Children Learn What They Live If children live with criticism, they learn to comdemn. If children live with hostility, they learn to fight. If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive. If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves. If children live with ridicule, they learn to be painfully shy. If children live with jealousy, they learn what envy is. If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty. If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient. If children live with encouragement, they learn to be confident. If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate. If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves. If children live with acceptance, they learn to find love in the world. If children live with recognition, they learn to have a goal. If children live with sharing, they learn to be generous. If children live with honesty and fairness, they learn what truth and justice are. If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those around them. If children live with friendliness, they learn that the world is a nice place in which to live in. If children live with serenity, they learn to have a peace of mind. So Brothers and Sisters, Mothers & Fathers With What Are Your Children Living?. Peace, Love & Unity.

I'm not convinced by City...they will beat the odd teams here and there including Arsenal but I doubt it whether they can finish in the top 4 just yet, not as long as they have their shaky and average defense and Mancini is at the helm simply because he's not brave enough to gamble when he needs to like last year when Spurs beat them at home and eventually pipped them for 4th. I'd say it's between Chelsea and United...Arsenal,Well, I can't see them challenging those two, not with the kind of squad they have and we all know that Arsenal don't fancy the Carling Cup and F.A Cup is out of their reach as usual and it seems Arsene still thinks Almunia is a world class goalie when in truth the team desperately need a proper goalkeeper that you can rely on to save your neck when you're up against it....I'll be content with 3rd...AGAIN. I hope Spurs get knocked out of the Champs league qualifications...that will really please me and put a smile on my face. Peace, Love & Unity.

Lifelong Valentine's Day Mohamed and Maryam were an ordinary couple. they lived in an ordinary house on an ordinary street and just like any other ordinary other couple they struggled to make ends meet and to do the right things for their children and do the right thing by their friends and neighbours. They were ordinary in yet another way...they had their squabbles, much of their conversation concerned what was wrong in their marriage and who was to blame until one day when a most extraordinary event took place. "You know, Maryam I've got a magic chest of drawers. every time I open them, they're full of socks and underwears" Mohamed said. "I want to thank you for filling them all these years". Maryam stared at her husband over the top of her glasses. "What do you want, Mohamed?" "Nothing. I just want you to know that I appreciate those magic drawers." This wasn't the first time Mohamed had done something odd, so Maryam pushed the incident out of her mind until a few days later. "Maryam, Thank you for recording so many correct cheque numbers in the ledger this month. you put down the right numbers 15 out of 16 times. that's a record". Disbelieving what she had heard, Maryam looked up from her mending. "Mohamed, you're always complaining about my recording the wrong cheque numbers. Why stop now?" "No reason. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate the effort you're making." Maryam shook her head and went back to her mending. "What's got into him?" she mumbled to herself. Nevertheless, the next day when Maryam wrote a cheque at the supermarket, she galanced at her chequebook to confirm that she had put down the right cheque number. "Why di I suddenly care about those dumb cheque numbers?" she asked herself. she tried to disregard the incident but Mohamed's strange behaviour intensified. "Maryam, that was a great dinner," he said one evening. "I appreciate all your effort. Why, in the past 15 years I'll bet you've fixed over 14,000 meals for me and the kids." Then "Woow, Maryam, the house looks unique. You've really worked hard to get it looking so good." And even "Thanks, Maryam, for just being you. I really enjoy your company and I'm lucky to have you in my life." Maryam was growing worried 'Where has the sarcasm and the criticism disappeared into?" she wondered. Her fears that something peculiar was happening to her husband were confirmed by 16-year-old Alwiya, who complained "Dad's gone bonkers, Mom. he just told me I looked pretty in my Abaya that he has bought for me 4 months ago, he still said it. That's not Dad, Mom. What's wrong with him?" Whatever was wrong , Mohamed didn't get over it. Day in and day out he continued focusing on the positive. Over the weeks, Maryam grew more accustomed to her husband's unusual behaviour and occasionally even gave him a grudging "Thank you." She prided herself on taking it all in her stride, until one day something so peculiar happened. she became completely confused by what happened next. "I want you to take a break," Mohamed said. "I'm going to do the dishes. So please take your hands off that frying pan and leave the kitchen." (After a Long, Long, pause) "Thank you Mohamed. Thank you very much." Maryam's steps were now a little lighter, her self-confidence shot into the sky and once in a while she hummed. She didn't seem to have as many blue moods anymore. 'I rather like Mohamed's new behaviour," She thought. That would be the end of the story except one day another most extraordinary event took place. This time it was Maryam who spoke. "Mohamed, she said, "I want to thank you for going to work and providing for us all these years without ever complaining even when you were ill and barely able to get up. I don't think I've ever told you how much me and the kids appreciate it." Mohamed finally revealed the reason for his dramatic change of behaviour after Maryam one night pushed for an answer. "I have read a book about how the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) used to treat his wives and I've realized how badly I've been treating you and the kids all these years and I was ashamed of myself to even look at you because I felt so guilty then I promised myself that I will treat you the way I should've treated all these years which is like a Queen because you're my Queen and I don't know what I'd have done without you so Thank You Maryam and please remember that no matter what I Will Always Love you. Peace, Love & Unity.

