Note: Even If You Are Not Close Friends With Some Muslims Try To Mention Them In Your Loving Prayers Often

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

🗒️ Allah the Almighty knows best. Yesterday Thursday there were some reminders from Facebook regarding the "birthday" of one of our late colleagues and former teachers sister Morsida Pandao who passed away in the previous year. Although I don't celebrate birthdays Alhamdulillah and never have celebrated anybody's birthday ever since our stay in Saudi Arabia for many years, I have some good memories Alhamdulillah of dear sister Morsida Pandao one of which was, besides her being a generally approachable Muslimah who had a cheerful countenance much of the time despite her health issues which she never informed us about until after it was obvious she wasn't feeling well, is that time on a Jumuah Friday when we prayed beside each other and she shared with me the prayer mat that she was praying on. I also recall how she often would read from the Noble Qur'an in a quiet corner while other teachers were working on some tasks etc. I feel a bit sad we couldn't pasyal pasyal together at least once due to busy schedules and insufficient funds on several occasions. But I ask Allah the Almighty to have mercy on dear sister Morsida Pandao and her family always, to reunite us with her in Jannah Paradise and to protect us from every torment of both worlds and bless us with full peace and contentment in this dunya, al-barzakh and the afterlife. Ameen. If I could send her a message, but I know for sure she can't read these messages because we're in different places, I would tell her that
Inn-sha-Allah we can meet again and have much better time and moments spent together in Jannah Paradise.

May Allah the Most Merciful forgive her if she had any debts and keep her at ease in this world and reunite us in Jannatul Ferdaus with Allah's Mercy. Ameen.

🌼 Abu Darda RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “No Muslim servant supplicates for his brother (or sister in Islam) behind his (or her) back but that the angel says: "And for you the same."”

Reminder to read Surah Al-Kahf every Jumuah Friday and include the Muslim Ummah in your Duas, particularly those who passed away recently 🌻

Poem: Some Advice To My Daughter And Her Half-Sister Regarding Polygyny

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💚 To my loving daughter and Zara, her half-sister, 

Some tips from one who, for Allah's sake, loves your father, 

Truly even if he was married to another - 

And to each wife who may have thought, wondered or uttered 

"I do not oppose polygyny. As a matter 

Of fact, I know it's halal - a test for tough lovers.

I'm not as strong as them. It's not for me but others."

~•~

Without a doubt, Allah the Most Wise gave men the right 

To be married legally to a max. of four wives, 

Not to spoil men while some wives suffer, complain or cry, 

But to increase the number of pious kids worldwide, 

Or to strengthen ties between different clans and tribes,

Or train men to show wisdom in managing their time, 

Or teach women to control their feelings and tame pride.

~•~

Polygyny may not appeal to most at first, but 

For something to be the correct choice it's not a must 

For it to be the most common or most well thought of.

Often what seems strange or unpopular is what's loved 

By our Creator Allah the Almighty above 

If that action involves humans humbly giving up 

Selfishness and the kind of attachment that destructs. 

~•~

Really loving your husband for Allah doesn't mean 

"You can have only one wife. That wife is only me. 

Keep just one wife. You exclusively belong to me." 

But real love for Allah's sake can state confidently:

"Dear husband, I'm here as your wife for Allah Only. 

That you have a right to remarry I do believe, 

And seeing you lawfully happy brings inner peace."

~•~

Your spouse loving another doesn't mean you're loved less.

Take moments when they're together as chances to rest, 

Opportunities to enhance strength to pass brief tests, 

And self-reminders that you're doing your very best 

For Allah to stay loyal, preserve this blessed marriage, 

And prove your patience outweighs emotional distress, 

Aware of Jannah's bliss, eager to be rewarded.

~•~

While I can't convince all to welcome polygyny, 

I advise myself and all to bravely, patiently 

And sincerely accept Allah's Qadr/Destiny - 

That Allah granted many males the ability 

To love and care for more than one woman faithfully.

So persevere if Allah decreed that you would be 

One of your husband's wives. After each challenge comes ease.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If I were to order anyone to prostrate to another, I would have ordered a wife to prostrate before her husband."

Grade: Hasan (Fair) according to At-Tirmidhi

Ali Al-Qari said, "That she prostrates to her husband is due to the number of his rights over her and her difficulty in maintaining gratitude for them. This rhetorical point conveys the obligation of the wife to obey her husband in his rights. Indeed, prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."
