Maintaining the ties of kinship Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds [i.e., people]. Peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone who has no partner and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger.  One of the dearest acts of worship, righteous deeds, the highest in ranks, the greatest in blessing, and the more beneficial in the world as well as in the Hereafter is maintaining the ties of worship. Kinship are the relatives of a person such as his parents, his son, his [...]

Here is the news which you have been waiting so long knocking at your door. And here is the sentence which you always dreamt that a doctor repeats to you: "Congratulation, you are pregnant" to convey this news to your beloved husband so that you can share joy together and share the preparation to welcome the new guest. It is your excessive joy and happiness that you always dreamt of since you were young. You were stumble while carrying your little doll, teaching it innocently to call you "mummy." You used to hug it softly and put it to sleep in [...]

Away from his widowed mother, his beloved grandfather, and his honorable family, he was left, far in the desert with a poor family to learn his language skills from their purest origins. That was the first childhood memories of our prophet Muhammad-may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him, which has always sounded harsh to me as harsh as when little Jane Eyre was sent to Lowood Institution, and when Oliver Twist was misplaced in the workhouse. However, growing up as a mother of a boy myself, I learned how a mother love can spoil rather than teach. I [...]

Family May thousands of blessings be upon the Holy Prophet (sallallaho alaihi wasallam), a mercy for the worlds, and blessings also upon the true religion of Allah revealed to him. Islam has brought the world out of darkness by establishing the criterion of right and wrong and has taught respect for others. It has established justice and enjoined the rights of women and men as being duties to be performed by each. Islam has bestowed freedom and independence upon women and has also conferred upon them full ownership and authority over their lives and property, like it has upon men. No one, [...]

My honorable sister and kind mother! How hard are the pains you have endured during pregnancy, at the moment of giving birth to your baby and throughout your life span, which you have sacrificed for your baby's upbringing. May Allah accept all your deeds and may He them wholly devoted to His Service! My sister, this is your daughter growing up gradually before your eyes and I know well that you wish her all that is good, as it is said: there is no one loves others more than himself except his children. Therefore, Satan beguiles the mother into believing that [...]

Now, I will  mention to  you  the commentary of  the following verse  of the  Qur’an Majid as explained by  Allamah Alusi  As-sayed Mahmood Baghdadi  (Rahmatullah Alaihe) in his commentary, Ruhul Ma’aani. Allah Ta'ala states, Fear Allah Ta'ala by whose intermediary you ask people for your rights and be cautious regarding the rights of blood relatives - fulfill their rights. Fear Allah Ta’ala. It should not happen that due to breaking ties with any blood relative, your duas are not accepted. On the plains of Arafat, Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) made dua and said, “Whoever has  broken any  ties of kinship should join it, otherwise due  to him, his dua  as well as [...]

Islam legislates that Muslims should appreciate the virtue and rights of creation who grant them favors, especially and foremost the mother Who endures hardships after hardships and strives hard in the service and rearing of her children. Also, the father strives hard to rear his children, filling their life with love and care, spending on them and supporting them financially and emotionally. Moreover, admitting to the favors one receives is made more perfect by striving hard to return the favor in kind. In contrast, one's ignorance in and neglect of the rights of those who grant him favors, are some of [...]

To make sure that we affect them, we should follow the teacher of humanity, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), who was teaching his companions and the Muslims and directing them in many ways, such as (but not for limitation): Excitement by asking a question and then answering it: As prophet peace be upon him: (Do you know who is the bankrupt?) Attract their attention by a question, by using the opening: "Should not I tell you": As prophet peace be upon him used to say:(Should not I tell you about the best people?), (Should not I tell you [...]

When you choose to be a husband, you sign implicitly on a double responsibility: of being a husband and of being a father. It is a pledge between you and the Lord of the world that must be fulfilled from the very beginning. If you begin a good start and accept that trust with contentment and desire to fulfill it, you will find the matter easy and desirable to you, moreover you shall be helped by Allah in all your steps; just dedicate your intention to Allah in order to make your offspring good and beneficial to the nation. Fatherhood is [...]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We have in the Sunnah of our Messenger, sallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, a good example to follow. He, sallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, taught his companions the deen of Allah in the best of ways. We can gain insights into the best teaching methods by examining his life. Here are some examples: Speaking concisely The Prophet spoke in a very easy and understandable manner.  Because of this, his companions were able to memorize many of his teachings. The Prophet’s wives, Aishah, said that he “used to speak so clearly that if somebody wanted to count the number of his words, he could do [...]
