CONSISTENCY IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AFTER DIVORCE IN ISLAM

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 8th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 22nd July, 2026. *_CONSISTENCY IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AFTER DIVORCE IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuh. A kind clarification: to those who know me personally, especially regarding my ongoing divorce topic. Please know that my Islamic reminders are never based on my personal experiences or directed at anyone. I simply share whatever beneficial topic comes to mind. If a reminder happens to relate to someone's situation, it is purely coincidental. ALLAH (عز وجل) is my Witness that I never intend to target or indirectly address anyone. Back to our topic... One of the greatest responsibilities that remains after divorce is the father's continuous financial support for his children. Divorce ends the marital relationship, but it never ends a father's obligation towards his children.  ALLAH Azzawajal says: "Mothers may breastfeed their children f...

AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (III)

 FAJR REMINDER: AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (III) By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 7, 1448 (22-July-2026) Another aspect of denying Allāh’s Perfect Names and Attributes is to ascribe to others an Attribute that belongs exclusively to Him. Among these exclusive Attributes is the knowledge of the Ghayb (the unseen or hidden). This is a quality that no one possesses except Allāh. He (ﷻ) says: “And with Him are the keys to the Ghayb (all that is hidden), none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is on the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in a Clear Record.” [Sūrah Al-An’ām (6): 59] The knowledge of the unseen is one of the matters that Allāh has reserved for Himself alone. However, out of His Wisdom, He may reveal whatever portion of it He wills to His chosen Messengers through Revelation. This is not because they possess independent knowledge of the unseen, but be...

AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (II)

 FAJR REMINDER: AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (II) By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 6, 1448 (21-July-2026) The true reality of Allāh’s Attributes is beyond the complete comprehension of the human mind. We affirm them according to their apparent meanings in a manner that befits His Majesty, while leaving the knowledge of their exact reality to Allāh Alone. It is a grave error and a form of misguidance to divert the words that Allāh used to describe His Attributes from their established meanings in the Arabic language to obscure or unintended interpretations. For example, Allāh (ﷻ) says: “The Most Beneficent (Allāh) Istawā (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).” [Sūrah Ta-Ha (20): 5]  It is incorrect to reinterpret Istawā (meaning ascension) as Istīlā' (meaning to take over). Shaykh Muḥammad ‘Amīn Ash-Shanqītī (Raḥimahullāh) said: “This type of interpretation of the Divine Attributes is a form of distortion.” [Minhāj wa Dirāsāt li Ayāt al-Asmā' wa aṣ-Ṣ...

DOES THE WIFE HAVE A RIGHT TO COMPENSATION AFTER THE DIVORCE?

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum athalaatha | 7th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 21st July, 2026. *_DOES THE WIFE HAVE A RIGHT TO COMPENSATION AFTER THE DIVORCE_*?. BismilLah.  The wife has a right to: Any unpaid mahr (dowry) regardless of how the marriage ended. Maintenance during her ʿiddah time. Payment for breastfeeding, if she breastfeeds after divorce. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "If they breastfeed your children for you, then give them their payment." (Qur'an 65:6). She does not automatically have a right to: Ongoing financial support simply because she is divorced (after the end of her ʿiddah, unless she is pregnant, in which case maintenance continues until delivery) and continues during breastfeeding and child's maintenance.  The Father's Responsibilities Continue even after divorce if children are involved. The father must continue to provide for his children through her. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "...Upon the father is the mothers' provision and thei...

AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (I)

 FAJR REMINDER: AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (I) By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 5, 1448 (20-July-2026) The third category of the nullifiers of Islām and Eemān is DENIAL OF SOME OR ALL OF ALLĀH’S NAMES OR HIS ATTRIBUTES. Allāh has affirmed for Himself many beautiful Names and perfect Attributes in the Noble Qur'ān and through the authentic Aḥadīth of His Messenger (ﷺ). Among these are His Knowledge, Strength, Power, Glory, Greatness, Will, Desire, Intent, Pleasure, Displeasure, Hearing, Sight, Speech, Mercy, Watchfulness, Face, Hands, Leg, His Establishment over His Throne or His Transcendence over it, His Descent to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, and many others. A true believer must affirm all of these Names and Attributes as they have been revealed, while believing that they are unique to Allāh’s Majesty and Perfection and bear no resemblance to the attributes of His creation. They are neither comparable nor similar in any way. As Allāh (ﷻ) says: “…There is ...

