Al-Bara' bin `Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying: "A mother's sister is equivalent to (real) mother (in status)". [At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary: This Hadith tells us that one should be as respectful to one's aunt (mother's real sister) as one is to mother, as it is a virtue as well as "a form of maintaining the ties of kinship".

Worlds and find solace
In love uncharted, yet within
The uncounted days
You count them like coins
In a jar, counting as if
The coins be hardened
Like mountains of Qaf.

Torment not the heart when
You wonder why I never
Called when contemplating
You shudder at the thought of
Never belonging to one safe I,
Yet you crave understanding, you

Crave belonging yet you
Spike your words with
Much disdain hoping much
That I would smile and bring
You in, like a vagrant in need
Of shade.

Torment not what you do not know,
And splice not the heart
That has surrendered itself to one.

WEEKEND BLUES
-----------------
A man left work Friday afternoon, but, instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend, hunting with the boys and spending his pay cheque without telling his wife.

When he appeared at home, Sunday night, he was confronted by his very angry spouse, who barraged him for two hours with a tirade of yelling.

Finally, she stopped the nagging and simply said to him, "How would you like it if you didn't see me for two or three days?"

To which he replied, "That would be fine with me." So, Monday went by and he didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results.

On Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.
