The leaking bucket will make your deeds empty:

#BEWARE OF THE LEAKING BUCKET!

1. You wear abaya and hijāb but with perfume and makeup. ( a leaking bucket )

2. You're following the Sunnah and have a beard but you don't lower your gaze. (A leaking bucket)

3. You pray all of your prayers on time but you have no khushū at all. (A leaking bucket)

4. You're very kind to people and speak with them gently but with your family you're always harsh. (A leaking bucket)

5. You honour and treat your guests well but when they leave, you gossip about them and talk about their flaws. (A leaking bucket)

6. You give alot of sadaqah to the poor but you humiliate them and hurt them. (A leaking bucket)

7. You stand up for tahajjud at night, fast and reads Qur'ān everyday but you cut your family ties. (A leaking bucket)

8. You fast and have sabr for the pangs of hunger and thirst but you swear, insult, curse. (A leaking bucket)

9. You help others but you're doing it to gain something from them and not doing those acts of kindness for the sake of Allāh's Glory. (A leaking bucket)

10. You post reminders and have thousands of followers on facebook and instagram but you're doing it for the fame, not to please Allah. (A leaking bucket)

🌺Do not gather all your good deeds in a leaking bucket.

You struggle to fill it whilst it easily runs out through the leaking holes!

🌺May Allāh make us do all of good actions for pleasing HIM alone and may HE be pleased with us always.

Ameen. 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

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...

Islamic tradition has long possessed its own highly structured, time-tested system for internal regulation: Muhasabah (spiritual self-auditing):

- "The intelligent person is the one who takes account of himself (subjugates his soul) and works for what comes after death. And the helpless person is the one who follows his desires and then entertains baseless hopes in Allah." (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 2459; Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 4260) In an era dominated by hyper-connectivity and endless external noise, the human mind is rarely granted the space to simply pause. While modern psychology heavily promotes mindfulness as an antidote to this existential fatigue, Islamic tradition has long possessed its own highly structured, time-tested system for internal regulation: Muhasabah (spiritual self-auditing). Far from being a vague, abstract concept, classical Islamic scholars treated self-reflection as an active, daily operational framework—a psychological necessity for purifying the heart and mastering the ego. By exploring the practical models left behind by giants like Imam Al-Ghazali and Ibn al-Qayyim , we uncover a time...

# The Invisible Foundation: How Islamic Scholarship Built the Modern West:

- The history of "Western" knowledge is often told as a straight line from Ancient Greece to the European Renaissance. However, modern scholarship reveals that this narrative has a massive "missing middle." For over five hundred years, the Islamic Golden Age did not just "preserve" ancient knowledge—it revolutionized it, creating the very empirical and logical tools the West uses today. ## 1. Beyond Preservation: The Birth of Experimentation While the Greeks excelled in deductive reasoning (thinking from general principles), Islamic scholars introduced the **inductive, experimental method**. The most prominent figure was **Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen)**. In his *Kitab al-Manazir* (Book of Optics), he rejected the Greek theory that the eye emits light. More importantly, he established that theories must be proven through controlled, repeatable experiments (Piniés, n.d.). This methodological shift is now recognized as the foundational root of the modern scient...

Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen):

*Raising children* Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen). This is really beautiful. Women expecting children would ensure every morsel going into their mouths was halal. Breastfeeding mothers would repeatedly recite Ayah al-Kursi, Surah al-Falaq, Surah al-Nas and du'as of protection over their babies. When a child first began to speak it would be taught to say: رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبّاً، وبِالإِسْلامِ دِيناً، و بسيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَبِيَّاً ورَسُولاً ‘I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with our Master Muhammad ﷺ as my Prophet and Messenger.’ Parents would teach their children the importance of making good intentions and what intentions to make just as they would teach them how to recite Surat al-Fatiha. Parents would teach their children to call upon Allah in every situation. If a child asked for something, his parents would tell him to perform wudu, pray two rak'ats and then ask Allah to fulfil his...

15 Things About The Character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Every Muslim Must Spread:

🌸15 Things About The Character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Every Muslim Must Spread: If there is any personality that has lived on the face of this earth who was complete in every regard and the life of whom can serve as a beacon of guidance for people of every walk of life, that personality would undeniably be the personality of Muhammad (PBUH). Muslims follow Him because of Him being the Prophet as their religion and those who do not follow Islam also hold Him at a higher pedestal when it comes to human character. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Saudi Arabia in the city of Makkah about 1400 years ago. Since then the world has not seen the likes of Him in every regard and the study of human history shows that there have been none better than Him before Him as well. The key factor that brings reverence and respect to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in both the Islamic and the non-Islamic circles is His character. He was the best in character and He also said about in one of His hadith...

Islam and Covid-19 precautions:

*Islam & Today's Precautions of Covid-19* Islam asked us to wash hands before and after eating food, ordered to remain clean by abluting five times a day, prescribed to wed with simplicity, stopped us to visit markets unnecessarily, abstained us from foul spending, advised us to cover up mouth while sneezing, and to take care of the poor. Islam also barred us from leaving our city during plague. In fact, all the activities that are now being done during the wide spread of Covid-19 have already been taught to us by Islam which makes a society healthy and progressive. It is now time for every Muslim to tell the world that these etiquette were already taught to us by our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ 1400 years ago. Source: recived through WhatsApp message

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. He used to take it to his lessons, until the parrot knew how to say "La ilaha illa Allah", and would utter it day and night. One day the students found their Sheikh crying and sobbing. When they asked him the reason, he told them that a cat attacked the parrot and killed it. They said: "Is this the reason you are crying?"... If you wish we will bring you another parrot better than that one. The Sheikh said: I am not crying because of this... But it made me cry when the cat attacked the parrot. It was shouting and screaming until it died. He used to say la ilaha illa Allah a lot. However, when he was attacked by a cat he forgot to say it. He did nothing but scream...

It seems that every day the west is discovering that Halal / Islamic Sharia has benefits:

Author unknown but needs reflection.... *French/ Hijab/ Niqab and Coronavirus* 😀 *French newspapers have announced that Muslim women who wear the Niqab* (full face covering) *have no fear of contacting the Coronavirus* since they do not shake hands or kiss other people and have their face covered. *It seems that every day the west is discovering that Halal / Islamic Sharia has benefits*. However I am holding my breath for French women to start wearing Hijab let alone the Niqab. Aussies are panic buying toilet tissue rolls as well as other commodities. *However some are now using water to wash* (instead of wiping with tissue). Water which is more hygienic, cleaner and refreshing. *Another Sharia requirement*. *Early Muslims in a village in Arabia had the plague* and it was mentioned to them by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that they had to stay in their village until the disease is conquered. *That was 1400 years ago*, now modern countries are applying the same Shariah ru...

A dua from a parent to their children:

Let us all pray for our children with this long dua. A POWERFUL DU'A FOR CHILDREN! In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful! All praises are for Allah SWT, the most Compassionate, the most Forgiving. Salutations and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad SAW, his family and companions. Oh Allah, I submit myself to You. I realise that parenting a child is a very difficult task and I turn to You in humility for Your help. I implore You for Your wisdom and guidance. Oh Allah, I know that our children are an amaanat from You, to care for and to raise in a manner that is pleasing to You. Help me do that in the best way. Teach me how to love in a way that You would have me love. Help me where I need to be healed, improved, nurtured, and made whole. Help me walk in righteousness and integrity so that You may always be pleased with me. Allow me to be a God-fearing role model with all the communication, teaching, and nurturing skills that I may need. Oh Allah, You know ...

Kind Teacher...
