Indeed behind&nbsp;their&nbsp;success is hard work, taking risk, making mistakes and seeking&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;out of all. Life is all about taking risks. More failures mean more lessons and failure gives more chances.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6q1HbERa6eE/TxM8nTFNhZI/AAAAAAAABIg/rrdO0DYu9U4/s1600/mkm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6q1HbERa6eE/TxM8nTFNhZI/AAAAAAAABIg/rrdO0DYu9U4/s320/mkm.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>&nbsp;If you try and fail don’t give up, just take the lessons learn and try again.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If we let the fear of failure stand in our way then we can not achieve our dream life&nbsp;because&nbsp;fear of failure destroys success. Have courage to follow your dreams and believe that you can make your dreams come true. Our dreams that give our lives meaning. We have to fill our life with energy and passion. And to gather the courage to live life to its fullest, willing to take risks in life and grab for our dreams, for this we have to set goals and then work towards making those goals a reality. Willing to make our dreams come true this requires courage. On the behalf of courage along with appropriate planning and making on time and necessary decisions we can get our ideal goal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1810809986253974971-9017892621091720295?l=assmkhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Asma Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10210957480250708416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810809986253974971.post-47624330521518397212012-02-25T23:59:00.001-08:002012-02-26T02:49:34.937-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EhYXwa3QHrs/T0nl2tanoQI/AAAAAAAABJg/eTBTVAXQrts/s1600/mmmmm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EhYXwa3QHrs/T0nl2tanoQI/AAAAAAAABJg/eTBTVAXQrts/s320/mmmmm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://weheartit.com/entry/17750178">image source</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Happy is the person who finds fault with himself&nbsp;instead of finding fault with others.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I really feel bad whenever I see people comment on post's of facebook pages that are about affairs of famous&nbsp;&nbsp;personalities&nbsp;those belong to electronic media or politics etc. I don't know why people feel eager to comment in more biased way and use cheapest words for them, don't they know who are we to poke our nose into their matters or to judge them badly and gossip about their life; that why they do this and that. We are not judge and jury, it’s arrogant to judge anybody. We don’t know their whole story so why we assume. To me it's not freedom of speech but judging others unfairly.

We all are addicted to judge people who are around us, we are quick to judge other people about their attitude, looks, dressing, race, creed, sexuality, political orientation, social status, life style or anything else . In front of them we become gentle towards them, pretend to express love, affection and behind their back we&nbsp;brutally&nbsp;judge them even in front of them scold and nag them with harsh words try to tear apart&nbsp;their&nbsp;whole&nbsp;personality,&nbsp;their&nbsp;confidence and&nbsp;their&nbsp;image.<br /><br />The act of judgement is an act of pride because judging others energize pride. We put ourselves above other people when we make judgement about them.&nbsp;We think we know others intentions or we know where their heart stands. It’s stupid. And it only brings us down.<br />Some people are insecure and feel good by judging (gossip, criticise, belittle others &amp; finding faults) others and making fun of others to satisfy their own inner and try to cover their own weaknesses and insecurities.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TvG7-iXfdJM/T0i7UV4VQTI/AAAAAAAABJY/_DTLi4yywdg/s1600/fish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TvG7-iXfdJM/T0i7UV4VQTI/AAAAAAAABJY/_DTLi4yywdg/s320/fish.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://vampireheartsandy.tumblr.com/post/10928061620/this-is-brilliant-do-not-judge-people"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">image source</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>We all know deep down inside we can’t really judge another person.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>Making own judgement about others means we form a standard of our choice and make rules for them to follow.&nbsp;Individually&nbsp;we all are complex creatures and unique. Everyone of us has&nbsp;different&nbsp;&nbsp;nature, own ways and rules to spend his/her life, we all have different&nbsp;situations &amp; backgrounds, different experiences, different challenges. We have to&nbsp;accept the fact that everyone has a story and everyone has free will to decide what they want to do, how they want to live their life.<br /><br /><span style="text-align: justify;">Any judgement we make has no basis,&nbsp;</span><span style="text-align: justify;">Allah is the Judge and He will judge the people for indeed we do not know what is in the hearts of others, rather Allah knows what is in the breasts of mankind.</span><br /><span style="text-align: justify;"></span><br />Islam demands fairness and impartiality when it comes to judging others. Talking about other people on the basis of mere suspicion or hearsay and making wrong judgement and&nbsp;assumption&nbsp;is forbidden.<br />Allah says in Quran:<br />'O believers! Stand-up firmly by the Commandments of Allah, bearing witness with justice and let not the enmity of any people incite you that you should not do justice. Do justice that is nearer to piety and fear Allah, undoubtedly, Allah is aware of your doings.

