Reported by Usamah bin Zaid (RA): Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and will be cast into Hell, and his intestines will pour forth and he will go round them as a donkey goes round a millstone. The inmates of Hell will gather round him and say: `What has happened to you, O so-and-so? Were you not enjoining us to do good and forbidding us to do evil?' He will reply: `I was enjoining you to do good, but was not doing it myself; and I was forbidding you to do evil, but was doing it myself". [Bukhari & Muslim]

For children, - Akbar and Birbal Stories for Children: Emperor Akbar's Gold Coins

Share ::-

The wisdom of Birbal was unparalleled during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar in India. But Akbar's brother in law was extremely jealous of him. He asked the Emperor Akbar to dispense with Birbal's services and appoint him in his place. He gave ample assurance that he would prove to be more efficient and capable than Birbal.
Before Emperor Akbar could take a decision on this matter, this news reached Birbal. Birbal resigned and left. Emperor Akbar's brother in law was made the minister in place of Birbal.
Emperor Akbar decided to test the new minister. He gave three hundred gold coins to him and said, "Spend these gold coins such that, I get a hundred gold coins here in this life; a hundred gold coins in the other world and another hundred gold coins neither here nor there."
The minister found the entire situation to be a maze of confusion and hopelessness. He spent sleepless nights worrying over how he would get himself out of this mess. Thinking in circles was making him go crazy. Eventually, on the advice of his wife he sought Birbal's help. Birbal said, "Just give me the gold coins. I shall handle the rest."
Birbal walked the streets of the city holding the bag of gold coins in his hand. He noticed a rich merchant celebrating his son's wedding. Birbal gave a hundred gold coins to him and bowed courteously saying, "The Emperor Akbar sends you his good wishes and blessings for the wedding of your son. Please accept the gift he has sent."
The merchant felt honoured that the Emperor had sent a special messenger with such a precious gift. He honoured Birbal and gave him a large number of expensive gifts and a bag of gold coins as a return gift for the Emperor.
Next, Birbal went to the area of the city were the poor people lived. There he bought food and clothing in exchange for a hundred gold coins and distributed them in the name of the Emperor Akbar.
When he came back to town he organized a concert of music and dance. He spent a hundred gold coins on it.
The next day Birbal entered Emperor Akbar's darbar/court and announced that he had done all that the Emperor had asked his brother-in-law to do. The Emperor Akbar waited to know how he had done it.
Birbal repeated the sequences of all the events and then said, "The money I gave to the merchant for the wedding of his son - you have got back while you are on this earth. The money I spent on buying food and clothing for the poor - you will get it in the other world. The money I spent on the musical concert - you will get neither here nor there."
This is true even today. The money you spend on friends is returned or reciprocated in some form or the other. Money spent on charitygets converted into blessings from Allah (SWT) which becomes your eternal property. Money spent on pleasures is just frittered away and in return you will be held responsible for wasting in the hereafter!
So when you spend your hard earned money, think a little, if not a lot!

Fathwa, - His wife filed for divorce and refuses to reconcile

Share ::-

Question
How long couple can live away/apart during resentment or quarrel? and at which age of kid, father can take his baby from wife? As my case is for separation filed by wife is under trial in Local Islamic court, since we made several efforts but my wife is not agree over reconciliation. Please supplicate for us.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of `worship except Allaah, and that Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
First of all, Allaah clarified in His Book the Islamic principle in this regard saying )what means(: }…either keep ]her[ in an acceptable manner or release ]her[ with good treatment.{]Quran 2:229[
For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 157275and 89825.
Therefore, a husband should not leave his wife hanged, neither divorced nor married; as there is nothing in the Sharee’ah that is called a period in which the spouses are separated from each other when there is a dispute between them.
However, if dissension happens between the spouses, both of them should be wise and endeavor to reconcile with each other as reconciliation is good as Allaah informed us and because divorce has disadvantages in general.
On the other hand, the wife is not permitted to ask for divorce without a sound )religious( reason, and if she insists on divorce without a sound reason for doing so, then her husband may refrain from divorcing her unless she gives him a ransom ]i.e. to compensate him for divorcing her, like giving him back her dowry[.
As regards the fostering of the children, it is the common right of both spouses as long as the marital bond is ongoing. If they are separated ]divorced[, the mother has more right in fostering her children as long as she does not remarry until the child reaches the age of distinction, and he/she then chooses with which parent he/she wants to stay; this is according to the most preponderant opinion of the jurists.
Allaah Knows best.
