"
The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam said: People from my Ummah will drink intoxicants, calling it names other than its real name. One of our Ummah’s biggest problems is convincing ourselves that forbidden things can become halal if we name it differently. The early idol worshippers called their Shirk; intercession. Riba is forbidden and abhorred, so we call it interest. Bribes are known today as gifts and promotion items! Nudity is regarded as art, promoted by Hollywood and sought after by the world of fashion. Domestic violence is a sin and a crime. Yet, some of the men express their false manhood under the name of discipline by beating a defenseless woman. Cheating and lying becomes permissible under the name of politics or journalism. The non Muslims consider backbiting and slandering part of their 1st amendment and expressing their freedom of speech. Some students of knowledge became the watchdog over every Muslim and such backbiting changed in their eyes from vice to virtue! Homosexuality to some is normal and they describe it as “coming out of the closet” or experimenting!
In Islam, what counts are the acts and not their names. Therefore, be careful not to be one of them as Allah knows all.❞
"— Sh. Assim Alhakeem
"Women like attention and they like to be told clearly that they are loved. Don’t be stingy in expressing your love for your wife. If you become limited in expressing your love, you will create a barrier of harshness between you and her, and there will be a decrease in affection."
— Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Rahimahullah)
Manners Please
From ‘A´ishah who said: that the Messenger of Allah - salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam - said:
Indeed a man reaches the level of the one who prays the night prayer and fasts during the day, due to his good manners.
(Silsilah Ahadith As-Sahihah No.795)
"Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood."

"Do not act in order to be mentioned, and hide your good deeds as you hide your bad ones ."

"”The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do."

‘No one will be allowed to disturb Karachi peace: President Zardari,’ reads The News’ headline of December 17. What peace, Mr President?
Dr Ghayur Ayub (karachi)
"I’m called ‘the poorest president’, but I don’t feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more. This is a matter of freedom. If you don’t have many possessions then you don’t need to work all your life like a slave to sustain them, and therefore you have more time for yourself"
— Jose Mujica, President of Uruguay aka The Worldest Poorest President. He donates roughly 90% of his income to charity (keeping $775 a month) and has opted to live on his wife’s farmhouse with their three-legged dog over the presidential palace. Kind of makes Ahmadinejad’s mattress-less, one suit wearing regime sound like a party. (via insaniyat)
A’isha (ra) narrates:
“Once, when I saw the Prophet (saw) in a good mood, I said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah for me!’
So, he said: ‘O Allah! Forgive A’isha her past and future sins, what she has hidden, as well as what she has made apparent.’
So, I began smiling, to the point that my head fell into the lap of the Messenger of Allah (saw) out of joy.
The Messenger of Allah said to me: ‘Does my supplication make you happy?’
I replied: ‘And how can your supplication not make me happy?’
He then said: ‘By Allah, it is the supplication that I make for my Ummah in every prayer.’
(Narrated in Al Bazzaar, classified as Hasan according to Shaykh Albaani rahimahullah)

"A believer has a cheerful face, a sorrowful heart, a very broad chest (very generous), and a very humble heart. He hates high status and dislikes fame. His grief is long, his courage is far-reaching, his silence is much and, his time is occupied. He is grateful, enduring, buried in his thoughts, sparing in his friendship (with others), of a bright demeanor and of a soft temperament. He is stronger than stone but more humble than a slave."
— Ali ibne Abi Talib (AS)
