HADITH
(Traditions of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)
Adi bin Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, "Guard yourselves against the Fire (of Hell) even if it be only with half a date-fruit (given in charity); and if you cannot afford even that, you should at least say a good word.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: This Hadith highlights the point that Sadaqah has great benefits and even in its minimum scope and quantity it can ensure our safety against Hell-fire. We are told that if we do not have even a single date or half of it to give to a needy person, we can manage to have the same benefit by talking to him in a compassionate tone, provided we have Faith in our heart.

A THOUGHT

THE YEARNING HEART

Oh! how my heart yearns to have lived in the time of our Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam). When the truth was being revealed and lived by all.

When Islam, and the perfection of our way of life was being absorbed by all like the warm rays of sunshine dripping into our very souls.

Where all evil and every shade of discrimination was being eroded and destroyed.
When solid links of brotherhood was being forged and cemented for life.

A time when Women were being treated like the Queens they really are. Being protected and respected. No fear of being used or abused or raped or murdered.

A time when being a child was a precious experience so safe and sound.

When justice was just that Justice and not a system of mockery and of trying to find loopholes to get around accountability.

Where Men were honourable and respectable and a protection unto their womenfolk.

Where Womenfolk were a means of peace and tranquillity unto their menfolk.

Oh how my heart yearns to have lived in the time of our Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam
).

OUR LATEST PODCAST
Kind Treatment To Parents – Sh Samih Jad

Sh Samih Jad dedicated this programme to the rights parents have on their children and shared various advices from the book Ihya Ulumadin by Imam Ghazali (AR).

Allah Ta’ala instructed us in the Glorious Quran as follows, Your Rabb has commanded that you worship only Him and that you treat your parents kindly.” (S17:V23)

Rasulullah Sallallahu`Alayhi Wa Sallam mentioned that among the Major Sins, Akbarul Kabaair, is U’qooqul Walidayn - Disobedience to Parents.

In another Hadith, Rasulullah Sallallahu`Alayhi Wa Sallam said to the effect that one of the Signs of Qiyamah is that a woman will give birth to her master. Sh Samih explained what is meant is that women will give birth to daughters who would treat them badly as if the daughter is the master and the mother is the servant. Sh Samih discussed the norm today in society where parents are not just disrespected, but abused too by their own children and gave stern warnings against such behaviour.

He also outlined certain guidelines to follow when interacting with our parents as mentioned by Rasulullah Sallallahu`Alayhi Wa Sallam: 1.Do not walk in front of your parents. 2.Do not call your parents by their names. 3.Do not sit before them. 4.Accept the advices of your parents. 5.Do not eat anything your parents intended to eat. 6.Do not disobey your parents accept if it means disobeying Allah Ta'ala. 7.Seek to please your parents. 8.Kiss the hands of your parents. 9.Never insult or shout your parents.

PEAK MINUTES

I took what felt like an opportune moment to ask my husband if he was serious about our relationship.

Looking hurt, he said, "Do you know how special you are?" He held up his cell phone. "I use my daytime minutes on you."
