Love him...

Love him…

 

Love himwhen he "forgets" that special occasion. For him moment with you is special so he does not need an occasion.
Love himwhen he comes late from the Musjid. He wants to make sure he is early with you in Jannah (Paradise).
Love himwhen he admonishes you to don the hijaab. He wants to be sure you enshrouded by Allah's Mercy when you leave the home.
Love him...when he is jealous. Out of all the women he could have, he chose you to be his wife!
Love him...when he is working till late. At least he comes home and you still get to sleep and wake up in his loving and caring arms.
Love himwhen he has annoying little habits that drives you nuts. You have them too (and maybe more)
Love himwhen does not praise your cooking. He told you as newlyweds that yours was indeed always the best.
Love himwhen he looks dishevelled. He was more busy caring for the family than grooming himself. By the way he is cute!
Love himwhen he does not help in the home. He is out earning a halaal (pure) income for the family.
Love him...when he does not reply to your questions. He does not want to hurt your feelings or is absorbed in thinking about your welfare.
Love himwhen he looks beautiful. He's yours to appreciate!
Love himwhen he goes out in the Path of Allah. He is preparing a blissful eternal home for you in Jannah.
Love him...when he does not comment when you get angry. He is a good listener.
Love himwhen he buys you gifts you don't like. Smile and tell him it's what you've always wanted. He took the time and money out just for you!
Love himwhen he has developed a bad habit. You have many more and with wisdom and politeness you have all the time to help him change.
Love himwhen he is irritable and moody. Buy chocolates, massage his head and feet and just chat to him. He will become your slave!
Love himwhen whatever you do is not pleasing. It's like a storm; it happens and will soon pass by.
Love himwhen he drives so fast. He only wants you to be there in time.
Love himwhen he extends his period of rest. He is re-charging himself to serve you the best.
Love himwhen he forgets to say "I love you". He actually shows his love in many other ways.
Love himwhen he forgets to buy the bread or milk. He was rushing home to be with you.
Love himwhen he does not give you a chance to talk. He just knows what is in your heart and what it is you want to say.
Love himwhen he "demands" respect. After all he is the head of the house.
Love himwhen he shouts the kids. He only wants to ensure they are corrected and have a good moral upbringing.
Love himhe is yours. You don't need any other special reason!!!!
All this forms part of a man's character. Your Husband is part of your life and should be treated as the King!.
Almighty Allah Ta'ala says:
" And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts)…" (Qur'an 30:21) 
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) is reported to have said:
·         'Any woman who dies, and her husband is pleased with her, will enter Paradise.'"(Hadith-Ibn Majah) 
·         "If a woman prays her five daily prayers, fasts her month (of Ramadan), obeys her husband and guards her chastity, then it will be said to her: 'Enter Paradise by whichever of its gates you wish."(Hadith-Ahmad and al-Tabarani) 
·         "Pay attention to how you treat him(husband), for he is your Paradise and your Hell."(Hadith-13 Ahmad and al-Nisa'i) 
·         "No human being is permitted to prostrate to another, but if this were permitted I would have ordered wives to prostrate to their husbands, because of the greatness of the rights they have over them."(Hadith: Ahmad and al-Bazzar)
Don't wait for that special occasion, take time NOW to make him feel Special in Every Way! Just give him a HUGE HUG and if he asks why then say: " It's just because you are so SPECIAL…"

"Rock With Me"

"Rock With Me"
 
 
 The Noble Messenger of Allah [peace be upon him] said: " Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection"[Hadith- Bukhari]
 
There was once an elderly, sad woman in a nursing home. She wouldn't talk to anyone or request anything. She seemed merely to exist. Besides performing her daily prayers she would spend the rest of the day rocking in her creaky old rocking chair.
 
The old woman didn't have many visitors. But every few days, a concerned and pious Allah conscious wise young nurse would go into her room. Besides making salaam(greeting),She didn't try to speak or ask questions of the old lady. She simply pulled up another rocking chair beside the old woman and rocked with her.
 
Weeks  later, the old woman finally spoke to the young nurse
'Thank you,' she said. 'Thank you for rocking with me, it meant so much'
 
The old woman thereafter came out of her "shell" and was a very sociable person! She just needed some caring love and support at a critical time in her life.
 
In life there are times when we are meant to talk and be supportive, and there are times when we can help by just being there. Actions, as we are told are often more important than words. The next time you know someone in need, just be there and be supportive.
 
 

The Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him] said, "A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other." The Prophet[pbuh] then clasped his hands with the fingers interlaced (while saying that). [Hadith- Bukhari]

The Dirty Laundry...

The Dirty Laundry…
 

By Abu Muhammad Yusuf

 

 

In life we tend to be judgmental and very often look down upon others without exploring deeper and finding out why the person is behaving in such a way. The Beloved Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) is reported to have said "It is enough of evil for a person to hold his brother Muslim in contempt. All of a Muslim is sacred to another Muslim: his blood, his wealth and his honour." (Hadith- Muslim)

A young couple moves into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbour hanging the laundry outside. "That laundry is not very clean", she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap. "Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbour would hang her washing to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.

Some time later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean laundry on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."

"The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows"

Lesson: If our windows are dirty so will we see others as dirty too. What we see in others is indeed a reflection of our inner-selves! So it is with life that what we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look. It is easy for us to condemn, discuss other people, their lives & things that really doesn't even concern us and we tend to forget - our windows may not be that clean after all! If we good we will see good…

The Beloved Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) is reported to have said:
"A Muslim is a mirror to another Muslim"(Hadith_Abu Dawud)
