What I mean by embracing and hugging is not sitting in his lap.* *I swear by Allah that I did not remember my father ever hugging me and I am in a psychological state that no one knows except Allah.*           *ANSWER 55:* *For a man to embrace and hug his daughter, or kiss her on the head or cheek or between the eyes by way of showing compassion, kindness and love is permissible, even if she is an adult, on condition that there be no fear of fitnah or provocation of desire. Excluded from that is kissing on the mouth, which is only for spouses, and which usually provokes desire.* *Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Can a man kiss a woman who is his mahram?

Or if someone asks me: Do you pray for me, and I tell him yes, and I ask him to do likewise.*           *ANSWER 54:* *Praying (offering du‘aa’) for one’s brother in his absence is something that is encouraged by Islamic teachings.* *Islam encourages the Muslims to pray for one another in their absence, as in the hadith of Abu’d-Dardaa’, who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There is no Muslim who prays for his brother in his absence, but the angel will say: And you will have something similar.” Narrated by Muslim (2732).* *Al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He will have a reward commensurate with what he prayed for, because even though he prayed for someon

 *Peace be upon you all.*        *No matter how dark it is,* *the hand always knows the* *way to the mouth*      *Meaning: Darkness in this sense speaks of a challenging situation whereas the hand speaks of love in the affairs of life. The proverb tells us that no matter the challenges one may be facing, love always finds a way to do what is right. When you love someone you find ways to not burden them but to be a blessing . But you see, the reason why love is able to find its way though the darkness is because love is light. Light we are told by science is made up different colors( particular all the colors of the rainbow). In the same way love is made of different components. Love is joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentle and self-control. Often times our problem isn’t that the challenges are tough but that we don’t have true love. As they say in Denmark, “faults are thin where love is thick”. Having good intentions is not enough. Good intentions never saved o

 *Peace be upon you all.*        *He who does nit criticize himself dies from the criticism of others.*     *Meaning: Growing up, as characteristic of childhood period, we used to tease ourselves a lot. In fact, we competed in making fun of ourselves. I used to cry over the things people said about me until one day I discovered a secret. Before anyone said anything about me, I first of all said all the things I knew could be made fun of about me. This really disarmed my play mates. They couldn't not say those things about me anymore and even if they did, it was no news. As for them, my teasing really got into them because they didn't tell themselves or accept the facts about themselves. This practice has lingered on to my adult life. I make fun of myself, so there is hardly anything you can say about me to make me feel sad. I make conscious effort to criticize myself, so it's hard for me to be offended by the same criticism from people. The reality of life is that we all ma

 *Peace be upon you all.*        *A leopard is chasing us, and you are asking me “is it a male or female?”*    *Meaning: This is not even funny, especially if you found yourself in a life threatening situation and someone is nagging you with irrelevant questions. It seems to me that some people have a penchant for asking wrong questions all the time. The thing is if you cannot help people, why bother them with silly questions? Why waste their time? That's not fair. If we don't have anything relevant to say, we must learn to keep our mouths shut. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt". Asking irrelevant questions can be not only disheartening to the one being questioned but quite dangerous to the questioner. The reason is that not everyone takes kindly to frustration with irrelevant questions. Why not use the time in asking those irrelevant questions to solve the problem at hand or at least to think about how to solve the pro

 *DEATH* Remembering our own death is a sign of consciousness of Allah. Sometimes it is encouraged to sit and reflect on your death. How it will occur, where it will occur, will there be janaza, how you will be placed in the grave, what happens when everyone leaves, what happens to the people you left behind, then for how long will you lie in there before the day of Qiyamah, what will happen on that day, with whom will you be resurrected, will you be able to cross the sirat, with which hand will you receive your book of records, who did you cheated that needs compensation, who had cheated you, will you get to jannah, or it is hell for you, if it is hell, for how long will you stay in it, if it is jannah, will you see the Prophet, will you see Allah, and lastly, how will the life continue in Jannah. Those are questions we should always contemplate in our minds. Such questions strengthen your faith in Allah and prevent you from haram or hurting others and remain conscious of your limits.

 ﷽ *What Every Person Needs To Know About Jannah (Paradise)* *Episode 16* *The Rivers of Paradise* Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) has told us that rivers flow from beneath Paradise: "And give glad tidings to those who believe and do righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow.." [2:25] "For them will be Gardens of Eternity: beneath them rivers will flow" [18:31] The Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) told us clearly about the rivers of Paradise. He said that during his Israa' (Night Journey): "...I saw four rivers flowing out from beneath Sidrat  al-Muntahaa, two visible and two hidden. He asked, "O Jibreel, What are these rivers?"  He said, "The two hidden rivers are rivers of Paradise, and the two visible rivers are the  Nile and the Euphrates". [Muslim, Kitaab al-Imaan, Baab al-Israa', 1/150, no. 164; al- Bukhaari reports the same from Anas ibn Maalik, Jaami' al-Usool, 10/507, narrated bt Abu Awana

