What is Kindness to Parents?
Abdullah ibn Umar, a leading scholar among the Prophet Muhammad sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam companions once saw a man from Yemen carrying his mother on his back and going around the Kaaba in his tawaaf. Rather than show any sign of complaint, the man was happy, repeating a line of poetry in which he likened himself to a camel his mother was mounting. The only difference is that a camel may be scared by something and go out of control. He would never go out of her control. He looked at Abdullah ibn Umar and asked him whether by so doing he discharged his debt to his mother. Ibn Umar said: “No. You have not even paid back one twinge of her Read more ...

Muslim Fathers Have to Man Up
Source : http://muslimmatters.org/ | By Yahya Whitmer
As-Salamu Alaykum,
There is an old saying that goes “It takes a village to raise a child”. To me, that statement emphasizes the tremendous impact that a child's environment and peers has on his or her development.
In a hadith narrated by Imam Muslim, the Prophet mentioned that sheep shepherds are meek and humble, whereas the caretakers of camels are proud and arrogant, indicating that these human beings are influenced by the innate character of the animals that they take care of. In commenting on this hadeeth, the Ulema have long mentioned that if people are susceptible to being Read more ...
Ramadan : Teaching Children the Five Pillars
Source: saudilife | By Aisha Al Hajjar, AMANI
TEACHING deen (religion) to our children is a huge obligation upon all parents. Generally, Muslim children begin to imitate the movements of salat (daily prayers) long before they are able to speak a word, let alone understand its significance or recite surats (verses of Quran), masha’Allah. In fact, as soon as they are able to crawl (9 or 10 months old), children of practicing Muslims will typically attempt to make sujoud (prostration) when they hear, “Allahu Akhbar (meaning Allah is the Greatest, the opening phrase of the daily salat),” or see the prayer rug put down.
As they begin to master speech Read more ...
Give your Child a Good & Meaningful Muslim Name
It's always a joy when Allah blesses you with a child. Children bring great happiness, but also trials and responsibilities. One of the very first duties you have toward your new child, besides physical care and love, is to give your child a meaningful Muslim name.
It's narrated from Abu Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) that The Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection you will be called by your names and by your father's names, so give yourselves good names." [Abu Dawud: Book 41, Hadith 4930]
When choosing a name for a boy, Muslims have several choices. It is recommended to name a boy in a way that Read more ...
Picture Perfect : A righteous child prays…
Abu Hurayrah quoted the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) as saying, "When a man dies, his acts come to an end, except in three cases: an ongoing charity, knowledge from which people continue to benefit, and a RIGHTEOUS CHILD WHO PRAYS FOR HIM."
- [Sahih Muslim, vol. 3, p.867, no. 4005, and Sunan Abu Dawud, vol. 2, p.812, no.2874] Read more ...
The Manners of Welcoming the New-Born Child in Islam
The Manners of Welcoming the New-Born Child in Islam
by Abu Rumaysah
Children are a source of delight and an adornment for the world granted by Allah to their parents, they give vigour to the hearts, joy to the souls, pleasure to the eyes. They are the fruit from whom good is to be hoped for when they frequently supplicate:
"Our Lord! Bestow on them your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small."
and they are the ones in every nation upon whom hope for the future lies, and they are the youth of tomorrow upon whose shoulders the call to Islam is carried. Indeed Islam has indeed elevated the status of children and has laid down manners for their treatment Read more ...
Motherhood
It is the right of your mother that you should appreciate that she carried you [in her womb] the way nobody carries anybody, She fed you the fruits of her heart which nobody feeds anybody. She protected you [during pregnancy] with her ears, eyes, hands, legs, hair, limbs, [in short] with her whole being, gladly, cheerfully, and carefully; suffering patiently all the worries, pains, difficulties, and sorrows.
Till Allah removed you from her and brought you into this world. Then she was most happy, feeding you forgetting her own hunger, clothing you even if she herself had no clothes, giving you milk and water not caring for her own thirst, keeping you in Read more ...
Goodbye My Beloved
Goodbye My Beloved
- Extracted from a Khutbah by Muhammad Alshareef
Usama ibn Zaid radi Allahu anhu narrated in a hadith that: "We were with the Prophet when suddenly there came to him a messenger from one of his daughters who was asking him to come and see her son who was dying. The Prophet said (to the messenger), "Go back and tell her that whatever Allah takes is His, and whatever He gives is His, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in This world). So order her to be patient and hope for Allah's reward." But she sent the messenger to the Prophet again, swearing that he should come to her. So the Prophet got up, and so did Sa'd bin 'Ubada Read more ...
