 *The Long-Lasting Effects of Yelling at Your Kids* by Healthline.com Overview If you’re a parent, you know that sometimes emotions get the best of you. Somehow children can really push those buttons you didn’t know you had. And before you know it, you holler from the top of your lungs. You’re not alone in doing that, and your feelings of parental frustration are normal. The good news is that you can change the way you talk to your children, switching from a yelling monologue to a respectful dialogue. Why do parents yell? The short answer is because we feel overwhelmed or angry, which makes us raise our voices. But that rarely solves the situation. It may quiet the children and make them obedient for a short while, but it won’t make them correct their behavior or their attitudes. In short, it teaches them to fear you rather than understand their consequences of their actions. Children rely on their parents for learning. If anger and associated aggression like shouting is part of what a

 *Characteristics of Child Abusers* by Dr. Rachel 1. Sexual offenders have access to many children One study indicated that offenders who victimize females have an average of 20 victims and those who victimize males an average of 150. This means the sexual offender has a job, position, or habits that put him near children with frequency. It is not someone who happens upon a girl in an alleyway, but someone who is regularly interacting with our children. 2. Pedophiles look like the average person We give true predators an edge when we expect sexual offenders to be the creepy guy with a hood on staring at our kids. Surely that’s a dangerous situation, but offenders are more commonly average people. Not the outcast alone at an event, but the one running around greeting everyone gaining trust. Just as you can not look at a person and know their favorite type of food, you cannot tell a sexual offender by their appearance, only by their actions. 3. Sexual abusers are usually married or in a

 ﷽ *40 Hadīths For Children With Stories* *Episode 12: Anger* Halit was a very strong child. He could lift a stool straight up from the ground with only one hand. Nobody could beat him at school in wrestling. He mostly wrestled against his friend Nuraddeen. One day Nuraddeen and Halit wrestled in the schoolyard again. Nuraddeen lost. He was so angry that he went into the classroom and scribbled all over Halit's books.  This made Halit very angry. He jumped on Nuraddeen and punched him on the nose. Nuraddeen's nose started to bleed, and the blood got all over his clothes and on the classroom floor. Their classmates all fell bad when they saw what had happened. The teacher scolded Halit and told him the following Hadīth: ليس الشديد بالصرعةإنما الشديد الذي يملك نفسه عند الغضب رواه البخاري *"A strong person is not the one who beats his rivals in wrestling, but a strong person is the one who controls his anger."* *[Bukhāri]* Source of the Hadīth: Bukhāri, Kitāb al-Adab, Ha

 ﷽ *AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah* *Part 6: THINGS THAT VITIATE WUDHU (ABLUTION)*  Ablution (Wudhu) is nullified by either ritual impurities or causes thereof.  The impurities are: urine, faeces, breaking wind, emitting prostatic fluid and genital discharges.  The causes are: deep sleep, unconsciousness, intoxication, insanity, kissing, touching the  opposite sex if pleasure is either intended or derived, touching the penis with the inside of the palm or the fingers. Whoever has doubts about impurity must renew his Wudhu unless it is a whispering coming from Shaytan in which case he need not to do anything. The whole penis must be washed in case of the secretion of prostatic fluid but not the testicles. Prostatic fluid is the liquid secreted when aroused through fantasizing, lustful looks or the like.

 ﷽ *Let's Change Our Mindsets About Marriage* *Episode 250* *Verbal and Emotional abuse* Abuse comes in many forms, not all of which are physical. When someone repeatedly uses words to demean, frighten, intimidate, condemn, or control someone, it’s considered verbal abuse. This experience if not addressed, could turn into an emotional abuse - in which the victim goes through a lot of psychological trauma resulting in suicide, self-isolation, panic attacks and even death.  You’re likely to hear about verbal abuse in the context of a romantic relationship or a parent-child relationship. But today, we will focus on verbal abuse between couples. The above practice has now become normalized in many marriages, especially towards women, and of course a few cases towards men. This trend, no doubt, has put many marriages in a bad state,  and even lead to many marriages failing. _Let's talk about some common verbal abuses and their impact on their victims._  1. *Unwarranted utterances* -

