposed to encourage people to do what is good. And forbid evil by discouraging people from doing what is wrong.

*“Let there be a community among you who will invite (others) to all that is good, enjoin the good (Ma’ruf), and forbid the evil (Munkar), and it is they who shall succeed”*

Quran Chapter 3 Verse 104

It's high time, the reader of this message decides to boycott fancy marriages happening in our society. Help us to bring back simple marriages, so that lakhs of brothers and sisters who are looking for marriages can look for marrying with ease, with little money, no credit, without having to worry about inviting big crowds.

*Remember, every time you go to such fancy marriage, you are okaying their lavish spending in marriage, and by not going you are expressing your displeasure towards it.*

*Take an oath to boycott big fat weddings... yes we can stop this nonsense and not give it to the next generation in the name of traditions and culture.*

A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly:

- Be honest with yourself for a moment… When you see a child struggling… angry… insecure… constantly seeking attention… do you ever stop and ask, what did they grow up around? Who was present… and who wasn’t? Who listened… and who dismissed? Who loved… and who controlled? The Prophet ﷺ didn’t just speak about worship… he spoke about responsibility. كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ Each of you is responsible… and each of you will be questioned. And Allah didn’t say fix the world. He said protect your families. قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا This is where it begins. A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly… in the way they start doubting themselves… in the way they stop feeling safe… in the way they look for love in the wrong places. So ask yourself… What is your home producing? Because one day… your child will become someone’s spouse… someone’s parent… someone who shapes the world. And whatever you planted… will not stay inside your home. Source...

Prophet Muhammed ﷺ – The Best Father Ever..

- *Prophet Muhammed ﷺ – The Best Father Ever* Prophet Muhammed ﷺ was a perfect father and a unique grandfather. He was unique in every way. He treated his children and grandchildren with great compassion, and always directed them towards goodness and hereafter. He smiled at his children, loved them, but did not allow them to neglect matters related to the afterlife. In worldly matters he was extremely open, but when it came to maintaining their relationship with God, he was dignifiedly serious. He showed his children how to lead a humane life, and never allowed them to get spoiled. It is narrated in Muslim by Hadrat Anas bin Malik (ra), who served Prophet Muhammed ﷺ for ten continuous years, as saying: “I have never seen a man who was more compassionate to his family members than Prophet Muhammed ﷺ.” All of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ sons passed away in infancy – so was Hazrat Ibraheem (ra), his son through Sayyida Maria (ra). When Hazrat Ibraheem passed away, the prophet took in ...

Its all about connection of heart:

There was a Sheikh who was teaching his students Aqeedah (Faith), He taught them 'La ilaha illa Allah' and explained it's meaning to them. The Sheikh loved keeping pets, so he was given a parrot by one of the students as a gift. And with days the Sheikh started to like the parrot.

The Doctor, Medicine and Muslims past 1000 years:

- Muslim science par excellence was the study of medicine. Interest in medicine goes back to the very earliest times. The Prophet himself stated that there was a remedy for every illness, and was aware that some diseases were contagious. The great contribution of the Arabs was to put the study of medicine on a scientific footing and eliminate superstition and harmful folk-practices. Medicine was considered a highly technical calling, and one which required long study and training. Elaborate codes were formulated to regulate the professional conduct of doctors. It was not enough to have a mastery of one’s subject in order to practice medicine. Certain moral qualities were mandatory. Ibn Hazm said that a doctor should be kind, understanding, friendly, good, able to endure insults and adverse criticism; he must keep his hair short, and his fingernails as well; he must wear clean, white clothes and behave with dignity. Before doctors could practice, they had to...
