I’m a Woman (Muslima)

I’am a woman full of weakness
Doubtful and insecurity
Asking, searching
Why I’m like this?

Many trials came,
Difficulties in life
Disaster and doing many sins,
Why I’m like this?

So many questions, searching for answers
Why I’m like this?
Why I felt so incomplete?
What I’m looking for?

Light? Right path?
Friends? love?
Person that will guide me?
Or God?

Islam is the right path
Allah is the Only God
Who love me, who love you
Only Allah the Merciful our Creator

Women of Islam we’re not weak
No place for confusion
Be strong, have faith
Be a good Muslimah
Only Allah will guide and protect us
Walk on the right path to achieve the Paradise…

Inside of my Mother’s Womb….


First time I start to breath
My heart beats inside of you,
First time I take my food
It’s also inside of you.
You carried me for nine months
Inside your womb,
We become one
When our hearts beats together.

For a short time 
You had my body inside of you,
You carried my belly
Inside your belly too.
And now, though I have
Your heart in my heart,
I feel your soul
 Inside my soul.

You and me connected with a cord
When time I’m inside your womb.
A special rope that bond us together
Love that we shared start on your womb….

Tears of Happiness !!!


  Once there lived two brothers who lost their parents at an early age. They worked together on their family farm. Some years later, the elder married and had a family with 2 children, while the other was still single. They worked hard together in the day and at the end of each day they shared their produce equally. One day while the single brother was working in the fields, he thought to himself, “It’s not right that we share equally everything. I’m alone and my needs are simple. My brother has a big family. He needs much more.” With that in mind he took a sack full of grains and slowly went to his brother’s barn and places the sack quietly. He did so every night. Meanwhile, the married brother thought to himself, “It’s not right that we share everything equally. After all, I’m married and I have my wife and children to look after me in years to come. My brother has no family and no one can take care of his future. He really should have a bigger share.” So each night he took a bag of grain and put it into his brother’s barn quietly. This went on and both men were puzzled for years because their grain never dwindled. Then one night, on the way to each other barn, the two brothers coincidentally met and they found out what was happening all these years! They dropped their bags, cried and embraced one another with tears of happiness. 


”None of you will truly believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself”. (Al- Bukhari)


”Whoever loves for Allah’s sake, hates for Allah’s sake, gives for Allah’s sake and withholds for Allah’s sake has a perfect faith.” (Abu Dawud)

A touching love story….




    Once in a beautiful land lived a girl named Summaiyya who was married to a man called Khalil. They were both very pious and strived to make Islam a central aspect of their lives. Soon after their marriage Summaiyya felt bored staying at home; she wanted to do something for the Ummah. She loved to read and write, and would read a Hadith each day to her husband. Summaiya loved her husband deeply and treated him with kindness. She obeyed him, and, in return, her husband loved her very much. One night after dinner, she asked Khalil if it would be possible for her to work.


Khalil did not say anything. The next day however, after Fajr, she noted that he did not go into work. He had locked himself in a room without telling Summaiyya what he was doing and was making a lot of noise. After Maghrib prayer, her husband asked her to get ready. While driving he asked her what kind of books she liked to read. She told him she liked to read Islamic books relating to literature, arts, and history. Soon after, Khalil stopped his car at an Islamic bookstore and asked her to pick out some books for him. She asked him what was going on but he would not tell her anything. Next, they went to Barnes and Nobles bookstore and got many different kinds of books. Sumaiyya also picked out some Middle Eastern, Indian, and Chinese cookbooks. That evening they had dinner together at their favorite Afghan Restaurant, Zaynab’s, and afterwards went to the masjid to pray Isha Salat.

    When they returned home Khalil carried all the books they had bought earlier on in the day to his room. He asked her to go to sleep but Summaiya could hardly sleep! She was wondering what was going on and was tempted to go to the room and see but had eventually fallen asleep. At around 4am Khalil woke her up for Tahajjud prayer. Afterwards, he asked her to close her eyes and took her to the room he had been in all day, and asked her to open them. She opened her eyes and was surprised to see a beautiful small library. Her husband had made her an office at home! He had even bought her a laptop and set everything up, ready to use! Khalil turned to her and said, "O my dear wife, I love you for the sake of Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala. I am responsible for you and I want to protect you always. You have asked me for permission to work and I respect you for that, however, I want you relax at home while I go out to work. I want to give you happiness and everything you could ask for. I hope you like my gift to you. I do not want you to work for any other man but me. Still, if you feel that you want to work outside the home, then I will not stop you. It would however make me upset."

