Seek Allah's protection for children

 Seek Allah's protection for children. Good and pure way, the way that Allah has prescribed peace, welfare and salvation of the family and child. The right of a child in Islam starts before birth. Every child is entitled to a mother and a father, one who will be responsible, loving and a good example to the child. The parents are responsible to offer a home life to their children; this does not mean they required to be wealthy but to be loving and supportive. For a child to be born illegitimately because of the lust of the parents is unfair and unjust. In Islam the mother and father will be married, sexual contact is prohibited until after marriage. This is made possible because the man and woman are not to be alone without the women's mahram. (male relative such as her father, grandfather, uncle, brother) One who is a blood relative and unmarriageable to her.

The child has rights even while in the womb of the mother. The right not to be aborted, contrary to the Western position that the woman has a right over her body and can therefore do what ever she likes is not applicable in Islam. The child has a right to be born. While in the West it is acceptable to have sex with anyone and everyone, although it is prohibited in the Christian Bible, this deprives the child of knowing his or her own father and more often then not, even the mother does not know due to her many sex partners. Having a mother and father under normal (married) conditions gives a child the sense of security. This is also why if the father dies the mother does not remarry for 4 months and 10 days. First of all to know whether or not she is pregnant and secondly so she would be sure who the father is, the one who died or the one she just married. The child also has a right to inheritance while in the womb in case the father dies before its' birth.

The child is also to be treated with kindness and not abuse. That does not mean that you do not correct your children but it means that you do it within boundaries. It is forbidden to hit any child in the face in Islam. Whether a child, adult or animal it is not allow to hit them in the face or leave bruises, marks or cause any deformity to the child

"Reliance on God has several stages. One of them is relying on Him in all that you do and being pleased with whatever He does to you; knowing that He only wishes you prosperity and success; and knowing that He has full authority over all these affairs; and also having complete trust in Him in these and all other affairs."


Conditions for a Permissible Ruqyah

There are some important conditions that must be satisfied in a ruqyah to make it permissible.

"There is a consensus among the 'ulama that ruqa are permissible when they satisfy three conditions:

1 - To be with Allah's words or His names and attributes

2 - To be in Arabic or of an intelligible meaning

3 - And to believe that they do not have effect by themselves but by Allah (swt) ".


The Prophet (SAW) used to seek Allah's protection for Al-Hasan and Al-Husain by saying

I seek protection for you in the Perfect Words of Allah from every devil and every beast , and from every envious blameworthy eye.

Reference:..Al-Bukhari4/119.

Protection from Shaitan
When our Holy Prophet is advised to seek protection from Satan, don't we need to protect ourselve.

let us not underestimate our enemy Satan! Let us not be under the illusion that only repeating the words "Au'dhu Billahi Min ash-Shaitan Ar-Rajeem" is sufficient. Remember! Unless you understand the purpose of these words and mold your actions as per the commandments of Allah, the Isti'adha will not be of any utility.
Some benefits of the above surahs
Recite al ikhlaas, al nas, and al falaq 3 times in the morning and night
Every night when the prophet( pbuh) retired to bed, he would cup his hands together and blow over them after reciting Surah al Ikhlaas, Surah al nas, and Surah al falaq and then rub his hands over whichever part of his body he was able to rub, starting with his head, face and front of his body.
Abadallah B. Habib reported that the prophet (pbuh) said, "Speak" i asked, "O messenger of Allah, what should i say?" He replied "Recite Surah al ikhlaas, and al falaq and al nas, in the morning and evening 3 times and it will suffice you for everything

Pray and blow on your children before going out side the house(leaving the house)
amazing effectiveness of this verses in warding off jinn and breaking their spells.
It is not only humans which are possessed, but also animals, trees and other objects. By doing this, the evil Jinn hope to make people worship others besides Allah. The possession of idols is one way to do this.
  "Indeed he (Iblis) and his tribe watch you from a position where you cannot see them"
    (Surah Al-A'raf 7:27)

Maybe there is a Jinn sitting in the corner of your room right now, or even one behind you. If so, then how will you deal with this creation of Allah? Learn Islam properly.

The Noble Qur'an - An-Nahl 16:98
So when you want to recite the Qur'ân, seek refuge with Allâh from Shaitân (Satan), the outcast (the cursed one).
The holy prophet (pbuh) also used to pray ayal ul kurssi before sleeping. It is said that it will protect you throughout your sleep. And if you pray it 3 times, it will protect you from nightmares.

