Thankyou for sharing the above.

Its so beautiful, the words of the Beloved of Allah.

If only we reflected upon his words. Such as his words "Like for your brother, what you like for yourself".... this is sheer gold, if this was put into practice by everyone in the world, how much peace we would have.... if you like sucess, why dislike another who has it? if you like good food, why not offer it to another.... etc.... its advice that would take away many ills of society, family, jealousy, unity, equality.....

the words from the Prophet; "paradise lies under your mothers feet" so short, and so powerful, this is just another hadith from our rasul... people study for years about parenting, you have many spending so much money to learn about parenting, etc.... this is what our beloved said, and it summerizes the key to sucesse in family structure which in turn a sucessful home, as a nation is destroyed by what happens in the house.... if we only think a bit more.....

The words of the Prophet is so powerful and the consequences are so effective. Sometimes it boils down to how much you want it. How much you reflect, how much you put it into practice....

May Allah make us be amougst those whom He loves, ameen.

You could move these there if you want, n I dont know how to post in that section.

[suhayl]

I could do but makes it more work for us to keep moving everyones articles across.

Very easy to post in the articles section:

At the top (under the circles) you will see four buttons. One of them is called ARTICLES. Click on the button and it will take you to the articles page.

Click SUBMIT AN ARTICLE (left hand side menu). Fill in the relevant information and click SUBMIT ARTICLE.

Very simple.

[Striver]

Do we 'have' to post all articles there? I just checked it, n I find posting here alot easier.

[suhayl]

You could do, however we will have to keep moving them across, so whether you post them here or there, they are going to moved. It willl make it easier for us if you post it there directly.

Saying that, it is totally up to you, I don't mind either way.
