Funny – You Look Gorgeous On Your Profile Picture

Date: April 2, 2015

You look so gorgeous on your profile pic! So funny and dangerous the caption is. This is a problem of crisis. If a person tells you such words in internet or any social networking sites, you just ignore it and think now on. Allah doesn’t like to expose his servant’s body. So please don’t expose your body parts or never publish your photos in social networking sites. To keep the family life risk free and peaceful, please avoid using snaps in social networking sites. You must teach your kids to do the same for their best future.

"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."

Parenting: Nurture your Child Emotionally, Spiritually and Physically

Parenting is a great time in one’s life. As far as parenting is concerned, it is a challenging and lovely responsibility. There are a number of different needs that a person has in his or her life. That needs may be physical, mental or spiritual. A parent should give the correct path to his child on how to fulfill these needs by the time. Good parenting is all about meeting all these needs of a child in a balanced and correct order. Many parents think that, by meeting the physical and material needs of their children, all their responsibilities are complete. No! You have to make them learn how to lead a life with spirituality and kindness. Normally, if a parent is very much busy with his job or something else, he tries to manage the needs of his child by gifting everything that is possible with money power. By doing this, you are spoiling your child’s great future. So, every parent should find some time to pay attention to his child and to love him or her with affection and care. Each child has emotional needs and spiritual needs. To meet these needs, there are different ways for parents. Parents can read about this particular subject by referring respective books or magazines. Parents can go for a class online or offline that covers the psychological scene of a child. Try to find some time to meet the intellectual needs of your children that their school cannot meet-such as visit historical places, visit some places of natural beauty, centers of worship, homes for the aged or the infirm, factories, museums, or a slum, a forest or an orphanage, a shrine or a park, a dance performance or a planetarium or a bakery, combining in this way entertainment as well as exposure to various situations and dimensions of lived reality. Parents should have to teach their children about God and his wisdom. Make them pray to God everyday at regular time with family members. Let them thank God for the good time they had in life. One cannot acquire good parenting skills by simply giving birth to a child. Its a regular practice to lead the child to a good future by giving him or her better guidance spiritually, physically and emotionally.

Muslim Women and Leadership

Did you ever think that women are the being to live under men? If yes, you are mistaken and you are an ignorant person. Qur&8217;an says that Islam women can be leaders and administrators and judges. Allah has created his servants to lead an equal life. There is no inequality in treating women and men in Islam. Islam teaches that women are entitled to be perfect rulers because they are created to be more sensitive in certain regards, as entities whose compassionate aspects are more pronounced and who live by a profound love and affection, and also in terms of the establishment of justice. Even if the rules and sayings are like this, still womanhood is getting only secondary importance. The ugly idea that women cannot be trusted and that their every word needs to be treated with suspicion predominates in bigotry. But you have to understand that the Qur&8217;an totally eliminates this perverse way of thinking. Qur&8217;an says that women are the valuable servants to be respected, whose words are to be trusted and who need to be tended carefully, like plants. So we must protect, respect and care women in all spheres. From now on, if any one still thinks that Qur&8217;an addresses men and that this makes men superior, they must understand the truth, they are still interpreting the Qur&8217;an in a non proper way. The Qur&8217;an imposes more responsibilities on men because of the value attached to women. This is a blessing for women.
