Music effects on teens
See article
As always people are quick to condemn the reports, but there is some evidence there.
Ah...the wisdom of the Islamic way!

Marriage Proposals - interesting criteria
I came across this from a sister.
Her requirements are very enlightening, specially the Marriage Contract at the end
An English sister, reverted 2 years ago, age is 20 years is available for marriage proposals. Here is her requirements:
- To have a great love and fear for Allah, so that they will be able to help and guide me in Islam, and that we may in turn help each other in Islam.
- Legal in this country (British resident, Legal Student, or on legal work permit)
- Single, divorced is OK
- Have his family's permission to marry English women
- His age must be 19 to 26, absolute maximum is 27 years.
- Have a job and able to financially support his new family without the need for her to work.
- Want children, because " i would like to have children insha allah I would like to be a 'stay as home wife', looking after the children and being the best wife I can be"
- Able to offer an Islamic accommodation for himself and his wife
- Have Islam as priority over his culture... Any cultural background is OK as long as religion (not culture!) is the main point of reference regarding any family issue.
- Fully read, understand and happily accept the 59 pages on this link

It is not madness it is trust
Surah 8 Verse 49
Those of weak faith and the hypocrites talk of how Islam has made the Muslims run to their death. But Allah says it is not so, it is the trust the Muslims have in Allah that makes them do this.
In Allah should the Muslims place their trust. They will find Allah worthy of their trust.

Iblis at his weakest
Surah 8 Verse 48
Iblis came to Abu Jahl as the leader of one of the tribes that the Quraish were always wary of. This was to give them courage to fight Muslims.
When Iblis came to the battle with his 'soldiers', he saw Jibraeel (alayhis salaam) organising the angels, he realised he had to run. Some scholars say that if angels touched them, they would burn. They did not want to die, so they fled.
This is the only time Iblis looked weak and small in front of man.
When Quraish went to leader to ask him why he fled, he responded that he had never been there.
Iblis even says he fears Allah!

Abu Jahl - pomp and downfall
Surah Anfal Verse 47
Even though Abu Sufyan got his caravan safe, Abu Jahl wanted to make a point of humiliating Muslims. He wanted to go to Badr and have a big celebration, singing, food to strike fear in Muslims and all of Arabia. In the end he tasted not from cups of wine but from cup of death. There was no singing but mourning.
This verse also warns against doing things for show. We should always be sincere in our actions.

Stand firm, do not argue or else....
Surah Anfal Verse 45
Remember Allah much.
Verse 46
if you dispute you will lose heart and lose power.
Divide and conquer. The age old motto may have come from this.

Poor, unhappy children in the wealthy nations
Selfish adults 'damage childhood'
Full report - The Good Childhood Inquiry
The report suggests that more working mothers has contributed to damage done to children. The economic independence of women is seen to contribute to higher levels of breakup in UK than other Western European countries.
Too much freedom it seems is not a good thing.
Islam always puts great emphasis on the family unit. Now others can see why.
The problem with the scientific method is that it depends on observation and experimentation for its data. So essentially the problem has to happen first then and only then the solution can be found. So this means that one waits for the problem to happen then we fix it. Prevention is better than cure is not relevant here because there is no data to based the prevention on!
Allah tells us of the best way to live, Allah knows the problems even before they happen. Following the Islamic way prevents us becoming data and statistics for scientists. Because we are not objects, we are human beings.
Now they tell us what they have found. But everyone knows this, it is common sense. But when challenged, we are told we need to research, this is your opinion, where is the basis for your thoughts. In the meantime thousands,millions of children's lives are messed up, while the research is ongoing. Even when the findings are published, there is controversy, disputes. People stuck into the way of living cannot back out. Governments have to listen to electorate. So nothing changes! Children's lives are messed up more, grow into messed up adults and the circle goes on
