A French woman took her 14-year-old son to the Islamic Center, holding his hand, wanting him to convert to Islam. When they arrived at the center, the boy approached the imam and said: "My mother asks you to help me convert to Islam."
The imam asked the boy: "Do you want to convert to Islam yourself?"
The boy replied, “I didn't think about it. But my mother wants me to convert to Islam. "
The imam was surprised by the boy's answer and asked: "Is your mother a Muslim?"
The boy replied, "No, I don't even know why she wants me to convert to Islam."
The imam asked him: "Where is your mother?"
The boy replied, "she is outside."
The imam told the boy, "Go and call so I can talk to her."
The boy went out and returned with his mother.
The imam asked the woman, “Is what I heard from your son true? Do you want him to convert to Islam even though you are not a Muslim yourself? "
The woman replied, "Yes, that's right."
The imam was surprised by the woman's answer and asked: "Why?"
The boy's mother says:
- I have a neighbor, a Muslim,
whenever she goes outside and takes the children to school, I see them kissing her hand. In reality, happiness never left this family.
Dear Imam!
I have not seen a single Muslim in this country who would send his parents to nursing homes. Please take my son and teach and mentor him, I hope that he will treat me as you do with your parents.
...
One of the commandments of our religion is to do good to your parents. The respect shown by the young people for their mother made a neighboring woman want her son to convert to Islam and go to the Islamic Center to fulfill her wish.
How beautiful is our religion, Islam!
BROTHERS and SISTERS! Let our behavior and manners be a call to Islam!
May Allaah make us light for others to accept the Deen.Aameen.

A man from the tribe of Banu Nawfal Ibn 'Abd Manaaf married a second wife who was fair and pretty.
Umm Mahjan, his first wife, who was dark in complexion, was upset when she heard the news. Jealousy and disappointment drove
her to confront her husband, but he explained,
"By Allaah, Umm Mahjan, there is no need to jealously guard me anymore. I am an old man. You too are old and there is no need for me to be jealous over you.
Nobody can be more honoured in my sight than you; neither does anybody
enjoy a greater right over me than you.
I, therefore, advise you to accept my decision and avoid bad thoughts from taking hold of you." These words pleased her and she felt comfortable.
A few days later, he said to her, "Wouldn't you like to live together with my new wife?
LOVE IS FROM ALLAH AND SEPARATION IS FROM SHAYTAAN.
You see that your fiancee that is making your blood hot, you wish you could hold her hands, you wish you could hug her, you wish it was allowed to kiss her even once, you wish he could peck or cuddle you,
you wish he could sing his love for you, you can't just wait till your guardian gives the green light, so that you can jump into his arms.
Just chill, when the knot is tied, half of these cravings and feelings will vanish immediately, after the honeymoon,
the remaining half will start withering away. He texts you 'I love you' thrice a day now, but after marriage, saying it for even once becomes a problem, and he can't just explain why he doesn't say it anymore. It's the work of Shaitan.
1. Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gifts and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.
2. Get a mentor and follow his instructions
and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.
3. Make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open. Create a network of friends and not just connections.
5. Show kindness to everyone. Some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow. The biggest dog in the neighbourhood was once a puppy. Keep the information/secret to yourself.
6. Always plan ahead and be proactive. He that plans the future works less in the future.
At the time of Khalifa Umar bin Khattab, three people came to him dragging a young man with them and said to him:
Oh leader of the believers, this man has murdered our father.
Umar: Why did you kill their father?
Young man: I'm a guardian.
My camel ate from his farm, and their Father threw a stone at the Camel and the Camel died. I also took the stone and threw it at their Father and he also died.
Umar: Because of this, I will pass judgment (charge you with murder).
Young man: I ask for 3 days before you pass the judgment. My late father left me some wealth and I have a sister to take care of. If you kill me now, the wealth and my sister will have no guardian.
People seem to think that the matters of proposal and all the hurts, pains, betrayal and separation that sometimes happens in it, will not be judged on the day of resurrection. For real? People misbehave with the feelings of others and
move on with life as if it's nothing. Don't employ the nollywood style or the soap opera style of calling off engagements with people.
Some brothers would propose to two or three sisters at a time, focus on one of them, while toying with the feelings of the rest, eventually
he marries one and abandons the rest in tears. Yet, tomorrow he will be wondering why his marriage is filled with problems, perhaps one of the sisters you betrayed and abandoned might have reported you to Allah and supplicated against you before the Lord of the worlds.