"Men are the protectors and maintainers [qawwaamoon] of women, because Allah has given the one more [strength] than the other, and because they support them from their means..." (Qur'an 4:34)

     Sumaiyya smiled and jokingly said that he can work for her. She thanked him for the office and agreed to stay at home. Every day when Khalil came home, he would find his wife engrossed in books
taking in the knowledge and wisdom that they gave her. As the months went by, she started to give him advice from what she had learned and which was to prove beneficial for his company. Khalil also taught her about his business, and even allowed her some responsibility with some of the projects at work. He in turn paid her generously for the little work he gave her every day and spent lots of time with her so that she would not feel alone. This arrangement worked successfully for both husband and wife, and in time, they had four beautiful children. One day, Khalil had a car accident. He was rushed to the hospital having suffered a knee injury. The doctors said that he would not be able to walk for at least six months or so. Sumaiyya did everything she could to take good care of her husband and the home. After a month, she felt there was a shortage of money in their bank account. She first looked for some jobs online and found a teaching position at an Islamic school. Then she wisely explained to her husband about the financial crisis they were going through and asked him if she could contribute to the household needs. After a little while, her husband agreed. Sumaiyya would work all day at the school and would then come home to take care of her children and Khalil. She would make dua for Khalil and her children every day. Very soon, her burden eased when Khalil regained his health and was able to return to work. Now that her husband had recovered from the accident, Sumaiyya was able to leave her job and stay at home to look after the children. Khalil was grateful for what she had done and thanked her for being such a wonderful and supporting wife.

Our Beloved (Sall Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) made every individual in the Islamic Society responsible for those under his or her authority in such a way that no-one, man or woman, may evade responsibility (Ideal Muslimah, 190).

He (Sall Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said: "Each of you is a shepherd, and each is responsible for those under his care. A ruler is a shepherd; a man is the shepherd of his family; a woman is the shepherd of her husband's house and children. For each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for those under his care." (Bukhari and Muslim)

He (Sall Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) indeed spoke the truth when he said: "This world is nothing but temporary conveniences, and the greatest joy in this world is a righteous woman." (Muslim 10/56)

A really good story …can touch our hearts and teach us how to become a good partner to our husband or wife…May Allah help and guide us.Ameen

“LIFE”



A boy said to his father: “I saw a girl and I want to marry… her. She is so beautiful and she has gorgeous eyes. The father answered his son: of course son, let’s ask for her hand in marriage.”

When the father saw the girl, he admired her beauty and he told his son: “You don’t deserve this girl, she needs someone who has experience in life and she can depend on, someone like me.”

The boy was surprised by the attitude of his father and he told him : “She will marry me, not you”. They started to fight and finally they decided both to go to the police station to solve their problem.

When they tell their story to the police officer, he told them:”bring the girl so we can ask her about her opinion about this. ” When the officer saw the beauty of the girl he said to the boy and his father:”you both don’t deserve her, she needs someone who has prestige like me.”

The 3 men started a fight and decided to go to the minister to solve their problem. When the minister saw the girl, he said: “She deserves to be married with a minister like me”. The prince heard about their problem and call them all to help them solve it but and when he saw the girl he said : “This girl will marry me” .

All the 5 men started to fight. Finally, the girl said “I have the solution! I will start to run and whoever catches me first, he will be my husband”. When she started to run, the boy, his father, the police officer, the minister and the prince started to run to catch her. Suddenly the 5 men fell into a deep hole.

The girl looked to them from the top and she said “did you know who am I?”

I am the Dunya THE LIFE!!

People want to run to catch me, they are racing to have me.
By doing that, they forget their religion,
until they end up in their grave and won’t have me.

Sign of Qiyamat...

Great Women In Islam-The Hairdresser of Pharoah’s Daughter...






There was a women called Mashit of Firoun, she was a women who was the hairdresser of Firouns daughter, Pharaoh who said, I did not know any god but me, and Mashit of Firoun, this hairdresser, she had embraced Islam in secret and when she was combing the hair of the daughter of pharaoh the king, one who said that he is god, the comb fell to the ground and then she automatically sub consciously picked up the comb and said, Bismillah, in the name of Allah.

    And this Mashit of Firoun this hairdresser had five children and one of them was still breast feeding and then the daughter of Firoun said, Allah Abi, are you saying Allah my father? And she said, No! Allah, the god of your father and yourself and me and she became angry, she went to her father and said to him:
Father, this woman worships another god besides you, he said: What?
She knows another god besides me, who is that? Call her to me, and they called her to him.
And she came and stood, a woman, a woman brothers and sisters in front of this great Pharaoh. And he said to her, who is your god? And she said, Allah is my lord. He said who is Allah?
She said Allah is my god and yours. Yes, she was cornered and put in a place, when she had to answer, she answered, this how the state of the Mumin in the past and present are. When they said, Allah is my lord, they were tortured.But we dont care.

