Fellow Muslims! Fear Allâh as He should be feared and be conscious of Him in private and public. Worship Him as if you see Him, and even though you do not see Him, He sees you.

“And put your trust in All-mighty, the Most Merciful, Who sees you when you stand up (alone at night for prayers) and your movements among those who fall prostrate. Verily, He, only is the All hearer, the All knower.”

Brethren in faith! There are lessons in the passage of days and nights, and the days move quickly like clouds. The people shall continue moving until they finally end in Paradise or Hell. Also, the speed by which days and nights move now confirms the meaning of closeness of times one to another which is one of the signs of the Hour as the Prophet has informed us. This is therefore, a great opportunity for the wise people to awaken, do good deeds and have sincere repentance.

Allâh says, “It is He who has put the night and the day in succession for such who desires to remember or desires to show his gratitude.” (Al Furqân 25:62).

Muslims have recently spent a whole month enjoying the blessings of their Lord between supplications, prayers, and remembrance of Allâh, alms giving and recitation of the Qurân. But, alas, these days and their memories passed so quickly as if they were autumn leaves blown by a strong wind. read more

Being presented with a Gift and when someone makes a Dua for one
It is reported of Sayyadatina Aisha RA that she said: A small goat was presented to the Messenger of Allah, he said: "Divide it out," then whenever the servant would return Sayyadatina Aisha RA would say: What did they say? She would say: They said: May Allah bestow blessings in you ( Bãraka 'allãhu feekum then Sayyadatina Aisha RA would say: And in them may Allah bestow blessings ( wa feehim bãraka 'allãhu we return upon them the same as what they said, and our reward remains for us.

THE "COSTS" OF A CHILD
-------------------------
It was recently calculated that the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 amounted to R160 140 for a middle income family. Talk about shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition! But R160 140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into R8 896,66 a year, R741,38 a month, or R185,34 a week. That's a mere R26,48 a day! Just over a Rand an hour.  Still, you might think the best financial advice says don't have children if you want to be "rich." It is just the opposite.

A BRIGHT IDEA
---------------
Two good old boys were trying to get a stubborn mule into a barn. The mule's ears touched the top of the small barn door, and he wouldn't proceed any further.

One of the boys came up with a bright idea. "Why don't we cut two holes in the barn above the door for the ears to go through?" So they proceeded to do this.

A city man was driving by and noticed the spectacle. So he asked what they were doing. They told him they were cutting holes in the barn so the mule could go through the door. He asked, "Why don't you simply take a shovel and dig a small trench in the ground?"

One good old boy looked at the other and said, "Isn't that just like a city slicker." Then he yelled, "It's his ears that are too big, not his legs!"