CAN THE WIFE SEEK COMPENSATION AFTER THE DIVORCE AND CAN SHE KEEP THE CHILDREN IF SHE WISH?

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum al-ithnayn | 6th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Monday, 20th July, 2026. *_CAN THE WIFE SEEK COMPENSATION AFTER THE DIVORCE AND CAN SHE KEEP THE CHILDREN IF SHE WISH?_*. BismilLah.  First of all, it's important to note that, if you claim to be Muslim then you must abide by the complete rules of Islam or Shariah without any BUT OR WHY unless if you only wanted to be educated.  The issues of child custody and financial compensation after divorce are treated separately in Islamic law. The guiding principles are the best interests of the child, justice, and the rights that ALLAH Azzawajal has assigned to each party. 1. Who Has the Right to Keep the Children? In general, the mother has the strongest right to physical custody of young children, provided she is: A practicing Muslim. Of sound mind, Trustworthy and able to care for the child, Not placing the children in harm etc. The father, however, remains responsible for the child's financial maintena...

Don't Forget This [[--Episode 5--]]

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 5--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم My Brother, My Sister! This is not just a story. This is for you, right now. Let us think about two simple but huge truths. *Truth No 1: Your Life is Already Written.* Your provision (your Rizq) – your food, your money, your job, your spouse – and everything that will happen to you, was written by Allah (swt) even before you were born. So, no matter what happens, you will always receive the Rizq that Allah has destined for you. Yes. You will not get less, and you will not get more. It is fixed. But wait! Does this mean making Du'a (duplication to Allah) is useless? No. Not at all. This is the beautiful secret. Your provisions and the Du'a you make are both part of Allah's plan (Qadr). Allah (swt), in His perfect knowledge, has written: "If My servant asks Me for this thing, I will give it to him. And if he does not ask Me, I will not give it to him." So, you see? The Du'a you ma...

Don't Forget This [[--Episode 4--]]

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 4--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Allah (swt) put Prophet Adam (A.S.) and his wife in Paradise. Shaytan came and whispered a lie. He said, “Eat this fruit, and you will live here forever.” Adam listened to that whisper and ate it. What happened? Allah (swt) did not let them stay forever. They had to leave Paradise and come down to Earth. This shows us one big truth: *Shaytan’s promises are always lies.* He promises good things, but the result is always loss. Shaytan is still doing the same trick with us. When he wants you to do something wrong, he will put sweet lies in your heart, such as: (1) “Do it, nobody is watching you.” (It's a Lie: Allah (swt) is always watching). (2) “Don’t worry, Allah (swt) is most forgiving, so just do it.” (It's a Lie: Allah forgives those who repent before they do wrong, not those who use His mercy as an excuse to sin). (3) “Go to fortune-tellers or use charms to fix your problems, and repent later....

THE DANGER OF REJECTING ALLĀH’S LAW

 FAJR REMINDER: THE DANGER OF REJECTING ALLĀH’S LAW By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 4, 1448 (19-July-2026) Another aspect of Shirk (associating partners with Allāh) that nullifies one’s Islām and Eemān is preferring to rule by, or willingly accepting, laws other than those revealed by Allāh while believing that His Laws are unsuitable, outdated, or no better than man-made laws that contradict them. Such a belief reflects a dangerous preference for the rulings of human beings over the perfect Judgment of Allāh. Whoever believes that it is preferred to govern people's affairs, settle disputes, or implement punishments using laws other than the Sharī'ah—even while acknowledging that the Sharī'ah is superior—has declared lawful what Allāh has unanimously forbidden. Such a belief constitutes one of the nullifiers of Islām.” Allāh (ﷻ) says: “...And who is better in judgment than Allāh for a people who have firm faith.” [Sūrah Al-Mā’idah (5): 50] Sadly, this misconception has become evident a...