    Because we know what were heading towards, we know who are lord is and
we say what we believe, were not liars.
She said Allah, Allah is my lord and yours. And they said what? Bring the chains!
They brought the chains, they begun to punish her and whip her, who is your lord and she will say Allah is my lord and yours.

    And so he ordered for them to bring a large container and he spilt boiling oil in to this container,  a large container like a swimming pool, and then he said, bring me all her children!
And they brought them one by one and he said worship me, I am your lord.
She said, never! So he brought her first son and he threw him in to the oil,
in front of her eyes his meat and his flesh fell of his body and his bone disintegrated, and then they brought her next son and she was firm, Allahu Akbar! They burnt him; she could not stop them, and then her third and then her fourth and finally her fifth, he was on her arm and she was about to pull back, she was about to pull back in front of the eyes of all the people and when all of a sudden and this is the Hadis of the prophet Muhammad (SAW), he said, all of a sudden, Allah (SWT) from above seven skies made her child speak while he was in the cradle, he said: Be patient my mother, you are in the truth, Allah Allah has promised you with a great heaven, keep going mother.

   And then they threw her son in to the boiling oil and she was next,
she knew that she was going to die, and then she begun to cry and Pharaoh said, why are you crying?
Stop! And she said, I was crying because I want to ask you to do something for me, and I dont know if youre going to do it, he said, ask me for whatever you like, she said, once you throw me in to the oil, then I want you to gather whatever is remaining of our bodies and I want you to bury us together in the same grave, because I want to be resurrected with my children and I want to go to Jannah with my children.

 It is narrated that Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, (may Allah bless and grant him peace) said, “On the night in which I was taken by a night Journey, a pleasant fragrance came my way, and so I said, “O Gabriel! What is this pleasant fragrance?”

He said, “This is the fragrance of the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter, and [of the hairdresser]‘s children.”

The story of Musa(Moses)[PBUH] and Al-Khird...


 
Narrated Said bin Jubair (RA) I said to Ibn Abbas "Nauf Al-Bikali claim that Musa(PBUH), the companion of Al-Khird was not the Musa (Moses) of the Children of Israel" Ibn  Abbas said "The Enemy of Allah (Nauf) told lie "Narrated 'Ubayy bin Kab that he heard  Allah's Messenger(PBUH) saying ,Musa(Moses)  got up to deliver the speech before the Children of Israeland he was asked, Who is the most learned person among the people? Musa(Moses) replied, I'(am the most learned) ' ALLAH admonished for him he did not ascribe knowledge to Allah Alone. 

    So Allah revealed to him: At the junction of the two seas there is a slave of Ours who is more learned than you.' Musa(Moses) asked. ' O my Lord, how can I meet hi? Allah said, Take  a fish and put it in the basket and then proceed (set out and where you lose the fish, you will find him) So Musa(Moses) (took the fish and put in the basket) set out. along with his boy servant.Yusha bin Nun , till they reached the rock(on which)  they both lay thier heads and slept.

  The fish moved vigorously in the basket and got out of it and fell into the sea and there  it took its way through the sea(straight) as in a tunnel.(V.18:61) Allah stopped the current of water on both sides of the way created  by the fish , and so that way was like a tunnel.  

  when Musa(Moses) got up, his companion forgot to tell him about the fish , and so they carried  on their journey  during the rest of the day and the whole night. the next morning Musa(Moses) asked the his boy servant ' Bring us our morning meal; truly we have suffered much fatigue in this journey.'(V18:62).
     
    Musa (Moses) did not get tired til he had passed the placed which Allah had ordered  him to seek after. His boy servant then said to him. Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock? I indeed for got the fish but Satan made me forget to remember it. It took its course  into the sea in a strange way.' (V.18:63)There was a tunnel for the fish and for Musa(Moses) and his boy- servant there was astonishment, Musa (Moses) said, That is what we have been seeking. ' So they went back retracting thier footsteps (V18:64)


    They both returned, retracting their steps till they reached the rock. Behold! There they found a a man covered with garment.Musa (Moses) greeted him.Al- Khird said astonishingly, ' Is there such a greeting in your land? Musa(Moses) said, I'am Musa (Moses), ' Yes and added. I have come to you so that you may teach me something of that knowledge which you have been taught'.

