Rasoolullah (ﷺ) wore shoes like sandals or slippers. Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore black leather socks and during Wadhu passed his moist hanks over them (made Masah). His shoes had two straps between the toes (Uswah: Mirqaat). There was a strap at the back as well. The Shoes of Rasoolullah (ﷺ) were one span and two fingers long and 7 fingers wide; there was a space of two fingers between the two straps at the toe end (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ)used to wear shoes made of leather that was smooth after the removal of the animal hair, and after wadhu He would place his feet into them because they were pure and made in such a way that his toes would thouch the ground. (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore shoes made of smooth leather. (Mishkaat) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) 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...

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...

"O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the means and t...

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 ﷺ 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...

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...

A key insight into the development of your child:

THIS WAS DELIVERED BY SHAYKH AKRAM NADWI IN A CONFERENCE AT THE AZHAR UNIVERSITY, CAIRO. DEPT OF ISLAMIC PSYCHOLOGY EDUCATION. - The purpose of marriage is to have children and then educate them to worship Allah SWT. - When a child is born, a mother and father are also born. - The personal development of the parents is just as important as that of the child. This point is often overlooked. - Modern education seeks to incorporate people into the economy - to make money. Islamic education seeks to train people to become 'good' individuals, in terms of their character etc. 'Good' meaning to prepare for the Hereafter. - Your children, before they are your children, they are the slaves of Allah. His rights over them precede your rights. - Your duty is to teach them and provide them guidance - not to make them pious. You will be questioned whether you taught them right or not. - Parents need to realise they too are slaves of Allah. His rights over them precede their...

I became aware that my Lord is always watching over me:

 - *Hatim Tai said:* *"I have embraced four core truths and distanced myself from seeking knowledge from the world’s scholars."* *When asked, "What are these four truths?"* *Hatim Tai replied:* *1. "I realized that the sustenance (rizq) written for me is fixed and will neither increase nor decrease. So, I accepted my fate, stopped striving for more, and found contentment in what I have."* *2. "I understood that no one else can fulfill the rights of Allah on my behalf. Therefore, I devoted myself entirely to fulfilling my responsibilities toward Him."* *3. "I acknowledged that one thing is always pursuing me—death. It is inevitable, and I cannot escape it. I made peace with this fact and stopped fearing it."* *4. "I became aware that my Lord is always watching over me. I felt a deep sense of shame before Him and thus refrained from sinning."* *May Allah protect and guide us all.* Source: received through WhatsApp message 

Eid al-Adha Mubarak:
