How prophet Muhammad (pbuh) treated his wives

How prophet Muhammad (pbuh) treated his wives The Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) gave us a striking example of how to treat women in his sunnah, but so many men follow the sunnah and forget that a major component of it is the prophets (pbuh) treatment of his wives, this is a reminder for all those guys who are married or inshallah when they get married to remember the sunnah of the prophet (pbuh) and the value and blessing of a wife. Knowing their Feelings The Prophet – Peace be upon him – was telling Aisha – May Allah be pleased with her: “I know well when you are pleased or angry from me. Aisha replied: How you know that?

Crime and Punishment in Islam

One of the many objections levied against Islam is in reference to the system of crime and punishment in the Shari'ah. How are Islamic punishments and penal laws compatible with clemency and benevolence? Is it not considered violence to give one hundred lashes to one who has committed a sin? Is it compatible with Islamic benevolence to stone a person who has lost his/her chastity as a result of domination of sensual desire? Is cutting the hands and feet of thieves in accordance with religious clemency? Are severe and harsh punishments not considered to be a sort of violence? There are subtle points in the "penal laws and punishments" which help us in replying to these questions. Studying these points, it is clear that penal...

What Does Islam Say about Nutrition?

Some religious and secular lifestyle paths look at the body as a temple that houses the spirit. As a temple and building, it should be maintained and not neglected. Islamic teaching compliments this view. Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith (volume 7, book of wedlock, hadith 127): Narrated `Abdullah, the son of Umar Al Kitab: Allah's Apostle, Prophet Muhammad (SAW), said, "O `Abdullah! Have I not been informed that you fast all the day and stand in prayer all night?" I said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Do not do that! Observe the fast sometimes and also leave them (the fast) at other times; stand up for the prayer at night and also sleep at night. Your body has a right over you, your eyes have a right over you and your wife has...

An Islamic Approach to the Environment

Islam expresses great concern for the environment. A number of verses in the Quran and the sayings of Prophet Muhammad have addressed this issue. Islam’s solution to environmental problems lies in man’s adaptation of its guidance. Allaah has stated that He made all the material objects on earth for man’s use, not for his abuse. Allaah Almighty has not prevented humankind from enjoying a luxurious standard of living, but this should not be maintained by damaging and abusing natural resources. This is clearly stated in a number of verses in the Quran. Allaah says (what means): "But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and (yet), do not forget your share of the world. And do good as...

Meaning of justice in Islam

In the Islamic worldview, justice denotes placing things in their rightful place. It also means giving others equal treatment. In Islam, justice is also a moral virtue and an attribute of human personality, as it is in the Western tradition. Justice is close to equality in the sense that it creates a state of equilibrium in the distribution of rights and duties, but they are not identical. Sometimes, justice is achieved through inequality, like in unequal distribution of wealth. The Prophet of Islam declared:“There are seven categories of people whom God will shelter under His shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His. (One is) the just leader.”(Saheeh Muslim)God spoke to His Messenger in this manner:“O My slaves,...
