*MOTHERS-IN-LAW: FEAR ALLĀH*

It was devastating writing this article, I know it is going to hurt a lot of people while making others happy. The reality is we must bring out the truth and guide people to it.

Our mother and in-law these days have lost their ways wallahi, most of them don't fear Allāh. Mother just because you bring a child to this world and he becomes husband to sister X, that does not give you the right to violate the sister. You have rights over your son but you don't have rights over her. It is a courtesy if she respects you not because she is obliged to do so.
You block your son from discharging his duties as a husband and father for your personal interest. You won't allow him to take good care of his kids and wife. Dear mother, did someone block your husband from you during your time?
Dear mother, you should know that when you instruct your son to hurt or harm his family you are not doing him a favour, rather you are making Akhira (hereafter) difficult for him.
Dear mother, you stopped your son from spending on his family, he cant even buy something and bring it home because of your trouble. Mother is that how you want your own daughter to be treated?
I heard of this mother who would give 1 litre of water to her son's wives to be used in a day. She had to measure food in quantities because she does not want them to have access to the food store. Mother what kind of a dangerous mother are you?
By Allāh, Mother, Allāh will question you on how you treat your son and his wives. And Wallahi you will be tortured for tutoring them. Mother you are not Allāh, why put sanctions on your son to make life difficult for him?
Dear Son,
Allāh has instructed you to obey your parents, but when they instruct you to deviate from the correct path, you have no right to obey them. You obey Allāh.
You cannot allow your mother to harm your wife, your wife is an Amanah to you. Her security and well-being is put upon you. You cannot allow your mother to harm her.
You don't divorce your wife just because your mother says she will curse you. Allāh is not an unjust King. Allāh will not punish you for refusing to divorce your innocent wife. In fact the messenger says only Shaitan and his allies love divorce.
Also note that, some of our mothers are really devilish, they will plot and say anything to destroy your family. Don't listen to everything they say. Investigate before you act.
Dear wife,
Obey your mother-in-law and respect her like your own mother. She is not your competitor, so don't compete with her. Stay out of her way. You have no right interfering in mother and son affairs.
Be patient. Be Patient. Be Patient.
Despite that, do not allow her to crush you or make you a laughing stock. If you cant bear it, invite your family into the matter,

May Allah protect us from the evil of mother in laws and guide the mother in laws.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w...

IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE An obligation upon every Muslim

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE* ➖➖➖ *An obligation upon every Muslim* ➖➖➖  Allah ﷻ says  *وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا* _And He taught Adam all the names of everything_ Meaning, the names that people use, such as human, animal, sky, earth, land, sea, horse, donkey, and so forth, including the names of the other species" *ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلَـئِكَةِ* _Then He showed them to the angels_ Meaning, the creations. Qatadah رحمه الله said, _"Allah paraded the objects before the angels"_ *فَقَالَ أَنۢبِـُٔونِى بِأَسْمَآءِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ* _And said, "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful."_ [2:31] This was said to the Angels who in the previous verse said : *أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَآءَ* _Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood._ [2:30] _ So they the Angels said  *قَالُواْ سُبْحَـنَكَ لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِلاَّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِي...
