Rising from the ashes: Marna to hai hi Aaj nahi to kal, so why not live a life that's pleasing to Allah?! Allah k matee o farma bankar zindagi guzar kar dekhte hai.... Aise bhi Zindagi me satisfied nhi, to chance lekar dekhte hai...Allah ke liye .uske bataye hue tariqe par zindagi guzar kar dekhte hai...with each morning and each night.. submitting and surrendering to Him account of deeds or question paper and answer sheet.
Aap j have been trying to complete my missed fasts and also struggling for waking up for Fajr and finding it difficult to cope with validation and people pleasing ....it dawned upon me how much a ROZA can benefit and help change something in us. Of course propelling us for the positive and no matter what deep well i have been sinking into all this time, it feels as if automatically I'm ashore and on top of the surface , came out with so many pearls and gems of wisdom granting me sakinah and serenity and confidence alhamdulillah
An article written soon after ineetired from GIO and the world came running over. I submerged my feelings and poured my heart out in the words trying to find meaning into the transitory phase
Sometimes in life, Allah blesses us with so many colours (blessings) yet He simply witholds just one color to examine what is our response. But being human: weak, fragile and arrogant, we forget it all and aim just for that one color that we don't have, craving, fighting, asking and imploring Him like we never had any blessing or happiness in life. Allah says to be grateful and He will give us more... But are we? Or all we do is behave like kids putting tantrums for that single red color.
Guess what a man is all about yet he doesn't know nor the society does! “Husbands should take good care of their wives, with [the bounties] God has given to some more than others and with what they spend out of their own money.” (Qur’an 4:34)Â
To say that this verse has been repeatedly taken out of context would be an understatement. As Shaykh Younus Kathrada explains,  “When speaking of the qiwamah of a man over his wife (ie, his “authority” over her) as highlighted in the verse above, we need to realise that this is a burden and a responsibility, not an honour and favour. The man’s responsibility is not restricted to maintaining his wife financially i.e. housing, feeding her etc. He is also responsible for looking after her emotional, spiritual and physical needs and wellbeing.
Allah’s command is to treat wives kindly, with care, and on a footing of equity of what is acceptable. Al-qiwamah is in no way meant to turn the husband into some sort of dictator who thinks he is a master who orders and forbids and should be obeyed unrestrictedly.
There are so many nuances to look at when we look at these issues. One such nuance is that Allah did not say that males are qawwam over women; rather, He said “men” are qawwam. This is something we need to think about and ponder; for how many males are not really “men”?” If you truly believe in Allah, as he has ordained, then a woman does not need to please, and be abused by a man in order to reach God.
