    fasting six days during the month of Shawwal

    This is interesting. I asked this question from an Imam some time back and he told me that we can do Shawwal fasting with the intention of making up for not fasting during the 7 days we could not fast during Ramadhan and shawwal fasting combined. It need NOT be done separately. So, I intend to...

    Money disappears - Is it Jinn?

    It must be noted that all of the above is practised in our home. Does it mean that Allah breaks his promise? Of course not. It only means Allah wills whatever HE chooses

    Money disappears - Is it Jinn?

Finally, we had to seek the help of a knowledgeable man who read various verses from the Quraan and gave something to sprinkle round and the disappearance of...

    Halal JOB or Haram JOB

    There are many many jobs, where when you look closely will ultimately be haram in one way or another. Do what you can to put food on the table and slowly look for something that you feel you are comfortable with and is halal. Allah is all merciful and oft forgiving.

    Mascaras n nail polish in wudhu

    Oh my my.......my dear sisters. This has turned into a debate of sorts. It was not intended to be that way. It was merely a question about waterproof makeup and nail polish of the other mazhabs. The fact that I asked about the other mazhabs is to acknowledge that all 4 mazhabs are true and...

    Men MUST Lead

    Men MUST Lead

    Men are Imams of society. They must lead whether they like it or not. It is not an option but an obligation set forth by Allah. A classic illustration of this is even the wisest mother cannot lead her 13year old son in prayer, whereas he can lead her (be the imam). Which brings us to the fact...
