She has reached the age of puberty but she is not strong enough to fast

A girl has reached pubertyat the age of eleven and she is weak. Does
she have to fast? If she is unable to fast then what should she do?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If the situation is as described, then she has tofast because
menstruationis one of the signs of puberty for women, if it comes when
she is nine years old or more. If she isable to fast then she mustdo
it at the proper time, and if she is unable to do it or she faces
extreme hardship in doing so, thenshe may not fast but she must make
up the days that she did not fast whenshe is able to do so. End quote.

1a] Nothing is Lost

witnessed by Allah, so Nuhwill receive his reward. Furthermore he was
savedfrom the flood, and went on to have more children, and to leave
his own legacy of offspring and teaching. And here we are, thousands
of years later, knowing his name, repeating his story, learning from
him! His story has become a part ofuniversal human mythology. How then
could he be a failure? He affected the world in a profound way until
the Day of Judgment, and he achieved that only by doing his job.
So I would like to suggest a replacement for the negative mantra,
"Everything falls apart." A truer statement, and one based on faith,
would be, "Nothing is lost."
Karma, the universe and the Law of Conservation of Energy
But what if you don't believe in Allah? Well, first of all I would say
that's a shame, because every timeyou put a bite of food in your mouth
that's a grace and a blessing from Him. Going back to Nuh for a
moment, The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "When the death
of the Messenger of Allah Nuh approached, he admonished his sons:
'Indeed I would give youfar reaching advice, commanding you to do two
things, and warningyou against doing two things as well. I charge you
to believe that there is no God but Allah and that if the seven
heavensand the seven earths were put on one side of a scale and the
words "There is no God but Allah" were put on the other, the latter
would outweigh the former. I warn you against associating partners
with Allah and against pride." (Saheeh al-Bukhari).
But even so, if you are Buddhist or Hindu then you believe in cause
and effect on a cosmic level. You believe that the good you do returns
in one way or another, and any evil you perpetrate also boomerangs
into your own soul. These are the fruits of karma. So again, nothing
is lost.
If you deny God and believe only in science andenergy and matter, then
you know that still, nothing is lost! The universe is a finite system.
Our universe began at a single point in time – whatscientists call the
Big Bang.The cosmos is expanding, flying out in every direction, until
one day in the unimaginable future it will reach the limits of
expansion and begin to contract, slowly at first then faster, drawn
inwardsby gravity until it collapsesinto the nothingness from whence
it came. Within this finite universe, energy can be transformed into
matter, or matter into energy, but nothing new iscreated, and nothing
is lost. There is no universal drain. In science this is known as the
Law of Conservation of Energy:
"Energy in a system may take on various forms (e.g. kinetic,
potential, heat, light). The law of conservation of energy states that
energy may neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore the sum of all
the energies in the system is a constant."
The greatest love
Personally, as someone who has suffered from the tendency of all
things to fall apart – what we mightcall the entropy of love – the
purely scientific perspective is cold comfort. When I'm mourning the
loss of a friend, it's no comfort to know that the universe is a
closed system, and that nothing is lost in the physical, atomic sense.
But it is a great comfort to know that all the love, work and good
I've done means something, both in a spiritual sense, and in a human
sense.
The American writer Washington Irving wrote, "Love is never lost. If
not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purifythe heart."
Every act of mercy, every charity, every moment of love you have given
another human being, ripples out through degrees of separation,
affecting the world in a profound way. Even if a relationship is
broken, even if the person now views you with enmity, it doesn't
invalidate what you did. The love that you gave is seen by Allah. On
the earthly plane, that loveaffects your own heart in good ways, then
it percolates out to those around you and changes the world. It
matters. It was not in vain. Nothing islost.
Since I've been speaking oflove, let me finish with a reminder of the
most important love of all. The famous scholar Ibn Qayyimal-Jawziyya
wrote:
"Truly in the heart there is a void that can not be removed except
with the company of Allah. And in itthere is a sadness that can not be
removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to
Him. And in it thereis an emptiness that can not be filled except with
love for Him and by turning to Him and alwaysremembering Him And if a
person were given all of the world and what is in it,it would not fill
this emptiness."
The greatest love we can have is our love for Allah, and it is always
requited. Allah's love descends uponus in every moment, in more ways
than we can see or understand. Alhamdulillah.

