LIFESTYLE OF A MUSLIMAH

- Fiqh of the family » Rights of spouses. What are the rights of the husband and what are the rights of the wife? what are a wife's rights on her husband according the Quran and Sunnah? or what are a husbands duties to his wife and viceversa? Praise be to Allaah. Islam has enjoined upon the husband duties towards his wife, and vice versa, and among these duties are some which are shared by both husband and wife.  We will mention – by the help of Allaah – some of the texts of the Qur’aan and Sunnah which have to do with the duties of the spouses towards one another, quoting also from the commentaries and views of the scholars.  Firstly:  The rights of the wife which are hers alone:  The wife has financial rights over her husband, which are the mahr (dowry), spending and accommodation.  And she has non-financial rights, such as fair division between co-wives, being treated in a decent and reasonable manner, and not being treated in a harmful way ...

*The SHORTEST BUT POWERFUL PRAYER** Assalamu Alykum Warahmathullahi Wabarakathuhu To All.. Al-Abbas (R.A.), the uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ), came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: “Ya Rasulullah, teach me a du'a.” The Prophet ( ﷺ) said: “O my uncle, say: Allahumma inni as'aluka al-afiyah (O Allah, I ask you for afiyah).” Now what is Afiyah? Afiyah means - “to save me from any afflictions. To be healthy, you are in afiyah. To have enough money, you are in afiyah. To live, you are in afiyah. To have your children protected, you are in afiyah. And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in afiyah." So basically Afiyah means: “O Allah, protect me from any pain and suffering.” This includes both dunya and akhirah. Al-Abbas (R.A.) thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased): “Ya Rasulullah, this du'a seems a little short. I want something big.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “My dear uncle, ask Allah f...

How to make your children pray on their own without arguments or reminders - Here's a narrative from a sister: My Daughter was 12 years old and prayer was like a heavy burden on her. So I told her to pray one day and I monitored her. She took the carpet and threw it on the ground. I asked her if she prayed - she said yes - Believe me, without feeling I slapped her face - I know I made a mistake. The situation has troubled me and I cried and I repent to God to forgive me.. The slap, the talk, the reminders did not make a difference to my child. One day a friend told me a story. She went to one of her friend for a visit. Her friend was not very religious, but when the Adhan prayer was called, her children rushed for prayers without reminders or quarrel. I said to her how do your children pray by themselves without quarrel or a reminder? She said, before I got married I used to pray this Dua and still pray it today. After she told me the Dua, I began to recite in my prayers ever...

A Letter from a sister in Aleppo I just received this message from a friend and couldn't help but crying, it is so disheartening to listen,watch and hear what is happening to the people of Aleppo in Eastern Syria. It's so upsetting that we dont know what's happening to our ummah. Because we are so busy in our lives, we eat, we sleep, we use phones, we chat, we laugh we do this and that's okay, cool. What's happening to this ummah, we don't give a damn.  Please inform people about what's happening & indeed it's a great reminder for all of us.  This will take the love for duniya out from your heart إن شاء الله.      A letter written by one of the sisters in #Aleppo right now to the scholars of the ummah and to the leaders of the opposition: "I am one of the woman in Aleppo who will soon be raped in just moments..there are no more weapons or men that can stand between us and the animals who are about to come called the 'country's ...
