FINANCIAL SHARIAH ADVISORY

Surah At-Tahreem (The Prohibition)
This Surah is Madani, and it has 12 verses and 2 sections

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Most Merciful

O those who believe, save yourselves and your families from a fire, the fuel of which is human beings and stones, appointed on which are angels, stern and severe, who do not disobey Allah in what He orders them, and do whatever they are ordered to do. [6]

Education and Training of the Wife and Children:
Every Muslim's Responsibility

The jurists have pointed out that, according to the verse under comment, it is the responsibility of every Muslim to educate the wife and children in matters of Shar'i obligations, and in matters of Halaal and Haraam and train them diligently to act upon them. A Hadith says, "May Allah shower His mercy upon a person who says: '0 my wife and children, (be mindful of your prayers, your fasting, your alms, your indigent, your orphan, your neighbour) It is hopeful that Allah will gather all these with him in Paradise"

'Your prayers, your fasting' and so on' implies 'Take care of them. Do not ignore them.' The phrase 'Your indigent, your orphan and so on implies 'Fulfil their rights towards them willingly and readily.'

Righteous elders have said that the person deepest in punishment on the Day of Judgement will be the one whose family is ignorant and unaware of the religion. [RUH]

MEDINA MUNAWWARA

I have never experienced feelings like these anywhere else..

Peace, reverance and respect
Well, what else can you expect?
This is the City of Light
Chosen by the Almighty for his most beloved
Making it forever bright

Virtuous Medina is Tayyiba
By means of its purity
You can fulfil your duty
Drawing you closer to the Almighty

Can you imagine
A city for which our Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam made Dua
Invoking for its blessings
Revelation of Al-Qur'an and its guidance
Visits from Jibraeel and Mikaeel
A masjid where if you offer 40 Salaah
Exemption from hell fire will be your abundance

Can you feel its miracle
There is healing in the sand of Medina
And between Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam's house and mimbar
Lies a garden of Jannah

Can you hope to receive
Of the mercies that always descend
Can you strive to achieve
Then Salaat and Salaam you must send

Oh ALLAH grant me death in Medina and burial in Baqi
Oh ALLAH in your infinite Mercy, please make me worthy.
‎?

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
