Muslim Women at home are doing a wonderful job:

Women and household work !
🌶🍅🌶🍅🌶🍅🌶🍅🌶🍅

To all of my believing sisters out there who feel “ being stuck at home “ with child rearing and cooking and cleaning day in and day out .... who feel their productivity and creativity is withering away , who feel there is a lot to do out there like going for hifz classes , attending lectures , volunteering for dawah activities and other ways by which they can gain Allah subhaanahu wa taala s pleasure ....
Do you feel there is less opportunities at home for acquiring great rewards ?

Then let me remind you of 2 great women of Paradise ...
Khadijah and Fatimah , may Allah be pleased with them both ...

Khadija , (R) was not a scholar of Hadith like , Aisha (R) ... she has not related a single Hadith, nor has she participated in any battle of Islam ...
Then what are her achievements , of course being the first convert is the best of them .... which is obviously beyond our reach , but is it only that ?
No ... her role as devoted wife and mother of seven children and a pillar of support for her husband in good times and bad , are also priceless achievements , her willingness to serve her husband at all times ... her toil and fatigue ...

A Hadith states that once as she was coming with food and drink for the Prophet SAW  when he was in Cave Hira, Angel Jibreel descended with the greeting of Salam from Allah for her and brought glad tidings of a house in Paradise built of Pearl where there will be no more noise or fatigue !

Fatimah Bint Muhammad (R) :
Wasn’t it her struggles as a wife and homemaker which made her the leader of women In Paradise ?
Or have we heard of extraordinary reports about her contributions to deen ?
No ....
It was her simple life , doing household chores taking care of husband and children and lots of hard work which had bruised her hands ... so much that when she asked for a maid , what did her beloved father say : Rather , my dear , recite 33 times each before sleeping SubhaanAllah , Alhamdulilah , Allahu Akbar , that will relieve you and lighten your burden ....

(Uswah) Rasoolullah (ï·º) also wore shoes made of smooth leather. (Mishkaat) Rasoolullah (ï·º) would would grip his shoes with his left thumb and index finger. (Shamaail Tirmidhi) Hazrat Anas (Radiallahhu’ anhu) narrates that from the sunnah is that one should remove his shoes and place them to the left side when sitting. (Mishkaat) Sourc...

Quran Juz 14 – Rubama - Summary:

Quran Juz 14 – Rubama Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • Surah Hijr: This Juz starts with Surah Hijr (the chapter’s first verse is in Juz 13 though), which talks about the people living in the Valley of Hijr (Hegra) i.e. the Tribe of Thamud.  • This brief chapter is uniquely themed at the foundational principles of Islam: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah), Risalah (messengership), and the Hereafter. • Allah tells Prophet Muhammed ï·º that though the disbelievers do not wish to accept Islam, a time will come when they wish they should have accepted it. • As per a hadith, this will happen when they’ll see some Muslims too in Hell, undergoing a punishment. The disbelievers who knew them in life one earth will then taunt them and say that they were Muslims and how come they are in Hell. • However, at the completion of the Muslims’ punishment tenure, Allah will place them in the Heaven. Seeing it, the disbelievers will wish that they should have accepte...

Islam is overall a religion of perseverance and tolerance. In short a religion of patience:

-  July 29 2021 (The original speech was in urdu, after that it is translated into English text by Mohsin sir) Surah Al kahf. Meaning of patience explained:  *By famous scholar of Islam Ibn Ul Qayyim in his book "Patience and Gratitude."*  "It means stronger common sense and religious motives."  *Patience has a different role in different aspects.*  * When controlling sexual desires it's called honor (waqaar). *When restraining greed it's self control(tahammul) *When used in anger management it's forbearance (bardaashth). *When refraining from haste and hurry it's gracefulness (Shaistaa). *When refraining from running away it's courage (bahaduri). *When avoiding revenge/retaliation it's forgiveness (Maafi). *When refraining from stinginess (kanjoosi) it's generosity (Sakhawath).

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 (ï·º) said:   > *"Command your children to pray at the age of seven, and discipline them for it at t...

The moment we realize that everything happens by the will of Allaah, all our worries begin to fade away:

 - (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...

Before the Sadaqa reaches the one who needs it, it reaches the hands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’alah first:

 - *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...

Eid Mubarak: Beyond the Festivities, Towards a Lifetime of Reflection:

 - ##  Eid Mubarak to you and your loved ones! As the crescent moon graces the sky, marking the end of Ramadan, we are filled with joy, gratitude, and a sense of spiritual renewal. The month of fasting, prayer, and reflection has drawn to a close, leaving behind a beautiful tapestry of shared experiences and strengthened faith. This Eid, as we gather with family and friends, exchanging warm greetings and savoring delicious treats, let's also take a moment to reflect on the profound lessons Ramadan has imparted. We've nurtured patience, empathy, and a deeper connection with our spiritual selves. We've learned the power of self-discipline and the beauty of giving. However, the true essence of Ramadan lies not just in the month itself, but in the lasting impact it has on our lives. The spirit of generosity, the commitment to prayer, the dedication to self-improvement – these are not fleeting practices to be abandoned once Eid arrives. This Eid, let's make a conscious effor...
