QURAAN AYAT Allah (S.W.T) says:

Spend Quality Time With Your Kids Just 5 more minutes
While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a lady on a bench near a playground. "That's my son over there," she said, pointing to a little boy in a red

"Four of them (Thul(Thul-Qa Qadah, ThulThul-Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab) are sacred."
[Surah Taubah: 36]

sweater who was gliding down the slide. "He's a fine looking boy," the lady said. "That's my son on the swing in the blue sweater." Then, looking at her watch, she called to his son. "What do you say we go, Sameer?"

Sameer pleaded, "Just five more minutes, Mummy. Please? Just five more minutes." The lady nodded and Sameer continued to swing to his heart's content.

Minutes passed and the mother stood and called again to her son. "Time to go now?" Again Sameer pleaded, "Five more minutes, Mum. Just five more minutes." The lady smiled and said, "O.K." "My, you certainly are a patient mother," the woman responded.

The lady smiled and then said, "My older son Haitham was killed in a road accident last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent as much time with Haitham as I could have, and now I 'd give anything for just five more minutes with him. I've vowed not to make the same mistake with Sameer. He thinks he has five more minutes to swing. The truth is, I get five more minutes to watch him play." Lets spare some quality time with those who are near dear to us lest a time comes when we wished we had the opportunity but it is no longer there...

"Haya(Modesty) is part of Faith"

HADEETH
Rasulullah ( ) said:

"Faith (Belief) consists of more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). And Haya is a part of faith."
[Hadith-Muslim]

Holiday Season???...Let our Jolly not lead to a Folly!!!

What is Haya? This term covers a wide number of concepts. In English, it may be translated as modesty, shyness, self-respect, bashfulness, shame, honour, humility, etc. Islamically Haya is an attribute which pushes the believer to avoid anything distasteful or offensive. Haya plays a huge role in the lives of Muslims because it is a very important part of our Iman (faith/belief). If we do not have any form of haya within us then it is most likely that our Iman is very weak. For as it states in the following hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:, "Faith (Belief) consists of more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). And Haya is a part of faith." (Bukhari) The Prophet(pbuh) also said: "Haya does not bring anything except good." (Bukhari) The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed haya (modesty) and Iman are Companions. When one of them is lifted, the other leaves as well." (Hadith-Baihaqi) Allah says in the Quran: "Say to the believing men 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; 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." (Qur'an Nur, 30-31)

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

REVIVE A SUNNAH
The person who holds steadfast to my Sunnah, during the time of Fasaad (evil and corruption) in my Ummah, will get the reward of a hundred martyrs.[Hadith] When leaving home on the commencement of a journey one should read this dua: Bismillahi, Tawakkaltu, a-lallah, wa laa hawla wa laa quwatta illah billah

Can You Hear Me??????

An old man went to the Doctor complaining that his wife could barely hear. The Doctor suggested a test to find out the extent of the problem. Stand far behind her and ask her a question, and then slowly move up and see how far away you are when she first responds. The old man excited to finally be working on a solution for the problem, runs home and sees his wife preparing supper. Honey the man asks standing around 20 feet away whats for supper? After receiving no response he tried it again 15 feet away, and again no response. Then again at 10 feet away and again no response. Finally he was 5 feet away honey whats for supper? She replies For the fourth time its lasagna!