Everyone has&nbsp;different&nbsp;meaning of fashion and style. Some people follow what others&nbsp;wear&nbsp;and how they look indeed this is not meaning of being stylish. Originality and individuality &nbsp;matter a lot when it comes to being stylish, to me style is something that makes you&nbsp;note able&nbsp;in&nbsp;gathering. Style is about choosing your clothes&nbsp;accessories&nbsp;way of&nbsp;talking, dealing people&nbsp;collectively&nbsp;enhancing&nbsp;of&nbsp;personalty&nbsp;in an&nbsp;appropriate&nbsp;way. Style covers Expression, Clothing, Fashion sense and grooming.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">[I read a fantastic article about style and fashion at<span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.kinowear.com/blog/">&nbsp;<span style="background-color: yellow;">"<b>kinowear.com</b>"</span></a></span> and &nbsp;in my article I&nbsp;include&nbsp;few points from that article with the permission of owner.]</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It’s the total combination of the way you dress, talk, move your body, or do anything for that matter. Simply put, it’s how we express our inner being outwardly. This includes all of our thoughts, emotions, interests, and values. Everything on the outside is merely a reflection of what’s on the inside. You may say style gives moral directions or style is somehow the image of character.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JshyiZGIfQk/TwvtOMo9ouI/AAAAAAAABHA/BNRmNNp-y88/s1600/bbbb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JshyiZGIfQk/TwvtOMo9ouI/AAAAAAAABHA/BNRmNNp-y88/s320/bbbb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://favim.com/image/224273/"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">image source</span></a></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fashion is something that comes after style. Remember that "fashion can be bought. Style one must possess." What we wear isn’t going to make up our entire impression, it does make up over 80% of our first impression. What we wear is what will kick-start the impression we make on others before we even open our mouth. This is the place from which people will filter everything we say and do.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just because style or expression doesn’t mean you can wear whatever you want while ignoring the message it’s conveying. There is a "language" that is spoken through specific types of clothing, that you must become familiar with in order to make a more positive influence than a negative one.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For example, picture a man in a well-fitted suit telling you that he runs a multi-national corporation and makes billions of dollars. Then, picture a man in an ill-fitting, dirty outfit telling you the same thing. Which would you believe more?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DVorsXIMyuM/TwvlGrBa7II/AAAAAAAABGw/wGNY60HGffo/s1600/styl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DVorsXIMyuM/TwvlGrBa7II/AAAAAAAABGw/wGNY60HGffo/s320/styl.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>According to studies at the University of California, 93% of our communication is non-verbal. Imagine asking someone "How are you?" If that person replies "Fine" in a curt manner with a frown on their face, and their arms crossed, are they communicating that they really feel fine"?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The messages we get across to other people has very little to do with the words that we use.&nbsp;Besides body language, the tone, pitch, and volume we use in our voice is all part of non-verbal communication that is really at the heart of the words we use.&nbsp;Style is a simple way of saying complicated things.&nbsp;</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Style development is parallel to personal development. Who you really are is close to the way the world will perceive you. But personal development is more for yourself, whereas style development is what will help you become more effective in your dealings with other people. Learning more and developing your competence on fashion, attractive body language, and social skills, it’ll result in a more fulfilling relationships with friends, coworkers, and the opposite sex.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t13JirSfYoM/TwvtqeuHvRI/AAAAAAAABHI/_oMpBYcGKJE/s1600/kkkkk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t13JirSfYoM/TwvtqeuHvRI/AAAAAAAABHI/_oMpBYcGKJE/s320/kkkkk.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><a href="http://favim.com/image/91686/"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">image source</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tips for personal style:&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1: Be unique and be yourself.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2: Choose clothes that they should fit.