1] Nothing is Lost

1]
Nothing is lost. The years of your life that you poured like water
into a now-failed marriage, or the immense love and attention you gave
a child or brother or friend who now treats you like an enemy, or the
work you did for a company that closed down, or the sweat you put into
a project that ultimately failed… none of that is lost.
It's particularly hard when a relationship collapses, leaving
bitterness where previously there was passion. It's galling. You feel
confused, betrayed, depressed. Even years lateryou might feel that you
wasted those years, that you poured love from yourinnermost core and
watched it go down a drain.
The viewpoint of faith
I understand the feeling. I've been there. I've been perplexed and
depressed, with the phrase "Everything falls apart" running through my
head, thinking about how all things collapse in the end, and how good
things never seem to last.
But that is the narrow viewpoint of depression. Itis a singularly
negative viewpoint, and therefore itis not the viewpoint of imaan
(faith), because faithis the parent of hope. Faithgives you a window
into the unseen, the world thatIslam calls al-ghayb , and one of the
elements of the unseen world that Allah has informed us of is that
nothing is lost:
"And their Lord responded to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the
work of [any] worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one
another." (Quran, Surat Aal-Imraan, 3:195)
Allah knows the frustration and pain we feel, so He assures us that
none of our deeds are lost,not only because He sees all, but because
we are "of one another", in other words we human beings are all
connected. We are all a part of each other, and so any love and work
that one of us puts forward affects us all.
And Allah says,
"So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, And whoever
does an atom's weight of evil will see it." (Quran Surat Az-Zalzalah,
99:7-8)
Your love did not evaporate into nothingness. Your sweat and blood
were not poured down a drain. Those years of your life, those anxious
moments and anxiety dreams, were not in vain. Your silent good deeds,
and the most tender moments of your heart, were witnessed by the One
who matters, for Allah sees all. Everything isseen and valued. Every
good deed is blessed, every act of love is rewarded, everything is
returned to you in barakahmany times over. Nothing is lost.
The Prophet Nuh (pbuh)
When the Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) preached to his people,
calling them to tawheed (monotheism) amidst the whirlpool of
polytheism, they stuck their fingers in their ears and mocked him… and
in the end the flood came upon them because of their wickedness,
destroying them all except for a handful of followers… destroying even
Nuh's wife and one of his sons.
When this happened, was Nuh a failure? Were his ages of hard work in
vain? Were his deeds lost? Do you find yourself saying, "Poor Nuh"?
If so, then you have missed the point. Nuh was a Prophet, a hero, and
a survivor. He fulfilled his mission and delivered the message. That
was his job and he did it. It was witnessed by Allah,:->

Fast 7-Step Cure for Depression

Do a complete focused faston Mondays and Thursdays, and do the following:
1) Get up and read from the Quran in Arabic and English – "Inna fee
Khalqis samaawati wal Ard" (Surat Aali Imraan, 3:191-end) and crying.
2) Make a focused wudu' and pray Tahajjud, followed by:
3) a very light Suhoor (brown bread, olives and extra virgin olive oil
+ 2 table spoons full of cannedtuna or one egg) followed by:
4) a day of focused sunnahand Fard prayers.
5) Utilize throughout the day any of the Prophetic du'aas requesting ease like:
"Allahumma laa sahla illaa maa ja'altahu sahlaa, wa anta taj'alus
sa'ba in shi'ta sahlaa."
(O Allah, nothing is easy except what you make easy, and You can make
what is difficult easy if You wish)
As well as the other du'aasfor depression like: Allaahumma rahmataka
arjoo falaa takilnee ilaa nafsee tarfata 'ayn. wa aslih lee sha'nee
kullah. Laa ilaaha illaa Ant. (O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope
for, so don't leave me in charge of myaffairs even for the blinking of
an eye. And rectify all of my affairs forme. Nothing has the right to
be worshipped except You). – See Hisnul Muslim – the Muslim Fortress –
for more.
6) Then break the fast with3 dates and a glass of water and pray Maghrib;
7) Have a light Iftaar followed by a focused Ishaa prayer.
The depression should begin to lift, if not go altogether from the
very first day of the Fast cure. Itwill work if you do it believing
with all your heart, strongly that this Prophetic formula WORKS and
the degree to which it does work depends on how seriously you take it
and apply it.
