Mother’s Day
How many times have you been reminded of the above verse? But time and again we forget ourselves and overstep the limits. Yet, parents are parents, and at the end of the day you’ll always be their darling child. Parenting is a ginormous responsibility which Allah has blessed some people with; the amount of sacrifice parents go through to ensure their child gets the best start in life is unparalleled. Sleepless nights, tiresome days, coupled with continuous forbearance and patience is just a small part of parenthood.Now it’s our turn to give back. Though, we can never ever repay our parents for the time and effort they dedicated to us; we can show them gratitude.It’s Mother’s Day, and many children will be encouraged to draw cards, write cute messages and purchase gifts for their...

Teens and Social Media
By Aya AlzuabiSocial media has become an obsession, plaguing today’s generation of teenagers. At gatherings with friends or family, teenagers are more likely to spend their time on their phones than to pay attention to the people they are actually with at the moment. Many may wonder why social media appeals so much to adolescents. Well, there are actually many factors that go into it.It is well known that teenagers are easily influenced. They are especially influenced by their peers. More often than not, teenagers try their best to fit in with the social norm.

To die a Martyr
Saudi GazetteTo die a martyr in the Islamic faith is one of the greatest honors. The rewards granted to the martyr are so sublime and are superior to the rewards for performing almost any other righteous act.The martyr is given seven special favors and privileges from Allah. Once the first drop of his blood is shed, all of his sins are forgiven. Before he dies, the martyr can see the beauty of his palace in Paradise. The martyr will not be tested in the grave, nor will he be punished in the grave. The martyr will not feel fear on the Day of Judgment. A crown of honor will be placed on his head, which has jewels that could illuminate the Earth from their brilliance. The martyr will marry the most beautiful women of Paradise. The martyr will be able to intercede for seventy members of his...

The Patience of Ayyub
Saudi GazetteEvery person is faced with trials and tribulations at one point or another in their lives. It is patience that helps the believer cope. When calamity befalls a patient believer, it does not crush him. Instead, the believer endures, persists, and has hope in the mercy of Allah and the rewards that are awaiting him on the Day of Judgment.Patience is a virtue that you can work on to develop.There is much to learn from the story of Prophet Ayyub, as he is the ideal example of the afflicted believer who remained patient and faithful to His Lord.Prophet Ayyub (peace be upon him) was mentioned in the Holy Qur’an four times. He resided in the region that is now Syria. Prior to his illness, Prophet Ayyub was an extremely wealthy man. He possessed treasures of gold and silver, and he...

Hijab offers liberation, admiration and security
By Eve Dugdale“MUSLIM women, along with followers of many other religions, choose to wear the hijab. Many find liberation, respect and security through wearing it.”That was the British Foreign Office’s message to staff as it invited them to try out wearing the headscarf for the day to celebrate World Hijab Day this month.The occasion – that I’d never heard of until this year – was founded by New Yorker Nazma Khan five years ago. Taking place on Feb. 1 each year in 140 countries, organizers say the day is intended to encourage women of all religions and backgrounds to wear and experience the hijab.Senator Roxanne J Persaud from New York said that World Hijab Day presented “an opportunity for us to learn about this religious custom, thus leading to less discrimination for the...

Islam is not only for Muslims, says scholar
Saudi GazetteISLAM is not a religion for Muslims alone; it is for the entire mankind, a well-known Indian scholar and preacher has said.“It is our duty to enlighten followers of other religions on the noble teachings of Islam. Our religion teaches us moderation, tolerance, compassion and peaceful coexistence,” Muhammad Umar Gautam, chairman of the New Delhi-based Islamic Dawah Center (IDC), said at a special function organized by Aligarh Muslim University Old Boys Association (Jeddah chapter) in Jeddah recently.It is high time to exert great efforts to disseminate the sublime nature of Islam at a time when the image of the religion which preaches peace is tarnished by its own followers, as well as by certain deviant groups, said the preacher who reverted to Islam in 1984.Formerly known...

Running late
Saudi GazetteYou schedule an appointment or a meeting at 11 am, and you expect everyone to arrive a few minutes earlier and that the meeting will actually start at exactly 11 am. But that doesn’t really happen, does it?It has become so widespread in our culture to be late, that it is no longer limited to only social gatherings or a couple friends meeting for coffee, but it is apparent in professional settings as well.When it comes to social gatherings, some people intentionally arrive late. Contrary to the excuses that we have invented, that it is fashionable to be late and to attend the party after almost everyone has already arrived, it is actually inconsiderate to the host of the party. You are making it difficult and awkward for the people who invited you. With some guests showing up...
