The women may have my neck for this 😊 but I find myself sharing this view.
Not that I expect women to pay school fees or take over responsibilities that Islam clearly places on men, but because I believe helping and making life better for one another is one of the sole purpose of marriage, how do you claim to love someone and you're not moved to lighten their burden? especially when it is obvious that he is trying his best but it's unfortunately enough for the realities confronting the family. I'm not talking about deadbeats please, but real responsible men.
The statement "a woman's money is her money" is true in terms of rights. But rights and responsibilities are not always the same thing.
Having no obligation to assist does not automatically mean one should watch a spouse drown while holding tightly to the lifeboat, more so when our children's life is involved.
Many women like me are rightly quick to reject polygyny, I have said several times that I do not desire it for myself and I'm sure it's the same for many of us. But have we ever paused to ask what value we consistently bring to a man's life that makes him willingly devote himself to one woman when he has the means, the permission and the opportunity to choose otherwise?
Just as we have rights over our husbands and expect those rights to be fulfilled, they too have rights over us.
One of those rights, in my opinion, is finding peace, comfort and refuge in us when life becomes overwhelming.
Marriage was never designed to be a battlefield of technicalities.
It was designed to be a place where two people protect each other from the harshness of the world.
If the man eventually breaks under the weight of responsibilities he carried alone, will the family not still bear the consequences of a burden that could have been lightened together?
Sometimes, the question is not "Must I help?"
The deeper question is, "If I can help the person I love, why wouldn't I?"

My dad’s business has been slow, and it’s taking a toll on him. He complained to me last night and I don't know how else to help than this. He sells top-quality wood, planks, and plywood at Amu, Mushin. He’s basically your guy for building materials. Pls RT if you see this 🥹
Nestlé has recalled these baby products.
So before you mix that next bottle for your baby, read this thread carefully as it concerns their well being.
If you feed your baby NAN, SMA, or Alfamino, a toxic bacteria has been found in some batches. And you might have it in your house right now.
You see, Nestlé has issued a massive global recall for several baby formulas (products in the image above) because they found a toxin called Cereulide (from Bacillus cereus bacteria) in some batches.
This toxin causes severe nausea and vomiting in babies. And the scary part is that boiling water does NOT kill it. The toxin is heat-resistant. So even if you prepare the formula correctly, if the powder itself is contaminated, your baby is at risk.
Now, NAFDAC has not released a specific alert for Nigeria yet. BUT our markets are porous. And people import ‘UK SMA’ and ‘Imported NAN’ every single day. So if you buy your formula from supermarkets that stock imported goods, or you bought it abroad, you need to check the last stock to see if your tin look like any of those products.
If yes, go to Nestle’s UK Website (SMA & Alfamino) and Nestle’s MENA Website (NAN) to verify if your batch does not fall under the recalled ones.
If your batch code matches the ones on that list, please DO NOT USE IT.
And please, don't keep this information to yourself.
If you have a friend, sister, or neighbor who uses SMA, NAN, or Alfamino, retweet this or send this to them NOW.
You might be saving a baby from poisoning today.

Our choices shape our legacy and our destiny. A life dedicated to Allah [swt] and full of barakah may be enriched and prolonged.
On the other hand, the scholars say that sin destroys the blessings of our years and our wealth on Earth. The choice between a fruitful, blessed life and a sinful one is always ours to make
What does it mean to “feed the most vulnerable people around us”? How did our beloved prophet ﷺ put this into practice, especially in the sacred months - Rajab, Sha'aban, and Ramadan? How can we follow in his footsteps?
Please prepare for your best Ramadan ever. Islam places kindness at the heart of worship. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Allah [swt] is kind and loves kindness in all matters.” (Sahih Muslim). Please join us today. Together, let us make our brothers and sisters focus on their ib'adah and worry less about what to eat during Ramadan
