Bismillah hir Rahmanir Rahim In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Today, I studied verse number 2,3 & 4. Here is the english translation of the three verses. 4:2 -  And give unto orphans their property and do not exchange (your) bad things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by adding it) to your substance. Surely, this is a great sin. 4:3 -  And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice. 4:4 -  And give to the women (whom you marry) their Mahr (obligatory bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it,...

Bismillah irRahman irRahim In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful In one of the social gatherings few years back, I was overhearing a conversation few sisters were having. I was trying my level best to keep my mind away from this conversation because its generally bad to hear someone else’s conversation. However, before I moved away from them, I heard something that troubled me for few nights!!

Both the husband and the wife were doctors and their parents were also doctors!!! This is where I started thinking that there is something seriously wrong with our education system, even my friends who...

I feel this is very true for our homes as well. In fact a lot of domestic issues will be sorted out if we understand the state of the other person. We need to do this most importantly with our women; we men have no idea what they go through at all! It was a normal day’s start for me until I heard that the maid is not going to come today, she has taken an off. If you are married and have experienced similar situation, you would know what the home turns into when the maid takes an off at the last moment!!! After lunch, when I stepped into the kitchen, I saw a huge pile of utensils to be washed. I realise...
