HADITH, SAYINGS/TRADITIONS OF MUHAMMAD SAW
Mu`awiyah bin Haidah RA reported: I asked Messenger of Allah (PBUH): "What right can any wife demand of her husband?'' He replied, "You should give her food when you eat, clothe her when you clothe yourself, not strike her on the face, and do not revile her or separate from her except in the house". [Abu Dawud].

Commentary: If it comes to temporarily severing relations with the spouse, it should be done within the house and the best course for it is that one suspends the practice of sleeping with the spouse. But in the case of special circumstances, one can separate by leaving the home.

THE MESSAGE
SPECIAL FOCUS – RABIUL AWWAL
Muhammad SAW AND Orderliness
------------------------------------------
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam taught us about orderliness. Discipline, regulation, management, planning and all other terms relating to organization are mostly understood as alien to Islam. On the contrary, Islam exhorts people to live in orderliness and to put the right thing in the right place. The foundation of Islamic order rests on two main principles:
The crucial faith in one God (Allah);
And, the oneness of humanity.

All the frame works were laid down in the Quran, and the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam applied himself to working out the essential details of that order. read more

BENEFIT: Whoever reads this Dua when wearing new clothes all his past and future sins are forgiven.

PERSONALITY
Abu-d Dardaa RA
------------------
Early in the morning, Abu-d Dardaa RA awoke and went straight to his idol which he kept in the best part of his house. He greeted it and bowed to it. Then he anointed it with the best perfume from his large shop and put on it a new raiment of beautiful silk which a merchant had brought to him the day before from Yemen.

When the sun was high in the sky he left his house for his shop. On that day the streets and alleys of Yathrib were crowded with the followers of Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam returning from Badr. With them were several prisoners of war. Abu-d Dardaa surveyed the crowds and then went up to a Khazraji youth and asked about the fate of Abdullah ibn Rawahah. read more
