| From among the punishments of sinful acts are that they cause the servant to forget himself. | |
| So, consequently when a person forgets his soul, he corrupts it, and then destroys it. If one would ask, “How does someone forget himself if he does forget? Which things does he remember?” Allaah the Most High has said,“And do not be like those who forgot Allaah (i.e. became disobedient to Allaah) and He caused them to forget their own selves.” [Sooratul-Hashr (59):19]In other words, glory is to Him, Allaah punishes the one who forgets Him with two punishments:1) Allaah forgets him.2) He causes the individual to forget himself.Allaah’s forgetting the servant involves His disregard, abandonment and neglect of the disobedient one. As a result, destruction draws closer to him than his own face and hand.As for the sinner, his forgetting himself means that the person stops thinking about the finer qualities of the soul and the things that lead to its success and well-being. He forgets all of this. The matter does not even come to mind. Nor does he bring it to mind.In addition, the disobedient servant is made to forget the diseases of the heart and soul along with the agony that accompanies them. In the end, there is no effort to remove these destructive ills that of which eventually lead him to corruption and ruin. He becomes a sick individual covered with layers of disease. The internal disorder causes destruction to spread through him. However, this negligent soul is not aware of his sickness nor does the remedy occur in his mind.This is the worst kind of punishment. What punishment is worse than an individual neglecting, and then destroying himself? He forgets the beneficial qualities his soul possesses. This rebellious servant becomes heedless of the causes of his acquiring good in this life and a permanent resting place in the abode of eternal bliss. “Sins and Their Punishments” by Ibnul Qayyim al-Jawziyyah; Pgs. 54 – 56 |

Stop Committing Suicide
To my muslimahs As salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
My first published poem.
I am not an expert on anything I just have lived long enough to know better. Many women have lived trough domestic violence, drug addiction, divorce, the lost of a child and the fact is we are not the designers of our destiny: Allah Subhanna wa Tallah is.
When you are alone, sadden, hurt, betrayed, hungry and tired, who do you turn to?
When enough is enough? When a black eye becomes a sign of abuse? When a drink or a drug becomes your last run?
Stop Committing Suicide
For the sake of our future
For the sake of our children
For the love of God,
Stop committing suicide.
Every day, every night, every time
I look into your eyes
I can only say,
Stop committing suicide.
Every day, every night, every time
That you don’t care any more and
Little ..babies.. cry at night
Stop committing suicide.
And every day, every night every time
A mother, a women, a sister, me
Raises her voice and gives a message
Of hope
We will stop committing suicide
The Eight Things that Nullify the Fast:

Fasting In a Nutshell

1. Sexual Intercourse: If it is done during the day in Ramadhaan, by someone who is obligated to fast then he has to make a great expiation along with making up that day. The expiation is to free a slave. If he can’t find one to free or is not capable, then he has to fast for two consecutive months. And if he not even capable of doing this, then he has to feed sixty poor people.
2. Ejaculation while one is awake through masturbation, hugging, kissing, fondling, etc.
3. Eating or drinking, whether the thing consumed is useful or harmful, like cigarettes.
4. Injection of nourishment that may substitute for food, because it constitutes as consuming food and drink. But the injections that do not provide nourishment do not break the fast whether they are injected into the muscles or the veins; and whether the injected person finds its taste in his throat or not.
5. Injection of blood (blood transfusion); for instance someone who loses blood and is injected with blood to replace the blood that was lost.
6. Menstruation and postnatal bleeding.
7. The extraction of blood by means of cupping (Hijaamah), and similar means.
However, if blood comes out, by itself, such as nasal bleeding or tooth extraction, and
likewise, then this does not break the fast; for this is neither cupping nor implied in its
meaning.
8. Deliberately vomiting. If it is unintentional, it does not break the fast.
Some Points of Benefit:
1/ It is permissible for the fasting person to intend to fast, while being in a state of
Janaabah (sexual impurity) and then he may purify himself by making ghusl after the break of dawn.
2/ If a woman, in Ramadhaan, becomes clean and free of her menses or post-natal
bleeding before the break of dawn, she must fast, even if she doesn’t take a ghusl
, until after dawn.
3/ It is permissible for the one who is observing the fast to have his wisdom tooth or
other teeth extracted, and to treat his wound, and to use nose or eye drops. And this
will not break his fast even if he senses the taste of the drops in his throat.
4/ It is permissible for him who is observing the fast to clean his teeth with a miswaak at the beginning of the day and at the end of it. This is a sunnah while fasting, just as it is while not fasting.
5/ It is also permissible for the fasting person to do that which lessens the severity of
heat and thirst, like cooling off by washing his body with water or using an air
conditioner.
6/ Also the fasting person can spray into his mouth what which alleviates for him the
shortness of breath caused by pressure or something else.
