Islamic calendar(Hijri calendar)

 2-1-1447

The Islamic calendar, or Hijri calendar, is - lunar. It was introduced by Khalifah Umar (RA). It begins from the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) migration to Madinah, known as Hijrah. The Hijri year consists of 354 days.

The Hijri calendar consists of 12 months. Each month begins with the sighting of the crescent.

The Islamic months are:

Muharram,

Safar, 

Rabi ul Awal,

Rabi ul Thani, 

Jumad ul Awal,

Jumad ul Akhir,

Rajab,

Sha'aban,

Ramadan,

Shawwal,

Dhul Qaeda,

Dhul-Hijjah.





The Hijri calendar marks many important days for the muslim world. It is indeed a mercy from our Lord ,that the rewards and virtues and things forbidden are mentioned clearly for us, Alhamdulillah.

May Allah help us to become better versions of ourselves, and give us a chance to do more good deeds ,repent for our mistakes , bring peace and love and grant victory to us in both worlds.

AMEEN

My younglings

 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...

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.

DAUGHTERS ARE GEMS💎💎

  Daughters are gems. Don't get me wrong, sons are gems too. I chose this topic because of the misogyny which still exists. It is such a shame that girls and women are still not given the respect they deserve. How can man be so prejudiced against women when she is the reason for your existence. So many people still blame ladies for having daughters without knowing that it is the father's chromosome that is responsible for the gender of the baby. Dislike for daughters has been prevelant since the early times. In Asian countries ladies are divorced for having daughters, primitive arabs used to even bury their daughters alive because they thought girls would bring shame to the family. In some communities people don't want girls because they have to give dowry during the time of marriage. We should remember that children are blessings from our Lord and irrespective of their gender we must treat them equally, educate them and provide them with all necessary provisions. Allah giv...
