andmy LOVE. He is really nice, gentleman and handsome guy. He is the
best friend of my brother. and i got his attention and we are close
together. he knows that i have a crush on him. Because all of my
classmates knows it. i am very grateful to be with him as a friend.
but timesand years come a long. my feelings for him been stronger. He
had a girlfriend at that time, but because i know my limitation being
his friend i respect his feelings. Being in love with him i decide to
be a good friend. a friend always there for him.
he broke up with his girlfriend and nothing change between us. we text
morning to night. until one day he text me"WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?"
but i reply to him. NO! i don't know why i said NO to him that day.
but all i know is i don't want to rush everything to us.
Years again for both of usto have no communication. and one day he
told me that all of his family are going to japan to be with there
father. I am very sad about what he said to me. but he said that we
can send email and call toeach other.
year 2009... I am the mosthappiest girl in this world. why? because he
called me and he said that he is already here in Philippines and he
can't wait to see me. He also said in our conversation that he had
important to say to me and he want tobe with me.
I pray a lot to see him and be with him again. I ask my friend about
us and they said i should meet him.
I travel about hours just to be with him. I have a question in my mind
What is the important thing that he really need to say to me, just to
comeover here.
finally the moment I've been waiting for. I am with him and he smile
at me, we both happy. and when the time that we got chance to talk.
He said that he also in love with me... he doesn'tknow when it's
started but he got that feelings and then he wants to see me just to
say that to me. I cried because i can't expect that he can also like
me. kissed me that night. my first love holding me right now and then
kiss me. oh my God! i can't describe to allyou how happy i am.
and suddenly stop and talk again to me and said.
we could not be togetherand be my girlfriend.
my eyes can't imagine he would said that to me after he kiss me and
told me he loves me too...
3 reason why we cant be lover.
1. Because of my brother
2. Because of my parents
3. He live in Japan
My heart so glad that i know that he can also love me. but what is the
reason why he told me and we can't be...
after he go back to japan. i realize that it doesn't matter at all. as
long as i know that my first love also love me. even i can't call him
my boyfriend but i know if we are meant for each other the right times
comes.
2012 yes! this year... he said me message in my Facebook he said that
he going here this October and he also said that he is looking forward
to see me again. I ask him what his plan why he decide tocome back
here. He said again that he wants to see me.
he wants to see me again. i don't know whatis the meaning of that. and
i don't expect that hewould said anything about me. but i am very
excited to see him and talk to him personally like before.
my heart beats faster andi can't sleep because of that. September end
nowand soon he is here with me.
I wrote this because i want to end all of this because it's been years
and i realize that i can behappy and i can't g back to my high school
feelings that i am in love with him and now he is back again and what
for?
I'm not hoping...but i am happy to be his friend since then. He hurts
me so many times and i forget it all.
Glad that i have a wonderful feelings that i can share to all of you.
once that you finally saw the man for you and you know that he deserve
and worth for your love.. don't doubt and take risk.

Should he interrupt his prayer in order to answer one of his parents if they call him?

Is it true that if one is praying and ones parentcalls for them they
are toimmidiately leave prayergo their parent and thenafter go and
restart the prayer. I was told this when i was a lot younger is there
any truth to it?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If a Muslim is offering anobligatory prayer, he should not interrupt
it inorder to answer the call of his father or mother. But he can
alert the one who is calling him to let him know that he is busywith
the prayer, either by saying tasbeeh ("Subhaan Allah") or by raising
his voice in recitation and the like.
And it is prescribed for him to make the prayer brief, then when he
has finished he can answer the call.
Al-Bukhaari (707) narrated from Abu Qataadah (may Allah be pleased
with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
said: "Sometimes I stand in prayer, intending to make it lengthy, then
I hear a child crying, so I make my prayer brief because I do not want
tocause hardship to his mother."
This indicates that it is prescribed to make the prayer brief if there
is something that is distracting the worshipper.
If it is a naafil prayer, if he knows that his father or mother will
not objectto him completing the prayer, he may completeit and then
answer themonce he is free. But if he knows that they will object to
him completing the prayer he may interrupt his prayer and answer them,
and there will be no blame on him for that. Then he can go back and
start praying again.
Al-Bukhaari (3436) and Muslim (2550) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) said: "Jurayj used to worship in his cell, and his
mother came to him. Shesaid: 'O Jurayj! I am your mother, speak to
me.' She found him praying and he said: 'O Allaah, my mother or my
prayer?' And he chose his prayer. She went away, then she came back a
second time and said: 'O Jurayj! I am your mother, speak to me.'
Hesaid: 'O Allaah, my mother or my prayer?' And he chose his prayer.
She said: 'O Allaah, this isJurayj and he is my son, and I spoke to
him but he refused to speak to me. O Allaah, do not let him die until
he has seenprostitutes.'" He said: "If she had prayed that he be
tempted, he would have fallen prey to temptation."
Al-Nawawi gave this report the title: Honouring one's parentstakes
precedence over voluntary prayer and other actions.
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars said: What would have been correctin this case is
answering her, because he was offering a naafil prayer and continuing
with it isvoluntary and not obligatory, whereas answering one's mother
and honouring her is obligatory, and disobeying her is haraam. He
could have shortened his prayer and answered her, then gone back to
his prayer… End quote.
See: Fath al-Baari by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on
him), al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 20/342
It says in al-Durr al-Mukhtaar (2/54) - which is a Hanafi book:
If either of his parents calls him during an obligatory prayer, he
should not answer unless his parent is urging him to come and help.
End quote.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
If your parents call you when you are praying, itis obligatory to
answer them, on condition that the prayer is not an obligatory one. If
it is an obligatory prayer, it is not permissible to answer them, but
if it is a naafil prayer, you should answer them.
But if they are people who give things their due measure and if, when
they realise that you are praying, they will excuse you, then in this
case you should indicate to them that you are praying – either by
clearing your throat or saying "Subhaan Allah" or raising your voice
in the verse or du'aa' you are reciting – so that the one who is
calling will realise that you are praying.
But if they are otherwise, and they are people who will not make
excuses or who want an immediate response, then you should interrupt
your prayer and speak to them.
But in the case of an obligatory prayer, you should not interrupt it
for anyone except in the case of necessity, such asif you see someone
who you fear will fall into mortal danger, such as falling into a well
or intothe sea or into a fire. In that case, you should interrupt your
prayer because it is a case of necessity. Otherwise, it isnot
permissible to interrupt an obligatory prayer. End quote.
Sharh Riyaad al-Saaliheen, p. 302
And Allah knows best.
