20 Uses of Honey

2015-07-26T04:02:00.002-07:00

Turns out that Americans consume 1.5 pounds of honey per person annually, and there are more than 300 types of honey in the United States alone. That's impressive, and we figured that if honey gets to be honored all month long, the least we could do is give you 20 different uses for it. Enjoy!

1. Put it on your lips

Did you know that making your own lip balm is as easy as tracking down some almond oil, beeswax and honey? Sure is. Makes you feel a little guilty about that $10 version you picked up at the health food store yesterday, doesn't it?

2. Make your own honey moisturizer

If you've got a handful of sweet smelling herbs -- think lavender -- laying around and ready to be used, why not use them for your own homemade honey lotion? Warm honey over a saucepan until it gets to a liquid consistency. Pour honey over herbs and cap tightly; the ratio you want to use is 1 tablespoon of herbs per 8 ounces of honey. Let sit for a week and then mix 1 teaspoon of liquid into an 8 ounce bottle of unscented lotion.

3. Eat it with goat cheese

In need of a classy hors d'oeuvre but lacking in the time department? Try this: put a round of goat cheese in a ramekin, sprinkle honey and chopped walnuts on top and place in oven at 350F until honey and cheese are both soft. Serve with baguette or crackers and you'll be the life of the party.

4. Prepare for the end of the world

You never know what's going to happen, so stock it. Now.

5. Drink it

We all know a drop of honey in tea is good for a sore throat, but you can add it to most drinks for an extra energy boost. And simply because it's a whole lot better than tossing in a few Sweet 'N Lows.

6. Make a salad
One of my favorite and easiest fruit salads uses just a touch of honey to enhance the sugars in the fruit, and it's a perfect late summer dessert.

    1 cantaloupe, chopped
    3 nectarines, chopped
    4 tablespoons chopped basil
    2 tablespoons honey

Mix together and enjoy!

7. Give yourself a facial

Honey is a natural humectant with antimicrobial properties, which means your skin will be happy when you give it some sweet honey love. Try a basic honey wash by mixing a dollop of honey and two tablespoons of warm water and massaging the mixture into your skin. Or you can go all out and try the Cucumber Honey Facial.

8. Go the extra mile

Forget energy bars and shots, just pop a tablespoon of honey before your next workout. Seriously, it has been proven to boost athletic performance.

9. Remove parasites

Got a post-Southeast Asia backpacking trip bug that just won't leave you alone? Mix up a good blend of honey, water and vinegar and you'll quickly be on your way to being parasite free.

10. Clean your cuts and scrapes

Honey can actually be used as an antiseptic, like a natural Neosporin. Because of its many antimicrobial properties, it can be used to treat wounds and even burns.

11. Get rid of your hangover

Forget a morning of popping ibuprofen, spread some honey on your toast or add some to your tea. Because honey is loaded with fructose, it will help speed up the metabolism of alcohol.

12. Clear up your dry elbows

Nothing's worse than scratchy elbows (no really) so next time, after you've washed and scrubbed, rub some honey on to soften the skin. Leave on for 30 minutes then wash off.

13. Soften your skin

Honey is an excellent exfoliant. You can pair it with ground almonds and lemon juice for a killer homemade facial scrub.

14. Mix a drink

After you've been busy reaping all the health benefits that honey has to offer, it's time to celebrate, and what better way than with a good ole cocktail. Honey Gin Cocktail? Bring it.

15. Eat the honeycomb. No really, just do it.

Yes, it can be done! One of our fave food bloggers Clotilde Dusoulier, of Chocolate & Zucchini, put the ingredient to her readers and got some fun responses. The best sounding one? Mix it with crunchy peanut butter on toast.

16. Get an energy boost

Feeling a tad lethargic? Skip the coffee and go for the honey instead. Mix a tablespoon into a cup of tea and you'll be feeling better in no time.

17. Beautify your hair

In the shower, after you wash your, coat the ends with a bit of honey. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing out and you'll find that your hair is less frizzy and extra conditioned. Or make your hair shiny and bright by adding one teaspoon honey to one quart of water, and after washing your hair, pouring the mixture over your head. Let dry and enjoy your new-found shiny do.