There is complete scholarly consensus (ijma‘) within the Muslim Umma on this. Allah Most High says: “They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: “It is an impurity. So keep away from women during menstruation; and do notapproach them until they are cleansed. But when they are cleansed, then approach them from where Allah has commanded you. Surely Allah loves those who are most repenting, and loves those who keep themselves pure.” (Qur’an 2:222) “Among the Jews, when a woman menstruated, they did not eat with her, nor did they live with menstruating women in their houses. So the Companions of the Messenger of Allah §& asked the Messenger of Allah # [regarding this practice], so Allah Most High revealed: “They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: “I

No, sex ed conversations can begin when a child is a preschooler. It begins simply. Naturally Children are naturally curious. They want to know about the world around them. And even if they don’t ask the specific questions, there are lessons that are easy to talk with your young child about. Below are 7 primary concepts that we’d encourage you to address with your preschooler. 1. God created you. One of the most basic of lessons is we have a Creator. God created all things. The Quran is the perfect way to introduce this topic. Do you have a children’s Quran you read with your preschooler? This lesson probably has already come up if you do. 2. God made both males and females. This is also probably a lesson that has come up if you regularly read a children’s Quran with your kids. When God created humans, he fi

His behaviour upset his mother terribly. She would always advice him. "Dear, don't hurt other people's feelings. Don't say rude things to people." But Nihat would never admit that he was wrong. He would say: "It's not my fault. I haven't done anything wrong. They made me angry, which made me behave like that." One day his mother told him that if he didn't quarrel with anyone until evening she would buy him a belt that he had seen in a shop window. He really wanted that belt. His brothers overhead what his mother had said and tried to pick an argument with him. But they couldn't make him angry; Nihat had decided to control himself for once.

 ﷽ *Let's Change Our Mindsets About Marriage* *Episode 249* *WHEN SHE CAN'T BEAR A CHILD* One of the trends of Jahiliyya was looking down upon people who were unable to conceive or have a child. This behaviour is one of the characters that the Prophet fought in the early Islamic period. Today we live in a society where people seems to forget that both life and death belong to Allah; just like a child, wealth and power/status. Allah says "To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills.. " [42:49] When you hurt your wife for not being able to conceive it shows how ignorant and naive you are, it shows your lack of faith in Allah; it shows your lack of knowledge about Allah. Likewise, hurting your daughter in law for not being able to conceive shows the same trend. Let me remind us, being born to this world is an opportunity; no one can make it happen without the decree of Allah. Your parents were not any better when Allah gave them c

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ath-thalaatha, 12th day of Safar (Tuesday 29th Sept. 2020). *_MISSING JUMUĀH DUE TO LECTURES OR Work ETC_*. BismilLah.  It's important we understand as Muslims that Jumu‘ah prayer is obligatory for the able-bodied Muslim man, and that staying away from it without any efforts not to miss it is a grave sin. What is required is to be very keen to attend this prayer regularly, for it is a weekly prayer and weekly Eid for the Muslims, the greatest and best of the days of the week. So it is not permissible to be heedless or negligent about it. Almost all Scholars who qualify for Issuing Fatwas has said that: Jumu‘ah prayer is an individual obligation (fard ‘ayn); it is not permissible to miss it because of working hour or study, and the like. ALLAH, may HE be glorified, says “And whoever fears ALLAH - HE will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect” [at-Talaaq 65:2-3]. From this verse it's clear that we must mak

 *How can parents safeguard children against sexual abuse?* by Grown Ups Magazine  It’s unrealistic to think a parent can be present with his or her child at all times: both parents and children need individual time and privacy. But parents need to be aware of children’s friends and activities. If the child is involved in athletics or organizations, parents should make sure that events are managed so that a child is never left alone with an adult. A parent’s presence at sporting events and other activities sends a message to possible abusers that the child is well monitored which presents an obstacle to abuse. Furthermore, individuals who sexually abuse children often have certain characteristics that a vigilant parent can pick up on. Asking to spend time alone with a child or breaking parent rules to gain the child’s favoritism are warnings that shouldn’t be ignored. Perhaps the most important protection against sexual abuse is an ongoing and open dialogue with your child. Young child

