We all want to have a productive day. We strive hard in
figuring out our interests and potential and learn to
manage that precious commodity, time. We set goals
and develop strategies to accomplish them.
Now, the point to ponder is, are these �goals� really
aimed at gaining the Pleasure of Allah subhanahu wa
ta`ala (glorified is He)?
What goals should we set for ourselves to achieve in a
day that are aimed at gaining the pleasure of Allah (swt)
and inching closer to Jannah (Paradise) insha�Allah
(God willingly)?
Subhan�Allah (glory to God)!! Allah (swt)�the Supreme
Being�gives us the answer in 7 short ayahs (verses of
the Qur�an) very aptly titled ��Al Fatiha�The Opening.�
Here goes:�
Say Bismillah before beginning a task�In
the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most
Merciful: Start each task with the name of Allah
(swt). It increases barakah (blessings). Say Bismillah
before eating, starting something new, entering the house etc.
Thank Allah (swt) often�[All] praise is [due] to Allah,
Lord of the worlds: A true believer is grateful in all
circumstances. Look around you and acknowledge the blessings
of Allah (swt) and thank Him for them each day. This very
practical exercise will help in dealing with traumatic situations
and fighting discontentment and increase the chances of leading
a stress-free lifestyle.
Be Kind�The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful: Allah
(swt)�s beautiful qualities of being Especially merciful and
Entirely Merciful. We should try to adopt these qualities in our
daily lives and be merciful and kind to the people around us. Be
kind to your family, neighbors, and friends. Take a pot of
chicken soup to someone with a cold, or give a ride to someone
to the mosque or the halaqas (study circles) today.
Remember the Day of Judgment�Sovereign of the Day
of Recompense: Tell yourself each day that this dunya (life,
universe) is just �play and amusement� and very soon that day
will come when Allah (swt) will recompense us for each good
and bad deed done. This will insha�Allah assist us in balancing
the dunya and the akhirah (Hereafter). Read Surah Mulk every
night.
Seek Only Allah (swt) for help�It is You we worship and You we
ask for help: Remember Allah (swt) is only a du`a� (supplication) away.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: �Man should call upon
Allah alone to provide for all his needs, so much so that even if a shoe-
lace is broken, he should pray to Allah to provide a shoe-lace, and if he
needs salt, he should beseech Allah to send it to him.� [Tirmidhi] We
know and accept that only Allah (swt) can help us during our hardships.
We increase our reliance on Allah (swt) and make du`a� and practice
patience.
Follow the Sunnah�Guide us to the straight path: Yahiya ibn
Mu�âdh (rahimahu Allâh, may God be pleased with him) said, �Renew
your hearts with the remembrance of Allâh because it rushes into
forgetfulness.� We should try each day to learn something new about
the deen (religion). Learn a new sunnah (tradition) or Qur�anic ruling on
some matter relating to your everyday life.
Do righteous deeds and seek the company of the
righteous�The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor,
not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray:
Make an effort to do good deeds and seek the company of those people
who remember Allah (swt) when they meet. Listen attentively to the
jumu`ah khutbah (Friday sermon) and attend halaqas (study circles).
The good news is that Allah (swt) reminds us of these goals at least 17
times a day; in every fard salah (mandatory prayer). Alhamdulillah
The brain contains billions of nerve cells that send and receive
information around the body.
The human
brain is over
three times as
big as the brain
of other
mammals that
are of similar
body size.
The human brain is like a powerful
computer that stores our memory
and controls how we as humans
think and react. It has evolved over
time and features some incredibly
intricate parts that scientists still
struggle to understand.
The human brain
is protected by the
skull (cranium), a
protective casing
made up of 22
bones that are
joined together.
The brain is suspended in
Cerebrospinal fluid, effectively
floating in liquid that acts as both a
cushion to physical impact and a
barrier to infections.

