HARMATTAN DESCENDS; KEEPING YOUR INFANT WARM

All Bing images

Slowly and surely, the blessed weather changes and Harmattan is upon us already. This season is characterized by dry, flaky and itchy skin, sore throat, cracked feet, numb fingers, runny nose and common cough. To all the Ummus and Abus, the concern is how to ensure that our babies do not contract any ailment that seem to constantly persist in this period. You will all agree with me that it's not a pretty experience when babies and infants develop colds and are in discomfort. As adults, we can adequately manage ourselves to ensure we are comfortable, same cannot be said of our kids, whose aim most times is to disengage themselves from the blanket used in covering them at night.

THE MANY DOORS OF JANNAH

And those who feared their Lord will be led to the Garden in crowds, until behold, they arrive there. Its gates will be opened, and its keepers will say: 'Peace be upon you! You have done well! Enter here, to dwell therein.' (Quran 39:73)

Masha Allah, sometimes our faith skyrockets such that nothing feels impossible to do. And at other times, we feel so low spiritually that all that matters is fulfilling the performance of the five daily prayers and resting... at either times, the thoughts of the beauty of aljannah is enough motivation, enough ginger to make us better Muslims than we already are... even better than we thought we could ever be. oh, the beauty of Jannah, who wouldn't want to be there? Happiness unquantified, peace unparralled, enjoyment galore. Such beauty that Allah has prepared for those who believe and do right that the eyes have never seen, the ears have never heard and even our thoughts have never imagined! ALLAHU AKBAR! ALLAHU AKBAR!

HOW DO YOU REACT IN THE FACE OF OPPRESSION?

'You know what Aisha, I think you are so full of crap, you are such a pretender and I will ensure that I deal with you in every way I can. I will summon Halima and Amina and the three of us will treat your mess-up... mmssshew.'  Maryam screamed at Aisha and pointed her index fingers menancingly at her.

 

Aisha was with her cousin Zainab when she was accosted by Maryam the bully and her cohorts, Halima and Amina.

The Pain of Discipline


It was one of those weekday mornings when I had to wake up earlier than usual to practice my

Arabic and Quran before going to work. I woke up and all I wanted to do was sleep!, sleep!! and

sleep!!!. I laid there thinking why do I have to do this, “torture” myself by depriving myself of sleep.

For a couple of minutes, I laid down debating “should I”, “should I not” and gave myself every

reason why I should just go back to bed and forget about practising anything.