On Courage "So you think I'm courageous?" She asked. "Yes, I do" I replied. "Perhaps I am. But that's because I've had some inspiring teachers. I'll tell you about one of them. Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at local Hospital, I got to know a little girl named Leila who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her five year-old younger brother Anwar, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. the doctor explained the situation to the little boy, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his older sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying "Yes, I'll do it if it will save Leila". "As the transfusion progressed, he lay in a bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the colour returning to her cheeks. then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice "Will I start to die right away?" "Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor, he thought he was going to have to give her all his blood in order to save his older sister's life". "Yes I've learned courage" She added. "Because I've had inspiring teachers like Leila and Anwar". Peace, Love & Unity.

Once upon a time there was a great man who married the woman of his dreams. with their love, they've been blessed with a little boy, he was bright and cheerful little boy and the great man loved him very much. When he was very little, he would pick him up, hum a tune and dance with him around the room, and he would tell him I Love You, My Little Boy. When the little boy was growing up, the great man would hug him and tell him I Love You, My Little Boy and the little boy would pout and say 'I'm not a little boy anymore' then the man would laugh and say But to me, you'll always be my little boy. The little boy who-was-not-little-anymore left his home and went into the world to get education in a very far away land and life experience. As he learned more about himself, he learned more about the man. he saw that he truly was a great and strong, for now he recognized his strengths. one of his strengths was his ability to express his Unconditional Love to his family. it didn't matter where he went in the world, the man would call him and say I Love You, My Little Boy. The day came when the little boy who-was-not-little-anymore received a phone call. The great man was sick and dying...the great man couldn't talk anymore and they weren't sure that he could understand the words spoken to him...they explained. He could no longer smile, laugh, walk, hug, dance or tell the little boy who-was-not-little-anymore that he loved him. And so he went to the side of the great man. When he walked into the room and saw him, he looked small and not strong at all, he looked at him and tried to speak, but he could not. The little boy did the only thing he could do, he climbed up on the bed next to his hero, his idol, the great man. tears ran down from both of their eyes and he drew his arms around the small shoulders of his father. His head on his father's chest, he thought of many things. he remembered the wonderful times together and he'd always felt protected, loved and cherished by the great man, he felt grief for the loss he was about to endure, the words of love that had comforted him time and again all through his life. And then he heard from within the man, the beat of his heart, the heart where the music and the words had always lived. the heart beat on, steadily unconcerned about the damage to the rest of the body. and while he rested there, the magic happened, he heard what he needed to hear. his heart beat out the words that his mouth could no longer say. I Love You I Love You I Love You, My Little Boy and he was comforted and he remembered when his father spoke to him, he always began the conversation with Have I told You Yet Today How Much I Love You and Adore You? and those memories brought smile to his face and made him weep with agony as he sensed the demise of his beloved father was beckoning and this will be the last time he will feel his father's frail old body against his and that was the most painful part for the little boy who-was-not-little-anymore to deal with. Peace, Love & Unity.

