Why Allah Made Friends
Allah made the world with a heart full of love,
Then He looked down from Heaven above,
And saw that we all need a helping hand,
Someone to share with, who'll understand.
He made special people to see us through
The glad times and the sad times, too;
A person on whom we can always depend,
Someone we can call a friend.
Allah made friends so we'll carry a part Of
His perfect love in all our hearts.

With several long hours before her flight.
She hunted for a book in the airport shop,
Bought a baPoem : Cookie Thiefg of cookies and found a place to drop.

That the man beside her, as bold as could be,
Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between,
Which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene
She read, munched cookies, and watched the clock,
As the gustly "cookie thief" diminishe…

The Muslim Woman and her Ownself
Prologue
Islam encourages the Muslims to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity.
According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (PBUH) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith:
"You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and…

We Hear and we Obey
HE HONEST MUSLIM receives the order of Allah (the Almighty)
and hastens to manifest his love to Islam into action and
listens to and obeys the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH). He
does not give attention to the lost and misleading ways of the
masses of human beings who do not realize their awaiting
destiny. Allah (the Almighty) negated the existence of belief in those
who turn away from Him and from His Messenger (PBUH)
saying:

Establishing an Islamic Family
“And Allah has made for you from your homes a place of rest” [Soorah an-Nahl (24): 80]
Allah mentions His complete favor upon His slaves from what He has created for them in regards to their houses being places of tranquility. They are places of refuge, screening and of benefit from all aspects.
A house for us is a place of eating, marriage, sleeping and rest. A place of privacy, meeting one's wife and children, a place to safeguard oneself. It is a place of sec…

Are Muslim Women Oppressed?
Among the many topics of interest to non-Muslims, the status of Muslim women and the theme of their rights -- or rather, the perceived lack of them – seems to be foremost. The media’s portrayal of Muslim women, usually outlining their “oppression and mystery” seems to contribute to this negative perception.
The main reason for this is that people often fail to distinguish between culture and religion -- two things that are completely different. In fact, Islam conde…

What Women Want?
While some men may treat women like children, Islam as Prophet Muhammad taught it, takes a different view.
Muhammad the Feminist
I wonder how many men and women nowadays can digest the idea of calling Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) a "feminist".
That is, a feminist in the sense of one who always stood for the rights of women. In fact, he was just that, though the term applied to the Prophet could sound a bit quaint or anachronistic.
In a cultural…

Ideals and Role Models for Women in Qur'an, Hadith and Sirah
Exhibitions portray ideals: all that is best in a person's work, a society, a period of artistic endeavour and so on.
A talk at an exhibition should do the same, so I shall begin by putting forward the ideals of Islam concerning women, and their role models. I shall show how these ideals are set forth in the Qur'an, which Muslims consider to be the revealed word of God - Allah - in the Arabic language, and also refer to the Hadith a…

Beauty Queens Outside and Slobs Inside?
In the West women dress with looks to kill outside the home and save the sweats and t-shirts for inside. Most women will look very beautiful while going outside of the house, but look like a slob inside the house.
The one of them spends at least an hour taking a shower in the morning, putting on makeup, fixing her hair, and making sure she will look snazzy and smell pleasant when she steps out the door.
When this sweetly scented woman steps back in the…

Women's Issues: Inner Modesty
Dr. Aisha Hamdan
In Islamic discourse a great deal of emphasis is placed on the issue of hijab for women with much debate about the extent and nature of that covering. This is obviously an important issue for Muslim women, but an equally significant topic is that of Modesty. The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhe wa sallam passed by an Ansari man who was counseling his brother on modesty (He was advising him not to be too much shy or modest). The Prophet said: "Leave him…
