A striking archaeological discovery announced by the Saudi Heritage Commission consists of a rare historical inscription that reads:
"Allah is the guardian of Umar ibn al Khattab in this world & the Hereafter, & there is no god but Allah."
Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allah.
This is the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup.
This was the World Cup everyone claimed Qatar couldn't pull off, but they ended up hosting arguably the best, most organised World Cup in recent memory.
The Quran recitation and the calm atmosphere gave it a unique feel never seen before.
Now, we wait to see what the upcoming tournament in North America will bring.
The bar has been set incredibly high, and it is going to take a lot more than the usual American corporate and media hype to match this level of soul and standard.
Hello Ezinne,
There are so many ways Sharia protects and benefits you. And ignore naysayers who are quick to say "but they practice Sharia in the north?" What they are practicing isn't Sharia. It's purely political.
It's only a matter of time before those whom they have used that to control will find out the truth.
The one I am talking about is the divine laws of Islam, and here are some of the few ways it protects a woman.
First of all, it is vital to understand how Sharia treats non-Muslim citizens (Dhimmi). Under true Sharia, non-Muslims are not subjected to Islamic personal laws regarding marriage, divorce, or inheritance. They are granted full judicial autonomy.
If a Christian woman has a family dispute, she goes to her own ecclesiastical (church) courts, not a Sharia court. What Sharia guarantees her as a citizen is Aman (absolute state security). The state is legally obligated to protect her life, her property, and her freedom to worship.
And listen, it’s forbidden for any Muslim to harass you not to talk of kill you. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"Whoever hurts a non-Muslim citizen under our protection, I am his adversary on the Day of Judgment."
Secondly, there is financial autonomy for you.
Under authentic Sharia, a woman’s money is strictly and legally her own. When she marries, she receives Mahr (a mandatory bridal gift) directly into her hands. Her husband, her parents, or his family have zero legal right to touch a single penny of it.
Here is the kicker that modern secular laws still haven't caught up with: if a married woman runs a business, works a high-paying job, or inherits millions, she is under zero legal or religious obligation to spend a dime of her wealth on the household.
The financial burden of paying rent, buying food, clothing the family, and providing healthcare falls 100% on the husband, regardless of how wealthy the wife is.
Now, to show how compatible this law is with human nature, Islam absolutely encourages a woman to support her husband out of love, kindness, and partnership, especially when necessity arises or times get tough.
But the beautiful thing is, she is never compelled to do so. If she decides to assist him financially, it is legally recorded as an act of voluntary charity (Sadaqah) from her to him, not an obligation. He cannot force her.
Again, there is radical protection of your dignity and character. Sharia law treats a woman’s reputation with extreme gravity.
In our jurisprudence, if anyone falsely accuses a woman of unchastity or attacks her character without producing four airtight eyewitnesses, the accuser faces the mandatory corporal punishment of Qadhf (80 lashes) and their testimony is legally banned for life. It completely eliminates the culture of casual slander against women.
There are many other protections, but let me stop here. If you have any questions or bias, let me know, I am willing to provide deep answers.
Allah knows best.
Eid Al Adha Mubarak
May this blessed day bring peace, happiness, and countless blessings to you and your loved ones. May Allah accept the prayers and sacrifices of all the pilgrims and believers around the world.

Husband: Have you prayed Asr?
Wife: No
Husband: Why?
Wife: I got back from work tired a bit so I took me a nap.
Husband: Ok... Go pray Asr and Maghrib before its time for Isha.
The next day... the husband leaves town on a business trip... But a few hours after his flight was scheduled to arrive he didn't call or even text her like he usually does to let her know that he had arrived safely..!!
The wife calls to check up on her husband but he doesn't pick up.. She calls again; the phone rings but no reply what so ever.
She was starting to get worried after many attempts of calling her beloved husband and no reply at all... She thinks to herself something must have went wrong he never does that. He always calls as soon as he lands.
A few hours pass by... and suddenly the phone rings and its the husband. Wife all worried says: have you arrived safely??
Husband: Yes, Alhamdulillah.
Wife: When?
Husband: About 4 hours ago.
Wife in an angered tone: 4 hours ago? And you don't call?
Husband: I was tired so decided to take a nap.
Wife: A few minutes wouldn't have hurt you if you were to call me and let me know you'v arrived... Plus haven't you heard the phone ringing over and over again as I was calling you..??
Husband: Yes, I heard it..
Wife: And you don't pick up..?? What are my calls not important enough for you..??
Husband: You're calls are important to me, but yesterday you didn't seem to mind not answering the calls of Athan.. Allah's call...
Wife with watery eyes and after a short silence says: Yes, you have a point.. I'm sorry..
Husband: Why are you apologizing to me? You should seek Allah's forgiveness and don't repeat the same mistake twice. All what I want out of this world is that Allah unites us both in a palace in Jannah where in it we can start our eternal life together. Ever since that day the wife never delayed any of her prayers.
“The one who truly loves you is the one who pushes you forward on your path to Allah and gets in your way and stops you from going backwards in life.” ❤️
Dear Parents,
I want to share one parenting secret with you. The one you won’t find in your regular blogs. And trust me, regardless of your faith, you will find this tip beneficial.
I want to explain why some kids become completely stubborn the more you punish them. I am doing this because I got some messages yesterday from people who have kids in the diaspora and how their kids have become stone-hearted to their parents’ warnings. It is indeed painful.
Remember that I mentioned the monumental book of Imam Al-Ghazali, Ihya’ Ulum al-Din. We have more things to learn from it.
In this book, he talked about a fragile part of a child's mind called the “Veil of Shame.” Note: Every child has this because they are born upon Fitrah (purity of the soul).
When a child does something bad for the first time, they usually try to hide it. They are afraid of being caught because they still value their dignity in your eyes.
The scholars explained that if a parent exposes the child, screams, yells at them, and punishes every mistake, you are tearing down their veil of shame.
Once a child realizes you already see them as a bad person, the humiliation has happened. They stop caring. You have destroyed their internal brakes. When they have no dignity left to protect, they will start doing those bad things openly and boldly.
How do you notice this in your child?
You can tell this is happening in your child when they stop trying to hide their mistakes and start becoming brazen or "strong-headed" when caught. This is a sign that the veil is thinning.
To fix this, you need to use a concept called Taghaful. It translates to intentional ignorance or pretending you did not see a fault.
Our Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us this. He did this with a young companion called Usama bin Zaid. But I see that our parents, due to their high expectations, are often too impatient to look away.
If you catch your child doing a hidden wrong, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pretend you did not see it. Do not confront them and strip them of their respect.
Instead, bring up the topic later in a general conversation. Tell a story about why that action is destructive, without looking at them or accusing them. Let their own conscience do the punishing. Let them repent and fix it in secret.
A parent who hunts down every small mistake will end up raising a child who has no shame left to lose.
Let me know if you want more of these scholarly parenting tips. I will be willing to share. My DM is full with different issues. I cannot answer everything, but I am sure with these tips, a lot of those issues will be solved by God’s grace.
Thank you for your attention.
Allah knows best.