And for years I believed that was me. I am a woman—that ugly duckling among men. For so long you taught me I was nothing more than a bad copy of the standard.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I couldn’t run as fast or lift as much. I didn’t make the same money and I cried too often. I grew up in a man’s world where I didn’t belong.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And when I couldn’t be him, I wanted only to please him. I put on your makeup and wore your short skirts. I gave my life, my body, my dignity, for the cause of being pretty. I knew that no matter what I did, I was worthy only to the degree that I could please and be beautiful for my master. And so I spent my life on the cover of Cosmo and gave my body for you to sell.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I was a slave, but you taught me I was free. I was your object, but you swore it was success. You taught me that my purpose in life was to be on display, to attract and be beautiful for men. You had me believe that my body was created to market your cars. And you raised me to think I was an ugly duckling.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But you lied.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7glqwOAfzGA/TtOlFmSfimI/AAAAAAAAAl4/kQbJyAFow3M/s1600/Women-in-islam-578x225.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="124" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7glqwOAfzGA/TtOlFmSfimI/AAAAAAAAAl4/kQbJyAFow3M/s320/Women-in-islam-578x225.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://shamsulhoque.com/?author=1&amp;paged=3">image source</a></div>Islam tells me I’m a Swan. I’m different—it’s meant to be that way. And my body, my soul, were created for something more.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Allah (God) says in the Qur’an:</div><div style="text-align: left;">'O people! We created you from one man and one woman and made you branches and tribes that you may recognize one another.

Surah Al-Hujurat : Ayat 13</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So I am honored. But it is not by my relationship to men. My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me. My worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety. And my purpose in life, despite what the fashion magazines say; is something more sublime than just looking good for men.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LNdYUPwO6HY/Ts5gdKONmqI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/wjlAjEtJtks/s1600/my.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LNdYUPwO6HY/Ts5gdKONmqI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/wjlAjEtJtks/s320/my.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://cocoaorcoffee.tumblr.com/post/12601040100/complete-black-04-by-s-sultana06">image source</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>My beauty is for my husband to see, not the world. ~True Muslimah</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">And so Allah (God) tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty, and to tell the world that I’m not here to please men with my body; I’m here to please Allah (God).

My worth is defined by the beauty of my soul, my heart, my moral character. So I won’t worship your beauty standards, and I don’t submit to your fashion sense.

It maintains that all humans are the children of one man (Adam) and one woman (Eve) and we all share the same lineage, as stated in the Quran:</div><div>'O people! Fear your Lord Who created you from a single soul and made its mate from within it, and from that pair spread many men and women and fear Allah in Whose name you ask for (your rights) and pay attention to the ties of relationship.

No superiority on account of class, color, origin or wealth.</div><div>Humanity represents one family springing from one and the same father and mother. The unity of humanity is not only in its origin but also in its ultimate aims. Man has a common origin, human status and aim. Other people's interests and rights to life, honor and property are respected as long as the rights of Muslims are intact.

Harming the body in any way is unlawful in Islam. Here are some example's smoking,drinking, taking drugs all these categories goes against Islam why? Because they harm the body.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Allah will question you for ever single action you have committed in this world and ask you why did you commit this action.&nbsp;</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AmFpO-vXYeA/TqAHTEE0WuI/AAAAAAAAAeY/tRBTJRAOM20/s1600/smoke-skeleton.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AmFpO-vXYeA/TqAHTEE0WuI/AAAAAAAAAeY/tRBTJRAOM20/s320/smoke-skeleton.jpg" width="297" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">image source;internet</span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Stop Smoking:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you are a smoker then the above should give you some food for thought, the previously mentioned reasons will obviously encourage you to quit smoking.

