*Keep in mind, the Quran was spoken not written - so how do you map this out in oration? And this surah in particular came in response to a question, and was not a “premeditated” production. Incredible.
*2.5 Yusuf is sold as property into Egypt — 10.5 Yusuf becomes the treasurer over the properties of Egypt.

Lawful Entertainment, Toys & Creative Play
It is important that we enjoy our days of Eid and that we make them healthy and halal, free of intermingling among the sexes, music, exposing the awrah, smoking, etc.
It is also important to raise our children to enjoy and appreciate their days of celebration. Have outings and give them gifts, and teach them to glorify the Name of Allah the Most High for His gracious favors upon us.
In addition, let that entertainment and fun come in a lawful manner. Let their gifts be in the form of what will help in raising them with their Islamic identity, which is one of Tawhid and Sunnah and good manners. Toys should come in the form of what is free of the bad symbolism found in many toys produced in western society.
Avoid introducing them to the customs and unbefitting values of the disbelievers which are incorporated into their own toy culture. They have iconic figures in their hollywood and disney culture: figurines in the form of Barbie or mutants or superheroes like batman, superman, spiderman, star wars, harry potter, etc.
The concepts and ideas these figures represent are much deeper than the average person may suspect--Allah bless you. They contain themes of clear-cut kufr and shirk and magic at times, encouragement to adultery, revolutions against authorities, ill treatment to the elderly and parents, oppressive revenge and retaliation, aggression and violence, offensive language, uncovering the awrah, belittling and dismantling the true roles of men and women, and all of this is easily tucked into a single iconic figure.
Allah ta'la said,
{ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قُوۤا۟ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَأَهۡلِیكُمۡ نَارࣰا وَقُودُهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلۡحِجَارَةُ } [سُورَةُ التَّحۡرِيمِ: ٦]
O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is of men and stones. At-Tahrim:6
Our beloved Prophet ﷺ said,
Everyone of you is a shephard and will be questioned about his/her flock. Agreed upon
The parents and caretakers have a right to offer their youth healthy, lawful entertainment and not to fill their hearts and minds with attachment to these false icons of western societies which help foster in our children poor manners, beliefs, behaviors, and ideals and may well serve as a gateway to their polytheistic culture.
Instead, you can choose beneficial things which help foster creative play: The options are endless.
Today, international and global trade exists and products from all over the world can be brought to your doorstep. Our ability to access toys from all over the world allows us many halal, beneficial toys which foster creativity, thinking, education and entertainment--all at the same time.
Lets make good choices.

Ibn Taymiyyahs’ journey of seeking knowledge could be categorized into three different stages:
Stage #1: Age of 6-16
During this stage, he memorized the Qur’an and learned Sunnah, fiqh, Arabic, tafsir, etc. and the people of Damascus were so amazed by his intelligence at this very young age. At that young age, he was already debating with deviant Muslims and refuting their arguments. He even authored some material during that stage.
During this time, he of course made some mistakes. For example, he was highly impressed with Ibn Arabi during this stage, but with time when his knowledge increased, he eventually abandoned Ibn Arabi.
Stage #2: Age of 17-40 (approx.)
He started advancing in knowledge and began issuing fatwas and teaching (with permission from other scholars) and authoring works in Hanbali fiqh.
Stage #3: Age 40 onward
Ibn Taymiyyah became a Mujtahid mutlaq and no longer restricted himself to passing fatwas according to one madhab only. The legacy he left behind has continued to make a great positive impact on the lives of millions of Muslims today.
Sooo……..

The Prophets were Fathers of Daughters
– Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله
💎💎💎💎
Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله [751 AH] said; “Allah ﷻ has revealed in regards to the right of women
فَإِنْ كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَيَجْعَلُ اللهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا كَثِيراً “If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of good.” [Surah an-Nisā 4:19]
And just like daughters, a person may find much good in them in this life and the next. It is quite repulsive that a man should hate that which pleases Allah ﷻ, and to hate a blessing that is bestowed upon him. It was mentioned that Ṣāliḥ ibn Aḥmad said; ‘Whenever my father [Imām Aḥmad] had a daughter born to him, he would say: the Prophets were the fathers of daughters, and in regarding the daughters there has come [in the narrations a reward] that is known.’ Yaʿqūb ibn Bukhtān said; ‘Seven daughters were born to me, and every time I had a daughter born to me I would go to Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and he would say to me; ‘Yaʿqūb! The Prophets were fathers of daughters..’ and his speech would do away with my worry.'”

Uqbah ibn Aamir narrated, I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say:
“Whoever has three daughters and is patient towards them, and feeds them, gives them to drink, and clothes them from his wealth; they will be a shield for him from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.” (Authenticated by Al-Albani)

The lack of masculine men is toxic. Society is now filled with emasculated fools simping over immodest feminists who they have themselves empowered. The secular education system and government owned scholars (in the churches and mosques) have further contributed to the destruction and eradication of the traditional family.

All this teenage romance that you see in colleges/universities, perhaps stems from mommy/dady issues at home ... the unmet emotional needs at home pull them closer outside ... and then more heart breaks follow ... as you can't quench your thirst with a bread ... so on so forth ....

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim quotes a beautiful saying:
لا تكرهوا أولادكم على آثاركم فإنهم مخلوقون لزمان غير زمانكم
‘Don’t force your traditions upon your children, because they were created for a different era than you.’
[‘Ighathatu al-Lahfan‘, 2/265].

When Imam Bukhari was 3 years of age, he lost his eyesight.
His mother promised herself that she would pray #tahajjud salah until Allah restores her son's eyesight back.
And that's exactly what she did. She prayed tahajjud every night until one night in a dream she saw Ibrahim (as) give her the good news that Imam Bukhari's eyesight had been restored. She ran to her son and when he awoke, he found himself with vision again.
Lessons for me: This mother didn't go into a state of helplessness after her young child lost his eyesight. Being a single mother, she didn't lose hope and become disheartened with the difficulty she would have to face with bringing up a son with a disability. She knew very well the power of dua. She knew the beauty that lies in praying tahajjud salah. She knew Allah comes down to the lowest heaven asking his servants to make dua to Him at this time. Her taqwa, her conviction in the Might of Allah is what led her to consistently pray. To pray tahajjud salah means you sacrifice your sleep. But she did it without fail. It wasn't a "sacrifice" on her behalf but a most needed task.
When we read about the life of Imam Bukhari or know what his contribution to Islamic history and education is, how can we not look back at the household he grew up in. The mother that raised him. The mother that made dua for him in the darkness of the night.
A widow, a single mother. But she had a wealth many of us fail to embrace. She devoted herself as a slave.
These women are our role models. These women are who we look up to. Not because we know how pretty or amazing they were in looks. But because in the face of tests, they remained close to Allah. With a history filled with women who brought up men like Imam Bukhari and others, how can we feel demotivated when it comes to our own children.
If we want good for our children, and see them grow up to be good slaves, we need to take the necessary steps to become a good slave too.
This reminder about this mother's dua came at such a perfect and apt time for me. A time when I've become extremely worried about my children. This reminded me that dua is no small thing.