Recitation of these four Surahs
1) al kafiroon
2) al ikhlaas
3) al falaq
4) al nas
3 times after each compulsory prayer is very beneficial. It is also very beneficial to pray ayal tul kurssi after each compulsory prayer. It will protect you. Ayat tul kurssi should also be prayed after you take wudhu, it will protect you from the shaytan. The holy Prophet (pbuh) was pleased to say that "al ikhlaas" is 1/3 of the holy Quran. And al kafirron, al falaq and al nas are 1/4 of the Quran.
Surah al nas and al falaq are very efficacious in warding off evil effects of magick. Reciting the 3 Quls and blowing it on water mixture administer it to the patient for speedy cure.

AYAT I KARIMA
"La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minal lauleemin"
This is known as AYAT I KARIMA
and it was recited by the prophet jonah (pbuh) in the belly of the fish and it was through the grace of this verse that ALLAH accepted his prayer and delivered him from the darkness of the fish's belly

If this prayer is recited after every compulsory prayer espcially after the FRIDAY prayers , Allah will make the reciter immune from every dreadful thing, keep him safe against his enemies, make him affluent and provide him sustenance from a source he cannot dream of . Recitation of this verse is very beneficial for delivery from grief and tribulations and prison. At least one tasbeeh should be recited every morning and evening.

There are several ways to seek protection from the bane of evil spirits and jinn.
One should first of all establish good relations with God and His Prophet and observe
the Islamic principles. Secondly, one should seek refuge with God by both performing
and reciting prayers.

Active and Verbal Prayers
There are two ways to pray: actively with deeds, or verbally with the heart.
The tilling, cultivating, sowing, and irrigation of a field by a farmer are examples
of an active prayer; the opening up of the hands and the begging of God, "O God,
bestow us with bounty and send us of your Grace," is an example of an verbal prayer.
Performing the latter one without the former will not earn one anything. On the other hand,
performing the former without the latter will render the bounty received, and especially any
 worship performed, deficient and all the farmer's efforts will amount to nothing.

Seeing a doctor when we feel ill and using medicine is a form of active prayer. The opening
up of our hands and asking for a cure from God is a form of verbal prayer. Sometimes our
aches and pains, our toothache or headache will disappear with trust in God and prayer.
 However, at other times, God's Will is different and we have to see a doctor.
When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "God has created a cure for all ailments;
 get treatment," he was encouraging us to perform an action.

There are also times when both active and verbal prayer will not suffice. Sometimes God associates a cure
 with both of them, sometimes with one of them. Everything is within His power. There are many people who
live healthily and pleasantly, although they do not know what a verbal prayer is. On the other hand, some people
who are devoted to God continue their lives in agony, even though they use medication and do not cease to pray
for even a moment. In such situations, one is apt to think that our entreaties are not being heeded. However,
answering a wish is one thing, and having it accepted is another. All prayers will be heard and answered, they may
be granted immediately, or postponed to a future date. Our prayers may not be granted in this world, being kept
to be granted in the Hereafter. This all depends on the wisdom of God. When you call a doctor, he agrees to come;
however, if you say, "Give me this medicine," he may not prescribe what you have asked for. He will give it if he
thinks it is appropriate and will not if he thinks it is inappropriate; he may give something better and more useful.

God always hears the supplications of His servants, lets them know that He has heard their prayers, and instills in
them a lightness of heart; He is closer to a person than their jugular vein. However, He may not give all that His
servant wants because of His infinite wisdom. This denial of bestowal may be either because it will be better for
the person or it may be because He will grant it at a later date, when it will be more useful. Moreover, He is the owner
of all worlds, and has the right to use them as He wishes. Both His kindness and His disfavor are good. He never trifles;
 there are a thousand reasons for His actions, not one.

The safest way to protect ourselves against evil spirits is to feel strong loyalty to God and His Messenger. This requires
following the principles of Islam strictly. In addition, we should never abandon prayer, for prayer is a weapon against hostility,
protecting us from harm, and helps us to attain our goals.

MOTHERHOOD

                             Now you know let us exmine this role



......................................What does Islam say about "mothers"?....................

This is one of the most convincing things about Islam - the treatment of women in general and especially the high position mothers hold in Islam.

Amongst the clearest examples of Islam's honoring women is the great status of the mother in Islam. Islam commands kindness, respect and obedience to parents and specifically emphasizes and gives preference to the mother as shall be shown in this article. Islam raises parents to a status greater than that found in any other religion or ideology.