Each side of the brain interacts
largely with just one half of the body,
but for reasons that are not yet fully
understood, the interaction is with
opposite sides, the right side of the
brain interacts with the left side of
the body, and vice versa.
Dress up for your wife, look clean and smell good. When was the last time
you went shopping for the best clothing? Just like the husband wants his
wife to look nice for him, she also wants her husband to dress up for her too.
Remember that the Prophet (PBUH) would always start with Miswak when
returning home and always loved the sweetest smells.
Use the best names for your wife. Call your wife by the most beloved
names to her, and avoid using names that hurt their feelings.

like this; recognize all the good that she does and focus on that.
If you see wrong from your wife, try being silent and do not comment! This
is one of the ways the Prophet (PBUH) used when he would see something
have mastered.
5. Smile at your wife whenever you see her and embrace her often. Smiling
is Sadaqah and your wife is not exempt from the Muslim Ummah. Imagine
life with her constantly seeing you smiling. Remember also those Hadeeth
when the Prophet (PBUH) would kiss his wife before leaving for Salah, even
when he was fasting.
Thank her for all that she does for you. Then thank her again! Take for
example a dinner at your house. She makes the food, cleans the home, and
a dozen other tasks to prepare. And sometimes the only acknowledgment
be; thank her!
Ask her to write down the last ten things you did for her that made her
happy. Then go and do them again. It may be hard to recognize what gives
work on repeating those times in your life.
s the men may look down
upon the requests of their wives. The Prophet (PBUH) set the example for us
in an incident when Safiyyah (R.A) was crying because, as she said, he had
put her on a slow camel. He wiped her tears, comforted her, and brought
her the camel.
Be humorous and play games with your wife. Look at how the Prophet
(PBUH) would race with his wife Aisha (R.A) in the desert. When was the
last time we did something like that?

In France after picking groceries in the supermarket, a Niqabi
sister stood in the line to pay. After a few minutes, her turn
came up at the checkout counter.
The checkout girl was a non-Hijaabi Arab Muslim girl. She
began to scan the items of the Niqabi sister. After a while she
looked at her with arrogance & said:
"We have many problems in this country & your Niqab is one
of them! We, immigrants, are here for trade and not to show
our Deen or history! If you want to practice your Deen and
wear Niqaab then go back to your Arab country and do
whatever you want!"
The Niqaabi sister stopped putting her grocery in the bag and
lifted up her Niqaab. The checkout Arab girl was in total shock.
The Niqaabi girl who was blonde with blue eyes told her:
"I am a French girl, not an Arab immigrant. This is my country
& THIS IS MY ISLAM. You born Muslims sold your Deen and we
bought it from you!"
Allah says:
"If you turn away, Allah will replace you by another people,
and they will not be like you." (47:38)
OUR CHILDREN
OUR FUTURE
How do you expect kids to listen to their parents
when...
* Tarzan lives half naked,
* Cinderella comes home at midnight,
* Pinocchio lies all the time,
* Aladdin is the king of thieves,
* Batman drives at 200 mph,
* Romeo and Juliet commit suicide out of love,
* Harry Potter uses witchcraft,
* Mickey and Minnie are more than just friends,
* Sleeping Beauty is lazy,
* Dumbo gets drunk and hallucinates,
* Scooby Doo gives nightmares,
* and Snow White lives with 7 guys.
We shouldn't be surprised when they misbehave, they get it from
their storybooks and cartoons!
We should instead be teaching them stories like
Prophet Mohammad (لی ص ه يه ا ل لم ع س and Khadija (RA)'s ( و
pure love,
Prophet M0hammad (لی ص ه يه ا ل لم ع س and Aisha (RA)'s ( و
sweet acts of love,
Abu Bakr (RA)'s loyalty and undying service for his master,
Umar ibn Khatthab (RA)'s love for justice and tolerance,
Uthman ibn Affan (RA)'s level of shyness and modesty,
Ali ibn Abi-Talib (RA)'s show of courage and bravery,
Khalid ibn Waleed (RA)'s desire of combating evil,
Fatima bint Muhammad (RA)'s love and respect to her father,
Sallahuddin Al-Ayubi (RA)'s conquest of the promised land,
and much much more...
Above all, we should teach them about Allah (SWT), Qur'an and
the Sunnah!