18. Preserve fruit

Jam is so five years ago; show you're truly cutting edge by preserving your fruits in a honey sauce. All it takes is one part honey to ten parts water and then covering your berries. Pretty much the closest you're ever going to get to bottling up a little bit of summer.

19. Relax in the tub

Add a few tablespoons of honey to your bath, for sweeter smelling, softer feeling water. Pure bliss.

20. Lose weight

Well, what were you expecting? With a list this long it had to be pretty apparent that honey is in fact a wonder food, and as it turns out, you can even make it part of your next weight loss plan. Honey is an excellent substitute for sugar and it also helps speed up metabolism. Just remember: all things in moderation.

A papaya a day keeps obesity at bay: Experts

2012-05-01T06:04:00.000-07:00

When people are spending thousands of rupees every month on various slimming packages including laser, ultrasound and liposuction, 100 gm of papaya on an empty stomach in the morning is a guaranteed way to reduce weight and fight obesity. Ongoing research on this diabetic-friendly wonder fruit has proved the effectiveness of papaya in weight loss, say experts.
Ayurvedic physician Dr K. Jayakrishna said, “In overweight and obese people, the metabolic rate or BMR goes down. Papaya is rich in the enzyme papain, which aids the digestive process and increases metabolism which in turn helps in weight loss. Papain found in the fruit, is concentrated mainly in the skin of the fruit. Certain ayurvedic digestive tablets are prepared with the enzyme extract from the energy booster papaya.”

Calling the wonder fruit a goldmine of vitamins, minerals and fibre, Prof. N. Satya Prakash, principal, BRKR Government Ayurvedic Medical College, said, “The fruit contains a lot of fiber, is very low on protein, carbohydrates or fat content. It has just 3 kilocalories, and 0.1 gm of fat and 16 mg of phosphorus, all of which helps reduce obesity. So obese/overweight people can have three to four servings of this fruit throughout the day, starting with 100 gms of papaya in the morning. Caution should be taken to avoid other high calorie fruits like bananas, sapota, mangoes and grapes.”

Besides fighting obesity, the anti-oxidant carotenoid and bioflavanoid rich papaya is very good for lowering bad cholesterol, good for the skin, cardio vascular, immune and digestive system, provides protection against constipation and colon cancer and helps to treat sport injuries, point out doctors.

CRACKED HEELS

2012-02-06T09:52:00.001-08:00

Cracked heels are a sign of lack of attention to foot care rather than just overexposure or lack of moisturizing. Medically, cracked heels are also known as heel fissures. Fissures are regular linear cut wounds and mostly affect the surface level which comprises of the epidermis. Sometimes it may get deep into the dermis and become painful. Excessive pressure on the feet pads make the feet want to expand sideways. As the skin, surrounding the sides of the feet are dry they crack and cause cracked heels. Appearances of dry cracked heels also indicate zinc and omega-3 fatty acid deficiency.

Though cracks in the skin may arise anywhere in the body the most common is area is the rim of the heel and web of toes, which happen to be the most frequently or constantly used parts of our body. Dry skin or xerosis is one of the most common causes that lead to cracked heels .The other key reason being thick or callus skin around the rim of the heel. Most of the foot problems arise due to neglect and oversight with regard to feet care. Cracked feet, corns and other common feet ailments can be attended to and are easily avoidable.

Cracked heels are not a harmful in anyway except when the fissures or cracks are deep, and tend to become painful and the skin begins to bleed. This could lead to infection and is an avoidable situation mostly for those already suffering from chronic ailments such as diabetes or lowering immune system due to age or illness which may retard the treatment of cracked heels.

Cracked heels are a common occurrence for senior citizens or people who are constantly on their feet thus exerting pressure on the feet pad. In addition to this, sebum production decreases with age and so seniors tend to suffer from dry and cracked heels. Excessively dry skin, peeling skin, and dry and cracked skin on the heels are some of the most common skin problems that seniors face. Dry skin on the heels is often a recurrent problem. It can affect either both the heels or one of the heel. But most commonly, cracked heels affect both the feet.