Squeeze balls, pencils, or paper clips are good substitutes to satisfy that need for tactile stimulation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Keep other things around to pop in your mouth when you’re craving a cigarette. Good choices include mints, hard candy, carrot or celery sticks, gum, and sunflower seeds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Flushing toxins from your body minimizes withdrawal symptoms and helps cravings pass faster.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are also medicines available on prescription, talk to your doctor about what would be best for you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also having support around you from your family and friends is important, because they can really help you. Your support group will look over you and know your goal of quitting smoking so as to reward you when you achieve it.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once you have decided to quit smoking you will notice your health improving. &nbsp;Your taste buds will improve as will your sense of smell and your breathing will return to normal, although this will take some time as the lungs clean themselves gradually and it is a slow process. &nbsp;Being able to really taste and enjoy your food again will help you to stay off the cigarettes for good.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1810809986253974971-3163576761399142905?l=assmkhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Asma Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10210957480250708416noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810809986253974971.post-57975205636814383332011-10-20T13:16:00.000-07:002011-10-22T07:18:40.947-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Allah orders men and women to lower their gaze as shown in the following two verses and in the Prophet Muhammad's (Peace Be Upon Him) hadith (interpretations of the meanings):<br />"Order the Muslim men to lower down their sights a little&nbsp;(from looking at forbidden things)&nbsp;and to guard their private parts. This is cleaner for them, undoubtedly, Allah is Aware of their deeds.<br />And order the Muslim women to lower down their sights a little&nbsp;(from looking at forbidden things)&nbsp;and guard their chastity," Surah An-Nur : Ayat 30-31<br />&nbsp;Allah's messenger said: "Do not follow a casual (unintentional) look (at forbidden things) with another look." Al-Tirmidhi 2777. This is a general instruction by the Prophet &nbsp;to abstain from all that may sexually excite a person because it might lead him/her to commit the haraam (forbidden).<br /><br />5: Using one's available leisure time in worshipping Allah and increasing religious knowledge.<br />6: Being cautious not to develop any of the medical symptoms that may result from masturbation such as weak eyesight, weak nervous system, and/or back pain. More importantly, feeling of guilt and anxiety that can be complicated by missing obligatory prayers because of the need to shower (ghusl) after every incidence of masturbation.<br />7: Avoiding the illusion that some youth have that masturbation is permissible because it prevents them from committing illegal sexual acts such as fornication or even homosexuality.<br />8: Reduce the amount of spices and condiments in your food. Eat as lightly as possible at night.<br /><div><div>9: Avoid bad company, and endeavor to stay in the company of the pious and righteous, in the Mosque, and with learned Ulama as much as possible.&nbsp;</div></div><div><div>10; If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, You must cut off them. Never associate with other people having the same weakness. Don't suppose that two of you will quit together, you never will. You must get away from people of that kind.&nbsp;</div><div>11: When you bathe, do not admire yourself in a mirror. Never stay in the bath more than five or six minutes.</div></div>12: Strengthening one's willpower and avoiding spending time alone as recommended by the Prophet when he said "Do not spend the night alone" Ahmad 6919.<br />13: Following the Prophet's aforementioned hadeeth and fast when possible because fasting will temper one's sexual desire and keep it under control. However, one should not overreact and swear by Allah not to return to the act because if one does not honor one's promise, one would be facing the consequences of not living up to one's oath to Allah. Also, note that medication to diminish one's sexual desire is strictly prohibited because it might permanently affect one's sexual ability.<br />14: Trying to follow the Prophet's recommendation concerning the etiquette of getting ready for bed, such as reading well-known supplications, sleeping on the right side, and avoiding sleeping on the belly (the Prophet forbade sleeping on the belly).<br />15: Striving hard to be patient and chaste, because persistence will eventually, Allah willing, lead to attaining those qualities as second nature, as the Prophet explains in the following hadith: <br />&nbsp;"Whoever seeks chastity Allah will make him chaste, and whoever seeks help from none but Allah, He will help him, and whoever is patient He will make it easy for him, and no one has ever been given anything better than patience." Bukhari:1469.<br />16: Repenting, asking forgiveness from Allah, doing good deeds, and not losing hope and feeling despair are all prerequisites to curing this problem. Note that losing hope is one of the major sins punishable by Allah.<br />17: Finally, Allah is the Most Merciful and He always responds to whoever calls on Him. So, asking for Allah's forgiveness will be accepted, by His will.<br />18: Eat more soybean products and eliminating excessive caffeine from your diet. Focus on nutty foods like sunflower seeds, and peanuts and eat more sea foods, seaweed, vegetables, and try to minimize red meat and dairy product intake. Instead of soda, try drinking orange juice or cranberry juice and, of course, drink plenty of water.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>You can win this fight!

