SURAH AD-DAHR: 76 - (The Time)
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful

We have prepared for the disbelievers shackles and iron-collars and a blazing Fire. [4]
Indeed, the righteous will have a drink from a goblet, blended with (a drink from) Camphor [5]

COMMENTARY: After the description of the two groups, the next verse describes the punishment and evil consequences of the disbelievers. Allah has prepared, for the disbelievers, shackles and iron-collars and a blazing Fire. On the other hand, huge bounties are mentioned for the believers and righteous people. Out of these bounties, drinkables are mentioned first. They will have a drink from a goblet, blended with (a drink from) Camphor.

(The righteous will have a drink from a goblet, blended with [a drink from] Camphor 76:5). Some of the commentators say that KAAFOOR (Camphor) refers to a fountain in Paradise. In order to enhance the taste and pleasure of this drink, it will be mixed with water from this spring. If the word 'camphor' is taken in its popular sense, it does not necessarily signify that the camphor of Paradise be equated with the camphor available in this world, because the latter is not palatable.

THE MESSAGE
THE MOTHER IN RAMADHAN
----------------------------
Ramadhaan is the most important month of the Islamic year. It is in this month that the family worships Allah and practices Islam more fervently and with greater enthusiasm. The Muslim family spend precious moments of their time together during Iftaar and Suhoor. These two meals provide the fuel and blessing that grant a Muslim the physical and spiritual strength to fast.

The food Muslims consume plays a critical role in their worship. Allah mentions in the Quran : "Eat what is wholesome and do good deeds." In other words, wholesome and halaal food promotes good character and actions. The responsibility of ensuring that wholesome meals are provided for the family rests on the father and mother. The father earns pure and halaal sustenance. The mother ensures that the food that is consumed is wholesome and halaal.

A few ideas on how a mother can create an Islamic home in Ramadhaan:

Encourage children to recite Quran regularly every day even if it be a little. This will discipline them and make them love the Quran.

Encourage them to fast even for an hour or half a day. This will build their confidence.

Let them perform Salaah together with the mother while she prays.

Teach them one new thing about Ramadhaan every day, eg. a dua, Hadith, benefit of fasting and Taraweeh, etc.

Teach them to avoid unhealthy food. Ramadhaan is, after all, a month of diet control!

Assign one of the kids the responsibility for waking everyone up for Suhoor and Fajr (Set your alarm clock, just in case!) This will teach them the importance of Suhoor and Fajr.

In Ramadhaan, specifically, there must be a constant reminder of an Islamic home! Children learn from a mother's personal example. A mother who is always there by supervising and disciplining her children and who keeps busy with Salah, Qur'aan and Dua provides the most favourable Islamic atmosphere for piety and happiness in the home. A mother provides a special warmth and tenderness to the family during Ramadhaan. Ramadhaan without a mother can never be a true Ramadhaan. Ask anybody who has lost a mother within the last year how sad and empty that home now is.

A Dua for our mothers and sisters...
May Allah grant our mothers the understanding of their critical role in every Muslim home. They are the spiritual pillars upon which the bricks of worship and obedience stand. If they fall or crumble the future of the Ummah is at stake. May Allah make our Muslim women true beacons of piety and strength. Ameen!

NEWS

More than 50% of people remain unconvinced regarding the 9/11 attacks and the war on so called terrorism. A new survey reveals that people across the globe do not believe Al Qaeda perpetrated the attacks saying the current political crisis created by the West is unjustified.

At least 45 people have been killed and scores others wounded when according to sources, US armed forces hurled grenades into a Masjid in northern Pakistan. The masjid, located in Dir district near the border with Afghanistan, was full of people performing Taraweeh Salaah

A three story wave of mud and iron ore has killed at least 128 people in China. Authorities say they expect the death toll to climb by hundreds more. There are also reports that several hundred could be buried under the mud and there is little hope of finding them alive.

South Africa and neighbouring countries are being urged to invest in Zimbabwe. This comes as the economic meltdown continues. Earlier this week, Zimbabwe’s reserve Governer, allowed for foreign currency trade.

Cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro, mostly known as Zapiro, says public figures must take full responsibility for what they say and do. He has repeated that he will not apologise for a cartoon in the Sunday Times, which shows an unzipped ANC President Jacob Zuma towering over the Lady of Justice, who is being pinned down by ANC alliance leaders. Shapiro says the intention was not to demean women.

HANDY HINT
When using a ladder, be sure that you are not set up in front of an active door that may open. If so, lock the door. Have a friend hold the base of the ladder for stability. If you don't have a friend available, pound a couple of wooden stakes into the ground at the foot of the ladder so that the ladder doesn't slip out of place.

A THOUGHT

ALLAH'S UNITY
---------------
An eloquent speaker said well of His being that the belief in Allah's unity springs from the rejection of all accessories.

Such is His majesty that were it to enter a man's soul a hundred storms would spring up in every atom.

Such is His unity that it does not leave room for a single hair; beside His unity the whole world does not weigh a single hair.

Such is the awe He inspires that if the sun had the slightest awareness of it it would be lost in an eternal shadow.

~ FARIDUDEEN ATTAR ~

 
THE SMILE
The doctor to the patient: 'You are very sick'
The patient to the doctor: 'Can I get a second opinion?'
The doctor again: 'Yes, you are very ugly too...'

I use this joke for retelling in reported speech.