 ﷽ *Let's Change Our Mindsets About Marriage* *Episode 339* ﷽ *The Muslim Woman And Her Husband* (Part 8) *8. She helps him to obey Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa)* One of the qualities of the good Muslim wife is that she helps her husband to obey Allah  (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa) in different ways, especially to stay up and pray at night (qiyaam  al-layl). By doing this, she does him an immense favour, because she reminds him to do something he might otherwise forget or neglect. Thus she causes him, and herself, to be covered by the mercy of Allah.  What a beautiful picture the Prophet drew of the married couple helping one another to  obey Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa) and do good deeds, and entering into the mercy of  Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa) together. This comes in the hadeeth narrated by Abu  Hurayrah (RAA), who said:   “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘May Allah have mercy on the man who gets up at night to  pray and wakes up his wife to pray, and if she refuses, he spri

 Praise be to Allah Almighty.        *The Power of Dua* 🤲     *____________________*       ```Very Important``` *The dua can change our life, our outlook, and our fate. It is the most potent weapon of a believer.* *Once Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) passed by a people who were suffering from some affliction. "Why don't they make dua (pray ) to Allah for protection," he said. With all the suffering and disasters Muslims are facing in various parts of the world, the question can be directed to all of us today.* *It is not that we have forgotten dua completely; we refer to it regularly. But, our ideas and practice regarding dua have become distorted. Often it is reduced to the level of a ritual. Generally it is considered when all our efforts have failed --- an act of last resort. It is belittled through actions and sometimes even with words. Is it any wonder that today mostly a mention of dua is meant to indicate the hopelessness of a situation.* *What a tragedy, fo

 *Peace be upon you all.*        *He who has done evil, expects evil*      *Meaning: Evil does not come from outside. Evil comes from within. If one is outwardly immoral, it is because they have no moral values guiding them from within. If a person is a liar on the outside, it is because they are not true on the inside. Having said that, there is to be realized a universal law working within each of us. I call it the 'law of conscience', for lack of a known term. My definition of this law is: when you have done good you expect good and when you have done evil you expect evil. Whether we choose to acknowledge this law, will not change its outcome. It is etched in our minds. If you don't expect evil your way, it is because you have done no evil or at least, you've done nothing evil that you know of. The moment you've done something bad, you instinctively expect something bad to occur. The reason we question why bad things happen to good people, is because we know that

 *Peace be upon you all.*        *A priest sees people at their best, a lawyer at their worst, but a doctor sees people as they are.*     *Meaning: A priest is trained to be approachable and encouraging. A lawyer has to imagine the worse case scenarios to put up a strong defense. And a doctor cannot remedy a condition he is not realistic about. The main point of this proverb is not to place one profession above the other or to demonize any of the professions. This proverb points out a very essential lesson that is often overlooked. The lesson is that we see people and things as we are. You may have heard of the phrase, “Is the cup half full or half empty?” The correct answer is that it depends on who is looking at it. The optimist will say the glass is half full. The pessimist will say the glass is half empty. The critic will say the glass is ugly. The rationalist will say the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. The skeptic will doubt if what he is seeing is real. The realist will

 *Peace be upon you all.*        *They Ate Our Food.* *And Forgot Our Names.*      *How sad and selfish for someone to eat your food and forget your name! Yet, it is exactly how some people treat us or even worse it is how we treat others sometimes. To eat someone's food is to enjoy benefits or kindness from the person. And to forget someone's name in this context is to treat that person unfairly. Thus, to eat a person's food and forget his or her name is to dismiss or disregard the person after being kind to you. Remembering a person's name is the least thing you can do for the person after being very kind to you. Are you one of those people who only think about their stomach? Have you eaten people's food and forgotten their names? I think this proverb somehow describes how we Africans have been mistreated by the millions of tourists that visit our continent. To me they not only forget our names, they tarnish our name and some even dare to use our names to make wea

For many of us if we know of certainty that we only have a month to live, I bet we will become wise in the way we live our lives. Why is this so? The simple answer is that when we have a lot we take things for granted (thinking that a little waste or loss doesn't really matter). But what we don't realize is that it's the little that accumulate to become a lot. A little act of carelessness everyday becomes a habit of foolishness over time.

She stands by him and offers her advice* One of the laws that Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa) has decreed for this life is that men and women should work together to cultivate and populate the earth and run the affairs of life therein. Man cannot do without woman, and vice versa. Hence the laws of Islam teach men and women to co-operate in all matters. Islam encourages a man to help his wife, as much as he is able; the Prophet , who is the example for all Muslims, used to help and serve his family until he went out to pray, as the Mother of the Believers ‘A’ishah said.51  Just as Islam expects a man to help his wife with housework and running household affairs, so the woman is also expected to help him in dealing with the outside world and to play her  role in life by offering her opinions and advice, and supporting him in practical terms.  History tells us that Muslim wome
