During this difficult time, remember this famous story of Musa (AS):

"We are living and experiencing a time when truth is cast as falsehood, and lies are presented as truth. We live in societies where we are having to face some serious challenges in both our internal conscience and the environment around us. During this difficult time, and as ‘Ashuraa is upon us, I am reminded of the famous story of Musa (AS).

Allah (ﷻ) reminds us of a man who faced the greatest of tyrants, the harshest of conditions, and the most oppressive of regimes. Despite these extreme circumstance he was resilient, he did not give up, nor did he lose hope. He knew with certainty, the same way Allah (ﷻ) had guided him through everything else he faced in life, He would continue to pave a path for him.

In the Qur’an Allah (ﷻ) describes the scene:
And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Musa said, “Indeed, we are to be overtaken!” [Musa] said, “No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me.” Then We inspired to Musa, “Strike with your staff the sea,” and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain. And We advanced thereto the pursuers. And We saved Musa and those with him, all together. Then We drowned the others. Indeed in that is a sign [ayah], but most of them were not to be believers. And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. [26:61-68]

Sometimes you may feel like the world is against you. Much like Musa, who had the sea in front of him and the enemy closing in from behind him. At that time be like Musa, and not like the Children of Israel who, in a time of such difficulty, lost hope. Know that Allah (ﷻ) is with you and He (ﷻ) has the power to save you from anything. And when He (ﷻ) does, remember that it was a miraculous sign from Him (ﷻ) and that He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

O Allah, as you saved and gave victory to Musa (AS) over Firoun, save and give victory to the oppressed, ameen."

Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action:

 - *The Perils of Pampering: Raising Disciplined, God-Conscious Children*   In a world that glorifies instant gratification, indulgence, and materialism, we risk raising a generation that lacks resilience, respect, and responsibility. The saying, *"A pampered child becomes a spoiled adult,"* holds profound truth. If we fail to discipline our children today, we may find ourselves helplessly watching them struggle tomorrow or worse, witnessing them turn into entitled, inconsiderate adults.   *Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action*. It is the framework that shapes a child’s character, teaching them that life does not always bend to their will. If we refuse to instill these values at home, the world will teach them often in ways we would never approve of.   Islam places immense emphasis on disciplined upbringing. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:   > *"Command your children to pray at the age of seven, and discipline them for it at t...

Can women perform salah at musjid and attend Eid salah:

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh   Respected Brothers and Sisters in Islam   There is a trend starting in various places to have Family Eidgaahs and women are being encouraged to attend the Eid Salaah.     Those that encourage women to go to the Musjid and to attend the Eid Salaah, generally do so based on the narrations stating that in the time of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, women used to attend the congregational prayer in the Musjid and the Eid Prayer as well.    In this regard, it is important to take note of the following:   Women in the time of the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) were not prevented from going to the Musjid. This was primarily due to the fact that they had the unique opportunity of praying behind the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) Himself. That was an act that cannot be paralleled today. Secondly, they used to observe all the requirements of Shariah including tho...

Duwa for parents:

- *DUWA FOR PARENTS* ❝The one who prays for his parents after every salah will be considered an obedient child on the day of judgment.❞ — Sufyan al-Thawri (R.A) Shaikh Uthaimeen (raḥimahullāh) said: ❝Your supplications for your parent in your salah of Taraweeh or Tahajjud is better than slaughtering ten (10) camels as sadaqah on his behalf.❞ [Liqaa Al-Bab Al-Maftooh - 115] Sh. ʿAbdur-Razzāq al-Badr Hafiẓahullāh said: “From the GREATEST forms of kindness towards parents (Birr al-Wālidayn) is to make DŪʿĀ for (Allāh's) Mercy and Forgiveness upon them — be they alive or dead — with the condition that they are or were Muslims..” ● [فقه الأدعية والأذكار ٢/٢٤٠] ✒ Make Duʿā For Your Parents Prophet Muḥammad (Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam) said: إن الرجل لترفع درجته في الجنة فيقول : أنى لي هذا ؟ فيقال : باستغفار ولدك لك “Indeed a man's status is raised in Jannah and he asks: ‘Where did I get this from?’, so it is said to him: ‘By your child seeking forgiveness (of Allāh) for you’.” ● [م...