The command to be good to one's parents .
{And to your parents} meaning, be kind to your parents, shower on them love, affection and piety, both in words and deeds, treat them with tender humility, provide for them and never harm them verbally nor physically. [...] Then, Allah mentions the reason why we should be kind to our parents, when He says {His mother bore him in travail upon travail}, that is, the mother bore constant suffering; in pain and hardship from the first moment she felt the child moving in her womb to the worst pangs during the time of delivery. And {his weaning is for two years}, that is, during these two years the mother breast-feeds her child and looks after him/her. So after all the years of suffering, hardship, love and care, could we not, at least, compensate our mothers for what they have done for us and pay them back their rights?

The best Teacher and Guide for humanity, Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam. He elevated the women from their status as chattel to the dignity of being equal servants of Allah with men. Yet their status in society was not conditioned upon entering man's world. Their most important task is to take care of the home and children. "Take care of your home for THAT is your Jihad." [Musnad Ahmed]. Jihad is the epitome of Islamic life. Declaring home-making as Jihad for women is giving it the highest possible status in an Islamic society.

Not only is it an all-important task, only women are uniquely qualified to do it. It is not by accident that pregnancy and nursing are purely feminine tasks. Allah has given women the special talents and psychological makeup needed to take care of the children. There is no substitute for mother's milk or mother's love. No one can extract and bottle motherly compassion. Her patience, kindness, willingness to sacrifice her own comforts, and her natural affinity for children -- and the children's natural affinity for the mother-- are the key to successful upbringing of children. A mother understands the children's problem even when they cannot express it. She can uniquely sense their needs, both physical and emotional. She can satisfy some of these herself. For others, children need the father. But even he needs her insights in discharging his responsibilities in this area. No day care center or nursery can make up for the absence of the mother and father. "What the children need for  narulatheir upbringing is not a poultry farm,
  Mothers are the silent workers who are indispensable for building character of the next generation. A believing mother who understands the crucial nature of her responsibility, will imbue her children with faith and moral values, as only she can. She will raise children with courage, honesty, truthfulness, patience and perseverance, love and kindness, faith and self-confidence. On the other hand, a society without mothers and home-makers will produce at-risk youth.

    Treatment of mothers. The honor that Muslim mothers receive from their sons and daughters is exemplary. The intensely warm relations between Muslim mothers and their children and the deep respect with which Muslim men approach their mothers usually amaze Westerners.
A man once consulted the Prophet Muhammad about taking part in a military campaign. The Prophet asked the man if his mother was still living. When told that she was alive, the Prophet said: "(Then) stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet." (Al-Tirmidhi)

On another occasion, the Prophet said: "God has forbidden for you to be undutiful to your mothers." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

One of the things I have always appreciated about my  faith is not only its emphasis on maintaining the bonds of kinship, but also the high regard in which women, particularly mothers, are held. The Quran, Islam's revealed text, states: "And revere the wombs that bore you, for God is ever watchful over you." (4:1)

It should be obvious that our parents deserve our utmost respect and devotion - second only to God. Speaking in the Quran, God ays: "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents; to Me is thy final Goal." (31:14)

The fact that God has mentioned parents in the same verse as Himself shows the extent to which we should strive in our efforts to serve the mothers and fathers who sacrificed so much for us. Doing so will help us to become better people.

In that same verse, God says: "We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him."

In other words, the debt we owe to our mothers is magnified due to the difficult nature of pregnancy - not to mention the nurturing and attention paid to us in infancy.

Another narration, or "Hadith," from the life of the Prophet Muhammad again shows us just how much we owe to our mothers.

A man once asked the Prophet to whom he should show the most kindness. The Prophet replied: "Your mother, next your mother, next your mother, and then your father." (Sunan of Abu-Dawood) In other words, we must treat our mothers in a manner befitting their exalted position - and, again, revere the wombs that bore us.

The Arabic word for womb is "rahem." Rahem is derived from the word for mercy. In Islamic tradition, one of God's 99 names is "Al-Raheem," or "the Most Merciful."

There exists, therefore, a unique connection between God and the womb. Through the womb, we get a glimpse of the Almighty's qualities and attributes. It nurtures, feeds and shelters us in the early stages of life. The womb can be viewed as one manifestation of divinity in the world.