Symptoms for Cracked Heels

Most Common Symptoms of Dry, Cracked Heels and Feet

Signs and symptoms that surface on the skin are simple indicators of a faulty internal activity or an external abuse. If one observes the body and its manifestations minutely one can avoid disease and disorders by treating them before they take on a destructive path. Similarly, feet care calls for a little attention and when the feet finds it lacking they indicate the following signs to show the feet could do well with some care.
• Red or Flaky Patches: This is often one of the first symptoms of dry cracked heels and if it is ignored, the condition may worsen in time. Dry skin is also vulnerable to dry skin infections and so it is important to treat the condition right away.
• Peeling and Cracked Skin: This symptom generally follows the first symptom of red or flaky skin. Peeling and cracked skin is a definite sign of dry cracked heels and immediate measures must be taken to remedy the condition. Make sure that you do not try to pull off the pieces of dry skin as this could damage the skin it is attached to. If you need to get rid of a long piece of dead sin you can use a small pair of scissors to slowly and carefully clip away the dead skin.
• Itchy Skin: Itchy skin is caused by the abnormal shrinking of the upper layers of dry skin. This excessive shrinking causes the stretching of the skin below and around the affected areas and this results in general discomfort and itchiness. You will have to get rid of the upper layers of dead skin before you start any type of treatment for dry cracked heels.
•Bleeding or Discharge from Cracks: Bleeding or discharge from cracks in your heels is a very serious problem as it indicates that the cracks not only affect the upper layers of the skin but also the lower layers of tissue. Deep cracks in the heels will also increase an individual’s risk of suffering from a skin infection in this area. Wearing closed shoes without socks while you have dry and cracked heels will only serve to further increase one’s risk of suffering from a dry and cracked heels fungus infection as closed shoes provide fungus and yeast infections with the perfect habitat to reproduce.

Causes for Cracked Heels

Most Common Causes that Lead to Cracked Heels

Here is a compilation of the most common causes that lead to cracked heels:
• Naturally dry skin or thick dry skin (callus) around the heel that is more likely to crack is often due to excessive feet activity.
• Prolonged standing at work or home .Hard floors may also cause cracks in the feet.
• Being overweight may increase the pressure on the normal fat pad under the heel, causing it to expand sideways and if the skin lacks flexibility the pressure on the feet lead to cracked heels.
• Back-open sandals or shoes allow the fat under the heel to expand sideways and increases the possibility of cracks on the heels.
• Disease and Disorders-Athlete’s foot, Psoriasis, Eczema, Thyroid disease, Diabetes and some other skin conditions may also cause cracked heels.
• Continuous exposure to water- Water, especially running water, can rob the skin of its natural oils and this can leave the skin dry and rough. Standing for prolonged periods in a damp area such as a bathroom can cause dry and cracked heels.

Here is a list of some other reasons that may lead to cracked heels:
• Age - Thick dry scaly skin lose elasticity with age and thus cracks have higher incidence with age.
• Ill fitting shoes, standing for a long time or change in walking posture.
• Unhygienic circumstances or conditions
• Unhealthy, dry scaly skin due to climate or diseases
• Deficiency of vitamins, minerals and zinc

Remedies for Cracked Heels

Natural Cures to Care for your Feet and Heels

Feet care is not a disorder one can be clueless about. This is also one of the reasons why people almost always neglect it. Primarily, feet care begins with some care. One may seek help to cure their dry cracked heels and feet by using relief measures that include home remedy treatment options which help treat fungus – one of the main causes of dry cracked heels. Home remedies have some of the best cost effective and result oriented solutions one can try and experiment with. But it is important to note that when home remedies do not cure cracked heels it is wise to take an appointment with your general physician. You can also consult him/her for further information on dry cracked heels causes, treatment, and prevention.

