 *Buy Enough Time*

[[--13th Show--]]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Even the laws in Islam came to us bit-by-bit. For instance, during jahileeyyah (before the prophethood of Muhammad - pbuh), People were drinking alcohol. So, if the prohibition came that people should stop drinking alcohol COMPLETELY, it will be difficult for them to practice Islam. So, the first prohibition for alcohol drinking was - *"Don't drink while you want to pray"* - and jahileeyyah people at that time used to drink few hours before swalah time.. Then, Allah (swt) revealed the final laws for prohibition of alcohol drinking, which is - *"Don't drink alcohol at all, for any reason"* - A verse in Surarul Baqarah and Suratul Maidah is prove for these... Allahu Akbar!

This is telling us that, it's not easy to change someone's behaviors within a tinkle of an eye. Yes. Some of your spouse's undesirable behaviors will go off completely, but it will take little time.

So,

If your spouse is having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 undesirable behaviors and you insist that those undesirable behaviors should ALL vanish before you open eyes and close it, then, you will be a dreamer. It will be very difficult to achieve that.

After all,

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet (pbuh) said, “The believer who mixes with people and is patient with their harm has a greater reward than the believer who does not mix with people, nor is patient with their harm.” 📚Sunan Ibn Ma‌jah 4032

My People!

If you have exhausted all the workable methods and yet, nothing is working between the two of you regarding "effective communication", then, something might be wrong somewhere.

Now,

Continuation of the previous episodes - as promised:

*Why Your Spouse Doesn't Listen:*

*Problem No 3:* Bringing Up Old Baggage

If there’s something that happened years ago that’s still eating at you, please set aside a *"separate"* time to discuss it.

But,

Forming the habit of *"Bringing Up Old Baggage"* each time you want the attention of your spouse will make them turn you out. Yes. Any conversations about topics or issues that have been discussed at length previously but keep getting brought up again (and again), may cause a spouse to tune out.

If you keep raising old issues or topics, consider why you're doing this. Are there lingering issues that need to be resolved? Is there something you can't forgive, solve, or let go? If so, have that talk, and then put the issue to rest.

It's good to note that,

When we constantly remind our spouses of all the times they let us down or hurt us, we have not truly forgiven.

👉🏼Al-Shafi’i, (r.a) wrote in his poetry, “When I forgave and stopped holding malice against anyone, I relieved my soul of the worries of enmity.” 📚Source: Di‌wa‌n al-Sha‌fiʻi‌ 31

Therefore,

Things that happened in the past must be left there and not be used as fresh reference in new situations. Bringing up old disagreements during a fight simply makes your partner feel trapped and helpless. Drop what’s been and gone and try focussing on the present issue causing your relationship conflict, and you will get a desired results.

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.
