 ﷽ *40 Hadīths For Children With Stories* *Episode 8: Tooth Medicine* One day a very well-dressed stranger went to a restaurant in town. He told the waiter: "I would like some well-done roast beef and some salad, please." As soon as he bit his first piece, he screamed with pain: "Ahhhh! My tooth is hurting again!" Another stranger approached, holding a large bag in his hand. He took a small bottle from his bag. He poured some liquid onto a piece of cotton and handed it to the man in pain. "Swipe this cotton on your aching tooth," he said. The man did as he was told. Suddenly, he exclaimed: "Strange! I don't feel the pain anymore!" Everyone gathered around the man with the large bag asking to buy that wonderful drug. The bottles in his bag were soon sold out. An hour later, the man with the toothache and the man with the bag met at the railway station. They discussed how profitable their business had been in that town and congratulated one ano...

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 ple...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 9th day of Safar (Saturday 26th Sept. 2020). *_HOW CAN WE BENEFIT FROM FORGIVING OTHERS_*. BismilLah.  Earning ALLAH’s pleasure; When we are preoccupied with the wrongs others have committed against us, we lose focus of one of the most beautiful ways to get closer to ALLAH. The Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “There was a merchant who used to extend credit to people. If he found one of his customers to be in difficulties he would say to his assistants: “Forgive them their debt, perhaps ALLAH will forgive us.” ALLAH did forgive him.” [Bukhari/Muslim].  There is a direct correlation between the ways we treat others and how ALLAH (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) treats us. We all know the Prophet’s (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) famous saying “Have mercy on those on the earth, and the One in heaven, ALLAH will have mercy on you” [Tirmidhi]. Of course, ALLAH (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) is incomparably greater and more merciful than us. Th...

﷽ *40 Hadīths For Children With Stories* *Episode 7: A Neighbour In Paradise* Once upon a time, a Sultan was walking around the cities. He had changed his clothes so that no one would recognise him and he took one of his slaves with him. He wanted to know what his people really thought about his administration. It was winter and very cold. He went into a small mosque. Two poor men were sitting in a corner, shivering. They had no place to go. The Sultan approached them, wondering what they were talking about. The funny one was complaining about the cold weather: "After I die, when we go to Paradise, I will not let our Sultan enter Paradise. If I see him approaching the gate, I will take off my shoe and hit him on the head." The second man asked, curiously: "Why would you keep our Sultan out of Paradise?" "Of course I would not let him enter. While we are freezing here, he is sitting comfortably in his warm palace; he doesn't know how we live. How can he be m...