CAN THE WIFE SEEK OR INITIATE A DIVORCE?

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul Ahad | 5th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Sunday, 19th July, 2026. *_CAN THE WIFE SEEK OR INITIATE A DIVORCE?_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.  Islam gives a wife the right to seek or initiate the end of a marriage when there is a VALID REASONS. This can happen through several means, the most well-known being khulʿ (where the wife requests a divorce, often by returning the mahr) or through an Islamic judge or authority who can dissolve the marriage. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "...If you fear that they will not be able to keep within the limits of ALLAH, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself..." (Qur'an 2:229). This verse is the foundation for khulʿ, where a wife seeks release from the marriage. The Sunnah Confirms This Right. The wife of Thabit ibn Qays came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of ALLAH, I do not fault Thabit in his religion or character, but I dislike remaining with him (as ...

THE BLESSINGS OF A PEACEFUL DIVORCE IN ISLAM

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum As-sabt | 4th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Saturday, 18th July, 2026. *_THE BLESSINGS OF A PEACEFUL DIVORCE IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH Azzawajal has actually promised to bless both couples After a peaceful Separation. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "But if they separate, ALLAH will enrich each of them from HIS abundance. And ALLAH is Ever-Encompassing and Wise." (Qur'an 4:130). Lesson Divorce is not always the end of happiness. Sometimes separation is ALLAH'S Mercy, opening doors to peace, healing, and better opportunities for both spouses. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "...And do not forget graciousness between yourselves. Indeed, ALLAH sees whatever you do." (Qur'an 2:237). Lesson Even after divorce, remember the years of companionship, children, sacrifices, and kindness. Avoid insulting or exposing one another's faults. ALLAH Azzawajal repeatedly reminds believers in the verses on divorce: "...And whoever fears ALLAH, HE will m...

THE ELOQUENT VOICE OF ISLĀM

 FAJR REMINDER: THE ELOQUENT VOICE OF ISLĀM By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 3, 1448 (18-July-2026) This morning, let us reflect on another remarkable man whose heart was opened to Islām through the recitation of the Qur'ān. Allāhu Akbar! He was Thābit Ibn Qays Al-Anṣārī (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu). Thābit belonged to the Khazraj tribe. When the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Muṣ‘ab Ibn ‘Umayr (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) to call the people of Madīnah to Islām, Thābit listened to his recitation of the Qur'ān. The beauty of Muṣ‘ab’s voice, together with the calm and captivating rhythm of his recitation, deeply moved him. More importantly, the powerful message of the Qur'ān touched his heart and mind, leading him to embrace Islām. Thus, he became one of the earliest Muslims in Madīnah. Thābit was blessed with exceptional eloquence and was widely admired for his powerful voice and outstanding speaking ability. Along with his natural talent, he possessed a sincere heart and remarkable wisdom in dealing with people and di...

Don't Forget This [[--Episode 3--]]

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 3--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Dear servants of Allah. Our life here on earth is short. It is only a trial. Think of Allah (swt) as a wise teacher. This teacher wants to see which students work hard and which are lazy. So, he prepares regular tests. Why? So that no student can later say, "You were unfair to us. You favored one student over another." Also, tests push us to prepare and study well. A wise teacher also gives different tests to different classes. A young student is not tested like an older student. Allah (swt) is the most fair and wise. He will test each person according to what they have been given. A student should never question the teacher's reasons for making the test. They should only focus on answering the questions. Similarly, we should not tell Allah (swt) how to test us. My trials are different from yours. Your trials are different from mine. That is because Allah (swt) created us, and He knows exac...
