The Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, said:
“Oh, Allah! Lord of Jibreel, Meeka’eel and Israfeel, the Originator of the heavens and earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen! You judge between Your Slaves in the matters in which they used to differ; guide me by Your Leave to the truth in those matters in which there is differing, for verily, You guide whomsoever You will to the Straight Path.”
Muslim.

Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you – that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah ." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." Quran 3:64
Narrated Abu Dhar (Radhiya Allahu Anhu): Allah’s Messenger (Salallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said that Allah (Azwjal) said: He who comes with a good deed, its reward will be ten like that or even more. And he who comes with vice, his reward will be only one like that, or I can forgive him. He who draws close to Me a hand’s span, I will draw close to him an arm’s length. And whoever draws near Me an arm’s length, I will draw near him a fathom’s length. And whoever comes to Me walking, I will go to him running. And whoever faces Me with sins nearly as great as the earth, I will meet him with forgiveness nearly as great as that, provided he does not worship something with me.
Muslim.
As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
We all suffer hardship and setbacks. Sometimes, it feels like were living moment to moment, barely keeping our heads above water. Just remember the favours that Allah has given us, redouble our worship of Him, and place our hopes with Him. Relief is on the way.
Have We not opened your breast for you
And removed from you your burden.
Which weighed down your back
And have We not raised high your fame
Verily, along with every hardship is relief,
Verily, along with every hardship is relief.
So when you have finished, devote yourself to Allah’s worship.
And to your Lord turn intentions and hopes.[Quran 94 (Ash-Sharh)]
A benevolent description of the life and character of the prophet Muhammad, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, by Hindu professor Ramakrishana Rao.
As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
Dhuha’s mood can change in an instant, with hardly a breath between her manic laughter and her screeching cry or she can remain locked in a particular emotion long past, what could be considered, normal. I can never guess what her mood will be like at any given moment. Therefore, we send her to school everyday regardless of how she is in the morning.
Sometimes, we get it wrong and Dhuha gets even more distressed at school and I have to do an early pickup. Clearly, there is no blame on the school. It can be hard to look after her when she gets upset for long periods. Even more so, I would imagine, when you are also looking after 30 other children. I, sometimes, feel like falling apart when I have a baby that needs attention and an UPSET Dudu, who also needs attention.
When she’s in bed, with all her apparent needs fulfilled, screaming for what feels like a month, who can I call? Without Allah, I’d fall over.
I testify to the fact that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, the Peerless. And I testify to the fact that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.
