  Moral Vaccination! When a family gets a new baby, almost immediately after the congratulations, they take the baby to the doctor to get the vaccine shots. There is a vaccine against measles, against diphtheria, and polio....etc. Why do they do that? Because the vaccine will give the child immunity against those diseases. Someone might ask, since these babies are at home and are not exposed to the infections, why then do they need the vaccination so early. The answer is that it is important to give the  immunity before exposure to infection, so that later on when they are exposed to the infection, they would have acquired the immunity and they would resist that disease. We are not only bodies but we have souls, and morality . There are moral illnesses and they are contagious. So this medical principle of early immunization also applies to the moral state of our souls. We need a  moral vaccination to immunize the souls to be able to resist ...

One of the main reasons for the spread of this phenomenon is that some parents oppressively prevent their daughters from marrying suitable young men, despite the fact that the Prophet, said: "If a man whose religion and manners you approve of comes to you (proposing to your daughter), then give her in marriage to him, otherwise, there will be turmoil on the earth and great corruption." [At-Tirmidhi & Ibn Maajah]   Some fathers breached the trust from Allaah which they have carried regarding their daughters by preventing them from marriage. It may be that a young man comes to them asking for their daughter and they delay or prohibit him for no reason, citing baseless excuses, it may be that their criteria for acceptance is trivial, such as how much his salary is, or what his career aspirations are, while at the same time totally disregarding his practice of the religion, manners and honesty. Indeed some fathers see their daughters as a piece of me...

Prophet Muhammad (sas) said: "Even a smile is charity." Humor in Hadith 6/30/2008 - Humor - Article Ref: IC0806-3605 Number of comments: 4 By: Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq IslamiCity* - Humor in Hadith 6/30/2008 - Humor - Article Ref: IC0806-3605 Number of comments: 4 By: Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq IslamiCity* - Since Islam is defined as way of life the scope of Islam and life should be fully convergent. As Islam is based on human nature, it also fully takes into account that nature, in its entire dimension. As a reflection of many different types of extremities among us as Muslims, some have divorced Islam in search of their jest and fun. Others, due to their "love" for Islam, have purified Islam and their life from any humorous dimension: So, no fun or humor. The latter group is petrified by a reminder from the Prophet Muhammad , "O followers of Muhammad! By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh little." [Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, #...

Reminder Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah Reference: Fawaa`id ul Fawaa`id of Ibn ul Qayim - Page 384 There are ten things you will never find benefit in: The First: Knowledge which is void of action. The Second: Actions which are void of sincerity to Allah, and void of exemplification of the Sunnah. (Note: These two conditions constitute the act being accepted by Allah i.e. Ikhlaas and Ittiba`a) The Third: Wealth which is not spent in the way of Allah, so the one who exhausted all of his energy amassing it will not benefit from it in this life, nor will he see the fruits of it in the hereafter. The Fourth: A heart which is void of the love of Allah and the ardent desire to meet him. The Fifth: A body which is void of obedience to Allah. The Sixth: A love for other than Allah which is void of any boundaries. (i.e. unconditional) The Seventh: Time which is void of benefit and the individual does not take advantage of it to do actions which would bring him closer to Allah. The Eigh...

Researcher Michele Clements found that playing a lullaby, or calming music by Vivaldi and Mozart soothed 4 to 5 month-old fetuses but loud and discordant music disturbed and upset them. Th...

What is the ruling on a father preventing his daughter from marrying who she wants? Question: Some fathers prevent their daughters from marrying someone who is compatible with them. What is the ruling on this? What is the daughters' position? Answer: Praise be to Allaah. This question was put to Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him), who said: This is a serious issue and a major problem. Some men – we seek refuge with Allaah – betray Allaah and betray their trust, and cause problems for their daughters. The guardian is obliged to do that which pleases Allaah and His Messenger. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): " And marry those among you who are single (i.e. a man who has no wife and the woman who has no husband)" – i.e., give your daughters in marriage – "and (also marry) the Saalihoon (pious, fit and capable ones) of your (male) slaves and maid-servants (female slaves). " [al-Noor 24:32] The Prophet (peace and...

Assalamaualaikum A single pious, practicing woman is equal to 70 saints (aulia ekraam ) A single bad (evil) woman is equal to 1000 bad men . Two rakaats namaaz of an aalimah woman are better than 80 rakaats of ordinary women .. A breastfeeding woman gets one good for each drop of milk that is fed to the child. When a husband comes home full of worries and the wife extends warm welcome to him and consoles him; she receives the reward of half jihad A woman, who is deprived of sleep owing to her child crying at night, receives the sawaab of freeing 20 slaves. When a husband and a wife look at each other with love and affection, Allah Paak himself looks at both of them with love and affection. A woman who sends out her husband in the path of Allah and stays at home by herself, maintaining her honour and dignity ( i.e. protecting her against temptation and dishonesty) will enter jannat ...

Dear son/daughter... The day that you see me old, have patience and try to understand me. If I get dirty when eating.....if I can not dress.....have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things a thousand and one times.....do not interrupt me.....listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you a thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep...... When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me.... Remember when I had to chase you with a thousand excuses I invented, so that you would want to bath....... When you see my ignorance on new technologies. give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile...... I taught you how to do so many things.....to eat good, to dress well......to confront life....... When at some moment I lose my memory or the thread of our conversation. let me have the necessary time to remember....and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous.......

Two Paths, Two Aims, But What Kind of Friend? H ARUN Y AHYA Have We not given him two eyes…and shown him the two highways (Surat al-Balad; 8,10) All human beings seek a true friend . They look for people to share their happiness with, who will support them in times of trouble, who will show them solutions when they can find none, who will love them unconditionally, be loyal to them, protect them, treat their errors gently, and who will not abandon them when they are ill, in the same way that they will not abandon them when they are healthy, or when they grow old. However, a person has two ways of finding such a friend. One of these is the way of the Compassionate One, a requirement of Qur'anic moral values and the path chosen by believers who seek solely the approval of Allah. The other is the way of friends who seek to serve only their worldly interests, a path based on advantage. In this article, in which we look at the reasons underlying these two states of affairs, we reveal ...
