For Ladies: Have a Good Day the Islamic Way

A Blessed Morning

For ladies, having a good day in the Islamic way is a good place to start with. Wake up in the morning with gratitude in your heart.

Express gratitude that all your limbs and faculties are intact and that Allah has blessed you with another day to serve Him.

You could’ve woken up with a bad headache or aches and pains, but if your health is in order, give abundant praise.

Gratitude promotes abundance in one’s life, as Allah states in the Quran:

“If you are grateful [to Me], I shall most certainly give you more and more.”(Quran 14: 7)

Make an intention to spend the day in Allah’s obedience.

Thus, refrain from sin and any haram acts that may severe your relationship with Allah, and ask Him to grant you the ability to serve Him well.

Sacrificing the comfort of a warm bed to worship Allah is one of the most beautiful ways to express your love for Him.

So strive to make the Tahajjud (late-night prayers) prayers a priority in your day.

There are enormous blessings bestowed at this special time when Allah draws His servants so near and graciously grants them whatever they desire.

Even if you wake just 20 minutes before Fajr (dawn), pray it. Try not to skip it.

If you have little kids who often clamor over you while you pray, Fajr may be one of the prayers that you are able to perform with concentration and devotion.

Therefore, take advantage of this opportunity to offer a beautiful prayer to your Lord and be spiritually rejuvenated in return. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

“Whoever performs the prayer before the rising of the sun (Fajr) and before its setting (‘Asr), will not enter Hell.” (Muslim)

If possible, complete as much Quran reading and dhikr at this time as the blessings of it will be scattered throughout your day.

The Prophet (PBUH) has stated that if a person recites surah Yaseen (chapter 36) early in the morning, then his needs for the day will be fulfilled (Mishkat).

Remember, You Are the Heart

There is a popular saying that, “The father may be the head of the house, but the mother is the heart.”

Mothers  are the ones who set the emotional tone in a house.  So wake up your kids in a pleasant manner.

Kids, especially little ones, crave loving connections, and a loving mother is a beautiful mother.

While mothers usually have a load on their minds in the morning, strive to give your kids a good dose of positive attention, as this will foster co-operation.

Our Prophet (PBUH) was very affectionate, merciful, and even playful with kids, and he set the best and most beautiful example for us.

With this in mind, when waking them up, climb into bed and snuggle with them for a few moments, fill their emotional cups, and just enjoy seeing their fresh little faces.

A scholar once made a profound statement when he said that there is little difference between a Muslim mother and an atheist mother.

They both have similar mundane tasks for the day, except that the Muslim mother has the opportunity to spend her entire day remembering Allah.

Therefore, keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah. As you pack lunches, get the bags ready, and let your heart find contentment in Allah’s remembrance for verily, in the remembrance of Allah, do hearts find rest. (Quran 13:28)

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