One cannot help but make the parallel between a Loving God and a compassionate Mother. Interestingly, the Quran does not portray God as exclusively male or female. As a matter of fact, by revering our mothers, we are paying respect to God.

Each of us should appreciate what we have in our mothers. They are our teachers and our role models. Every day with them is an opportunity to grow as a person. Every day away from them is a missed opportunity.

Noble Qur'an says:

"And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word. And make yourself submissively gentle to them with compassion, and say: O my Lord! Have compassion on them, as they brought me up (when I was) little." Noble Qur'an (17:23-24)

Again Noble Qur'an says:

And We have enjoined man in respect of his parents - his mother bears him with faintings upon faintings and his weaning takes two years - saying: Be grateful to Me and to both your parents; to Me is the eventual coming. And if they contend with you that you should associate with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them, and keep company with them in this world kindly, and follow the way of him who turns to Me, then to Me is your return, then will I inform you of what you did. Noble Qur'an (31:14-15)

WOMEN'S ROLE IN ISLAM

The Purpose of Life: Wherever God talks about the human beings (Insaan) or whenever He talks about human soul (Nafs) in the Qur'an, Muslims theologians and scholars have never considered that humanness or the soul as 'male' or 'female'. (See 51:56, 91:1-10; 53:38-39)

The male or female division is only possible when we talk about the physical dimension of humans, not when we talk about the spiritual dimension. And so, from the Islamic perspective, the humanness of woman has never been denied or questioned; nor has there ever been any discussion whether she possesses a soul or not.

Since both are same in their humanness, both have been created for the same purpose: to serve God.

The Virtues in Human Beings: Whenever and wherever Islam has talked about virtues in human beings, it has not differentiated between men and women. Both have the potential to acquire knowledge. Both, men and women, are expected to exhibit the spirit of piety and other good attributes in Islam

Parents are one of the means by which Allah SWT exercises His tarbiya (cherishing). They are due thankfulness, obedience, and gentleness towards their faults. If they command something contrary to Islam, they must not be obeyed yet even in that circumstance a Muslim must keep up good ties with them and consort with them honorably. He or she should never speak a harsh word to them or otherwise abuse them but instead should forgive them and ask Allah SWT to forgive them. Other actions that have been particularly mentioned are including parents in prayers and taking care of them when they are elderly. This is what is meant by the "beautiful conduct" that Allah SWT has commanded regarding parents. Remember that doing good by parents takes precedence even over hijra and jihad!

Mothers are one of the means by which Allah SWT exercises His creation. Beyond what she is due as a parent, a mother is additionally due special feelings of reverence and dutifulness. This is because of the travails that she suffered during pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. The Prophet (sAas) has particularly instructed that mothers are due the best conduct four times before fathers are.
              ... .   …..What is love?........................

"what is love?.This mystical,mythical question goes back to ancient times-without a coherent answer.Each person’s experience of love is uniquely varied,and each person’s understanding of love is different from the next.Love varies from one period to another along the length of human life;a person can have many loves,but each experience will be different from the next.My friends,Summing it up,or pinning it down,are both impossible.

"Love is like the sunshine;no matter how tightly you shut down your heart,the  sunlight will find a way to shine into it.Love process is unstoppable"…………..Nurmuhemmet Yasin .

Love is like a continually shattering mirror that always leaves behind images etched in people’s hearts;but it will itself remain a mystery forever.

Many people give themselves over to this mystery,but while love can produce the most tender and delicate feelings in anyone’s soul, it alone can open a window in the heart of a very few.

"A simple analogy might be that of spring water which satisfies an extremely thirsty soul.Just imagine,in the intense heat of midsummer,a very thirsty soul using both hands to scoop the running water from a roadside creek to drink with a joy that satisfies his thirst.such a sensation is beyond compare.

In fact,love is a sort of deeply pleasing satisfaction,

but with various manifestations.It defies explicit definition.

The way I see it,"Regardless of the secret mystery of love,it is a process in your feelings and in your heart.Love,too,always manifests itself in the body.Love will appear repeatedly in your life.I am talking about a solid,concrete form of love. Still other forms of love exist secretly in human life.

In brief,as a living human being with a soul,it’s impossible not to fall in love in the course of a life time.You must love or have loved someone or something.Think about it.
 After worshiping Allah SWT alone, beautiful conduct to parents is the next most important duty for a Muslim. Considering that mothers are due this conduct even before fathers, it is no wonder that the Prophet (sAas) also said that Paradise is at the feet of mothers!
