She will be given ghusl in jannat and sitting on mountains of pearls , she will await the arrival of her husband.



• A woman who is rendered restless owing to the illness of her baby and yet kept on striving to comfort the baby, Allah Talaah forgives all her sins and gives her the sawaab of 12 years accepted in ibaadat .

She gave her life in the process ( i.e. she died of the punishment inflicted to her), but did not forsake Imaan.



• Every single woman going to hell will take four (4) jannati men. Because they did not fikr nor had they cared in duniya about the Deen and Imaan of that woman and did not teach her Deen, these four men will be:


1. her father
2. her brother
3. her husband &
4. her son


• If woman glances at men she is not allowed to see according to the shariat, Allah Taalah sends his curse upon her, just as it is forbidden for a man to glance at women he is not allowed to see.


May Allah give every Muslim men & women HIDAYA to stand by Islamic Rules and keep far away from the sin .

Note: I felt its my duty to share it with you. Can i ask you one thing? after reading this, can you please kindly forward it to other muslim brothers & sisters.


And will provide for him when he expects not. And he who puts his trust in Allah - He is sufficient for him. Verily, Allah is to fulfil His work. Undoubtedly, Allah has kept a measure for every thing.

Surah At-Talaq :3


Source : Well, a friend of mine forwarded this enriching mail to me.. I copy n pasted it here.. Those words are not mine.. I thought of sharing it with you all.. ^^

Wonder why Muslim women wear a scarf on their head?

In the holy Qur'an Allah (God) commands the prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
"O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not annoyed..."
(Qur'an 33:59)

So first and foremost, Muslim women cover because God commanded them to do so!

What can be understood from this verse is that when a woman is modest
She is not "annoyed"
In other words, men do not pay attention to her simply for body.
Rather, her personality and intelligence are the main emphasis in Islam.
Muslim women do not oppress their sexuality by taking on the hijab!
Rather, their femininity is emphasized by their demeanor, character, as well as their appearance. By the way, men also have to maintain their modesty and follow dress requirements in Islam!

Most importantly, Islam encourages men and women to maintain modesty for the sake of purity:

"Say to the believing man that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands..."
(Qur'an 24:30-31)

Talk By Dr. Bilal Philips on Friday 13th of March 2009 - Held at Reduit (Auditorium- POWA)

Well, I attended the talk on 'REAL WAY TO HAPPINESS' .. N here are some notes that I took ^^.. Thought of sharing them :)

• " Happiness is a contented and satisfied state of mind which may or may not involve pleasure".



• Research has identified a number of factors which correlates with happiness. These include religious involvement, parenthood, marital status & proximity to other happy people.



• There is now extensive research suggesting that religious people are happier and less stressed.



• To become truely happy requires effort. We actually have to work on it, it doesn't fall into our lap.



• Our Messenger (S.A.W) :
  "When good times come to him, he is grateful and it is good for him,
  When bad times befall him, he is patient and it is good for him."
  (Sahih Muslim)


-- E.g: When one gets lots of money, one shouldnt become crazy and do crazy stuffs..
Also, when bad times befall on some1, one shoudnt blame GOD, himself/herself or others.. One should be patient as all these are ultimately a TEST!


• GRATITUDE & PATIENCE are the key elements. We need both. One should try to find a balance between them.



• GOD ALMIGHTY said:
  " If you are grateful, I will give you more."



• One should say ALHAMDULILLAH (Thanks to Allah) when one receive a good things or when one is in a happy state. He/she will be given better than he/she just received.



• Our Prophet said :
  "No one has been given a greater gift than patience. "



• Parents should teach their children to be grateful since their early age.



• GOD said:
  " Whatever blessings you have are from Allah " (16:53)



• Our Prophet said:
  " Don't look to those above you, but to those below you and it is best for you to remember God's favor on you ".

(Sahih Muslim)


• One who doesnt thank people, one doesnt thank God.
  One should develop a grateful character.



• Lacks of thanks discourage people. Gratefulness and thankfulness is the character of a TRUE believer.



• The Prophet:
  " The deed done consistently is most beloved to GOD , even if is small".
  (Sahih Muslim)




MYTH ABOUT CHANGE :
Change takes a long time.
The ABOVE statement is WRONG !! Its the decision to change that takes time!.


• Remorse is the essence of repentance.


P.S: These are not my words... I took out notes while Dr. Bilal Philips was talking and from what I manage to write from the slides (powerpoint).



InshAllah these words of wisdom will help you all.