When we are children we are content with parental love and family bonds make us feel satisfy and secure. When we mature and we form romantic relationships, most individuals feel a natural need to love and be loved in return.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Love is so common word in our everyday vocabulary. Specially guys use love like it's not a big thing. Guys randomly throw “I love you” around like it’s nothing, so girls! do not flatter your self.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xy5Hbou75Uc/TiPtCwTAlTI/AAAAAAAAAHE/jWQQZAJFWY0/s1600/tumblr_lg526exNfh1qfkyyuo1_400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xy5Hbou75Uc/TiPtCwTAlTI/AAAAAAAAAHE/jWQQZAJFWY0/s320/tumblr_lg526exNfh1qfkyyuo1_400.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rsvblogger.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/15-he-loves-me-he-loves-me-not/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">image source</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Whimsically plucking a daisy's petals and wondering 'He loves me, he loves me not'&nbsp;</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The question whether he loves me or not usually bothers every girl. Does he really love me? This question is obvious when you are trying to figure out whether a guy loves you or not. There is a big difference in loving and liking someone. Sometimes love is confused with a strong friendship or relationship.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4hBCRP4NgjU/To379sXMPdI/AAAAAAAAAcg/2L-ZXy6H_eg/s1600/tell.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4hBCRP4NgjU/To379sXMPdI/AAAAAAAAAcg/2L-ZXy6H_eg/s320/tell.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sayingimages.info/post/4672356340/show-me-dont-tell-me-featured-on-saying"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">image source</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Always remember that actions speak louder than words! This will help out a lot in your everyday interactions. As you know sometimes we listen what we wish to hear, same goes with seeing and feelings.&nbsp;A man will say anything he thinks; you want to hear to get what he wants, but if his actions prove it. The way he behaves around you, the way he treats you, the things he does for you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If a guy loves you, definitely, he tells you, he makes you feel special, he cares a lot, his feelings must be clearly reflected in his behaviors, expressions, passion and actions alike. But if he doesn’t reflect this love for you through these mediums, then do not waste your time and do not beat down your self respect.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1810809986253974971-5994507089992772768?l=assmkhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Asma Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10210957480250708416noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810809986253974971.post-11936040310563295362011-09-27T05:07:00.000-07:002012-01-13T23:31:31.754-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The implication when you say “maybe you’re right” is the humility of admitting, “maybe I’m wrong”. Let’s face it. When you have an argument with someone, all you normally do is solidify the other person’s point of view. They, or you, will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you. Saying “maybe you’re right” can open the door to explore the subject more. You may then have the opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the other person.&nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-83Cen0EV21o/Tk7iGfV1RVI/AAAAAAAAAQc/Ueqcxwktgis/s1600/sorry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-83Cen0EV21o/Tk7iGfV1RVI/AAAAAAAAAQc/Ueqcxwktgis/s320/sorry.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.fredonia.edu/SA/ImprovSociety/Fun/wallpapers.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">image source</span></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><b>&nbsp;Please forgive me.</b></span></div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h-0FWF-3rlQ/Tk_pjveSqfI/AAAAAAAAARA/s6aPPyYAKzs/s1600/001.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h-0FWF-3rlQ/Tk_pjveSqfI/AAAAAAAAARA/s6aPPyYAKzs/s320/001.gif" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.topglittergraphics.com/thank_you.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">image source</span></a></div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">I thank you.</span></b></div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don’t take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness.

