This week I got proper told off by my #dad πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ for busting a gut essay-writing at night which I often feel is the only time I get to do concentrated work. But I suffered for it.

He told me what’s the point damaging your health for a top grade in an essay? Thanks dad.
He said it’s OK just to get a pass. (Ha ha! No it isn’t for me)
But he’s right. When you’re a driven person you can forget to keep your perspective on things.

Health & its connection to sleep v.important. If there aren’t enough hours in the day...we need to let go of stuff.
Otherwise we can’t stay on our β€˜A’ game long-term.

It’s important to regularly reassess if we’ve taken on too much...& let go of things. The Prophet ο·Ί said your body and eyes have rights!!!

Without balance, our health, our relationships, our connection to Allah can suffer.

@GoldingBF Secondary schools and doctors in UK literally give underage girls access to contraception and the pill without informing their parents. This young lady has been saved.

Girls in the West are groomed away from the protection of their fathers and menfolk. They have to fend for themselves as soon as they mature. When a man shows a modicum of protective jealousy or sets standards, he is shamed. This opens girls up to abuse.
β€œAre you saying all men are predators?”

No. But good men have to protect women from the predatory men. When a society tells men that women don’t need them, they don’t need their protection or guardianship…the wolves in that society have a banquet.
Islam seeks to protect girls from the cradle to the grave. Her father is responsible for her care & provision until she gets married. He is her guardian. He facilitates her getting married. Then her husband is responsible for provision and protection.

My kid came home anxious about what humans are apparently doing to cause β€˜climate change’.

How to have the β€˜climate’ conversation with Muslim kids who are anxious:
🧡
1. Explain to them that Allah is in control of the world, the weather, the β€˜climate’, the universe. Nothing good or bad happens without his permission. So always ask for good from Allah and expect good.
2. If all of the world gathers together to cause harm, they cannot, unless Allah allows it, if all the world got together to cause benefit, they could not without Allah allowing it. These are fundamental theological beliefs for us as Muslims and should cause us to rely on Allah… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Imagine a scene in the park where the sun shines brightly and the air is filled with the laughter of children. In this idyllic setting, I found myself engaged in a deeply moving conversation with a young mother. Image
Fatigue was etched upon her face and her weary eyes spoke volumes about the sleepless nights she had endured while caring for her two little ones.
She felt ill-equipped as a mother, longing for a sense of freedom she hadn’t anticipated before becoming a parent. She yearned for freedom from the demands of raising children, which had taken its toll on her marriage and disrupted her plans.

Every Muslim should make a plan to learn Arabic as a language- the language of the Qur’an.

People ask how they can learn if they are not native Arabic speakers? Here are 7 resources or methods for learning Classical Arabic (fus-ha) that I and my family have used and liked:
🧡
1. An Arabic tutor from Egypt:
Qortoba Institute @qortobainstitut @QIAS_qortoba and
Bakkah Institute: @BakkahInstitute
have great online tutors that have levels or bespoke classes for your needs!
(Mention me and they’ll give you a discount πŸ™ŒπŸ»)
2. Intensive Arabic course over the β˜€οΈSummer in a country like Egypt:
Qortoba.net have intensive Summer courses with excursions to fun sights too.
