A short but excellent piece on sabr explaining what is sabr,how it should be practised and the stages of ma'arifah that can be achieved by doing Sabr.

These actions are not Wajib ,they are Mustahab.

Uh, I can't speak for women but, far as I know, it is wajib for men that their elbows are above the ground during sujood.

During the sujood of the prayer, it is mustahab for women to rest their elbows on the ground or floor, but it is mustahab for men to lift their elbows off the ground or floor. See the word elbows at these links:

Ramadan is going to be fun this year, gonna have the pleasure of fasting and breaking my fast alone.

If a women is praying next to me, how far back does she need to stand?

From my understanding the place of her head in sajjda can at minimum distance be in line with the place of my knees when I am sajjda.

Yes, the knee is the known minimum limit, however, if you have plenty of room she can pray behind you. Women can be slow to rise from their sujood, especially if they are tired, ill or pregnant. It's possible that when you rise from sujood she might be slow in rising from sujood and seeing her from the corner of your eye might distract you from your prayer.

Give her a call,ask her if she's okay. Maybe she isn't well or overwhelmed with work and looking after a child in which case you can offer to go over and help. 

5 days. So l took up your suggestion.

5 rings. "Hello", she said. "Happy Mother's Day!" l said. "Thank You.  l'II call you in the morning. Bye."

Your never alone brother, you have at least two angels Raqib and Atid (the writer of deeds/words/thoughts) and Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى by you at all times.

Doesn't really count.

Brother, be careful about your nutrition. Eat and drink healthy foods to start and break your fast. Oily foods might taste good but eventually make you feel sick.

Yet they are there with you. Do you know what angels do when unto themselves? Plus you are ascribing an attribute to Allah-s.w.t. that is not revealed.

Can I see or hear them? Can I have a conversation with them? That's what i mean by it doesn't count. How am I ascribing an attribute to Allah?

Tomorrow is the day of al-Nakbah and it is the day that the criminal state of israel was formed thru the stealing of land, killing of people and by the help of the UK. And today is the day that the US decides to move its embassy to Jerusalem, saying it is the capital of the criminal state of israel.

We bought this new house recently, a great house for investment, slightly old. It has been vacant for quite a while. However, recently someone cutt off all the pipe connections outside (maybe to steal it and make money), so we literally have no water and gas. The connections were all perfect a while back. Gosh some people can be so annoying, causing unncessesary hassle

It has taken the West 2 millennia to better the Roman Empire in pacifying its populace.

Ask the neighbors if they saw anything. Even if they say no they never saw the vandalism, at least you met them and then you can give them your phone number. After you get the repairs done on the house, talk to them again and ask them to call the police if they see anyone messing around your house. After they call police then they should call you.

Please remember to recite the dua for coming of the month of Ramadan, its a dua from the book of Imam Sajjad(as).

Yeah repair is almost done thankfully, but I guess that happened because house was vacant for a while before we shifted. The suburb isn't really known to be dodgy or anything.

Bismehe Ta3ala,

Assalam Alikum 

Sister @Pearl178 while the message is beautiful and children are innocent, those damn 3rab leaders are hypocrites and liars. I can't stand their deception to the public.  Several dozen died and hundreds of Palestinians have been maimed  and the gulf arabs are sending a message of peace?  Their silence and policy says otherwise.

May Allah destroy House of Sa3ood.

God bless you and I wish you and your family Shahr Ramadhan mubarak.  I know you meant well, my message is to the hypocrite arabs,

M3 Salamah, FE AMIN Allah