This may be seen as improper or brazen in some cultures. But that is a cultural attitude, not an Islamic one.&nbsp;</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We live in a society where we are of the mindset that it's the man who should always make the proposal for marriage. Our society set rule that it's the man who has to propose and make women feel guilty or ashamed as if they would be doing something so wrong and unacceptable by asking for a man's hand in marriage. So many women wait and wait on the man to propose, and sometimes months and even years go by, and if a man doesn't propose, the woman herself become a question mark.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qo9heZVSHWo/TjrxTIQGUxI/AAAAAAAAANE/j0NuuCpd0Aw/s1600/When_the_moon_met_the_star_by_sakura02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qo9heZVSHWo/TjrxTIQGUxI/AAAAAAAAANE/j0NuuCpd0Aw/s320/When_the_moon_met_the_star_by_sakura02.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://sakura02.deviantart.com/art/When-the-moon-met-the-star-136839914?q=boost%3Apopular%20muslim%20couple&amp;qo=62">image source</a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In some cases when a daughter dare to suggest a suitable man to her parents which considered a crime, and also considered rude and offensive and&nbsp;automatically&nbsp;deemed to mean&nbsp;that she is involved in an illicit relationship with him. All these culturally-driven notions and customs are against to the teachings of Islam.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is nothing in Quran or Sunnah that would suggest that it is prohibited for a woman to initiate a marriage proposal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Islam , there is no problem for a Muslim woman to propose to a Muslim man. Islam gives a Muslim woman the right and honour to make such a proposal without feeling guilty or ashamed.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our best role model is the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and in this veiw we can find a most beautiful example.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When a proposal sent from Ummul-Mumineen Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah Anha) to &nbsp;Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), through her friend "Nafisah".</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nafisah delivered the proposal to our Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). And He accepted this proposal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Obviously Allah would never have permitted him to accept a proposal from a woman if doing so was in any way shameful or improper.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is absolutely no prohibition in Islam for a woman to propose marriage to a man. It is perfectly fine for you to approach the man in a most honorable way and let him know your intentions by hinting or being flat out about it, depending upon the noble custom in your society. It should be done through the proper and&nbsp;reasonable&nbsp;channels and without violating any rules of Shari’ah.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BYNvCkYAO4M/Tjrx34M5ZUI/AAAAAAAAANI/pK461atDJto/s1600/married_muslim_couple_by_littlemuslimah-d3ircpt.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BYNvCkYAO4M/Tjrx34M5ZUI/AAAAAAAAANI/pK461atDJto/s320/married_muslim_couple_by_littlemuslimah-d3ircpt.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://littlemuslimah.deviantart.com/art/Married-muslim-couple-212907809">image source</a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A woman could do this would be to ask her parents to approach his parents; or to send a message through someone who knows him (for example his sister, aunt, cousin, etc) that she is interested, in order to learn if he also might be interested. She can also approach him directly and raise the subject, as long as she follows Islamic rules of etiquette (meeting in public,&nbsp;having a&nbsp;chaperone, no flirtatious or sexual speech, lowering the gaze, etc).</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;matter who propose, as long as its done in a good moral way within Islamic morality.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And it is also perfectly acceptable for a woman’s family to propose marriage. Unfortunately, however, there remains a stigma within certain Muslim cultures against a woman’s family proposing or initiating marriage talks.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) offered his daughter, Hafsa (Allah Be Pleased With Her), not only to one but two individuals: Sayyiduna Usman (Allah be pleased with him) and Sayiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (Allah be pleased with them),&nbsp;latter-on&nbsp;the Holy Prophet&nbsp;Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) &nbsp;himself asked for the hand of Hadrat Hafsa&nbsp;&nbsp;(Allah Be Pleased With Her)&nbsp;from Hadrat&nbsp;Umar&nbsp;ibn&nbsp;al-Khattab&nbsp;(Allah Be Pleased With Him)&nbsp;. &nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, when the Prophet of Allah, Sayiduna Shu’ayb (Peace Be Upon Him) observed the beautiful character of Sayiduna Musa [Moses](Peace Be Upon Him) and his praiseworthy attributes such as trustworthiness, he proposed marriage to him for one of his daughters.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So it is also proved, there is nothing wrong with a woman’s guardian (wali) proposing marriage on her behalf to a righteous and suitable man.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qwKZe5fBhKE/Tjrwyuw7fdI/AAAAAAAAANA/Qn0gFxUW_c4/s1600/love_island_by_aram287.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qwKZe5fBhKE/Tjrwyuw7fdI/AAAAAAAAANA/Qn0gFxUW_c4/s320/love_island_by_aram287.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://aram287.deviantart.com/art/love-island-67731924?q=boost%3Apopular%20muslim%20couple&amp;qo=14">image source</a></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>We need to remind ourselves that it was Khadija-tul-Kubra&nbsp;(Razi&nbsp;Allah&nbsp;Anha) [the Prophet’s first wife] who asked for the Prophet’s hand in marriage; and it was then and still is now an&nbsp;honorable&nbsp;thing to do. So sisters, it is within your right to make the first move. If there is a good brother out there that you like as a husband, then don't be ashamed or afraid to ask for the brother's hand in marriage. If you are too shy or afraid to ask, then let a family member, your parents or even a good friend ask on your behalf.

