respecting mothers and mothers status in Islam.

 We should respect our mothers as Allah has said that jannat lies beneath the feet of mothers. Allah has said it and our Holy Prophet Muhammad has also said that mother's rights and respect are three times that of our fathers. Hence mothers are exalted in Islam. Mothers are given special treatment in Islam.

Mothers bear children and they bear labour pain of child birth with patience, great pain and sabr. That's why Islam has given special status to mothers. Not only child birth but in our early stages of child hood, throughout our adolescence until we become adults our mothers are our huge supporters and caretakers. 

In the end what i would like to say is that we should take care of our mothers especially in their old age and not send them to old homes.

about keeping fast without eating sehri

 The Concern: Today I woke up after the time for suhoor (sehri) and wondering if I still have the obligation to keep my fast for Ramadan? How does not waking up affect my Niyyah for fasting? The instruction from the Qur’an is quite clear regarding fasting. In Surah Baqarah it says, يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ “O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous –” See: All Verses From Qur’an About Ramadan There is no mention in hadith or Qur’an which says, if one does not wake up for sehri they are exempt from fasting that day. If a Muslim does not eat suhoor, this is not a valid reason for being excused from fasting. There are only a few cases where one is excused from fasting and we discuss them here. Yes I know… I think we can all agree that missing the window for sehri will be a more challenging test. But it...

Importance of Niyat (Intention in Islam)

  Since intention ( niyyah ) is the criterion of value in every act including worship, it is the first obligatory act in prayer. Considering its importance, a separate and lengthy chapter has been included for the examination of its dimensions, with the hope that by doing so, we would succeed in giving more value to all devotional acts. Intention (niyyah) as the criterion of value The element that gives importance to a person’s action is his intention, motive or objective. So, in the verses of the Qur’an, the phrase “in the way of Allah” ( f i  sab i lill a h ) is often used (seventy times), and thus a warning for people to ensure that their actions and intentions be in the way of God, and not for the sake of other than God or their own carnal desires. Like a dangerous read in which many signboards have been set up, servitude of God is also like a way which has many precipices; and all of these emphasizes is a warning for avoiding deviations. This is particularly true with res...

About Jealousy and back biting in Islam

 One shouldnt be jealous of one another as we should see people below us in abilities, wealth, intelligence, looks and socio economic status. Allah has blessed everyone with his blessings and for some he has given more and for some a little less in wealth. We shouldnt compare each other and be jealous of someone who has more than us. If Allah made every one rich then there wouldnt be any people working as janitors, sweepers, drivers, peons and servants etc and in this way the system of Allah wont work in this world. About back biting Islam said that backbiting is the same as eating your dead brothers flesh which you will surely abhor. Back biting is a social evil as all those things said behind someone's back if he/she would mind it said in front of him then we shouldnt say it behind his/ her back which is a major sin in Islam.  In the end what I would like to say is that Surah Falaq should be recited in order to get protection from the evil eyes of jealousy.
