DEAR HOMEMAKER

 *DEAR HOMEMAKER,*


As the situation is getting thougher, pls improve your home management techniques. I'm not talking to the 'haves', biko if u are rich keep scrolling, no need to read this post.


TIPS


1. Please Avoid surfing the Internet or SM while in the kitchen, this isn't the time for a badly cooked/burnt food. There are many resources involved. 


2. As d price of gas isn't smiling, try to cook harder foods with charcoal, it will go a long way. 


3. Better still, you can alternate your cookings with gas and coal, it cooks really fast if u master the art. Also, use hotplate or electric cooker if u have frequent electric supply. 


4. If ur husband ask you to move from a 3/2 bedroom to a 1bedroom flat, my dear pls comply. Having a roof over ur head is more important than the space. 


5. Revise your meal timetable to fit the type of food u can afford at the moment. 


6. Spend less on wardrobe. U see those shoes and bags from Turkey, Dubai or Malaysia, its not the time to buy them. Yes, I know they are very beautiful and tempting as well but pls, hold on! 


7. Don't go out excessively, limit your outings. It saves fuel and of course money. 


8. Reduce long phone calls and long SM engagements, save credit, save data - save money. 


9. Train ur kids to adopt to the situation, with discipline and love. 


10. Ignore the above if your husband spends his money on side-chicks, show him d art of extravagance instead. But don't forget to be wise!


Yours truly,

Sadiya Abubakar Isa

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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