Here is a compilation of the best known remedies to treat cracked heels:
• Apply any shortening or hydrogenated vegetable oil after washing the feet clean on dry and cracked areas of the feet. After applying a thick coat of shortening on the feet, wear a pair of thick socks. Leaving this application overnight can surely provide positive results in few days.
• Apply the pulp of a ripe banana on the dry or cracked area of the heel. Leave it on for 10 minutes and rinse it clean. This is a simple dry cracked heels home remedy and it can be used on a daily basis to prevent and treat dry and cracked heels. You can also add half an avocado or the flesh of half a coconut to a blender along with the banana to form a thick and creamy paste. Avocados and coconuts are rich in several essential oils and fat soluble vitamins. This paste will help to provide your skin with the vitamins and oils it requires to stay soft and well moisturized.

Diet for Cracked Heels

Consume a Diet Rich in Calcium, Iron, Zinc and Omega-3 Fats

Cracked heels are caused by deficiency of vitamins, minerals, zinc and omega 3 fatty acids. Therefore it is essential to have a diet rich in vitamins, minerals and zinc. Omega-3 fatty acids are not naturally produced by the body, therefore it has to be ingested from food or supplements.
Here is list of essential foods that one can include in a regular meal and help curb deficiencies that may cause cracked heels:
• Vitamins (Vitamin E) rich foods include: vegetable oils, green vegetables, cereals, wheat germ, whole-grain products and nuts.
• Minerals (Calcium and Iron) rich foods include :
1. Calcium: Milk, cheese, yogurt, goat’s milk, fortified soya milk, mineral water, ice cream, tinned fish, juices, cereals and broccoli are excellent sources of calcium. Dairy products such as milk and yogurt are also considered as one of the best sources of calcium.
2. Iron: Meat, chicken and fish are good sources of iron. Iron is also available in cereals, eggs, vegetables and beans; however it is not as easily absorbed into the body as the iron from meat, chicken and fish.

3. Zinc Rich Foods Include: Oysters, chicken, crab, kidney beans, yogurt, brown rice, spaghetti.

4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are Largely Found In: Purslane herb, cold water fish, and flaxseed oil or flax seeds.

Other Suggestions for Cracked Heels

Here are some simple suggestions towards caring for the feet effortlessly:

• Keep feet clean and dirt free

• Exercise the feet regularly
• Alternate hot and cold water for a feet bath to soothe the feet
• Moisturize and exfoliate the feet whenever possible
• Avoid walking bare feet as much as possibleid spending prolonged periods in a wet or damp area. When washing clothes, make sure that your feet are well protected. If you are hand washing any items of clothing, make sure that the soapy water does not splash onto your feet. Detergents are meant to break down oils and so this will leave the skin on your heels dry and cracked.
• Soak your feet in warm water at least once a week as this will help to increase blood circulation to your feet. You can add a spoon of fresh mint leaf juice to the water for relief from dry cracked heels.

Helpful Tips on Eye Care

2011-11-29T22:43:00.000-08:00

With so many of us spending lots of time in front of the computer every day it comes to no surprise that research is showing a rise in visual problems. What can one do? First, it’s important to find out how you can protect your eyes through eye health exams and by making a few minor changes in your computer viewing habits.

Here are some helpful Eye Care Tips -

Positioning is everythingCorrect positioning of your computer, keyboard and typing copy is essential. Your screen should be positioned about an arm’s length from your eyes and 20 degrees below eye level. Consider foot and wrist rests for added comfort.

Lighting can make all the differenceRoom lighting should be diffuse, not direct, to reduce glare and reflections from your screen. Look into an internal or external glare screen and be sure to set your colour, contrast and brightness levels to suit you.

A little extra help for your glasses
Anti-reflective coatings on the lenses of your glasses can be applied by your optometrist to reduce discomfort and to ease reduced vision from bright and/or flickering light sources such as VDTs and fluorescent lights. And don’t forget, your doctor of optometry can talk to you about eyeglasses designed specifically for people who use computers a lot.

Take time out, our 20-20-20 rule
Step I :-
After every 20 minutes of looking into the computer screen, turn your
head and try to look at any object placed at least 20 feet away. This
changes the focal length of your eyes, a must-do for the tired eyes.

Step II :-
Try and blink your eyes for 20 times in succession, to moisten them.

Step III :-
Time permitting of course, one should walk 20 paces after every 20 minutes
of sitting in one particular posture. Helps blood circulation for the entire body.

