Three Daughters

 *Three Daughters*


*On Eid this year, I gifted my three girls this personalised wall art set with their names and the Hadith of the prophet (s):*


*“Whoever has three daughters and he accommodates them, shows mercy towards them and supports them; then they will be his shield from the hellfire on the day of resurrection”*

🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽


*We put these up on the wall that seperates their rooms; so they see it all the time and are reminded of the honour it is for us, their parents, to have them and their status in Islam.*


*When people ask me how many kids I have and I tell them “3 girls”; it’s (still) almost always followed by an awkward pause, a delayed “Aww mashallah” or “Try for a boy”… a new one the other day said “How sad for your husband he doesn’t have anyone to play football with”, to which I replied “Don’t worry, he doesn’t play football.”*

🤣🤣


*I hope my girls grow up in a time where they don’t hear such comments, it reminds me of the days of Jahilyah…and those days are scary as…*


*Whatever children Allah blesses you with, girls only, boys only, boys and girls, or no kids >>> it’s ALL khair for you because what Allah Chooses is the best always Alhamdulilah…*


*If you knew the ilm of the unseen; you wouldn’t choose for yourself any different… I believe this wholeheartedly… and for this I’m forever grateful, Alhamdulilah, for my precious rizq that is my daughters…*


*When I hear people say these comments I honestly feel so sorry for them… In my head, I think, “What cultural conditioning have you poor soul been conditioned with?!”… And I make dua for their healing… because for anyone to think a gender is better than another is a troubled person with wrong and unislamic beliefs…*


*May Allah Almighty guide and protect all our children… the boys and the girls.* Ameen

🤲🏽

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 ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...

BELIEF IN PRE-DECREE (al-Qadar) CREATES PEACE IN OUR HEART continues

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 26th day of Swafar 1447AH, Wednesday, 20th August 2025. *_BELIEF IN PRE-DECREE (al-Qadar) CREATES PEACE IN OUR HEART continues_*. BismilLah.  For the past few days, we have been reminding ourselves that calamities in our lives can also be blessings in disguise. Let's continue with some of the wisdom behind calamities:  10. Another reason behind calamities and hardship is that a person becomes able to distinguish between true friends and friends who only have their own interests at heart. You may be so close to a colleague but wait for a calamity to you to see his or her real nature.  11. Calamities remind us of our sins so that we can repent from them.  ALLAH Azzawajal says:  “Whatever of good reaches you, is from ALLAH, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself” [al-Nisa’ 4:79]. “And whatever misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much” [al-Shoora 42:30]. Calamitie...