About marrying young girls...well to this day there has never been a concrete proof that Aisha (r.a) was 9 when she married the messenger of allah s.w. The historians has been rebuting one another on this particular subject for centuries and to this day no one can proof that the marriage took place when Aisha (r.a) was indeed 9 years old and here's a few examples. According to the generally accepted tradition, Aisha (r.a) was born about eight years before Hijrah. But according to another narrative in Bukhari (kitabu'l-tafseer) Aisha (r.a) is reported to have said that at the time Surah Al-Qamar, the 54th chapter of the Qur'an, was revealed, "I was a young girl". Now the 54th surah of the Qur'an was revealed nine years before Hijrah. According to this tradition, Aisha (r.a) had not only been born before the revelation of the referred surah, but was actually a young girl (jariyah) not an infant (sibyah) at that time. Obviously, if this narrative is held to be true, it is in clear contradiction with the narratives reported by Hisham ibn Urwah. I see absolutely no reason that after the comments of the experts on the narratives of Hisham ibn Urwah, why we should not accept this narrative to be more accurate. According to a number of narratives, Aisha (r.a) accompanied the Muslims in the battle of Badr and Uhud. Furthermore, it is also reported in books of hadith and history that no one under the age of 15 years was allowed to take part in the battle of Uhud. All the boys below 15 years of age were sent back. Aisha's (r.a) participation in the battle of Badr and Uhud clearly indicate that she was not nine or ten years old at that time. After all, women used to accompany men to the battle fields to help them, not to be a burden on them. According to almost all the historians Asma (r.a), the elder sister of Aisha (r.a) was ten years older than Aisha (r.a). It is reported in Taqri'bu'l-tehzi'b as well as Al-bidayah wa'l-nihayah that Asma (r.a) died in 73 Hijrah when she was 100 years old. Now, obviously if Asma (r.a) was 100 years old in 73 hijrah she should have been 27 or 28 years old at the time of hijrah. If Asma (r.a) was 27 or 28 years old at the time of Hijrah, Aisha (r.a) should have been 17 or 18 years old at that time. Thus, Aisha (r.a), if she got married in 1 AH (after hijrah) or 2 AH, was between 18 to 20 years old at the time of her marriage. Tabari in his treatise on Islamic history, while mentioning Abu Bakr (r.a) reports that Abu Bakr had four children and all four were born during the Jahiliyah...the pre Islamic period. Now obviously, if Aisha (r.a) was born in the period of jahiliyah, she could not have been less than 14 years in 1 AH...the time she most likely got married. According to Ibn Hisham, a well respected historian, Aisha (r.a) accepted Islam quite some time before Umar ibn Khattab (r.a). This shows that Aisha (r.a) accepted Islam during the first year of Islam. While, if the narrative of Aisha's (ra) marriage at seven years of age is held to be true, Aisha (r.a) should not have been born during the first year of Islam. Tabari has also reported that at the time Abu Bakr planned on migrating to Habshah (8 years before Hijrah), he went to Mut`am...with whose son Aisha (r.a) was engaged to and asked him to take Aisha (r.a) in his house as his son's wife. Mut'am refused, because Abu Bakr had embraced Islam and subsequently his son divorced Aisha (r.a). Now, if Aisha (r.a) was only seven years old at the time of her marriage, she could not have been born at the time Abu Bakr decided on migrating to Habshah. On the basis of this report it seems only reasonable to assume that Aisha (ra) had not only been born 8 years before hijrah, but was also a young lady, quite prepared for marriage. According to a narrative reported by Ahmad ibn Hanbal (rahimahu-allah) after the death of Khadijah (r.a) when Khaulah (r.a) came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) advising him to marry again, the Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked her regarding the choices she had in her mind. Khaulah said: "You can marry a virgin (bikr) or a woman who has already been married (thayyib)". When the Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked about who the virgin was, Khaulah proposed Aisha's (r.a) name. All those who know the Arabic language, are aware that the word "bikr" in the Arabic language is not used for an immature nine year old girl. The correct word for a young playful girl, as stated earlier is "Jariyah". "Bikr" on the other hand, is used for an unmarried lady, and obviously a nine year old is not a "lady". According to Ibn Hajar, Fatimah (r.a) was five years older than Aisha (r.a). Fatimah (r.a) is reported to have been born when the Prophet (p.b.u.h) was 35 years old. Thus, even if this information is taken to be correct, Aisha (r.a) could by no means be less than 14 years old at the time of hijrah and 15 or 16 years old at the time of her marriage. These are some of the major points that go against accepting the commonly known narrative regarding Aisha's (ra) age at the time of her marriage....marka like I said wax la hubo ma aha exactly waqtiga and the age ay Aisha (r.a) jirtay. Allah s.w knows best. PS. Hisham ibn Urwah (Rahimahu-Allah) was the grandson Asma Bint Abu Bakar (r.a) the older sister of Aisha (r.a). Ask any question you may have about Islam and I will ask around on your behalf Insha Allah. May God guide us all through the righteous path. Peace, Love & Unity.

I hope you're sincere in you asking this and if not then God help you but I still give you the answer nevertheless. First and foremost remove the picture of Al Shabab, Taliban, Al Qaeda etc from your phsyche and just focus on what the Qur'an and the Sharia say about those who steal and not how some group interpret the Qur'an and the Sharia. In the Name of Allah, Most gracious, Most Merciful. In accordance with the Qur'an and several hadith, theft is punished by imprisonment or amputation of hands or feet. depending on the number of times it was committed and depending on the item of theft. However, before the punishment is executed two eyewitnesses under oath must say that they saw the person stealing. If these witnesses cannot be produced then the punishment cannot be carried out. Witnesses must be either two men, or, if only one man can be found, one man and two women. Several requirements are in place for the amputation of hands, so the actual instances of this are relatively few they are: There must have been criminal intent to take private (not common) property. The theft must not have been the product of hunger, necessity, or duress. The goods stolen must be over a minimum value, not haraam and not owned by the thief's family. Goods must have been taken from custody (i.e. not in a public place). There must be reliable witnesses. The punishment is carried out even if the thief repents. [said Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h] All of these must be met under the scrutiny of judicial authority. [Qur'an 5:38]. If implemented accordingly Sharia law would make the world far better place than it is today and that includes all Muslim Countries in the world today. PS. Once again I hope you are sincere...I won't mock you or disrespect you in anyway and I hope you'll do the same Insha Allah. May God Guide us all through the righteous path. Peace, Love & Unity.