It’s all in the blinking
Did you know that on average we blink 12 times per minute? But wait, did you know that when we’re on the computer we only blink 5 times per minute? That can add up to dry eyes. Relieve the discomfort by using artificial tear drops or gels and remember to blink!

Palming

Sit straight at your workstation and rub your palms against each other till you feel them warm. The warmth of your palms helps soothe and relax tired eyes. Then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. Count the seconds in your mind. Repeat this exercise two to three times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want. While palming, you can either rest your elbows on your desk or keep away from the desk and cup your eyes. Both ways are fine.

Splash water on your face

During breaks, splash water on your face while closing your eyes. This has an overall relaxing effect and helps you feel refreshed.

Use tea bags

Keep two used tea bags in the refrigerator before you leave for work. Once you are home, place the tea bags on your eyes for a few minutes as you relax. This not only soothes tired eyes, but also reduces puffiness.

Eat healthy

Incorporate Vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis; eat citrus fruits, green leafy veggies, tomatoes, spinach, poultry and dairy products. Pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in-between meals at the office.

Take Care....

DUTIES TOWARDS PARENTS

2011-11-19T22:49:00.000-08:00

The Holy Quran and Sunnah have laid great emphasis on meting out the treatment to the parents. Serving the parents well has been declared as a highly virtuous act and a great asset on this world as well in the Hereafter, Our parents deserve our greatest regard obedience and service after Allah and His Messenger.

Almighty Allah has decreed: "Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Allah, and that you be kind to parents."

Hadrat Abdullah Ibn Masud (Allah be pleased with him) states:

" I submitted to the Messenger of Allah ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as to which act Allah likes best."

The Messenger of Allah ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

" The prayer offered in time."

Hadrat Abdullah Ibn Masud (Allah be pleased with him) submitted:

" Whats it that Allah likes next best?"

The Messenger of Allah ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

" Good treatment of your mother and father."

Hadrat Abdullah Ibn Masud (Allah be pleased with him) again submitted:

The Messenger of Allah ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

" Jihad in the way of Allah." (Bukhari, Muslim)

Hadrat Abdullah Ibn Masud (Allah be pleased with him) reports:

" One day a person come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and submitted:

" By giving my hand into your hand I swear allegiance for performing Hijrat and Jihad and I beseech reward from Allah in return for this."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) enquired:

" Is one of your parents alive."

He submitted:

" Yes, praise be to Allah, both my father and mother are alive."

Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) observed:

" Do you really want to get a reward from Allah for performing Hijrat and Jihad?"

the man submitted:

" Yes, indeed I beseech reward from Allah in return for these acts."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) observed:

" Go then. Attend to your parents and serve them well." (Muslim)

Hadrat Abu Umama (Allah be pleased with him) reports:

"A man enquired from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him):

"O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him)! What are the rights of parents over their children?"

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said:

" Your parents are your Paradise and they are your Hell." (Ibn Majah)

Hadrat Abu Saeed khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reports that a person visited the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) from Yemen.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) enquired from him:

" Do you have any relatives at Yemen?"

He submitted:

"Yes, my father and mother are there."

Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) asked:

" Did they give you permission to depart?"

He submitted:

"No, I didnt seek their permission."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) observed:

" Go back and seek permission of your parents. Come back and join Jihad in case they agree, otherwise serve them." (Abu Dawud)

Your wealth and riches are the property of your parents and hence spend on them with an open hand.

They Holy Quran says: " They ask you concerning what they should expend. Say: whatsoever you expend of wealth (let it be) for the parents.." (Al-baqrah -215)

The Holy Quran says: " We have enjoined one man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother hear him, and in pain did she give him birth. They carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty month." (Al-Ahqaf - 15)

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) has emphasised this fact on a number of occasions.

Hadrat Abu Hurairah ( Allah be pleased with him) reports:

" A man visited the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and submitted:

" O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him)! Who deserves the best treatment from me --- my father or mother?"

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) observed:

" Your mother."

He again submitted:

" And next?"

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) observed:

" Your mother."

Third time also he received the same reply.

