THE FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON)
CONJUGAL KINDNESS
by Muhammad As-Subayyil (Imam of Haram)
----------------------------------------------

Allâh reminds us of His blessings and explains to us His signs that indicate His favours and kindness. He says,

“And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.” (Ar-Rûm 30:21)

In this above verse, Allâh calls our attention to a great blessing that He has endowed us with. This blessing is the relationship between man and woman by which isolation is removed, happiness is achieved and peace and tranquility are attained in the life of this world. One should therefore, take care of this blessing and not become a cause for its destruction.

Allâh created His servants with different ability to manage the affairs of their lives and in the ways of achieving happiness in this life and the Hereafter. It is because of this difference that He made some of His servants leaders and others subjects. He chose for them leaders to manage their affairs. He made man the manager of his household and the woman the caretaker of the house of her husband. For the home is the pillar of life, the foundation of its happiness, tranquility and stability. The home cannot stand firm unless the man performs his obligations, takes care of his family and treats them kindly. The same applies to the wife. read more

NEWS

Egyptian officials have warned that the border with the Gaza Strip could soon be sealed. The border was forced open by fighters after Apartheid Israel imposed a punishing blockade on the Gaza strip and initially backed by Egypt.

US defence secretary Robert Gates, says the United Stares is prepared and ready to send troops to Pakistan. He also made it clear that his country is open to providing more direct assistance.

Former United Nations chief Kofi Annan is set to call for more dialogue between Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader, Raila Odinga. This is in an attempt to end the political crisis that began after elections last month.

The country yesterday experienced its worst day of blackouts or load shedding due to persistent rainfall which reduced production capacity of power stations. Eskom's Andrew Etzinger says their systems were extremely tight and they had to cut about 4 000 Megawatts of electricity across the country.

Fee State residents might be forced to contend with water restrictions after load shedding. This is as the water department is completely dependent on the local electricity supplier Eskom and Centlec.

COOKING TIP

Methi pre-prepare for future use

If you are a fan of fresh methi (fenugreek leaves) then on a weekend you can clean them up and place the methi in a freezer ziploc bag and freeze it. It can be stored for months.

You can use this to make a quick methi aloo accompanied with some sweet raita at time of emergency.
