After every hardship, when I shake my core for any last bit of hope, and almost give up - I’m reminded that this has passed and I’ve overcome it and that there will be better days & that nothing lasts and that this is all part of the plan. It hurts, it’s painful, and I feel so broken - but there will be better days and Allaah is there; He is there and I can use that little bit of hope I have, water it with patience and let it grow into firmer, stronger, more resilient hope.

الحمدلله علي كل حال.

When a woman reaches her 16th week of pregnancy, the baby in her womb begins to develop the ability to hear. It starts to recognise and make itself familiar with it’s mothers speech as well as other sounds. In fact, it is also scientifically stated that, if there is a certain tune that the mother sang in pregnancy, the child would remember that tune even after it’s born!

Now imagine, if a pregnant woman was to recite Qur'an regularly and loudly while she was carrying her baby in the womb. Imagine the effect it will be having on the baby? When that child is born, he or she will remember the recitation of the Quran and be familiar with it from a very young age. Not only that, but a child may preserve the tune/recitation in their memory.If something like this does not amaze you and remind you of the Greatness of Allah, then what will?

When they say, ‘start your children early’, it does not mean when they reach 4, 5,6. Rather, Islam stresses that it all starts when the baby is in the womb. So, the lesson to take away is… start your kids early!

A beautiful piece of advice with a powerful illustration to go with it. Have a good long think about this one:

“The greater the distance between Allāh and the spouses the greater the distance between the spouses themselves..and the closer you are to Allāh, the closer you will be to your spouse”.

[zahraanwer]

Imam ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Women (wives) are the cause of happiness of the heart; that’s why they’re also called the reason to the happiness of the soul!” 

Rawdat al-muhibeen (p. 217)

[zahraanwer]

Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymeen Raḥimahullāh said:

“I see it from the blessing of Allāh upon a husband if he’s married to a woman who loves him!!”

“Compatibility between souls is one of the strongest causes of love.”

There is another hadeeth that is collected by an-Nasaai’ee in his “Sunan al-Kubra”* on the authority of ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Amr who reported that the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said,

لا ينظر الله إلى امرأة لا تشكر لزوجها، وهي لا تستغني عنه

“Allaah does not look towards a woman who doesn’t thank her husband even though she cannot do without him.”

* (no. 9135), and al-Albani declared it to be authentic in “As-Saheehah” (no. 289).

Marriage advice.

1 • Amanah. Realise that what is said between you should stay between you two. You should not disclose the secrets of your spouse to anyone else. Whether it’s a argument or something they said to you in confidence. It does not matter who it is, you just don’t.

2 • Privacy. This one is closely connected to the first. If you have a disagreement or an argument, do not tell anyone about this, because this will not only ruin the trust between you two, but in most cases this has proven to be one of the biggest factors of divorce. Involving family members such as mothers for example.

3 • Us not me. Realise that once you have taken upon yourself this responsibility, everything must become about us, not just me, me & me. You should understand that although you are two people, you should live as one. His/her needs become yours, his/her happiness become yours. Many people think it’s all about their own wants and neglect the wants of their spouses.

4 • Quality time. Give eachother plenty of quality time, especially if you do not meet very often or if you d not live together. Do not include other people or children everytime you are to meet, because this can make your spouse believe that you do not want to spend time with them or that you don’t value alone time.

Quality time before you officially move in together is something that is very much needed. And you should understand that your spouse wants to spend time with you and you, alone. This should be understood without any of the parts actually saying it. And this leads me to my next point.

5 • Comfortability. Don’t become too comfortable with your spouse, that’s how a relationship becomes boring and that’s how the spark between you goes out. Because comfortability in a relationship should have it’s limits. Always do little sweet things to keep your spouse happy. Surprise them with things they like occasionally. Show them that you value them and don’t stop showing them this.

6 • Be the bigger person. If you have an issue, resolve it instantly. Don’t let your arguments be dragged out. This can seriously damage your relationship so communicate and solve your problems when both of you have calmed down. Rather take the blame and apologise once in a while instead of damaging your relationship.

A Righteous Women is an Example for Her Children

By Shaykh Saalih ibn Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah)

The Uprightness of a Woman

A woman first and foremost needs to be righteous herself, so that she can be a good example for her daughters.

How can a woman become upright? Every woman must realize that only through knowledge can she become upright, and here I am referring to religious knowledge that she can learn from books - if that is possible for her - or from the tongues of scholars, regardless of whether those scholars are men or women.

In these times, it has become very easy for women to learn knowledge directly from the mouths of scholars through audio cassettes, for Islamic audio cassettes Alhamdulillah now represent an important means of enlightening and educating society. Hence, a woman needs knowledge to become upright, for there is no such thing as uprightness without knowledge.

Sound Training of Children

A woman should train her children properly, for her children represent the men and women of the future. In the earliest stages of their development, it is the mothers that human beings learn from. If she is a good mother, good in her manners and dealings and good in the way she brings up her children, then those children will take after her and contribute positively to the betterment of society.

Every mother, then, must dedicate herself to training her children, and if she cannot undertake their training on her own, then their father or another guardian – for example, a brother or uncle, if their father is dead – should help her to raise them.

A woman should not yield to difficult circumstances, feeling that she cannot change her situation or her family’s situation for the better. A bad situation needs to be changed and a good situation needs to be improved. When the Prophet (ﷺ) was sent to a Nation whose people worshipped idols, severed the ties of relations, and wronged one another, he (ﷺ) did not submit to their situation; in fact, Allah did not permit him to give up and yield to the prevailing conditions. Allah said to him:

فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

Therefore proclaim openly (Allah’s Message – Islamic Monotheism) that which you are commanded, and turn away from Al-Mushrihun (polytheists, idolaters and disbelievers).

(Qur’an – Surah Al Hijr, 15:94)

I’m just at a point in my life where I no longer want to talk about my past. I have so much to look forward to and I’m tired of carrying dead weight. I’m finally realizing my worth and what I have to offer. I just want peace and to let go of anything that takes that away from me. Peace.

The seal

over my heart lifted

the day i realised,

despite my sins,

You have always

been there for me,

and given me more

than i ever asked.

You are al-Rahman,

al-Raheem.