When the man repeated his question for the fourth time, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) observed:

" Your father." (Al- Adabul Mufrad)

Hadarat Jahma (Allah be pleased with him) visited the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and submitted:

" O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) I have come to seek your guidance for joining the Jihad."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) interrogated:

" Is your mother alive?"

Jahma ( Allah be pleased with him) submitted:

" Yes, she is alive."

Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said:

" Go back to her then and serve her, for Paradise lies under her feet." (Ibn Majah, Nasa'i)

Hadrat Awais ( May Allah show His mercy) was a contemporary of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) but he never got an opportunity to call on the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him). In spite of the burning desire in him to visit the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) had forbidden him to come to him. He could not even perform Hajj till his mother was alive. (Ibn Majah)

Foster mother also deserves respect and devotion.

Hadarat Abu Tufail ( Allah be pleased with him) reports:

" I once was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) distributing meat at a place called Jarana.

Meanwhile a lady appeared on the scene. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) showed her respect and spread out his sheet for her to sit on. I enquired from the people.

" Who is this lady?"

The people told me:

" This lady is the foster mother (Halima) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him)." (Abu Dawud)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah ( Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) observed:

" Death deprives a person of the opportunity to perform anything more, yet three things continue to be of benefit to him even after death --- a charitable act which continues benefiting people; knowledge that keeps spreading; and pious offsprings who continue to offer prayers and invoke mercy of Allah upon him." (Abu Dawud)

It is incumbent upon the offsprings to fulfill the contracts, promises and will made by their dead parents. Their parents might have taken a vow; they might have owed a debt to somebody but failed to repay before death; they might have made a will before their death. Thus their offsprings owe a responsibility to fulfill all such demands after their death.

2011-10-05T05:21:00.000-07:00

You must have seen this number somewhere, remember where did you see this number? If it is hard for you to remember, then do not worry, this is the mathematical number of Bismillah hirrahman nirrahim. There is an ilm called “Islamic numerology” which gives people this ability to convert the complete surah’s into few numbers. You will find the naqsh of every surah which are squares and they are further divided into cell and in each cell there is written a number.

We do not know and do not find any evidence from Quran or hadith about numerology. We do not have any hadith even fake hadith which supports the numerology. When there is no single evidence from islam about this conversion, how can Quran then be converted into numbers?

Some people argue that numerology and nqash makes it easy for everyone to carry those big surahs of Quran that otherwise cannot be carried everywhere. Logical brains should come up with this question that, how can those numbers be same like the surah? What is the need of carrying surahs of Quran? Is there exemption from ALLAH swt that we should not understand Quran but carry it in numbers?

What is the method with which verses and surahs are converted into those numbers? Some say it is the number of words and alphabets, we say okei, the nmber represent words, what is so sacred about the number of words in a surah? Or number of alphabets in the surah? The sacred thing is surah itself not the number of its words.

Same thing we see in 786. Instead of writing complete verse people write 786 in their letters, in their speeches and on the face of their houses etc. this number 786 cannopt replace the verse which is so blessed and pure in meaning that when it was revealed, shaitan was beaten with thrones and every time when some muslim reads it satan is beaten.

This numerology has come from shiaism and today some brelvi and sufi people practice it and promote it. We must fear ALLAH and must not dare to change what HE had given us from understanding. The best way to carry Quran always is to memories it. in this way Quran wil be safe in heart and mind and there will be no need os taweez etc.

New born Baby

2011-08-14T19:35:00.000-07:00

Newborn Baby... and its Islamic Rites

In all communities around the world, the birth of a child is considered a blessing and ceremonies are held to celebrate this event.

Besides being a natural expression of joy, it also serves a special purpose, that is, making it known in a suitable and dignified manner, that the father has accepted the child as his own and that there is no doubt or suspicion concerning this matter. It shuts the door to any mischief that could arise in the future.

