Knowing our Prophet(saw) -part 5

 After Abu Bakr(ra) accepted Islam,many others too accepted Islam.Some of them were Uthman bin Affan,Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas &Talha bin Ubaydullah.Many from the Quraysh also later accepted Islam.These people were called the 'Earliest believers'.

Although there was a gap between the first and second revelations,the subsequent ones came in quick succession.After Surah Muddaththir the next Surah to be revealed was Surah Fatihah.

Surah Muddaththir was not a set of instructions for Nabi ( saw) alone.It was for all believers.It teaches the believers to praise and invoke Allah.Each person will reap good/bad he sows in this world and he will receive recompense for it in the next world.It is a guide to true success.

In the revelations which came afterwards,other duties and acts of worship were instituted.The first duty that was ordained was Salah.Jibreel (as) taught Prophet (saw) how to perform prayers and Wudu.

The Prophet(saw)'s  later revelations focused on faith and Tawheed(Oneness of Allah)

The revelations helped the Prophet (saw)'s companions to purify their souls and helped in developing a sense of morality .The verses of the Qur'an offered inspiration and admonition.

Prophet(saw) taught his followers the meanings and he was a perfect model for them ,how to live by the Qur'an.

He was able to lead them from darkness to light by showing them the straight path.

He counseled them to hold fast to the religion of Allah.

To be continued in sha Allah.

                        Middle age crisis - Middle age is the time when you are almost settled in life, basically it is the time from your youth to old age. But you start getting feelings of regret,your self confidence is affected and you may feel less valued Both men and women go through this,but studies show that women face more issues,be it psychological or physical.It is the reproductive period of a woman 's life,where she may experience perimenopausal symptoms, sometimes irritability,fatigue etc.It is also a time when your children are either growing up,grown up and your parents are ageing.Hence it is the peak time of responsibilities.

Some women have early menopause and this too affects their health.Menopause leads to loss in bone density (osteoporosis) ,hence bones fracture easily,hot flashes,tantrums ,mood sw...

 I was thinking 🤔 of the topic for my next blog when I thought it should be about children. Children are a trust(Amanah) placed on us by our Lord and given to us for a destined time.Nobody gets to choose parents.All babies are born with Fitrah(natural inclination),pure.Then it is the family ofcourse who bring up their children with certain values,morals etc. We live in a world where some have children and some don't ,that again is ofcourse the will of God. Babyhood-A child is born.He/she is given a name and cared for as they are completely dependent.Slowly they start to smile,recognize and explore the world around them. Some personal experiences-  Shaza was born,she was the first granddaughter on both sides too.She was basically a quiet baby,who didn't create much trouble for me. Along came Amani,she was a 'tomboy' who was a little naughty. Liyana was more like Shaza.She was also quiet not very naughty . Aiman ,the boy after these 3 was and is indeed naughty😃. It amaz...
