HADITH/SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD
SALLALLAHU ALYHI WA SALLAM

THE BLESSED MONTH OF RAMADHAAN
---------------------------------------

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi wa Sallam said, "Allah the Exalted and Majestic said: `Every act of the son of Adam is for him, except As-Siyam (the fasting) which is (exclusively) for Me, and I will reward him for it.' Fasting is a shield. When anyone of you is observing fast, he should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise his voice; and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him, he should say: `I am fasting.' By Him in Whose Hand the soul of Muhammad is, the breath of one observing Saum is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk. The one who fasts, experiences two joys: he feels pleasure when he breaks the fast. He is joyful by virtue of his fast when he meets his Rubb.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

In a narration by Al-Bukhari, the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi wa Sallam said, "Allah says: `(The person observing Saum) has abstained from food and drink, and sexual pleasures for My sake; fasting is for Me, and I will bestow its reward. Every good deed has ten times its reward'.''

In a narration by Muslim, the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi wa Sallam said, "The reward of every (good) deed of a person is multiplied from ten to seven hundred times. Allah (SWT) says: `The reward of observing Saum is different from the reward of other good deeds; Saum is for Me, and I Alone will give its reward. The person observing Saum abstains from food and drink only for My sake.' The fasting person has two joyous occasions, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time of meeting his Rubb. Surely, the breath of one observing Saum is better smelling to Allah than the fragrance of musk.''

Commentary: "Khuluf'', is the smell that comes from the mouth of person who observes Saum. It results from the thirst and hunger which he has to suffer during the Saum. The Hadith not only tells us the merits of Saum but also brings into focus the true significance of it. Saum is not thus mere abstention from food, drink and sexual intercourse, but also keeping away from all evils and vices and embracing virtues.

POEM
MY HIJAB
---------
I dwelled in wilderness
I swam in a dark sea
I treaded with a blindfold
And got entangled
But I found a rescuer
That gave me dignity
It shielded me from harassment
It protected me from assault
It gave me pride and modesty
I reclaimed my honour
It earned me integrity
And placed me in a class
Only the faithful appreciate belonging
A rare garment
A unique one at that
My Hijab my pride!
They say am old fashioned
They call me a Ninja
They say am uncivilized
They go this is barbaric
I can't imagine myself in that thing
But I smile with assurance
For that thing is my insurance
And am glad to include it in my dress code
I shun condemnation
And rebuff rebuke
I remain undaunted
I walk with so much conviction
With no iota of doubt
Cos am on the right course
My Hijab my companion
My Hijab, my pride!
 
THE SMILE
LOAN ARITHMITIC
------------------

Little Johnny was being questioned by the teacher during an arithmetic lesson. 'If you had ten dollars,' said the teacher, 'and I asked you for a loan of eight dollars, how much would you have left?'
'Ten,' said Little Johnny firmly.
'Ten?' the teacher said 'How do you make it ten?'
'Well,' replied Little Johnny 'You may ask for a loan of eight dollars, but that doesn't mean you'll get it!'
