Absolutely Amazing

posted by bint Mohammed on 29th October 2008 - 0 comments

Isn't it totally amazing when Allah the Almighty makes a non muslim praise Him? I have so far experienced this (a few times) and was amazed! A typical scenario goes like this: Person A states: "Mashallah"

Are You Busy?

posted by bint Mohammed on 16th October 2008 - 0 comments

Author Unknown Satan called a worldwide convention. In his opening address to his evil servants, he said, "We can't keep the Muslims from going to Mosque. We can't keep them from reading the Quran and knowing the truth. We can't even keep them from forming an intimate, abiding relationship experience with Allah. If they gain that connection with Allah, our power over them is broken. So let them go to the mosques, let them have their conservative lifestyles, but steal their time, so they can't gain that relationship with Allah. This is what I want you to do, servants. Distract them from gaining hold of their Creator and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" shouted his servants. "Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered. "Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow. Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6 - 7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As their family fragments, soon,their home will offer no escape from the pressures of work!" "Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice. Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive. To keep the TV, VCR CDs and their PCs going constantly in their homes. And see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-Islamic music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Allah.

The Ferrero Rocher Solution

posted by bint Mohammed on 6th October 2008 - 2 comments

The Smart Husband, The Angry Wife, The Fast Hand And The Ferrero Rocher. By Hadrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee. No two people are identical. In the close and regular interaction between husband and wife disagreements are bound to occur. When a wife is angry, the smart husband gets a Ferrero Rocher and places it expertly into her mouth when she stops in her tirade for a gasp of breath for her next round. This is a highly effective ta`weez which will immediately defuse a potentially explosive situation. She will least expect it and she won't know whether to laugh or cry.

Unfortunately, we also find the small hearted husband. He cannot allow anyone, especially his wife, robbing him of his 'self respect'. He needs to show his wife that she is wrong and he is right. How is he to win?This strategy is doomed to fail!!! This consideration for Deeni reasons only, without any thought of worldly gain, is allowed and is commendable. It is our loss that we do not appreciate the importance of this in Islaam. In some cases, we unfortunately do not even consider this to be part of Deen.

Ramadaan: Save the Changes

posted by bint Mohammed on 30th September 2008 - 2 comments

Composed by Ml Imran Khamissa Nearly everyone in this age of modern technology has at some stage worked with a P.C. We have used it to draft documents, amend these documents,copied and pasted onto documents, used the 'undo' icon, edited documents, just to mention a few of the time saving operations that we find on this device.

After opening a document that we have worked upon previously and made the necessary changes and improvements a little box appears on the screen asking the question: Do you want to save the changes you have made to thisdocument? You are then given the option of selecting the YES tab or the NO tab. Selecting the YES tab will give you the desired results while selecting the NO tab literally takes you back to square one. All the effort made in editing, improving and shaping the document becomes an exercise in futility. Don't we all find ourselves in a similar predicament when the blessed month of Ramadaan passes us? Just think of your book of deeds like a document on your P.C. During the month of Ramadaan we have done amongst other things the following:

Expect the unexpected

posted by bint Mohammed on 26th September 2008 - 3 comments

Its 2:14 pm, Thursday 25th Ramadhaan 1429. My Sister-in-law is on the computer & i've just finished ironing my clothes in order to take a shower when blink the computer just switches off. "What just happened?" inquires my sister-in-law. My eyes dart across the room and stop at the digital clock which has also gone blank. "We seem to have lost our electricity" I reply.

Dua

posted by bint Mohammed on 24th September 2008 - 0 comments

Dua is our direct link to our creator:Allah. All we need to do is raise our hands (sometimes even not that) and ask away whatever our needs maybe. As we all know there are certain times when duas are more readily accepted especially in Ramadhaan like at Iftari, suhoor and on Laylat -ul Qadr (the Night of Power). [u]Dua to be recited on Laylatul Qadr[/sub] Aisha radhiya Allahu `anha, that she said: O Messenger of Allah! What if I knew which night Laylatul-Qadr was, then what should I say in it? He said.- Say.-

Allahumma innaka affuwwun tuhibbul afwa fafu annee.