 *What should a parent do if sexual abuse is suspected?*  by Grown Ups Magazine  Sexual abuse has far-reaching consequences. People who were sexually abused as children often have sexual problems throughout adulthood, including promiscuity and the inability to maintain a stable relationship. Discovering the sexual abuse and acting upon the information is key to reestablishing the child’s wellbeing. As difficult as it is, adults must maintain a sense of calm when asking a child about a suspected case of child abuse. Don’t put the child on the spot by demanding answers. This tactic not only scares the child, but can also cause him or her to bury the secret deeper. Children often mistakenly believe that the abuse is their fault and that they did something to bring it on themselves. Instead, lead the conversation with a series of open-ended questions that require answers beyond a simple “yes” or “no.” If the child discloses sexual abuse, stay calm. It’s important to tell the child that you

If it becomes difficult to determine the spot(s) then wash the entire garment. If however, one simply suspects being touched by impurity then it is enough to sprinkle water on the clothing. If one doubts the purity of a thing that touches him no sprinkling is necessary. He, who remembers an impurity while in Salaat, must immediately interrupt his Salaat unless he fears missing the prescribed time. He, who forgetfully does Salaat with an impurity and remembers only after Salaam, must repeat the Salaat as long as it is still within time.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 11th day of Safar (Monday 28th Sept. 2020). *_TRUTHFULNESS LEADS TO PEACE OF MIND_*. BismilLah.  Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, a true action leads to the path of virtue, and virtue paves the way of a person to paradise, and this person continues to speak the truth until, in the sight of ALLAH, he is named as-S’iddiq (the Truthful). Lying, on the other hand, leads to vice, and vice leads to indecent acts and a person goes on lying until, in the sight of ALLAH, he is called a liar (Bukhari, 116). This shows that truth brings peace of mind, but falsehood disturbs the mind. When the mind is disturbed as a result of vice, there is no way an individual can achieve peaceful coexistence with another brethren. This is also related to interpersonal transactions: A sale agreement is revocable until the buyer and seller part company. If they tell the truth and disclose everything relevant to the transaction, it become

Its fruits are a good life in this world, and eternal comfort in the Hereafter. Just like in Paradise the fruits whose supply is not cut off, nor are they out of reach, likewise are the fruits of Tawhīd and Ikhlās in this world. Shirk, lying and showing off are a tree in the heart. Its fruits are fear, grief, anguish, constraint and darkness of the heart. Its fruits in the Hereafter are Az-Zaqūm (a tree in Hellfire) and eternal punishment.” [Al-Fawā’id, 292] One of the many works authored by Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali is Lataa’if al-Ma’aarif, a work detailing the merits, special attributes and prescribed actions which occur throughout each year.  Ibn Rajab began the chapter on the month of Muharram with the following hadeeth: خرّج مسلم من حديث أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي ﷺ قال (أفضل الصيام بعد شهر رمضان ش

﷽ *AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah* *Part 3: RITUAL PURIFICATION*  PURIFICATION IS OF TWO TYPES: minor purification and major purification. Neither of them can be properly done except by means of water which must be both pure and purifying. That means all its basic elements of colour, taste and smell have not been altered by means of an agent usually foreign to it such as oil, fat, yeast of all types; likewise foam, soap, dirt and the like.  There is however, no harm with sand, mud, salt earth, fur or the like. *Pearls Of Motivation* Never lose hope. It’s what keeps us going. Start praying again. Start expecting again. Almighty Allāh knows what’s going on in our lives.

