I asked a similar question once and was told 'Who said what makes you happy is good for you?'. That made me realise that what is best for us is not necessarily what makes us happy in this world. In fact, it is what brings us the most benefit in the aakhirah. We often forget that and...

asalaamulaikum sister Being in just about the same situation as you, I cried as much for you as I did for myself with your previous post, since the sentiments were such that I may as well have written it myself. In this post you express the relief that has come with the important...

JazakAllah Khayr for all your comments, thoughts and duas. They are much appreciated- may Allah accept them and all of our duas.

JazakAllah for your kind words and comments. I am from the sub-continent and it is certainly that much harder as a result. I have been trying my best to live and still do the things I enjoy (travel etc) I have therefore tried to follow the advice one usually gets or reads - I have studied and...

Assalaamulaikum. Hope you are all well. I am a single female who is not very young. I have found myself becoming increasingly despondent about the fact that I am still single and very, very lonely. I have made dua, and still do, but bearing in mind my age and the sad fact that most...

Slm, Its actually called Qasida Burdah, or The Burdah, The cloak, The Poem of the Cloak. It's an ode of praise to the Prophet SAW, written by Imam Al Basari, many many years ago. Its been sung by many different people over the years and it depends which version you want.

I think this is somewhat ridiculous! It may be that the Prophet SAWs did not raise his hands while making dua after salaah. (I do not know, I have insufficient knowledge of this). However, I do not see how something that is NOT against the principles of sharia and NOT considered to be...

Slm I wish to point out that Zakariya Park is the name of a town in South Africa and it is not correct to assume that the name is based on the name of any particular individual. I also feel very strongly that we should be VERY careful before labelling any other muslim as advocating Kufr...

I definately do not think males are blameless or that the problem is unique to converts. Many not so young women (of all origins) are overlooked by males (as much as their families) because there are younger, better looking options to choose from. Again piety/deen, values and other things of...

I have to say that I do not think there is anything wrong with cultural practices as long as they do not contravene islamic laws, are not considered obligatory and so on. There is nothing unislamic about giving the wife gifts and nothing at all that dictates that the wife MUST live with the...

That given to the wife as refered to in the ayah above I take to mean the Mehr. Since Mehr is a little different to a gift it therefore has different rules that apply to it depending on the circumstances eg it is returned with Khula but not with Talaaq. I think it would be wise to clarify if...

No doubt Allah is indeed Most Merciful . Inshallah He will accept our duas. Ameen

Thank you for your reply and advice. Inshallah I will remember you and your family in my duas too.

Slm all I feel a bit silly posting but I'm feeling so low and so alone at the moment, I am in desperate need of Allahs help! Please remember me in your duas............... I hope everyone is having a good ramadaan. I hope we all reap the maximum benefit from this blessed month.inshallah.

Slm As far as I know we are NOT allowed to donate organs..........