This is so dangerous and destructive to not only you, but also to that special, reserved gift that your heart holds, that God wants you to give only to your future husband.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You see, when you willingly give out these keys to your heart, you allow the guy to unlock your heart anytime he wants, and to cause you even more pain—especially when the relationship ends.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U2MFZELw1eY/Twa12m1AF5I/AAAAAAAABF4/SczSa6wVirY/s1600/403935_206038579483798_100002329710110_437614_1139465622_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U2MFZELw1eY/Twa12m1AF5I/AAAAAAAABF4/SczSa6wVirY/s320/403935_206038579483798_100002329710110_437614_1139465622_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Girls, protect the key to your heart, the key to your wellspring of life.</i></b></div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You have allowed a guy(or quite a few) to see and experience the intimacy of knowing you on that deep of a level, and unlocking that special, reserved gift. By not guarding your heart and by handing out keys to other guys, you end up having to experience the pain of that gift being torn apart and mistreated. You become known as “easy” to get, guys brag it up to their friends on how they “conquered” you, you feel like you’ve lost your value, you feel guilty for neglecting to guard your heart, you feel used, you may get depressed, you may lower your standards and morals; the list of emotions and actions that you may experience as a result is endless and varies for each girl, yet one thing is certain—all girls will feel hurt.<br /><br /></div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ANNHIRMCwf8/TwauEX1NPCI/AAAAAAAAA_k/WMtjWhrzo9o/s1600/1+%252836%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ANNHIRMCwf8/TwauEX1NPCI/AAAAAAAAA_k/WMtjWhrzo9o/s320/1+%252836%2529.png" width="320" /></a></div><b>Are you watching…</b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. What You Say:</b> Are you waiting to say “I love you” until you hear it, and can earnestly say it in return, and feel as though this person is “the one” from God? Are you telling boys about your secret hopes and dreams, your deep, intimate, personal thoughts?&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">(such as your wedding dreams, ways that a guy could win over your heart, etc)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2.

What You Think:</b> Are you hoping that this guy you like will ask you about something so you can spill your heart out to him?

He does not want to see you go through such unnecessary pain, but instead wants to help protect your heart. When you surrender the master key of your heart over to Allah (God), He will protect it, not allow anyone to abuse it and will only hand it over to “the one” He has hand-picked out for you.</div><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;

But often what we get, instead, is a feeling of being misunderstood, rejected and betrayed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">In society we're taught it's not OK to feel pain or hurt. Men, especially, feel they're not strong if they feel pain or hurt. It's crucial that we allow ourselves to feel those vulnerable feelings, because we can't heal them unless we're willing to feel them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w1NUZP14-1Q/TiLoZcq7LRI/AAAAAAAAAG0/uukCpW9hkm0/s1600/269976_120178108069846_100002329710110_183763_6005688_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w1NUZP14-1Q/TiLoZcq7LRI/AAAAAAAAAG0/uukCpW9hkm0/s320/269976_120178108069846_100002329710110_183763_6005688_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">image source; internet</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">If we observe, we will noticed many forms of betrayal, that we might face in our lives. Like breaking the commitment of any type, betrayal in friendship, infidelity.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Another kind of betrayal is withholding or withdrawing, so we don't really share our feelings and what's going on inside of us. Our feelings, our hopes, our fears, our longings, our hurts, and even little&nbsp;misunderstandings &amp; complains, we keep them secret from the other person. That creates distance in any relationship.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W4bgJC3LnNI/TibG16pIHyI/AAAAAAAAAI8/2Of9fXdKy9Y/s1600/torn-paper-3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W4bgJC3LnNI/TibG16pIHyI/AAAAAAAAAI8/2Of9fXdKy9Y/s320/torn-paper-3.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">We need to learn how to grieve the hurt of betrayal, so we don't carry forward those hurts, close down and become bitter. That's the real tragedy of betrayal, when people close down and become bitter towards life. We need to learn how to grieve the hurt &amp; compose&nbsp;our self&nbsp;so we can open our hearts again to another possibility, another relationship. For a healthy&nbsp;relationship&nbsp;we have to create a climate of trust, love, care &amp; honor, so we minimize the prospect of betrayal.</div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1810809986253974971-8678524275364070666?l=assmkhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Asma Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10210957480250708416noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810809986253974971.post-29417450858174911032011-07-18T01:30:00.000-07:002011-10-06T12:20:11.369-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QbRPvTC-0Og/TiPhjUIbKqI/AAAAAAAAAG8/YZ8fjkvLT-M/s1600/050644762409df15124345713d607f6c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QbRPvTC-0Og/TiPhjUIbKqI/AAAAAAAAAG8/YZ8fjkvLT-M/s320/050644762409df15124345713d607f6c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">image source;internet</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are three phases of knowledge in Islam.