 ﷽ *40 Hadīths For Children With Stories* *Episode 9: The Wallet* Once upon a time, there was an ill-natured merchant who had lost his wallet at the market with 800 gold coins in it. He looked everywhere trying to find it, and asked everyone if they had seen it, but he couldn't find it nor had anyone seen it. Then he hired a town crier to announce that he would give one hundred gold pieces as a reward to anyone who found the wallet. A man known as Veli the shoemaker found the lost wallet. He was a very honest man. He decided to keep the wallet until he could find its owner. When he heard the town crier making an announcement he went to the trader and gave the wallet back. The trader was not only ill-natured; he was also stingy and a liar. He was happy that his wallet had been found, but he did not reveal this to Veli. He opened the wallet and started to count his money, saying: "Oh! I see you have already taken the money I had promised as a reward." Veli took hold of the

He, after that, started destroying the three hundred and sixty idols existed around the Ka'abah with his bow, while circumambulating and reciting the following verses: Surah Al-Isra, Verse 81: وَقُلْ جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا And say: "Truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism or this Qur-ān or Jihad against polytheists) has come and Batil (falsehood, i.e. Satan or polytheism, etc.) has vanished.

The benefit Allaah has put in her is yet to be seen. She wears her hijab for her Lord, to please and obey, She turns to Allaah for salaah at least five times each day. She prays in the night and makes sure to awake you, And sprinkles you with water if sleep should overtake you She protects her chastity with firmness because she does not desire to displease Allaah and end up in the tormenting fire. She asks the people who know when matters need to be rectified. She is not blinded by self righteousness and foolish pride. She is humble and kind to her husband as Allaah has commanded. Never leaving him alone, isolated, nor stranded. She opens her mouth only to say what is best, Not questioning her husband when he makes a request. She takes care of herself and never ceases to try To beautify herself so to please his eye. She is a pl

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 10th day of Safar (Sunday 27th Sept. 2020). *_ARE WE PRACTICING THE SUNNAH BY MOUTH OR ACTION? _*. BismilLah.  *_Keeping silent when Angry_*: The Messenger of ALLAAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: "If any of you becomes angry, let him keep silent." (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, al-Musnad, 1/329; see also Saheeh al-Jaami’, 693, 4027). This is because in most cases, the angry person loses self control and could utter words of kufr (from which we seek refuge with ALLAH), or curses, or the word of divorce (talaaq) which would destroy his home, or words of slander which would bring him the enmity and hatred of others. So, in short, keeping silent is the solution which helps one to avoid all that. This is not new to almost all readers BUT  do we implement this knowledge in our daily lives? I guess I'm right to say NO including myself, That's why ALLAH commanded us to remind each other regularly so that it can motivate

 ﷽ *Let's Change Our Mindsets About Marriage* *Episode 246* *DEAR BROTHERS,* If you're serious, take her in marriage if you're a practicing brother otherwise keep your hands AWAY from another man's future wife! There is natural hesitation sometimes associated with marriage which is meaningless. Don't make marriage a hard issue it's an easy thing to do, so either go and get married or leave her alone if you have no intentions to marry the lady. Get married, plan in a ḥalāl way and be sincere in your aim and when you're sincere in your aim, as known from Ibn Qayyim, you will find the support of Allāh عزوجل surrounding you. If you can not marry her, stop pushing her to Hellfire and consuming her precious time which she should be using in a beneficial way. Do not push someone's daughter in harm by indulging in ḥarām conversations, and keep in mind it is not lawful for you at all to speak to her in any ways which are not permitted. She's a creation of All

The Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) asked Al-'Abbās to detain Abu Sufyān at a commanding gorge to see the huge Muslim army while moving towards Mecca. When Abu Sufyān saw the Muslim tribes raising their flags while passing by him, he got astonished. When at last he saw the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) marching among the Immigrants and the supporters, he wondered at their power, saying: "O Abu Al-Fadl, the sovereignty of your cousin became too boundless." Al-'Abbas said: "It is the power of Prophethood." Sa'ad Ibn Ubādah, who was carrying the flag of the supporters, said while passing by Abu Sufyān: "Today will witness the great figh