As soon your child is born, they are under attack from Satan. The Prophet (saws) said, “ When any human being is born, Satan pinches the body with his two fingers, except ‘Isa, the son of Maryam, whom Satan tried to pinch but failed, for he touched the placenta cover instead”. Sahih Bukhari 4:506

This is why the child cries at birth, Satan never leaves his enemy without harming it. To protect the faith and Islam of the newborn baby, who is now under attack by mankind’s greatest enemy, the Messenger (saws) of Allah (swt) taught us about various things that we can do. Some well known others not so well known. The following brief points are intended to remind the readers of what the Prophet (saws) did when a child was born.

Saying the Adhan

Abu Raf’i relates that, “I saw the Prophet (saws) saying the adhan of salah in the ear of his grandson, Hasan, when the child was born to his daughter Fatimah.” This Hadeeth is found in Musnad Ahmad, and authenticated by Shaikh Abdul Qadir ‘Arnoot.

Tahneek

When a child was born to one of the families of the Sahaba (the Companions of the Prophet (saws)), they would take it to the Prophet (saws) so that he would bless it, and apply the pulp of a date, chewed by him, to its palate. This ‘tahneek’ as it is known

in ‘Arabic’, was to keep the child safe from evil. Therefore, similarly when a child is born into a Muslim family, it should be taken to a virtuous, pious person, so that this person may supplicate for the child and perform the tahneek. Tahneek is among those Sunan whose practice has become rare.

Aisha (RA) narrates that, “the people used to bring their newborn children to the Prophet (saws) and he would bless them and perform the tahneek.” Sahih Muslim: 1:560

Aqeeqah & Shaving the head

The Aqeeqah ceremony essentially consists of two acts: the shaving of the hair from the head of the newborn baby and the

sacrifice of an animal (these were also characteristic features of Millat-e-Ibrahim - the religion of Prophet Ibrahim (as).

The hair on the child’s head is shaven and its weight in silver is given as charity. An animal is then sacrificed as a mark of celebration and distributed amongst friends, family, the poor and a portion is kept for ones own consumption.

Ali (RA) reported that the Messenger (saws) of Allah (swt) slaughtered a goat on the occasion of Hasan’s birth, the son of Fatimah (RA) and Ali (RA) and said, “Oh Fatimah! Shave the head of Hasan and pay silver equal to the weight of the hair as charity.” Sahih Sunan at-Tirmithee 2:1226

It is reported by Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As that the Prophet (saws) said, “To whomsoever a child is born, and he wants to perform a sacrifice of Aqeeqah on behalf of it, he should sacrifice two goats for a boy and one for a girl.” Sunan Abu Dawood 2:2836

It is reported by Buraydah (RA), “During the Age of ignorance, when a child was born to anyone of us, we used to slaughter a goat and smear the head of the child with its blood. Later, after the dawn of Islam, our practice became (on the advice of the Prophet (saws)) that we sacrifice a goat of Aqeeqah on the seventh day after the birth of a child, shave the head of the infant, and apply saffron on it.” Sunan Abu Dawood 2:2137

Tasmiyah (naming the child)

It is from the teachings of the Messenger (saws) of Allah (swt), that each member of the family be given a good name. Those who ask Allah (swt) to give them children, should also ask Allah (swt) to make these children among the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (saws) and adherents to his Sunnah. It is an obligation upon parents that their child be given a good name. Some Ahadeeth indicate that the child is to be named on the seventh day, along with the Aqeeqah. However, the Prophet (saws) also named children on the day of their birth, as proven by other narrations. There is no harm if the child is named before the seventh day, but if the naming has not been done, then the child should be named on the seventh day.

Naming a child with a beautiful and honourable name is very important. The Prophet (saws) always chose names with good and beautiful meanings, even telling people to change their names if they had unpleasant meanings.