Al-Khird, You will not be able to have patience with me(V.18:67)

      O Musa(Moses)! I have some of Allah's knowledge which He has bestowed upon me but you do not know it;and you too have some of Allah's knowledge which He  has bestowed upon you;but i do not know it,'Musa (Moses) said,'If Allah's will, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught.' (V18:69)
    
    Al-Khird   said to Him. 'Then, if you fallow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention it to you.'(V18;70).After that both of them proceeded along the sea coast, till a ship passed by  and they requested the crew to let them go on board. The crew recognized Al-Khird and allow then to get on board free to charge.  
   
When they got on board, suddenly Musa (Moses) saw that Al-Khird had puleed out one of the planks of the ship with an adze. Musa(Moses) said to him, 'These people gave us a free lift, yet you have scuttled their ship so as drown its people! . Verily, you have commited a thing Imra( a Munkar-evil,bad,dreadful thing) (V18:71).

Al-Khird said, Did i not tell you, that you would not be able to have patience with me? (V18:72)

Musa(Moses) said, Call me not to account for what i forgot and be not hard upon me for my affair ( with you) ( V18:73)

         Allah's Messenger(PBUH) said, "The first excuse given by Musa(Moses) , was that he had forgotten. Then  the sparrow came and sat over the edge of the ship and dipped its beak once in the sea. Al-Khird said to Musa( Moses), 'My knowledge and my knowledge,compared to Allah's Knowledge is like the what this sparrow has taken out of the sea.' Then they both got out in the ship, and while they were walking on the sea shore, Al-Khird saw a boy playing with other boys.

      Al-Khird got hold of the boy and pulled it out with his hands and killed him.Musa(Moses) said, Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none! Verily, you have commited a thing Nukra( a great Munkar-prohibited,evil,dreadful thing)! (V. 18:74) , He said Did i not tell you, that you would not be able to have patience with me? (V18:75) ( The subnarrator said, The second balme was stronger than the first one) Musa(Moses) said, If I ask you anything after this, keep me not i your company; you ahve recieved an excuse from me (V.18:76)

   Then they both proceeded  until they came to the people of a town. They asked them for food but they refused to entertained them. (Then) they found there a wall on the point of falling down. 
( V.18:77) ( Al-Khird) set it up straight  with his own hands. Musa (Moses) said, ' we came to these people, but they neither fed us nor received us as guest. If you had wished, you could surely have exacted some recompense for it.' Al-Khird said, 'This is parting (things)  over which you could not hold patience.'(V18:79 80-82) that is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience.' ( V 18:820)'

Allah's Messenger(PBUH) said, We wished Musa(Moses) had more patience so that Allah might have described to us more about their story'( Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 6 Hadith  No 249.)( V18:73)

 If someone does  something against his oath due to forgetfulness (shouls make expiation?)and the statement of Allah: 

"And there is no sin on you, concerning that in which you made mistake" (V33:5)

Musa(Moses0 said to Al-Khird: "Call me not to account for what i forgot" (V18:73)

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA)  The Prophet(PBUH) said, "If somebody eats something forgetfully while he is fasting, then he should complete his fast, for Allah has made him eat and drink" ( Sahih Al- Bukhari Vol 8 hadith no 662.)

      In this story its teach us how we can hold our patience for everything come to our life many trials come and most of them give pain and hurt to us just believed for what Allah given to us He have reasons why He sent this to us so keep believing have Faith and hold on Allah's plans is better for what we need need so patience faith and believe..Assalamu Alaykum .....May Allah guide us all to the right path.Ameen







"Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives, and the fruits of your toil. But give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Those who say, when afflicted with calamity, 'To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.' They are those on whom descend blessings from their Lord, and mercy. They are the ones who receive guidance." (2:155-157)


"Oh you who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy. Vie in such perseverance, strengthen each other, and be pious, that you may prosper." (3:200)


"Patiently, then, persevere - for the Promise of Allah is true, and ask forgiveness for your faults, and celebrate the praises of your Lord in the evening and in the morning." (40:5)


"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West.
But it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day,
And the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers;
To spend of your substance, out of love for Him,
For your kin, for orphans, for the needy,
for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves;
To be steadfast in prayer
And give in charity;
To fulfill the contracts which you have made;
And to be firm and patient, in pain and adversity
And throughout all periods of panic.
Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing.
Qur'an 2:177

 During times of deep trial, despair, and sadness, Muslims seek comfort and guidance in the words of Allah in the Qur'an. Allah reminds us that all people will be tried and tested in life, and calls upon Muslims to bear these trials with "patient perseverance and prayer." Indeed, Allah reminds us that many people before us have suffered and had their faith tested; so too will we be tried and tested in this life.