Narrated Abu Musa (RA), “a son was born to me and I took him to the Prophet (saws) who named him Ibrahim, did tahneek for him with a date, invoked Allah’s (swt) blessing upon him and returned him to me.” Sahih Bukhari 7:376

Ibn Umar (RA) reported that Allah’s (swt) Messenger (saws) said, “the names dearest to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman.” Sahih Muslim 3:5315

Abu Wahb al-Jushamee (RA) who was the Companion of the Prophet (saws) reported him as saying, “call yourselves by the names of the Prophets. The name dearest to Allah (swt) are Abdullah and Abdur Rahman, the truest are Harith (ploughman) and Hammam (energetic) and the worst are Harb (war) and Murrah (bitter).” Sunan Abu Dawood 3:4140

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA), “Allah’s (swt) Apostle (saws) said, “the most awful name in Allah’s (swt) sight on the Day of Resurrection will be that of a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlaak. (king of king’s).” Sahih Bukhari 8:224

Ibn Umar (RA) reported that Allah’s (swt) Messenger (saws) changed the name of Aasiyah* (disobedient) and said: “You are Jameelah (good and beautiful).” Sahih Muslim 3:5332 & 4747

*[Not to be confused with Asiya. (The name of the Muslim wife of Pharaoh.]

Usamah Ibn Akhdari (RA) said, a man called Asram (harsh, severe, cut off) was among those who came to the Apostle (saws) of Allah (swt). The Apostle (saws) of Allah (swt) said, “What is your name?” He replied, “Asram.” He (saws) said, “no, you are Zur’ah”. (which has been taken or derived from crop, or to sow seed). Sunan Abu Dawood 3:4144

Khitan - circumcision

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA), I heard the Prophet (saws) saying, “five practices are characteristic of the Fitrah: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustache short, clipping the nails and depleting the hair of the armpits.” Sahih Bukhari 7:779

Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an, “Then We have inspired you (O Muhammad) Follow the religion of Ibrahim, the true in faith and he was not from the Polytheists.” Surah An-Nahl 16:123

In this verse, the Prophet (saws) and his Ummah are commanded to follow the religion of Ibrahim (as), therefore it is known that circumcision is from the religion of Ibrahim (as). Imam Bukhari and lmam Muslim have narrated that.

Bismillah

Assalaamu Alaikum! W.r.w.b

Dear all , * RAMADHAN MUBARAK *

Quran: “(It was) the month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Sawm (fasting)

Fasting: “Is a screen from hell, It is for Allah and he will reward.”~ [al-Baqarah 2:185]

Zakat: "The Prophet, sallaallahu `alayhe wa sallam, enjoined the payment of one Sa'a of dates or one Sa'a of barley as Zakat al-Fitr on every Muslim, young and old, male and female, free and slave."

Sadaqah: “The Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Every part of a person's body must perform a charity every day the sun comes up: to act justly between two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting his belongings onto it is a charity; a good word is a charity; and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity" Laylatul

Qadr: "Seek Laylatul Qadr in the last week (of Ramadan)." Taraweeh: "Whoever observes prayer at night during Ramadaan, because of faith and seeking his reward from Allah, his previous sins would be forgiven." Eid: It happened on the 'Eid day and Allah's Apostle said, "O Abu Bakr! There is an 'Eid for every nation and this is our 'Eid." May Allah accept we the UMMAH supplications; righteous way, proper guidance, forgive us, our worldly activities which may knowingly and unknowingly, protect us from the mischief’s of Shaytan, grant us patience, determination, health, and guide us all and help us to Unite. “Ameen Ya Raab”

Ramadan Prayer: May our blessings be too many to count... And our worries too few to matter May our days be filled with Sunshine... And our nights in comfort May we never go hungry... And be able to share our bounty May Allah bless and protect us... And strengthen our faith May Allah Bless the people of Palestine ... And answer their prayers May the next Eid we celebrate be free from oppression, hatred, persecution, and fear... Next Year in a FREE Jerusalem !!! My wishes to all for a blessed Ramadan and please remember those who go hungry all year long… Eid ul Fitr Mubarak to all.

Taqabbala Allahu minnaa wa minkum May Allah accept it from you and us Ya Allah! For thee, my life I shall live!
Ya Allah! For thee, my soul I shall give!

In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, the most Kind,
Praise be to Allah, who sent Ramadan as a gift to mankind “Ameen” Ya Raab. Allaho-Akber, Allaho-Akber. La ila-ha ill-lal-lah. Allaho-Akber, Allaho-Akber. Wa-lilahill hamd.
(Allah is great, Allah is great. There is no god but Allah. Allah is great, Allah is great. And all praises are for Allah).
