Thus, not everyone lives the same story. Some are tested with solitude due to a lack of suitable marriage opportunities, while others may not have had the chance to get married because of their bad environment. There are those who received marriage proposals, yet none aligned with their aspirations, where compromises on faith and principles were demanded. Some may have married, only to find no peace or security in their union, leading to divorce. The reasons for continuing life without marriage are many.

It isn’t unusual to describe “good treatment and affection” as one of the most significant and crucial reasons for the stability of homes. This characteristic is adorned by the faithful and wise woman, who earns reward and elevation in both this world and the Hereafter. This beautiful trait is a remedy for most family issues and serves as a strong safeguard against the collapse of familial structures. Therefore, the early generations paid great attention to it, to the extent that it was one of the first things a girl learned before marriage.

This verse is an independent proof of the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ — namely, the references to him in previous scriptures, with detailed descriptions that no human, after such a long time, could have contrived to fit himself into just to claim, “I am the one described.”

All praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, seek His help, and ask for His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils within ourselves and from our wrong deeds. Whomever Allah guides, none can mislead; and whomever He allows to go astray, none can guide.

Behind the cheerful façade of celebration and gift-giving on December 24 lies a deeply contested historical and theological reality. The celebration of the birth of Christ—peace be upon him—on this date is not merely a calendrical disagreement; rather, it stands as a stark example of the extent to which Christianity has drifted into textual manipulation, submission to pagan influences, and separation from its original essence. This raises profound questions about the internal coherence and consistency of the religion as it exists today.

In a world where events accelerate and crowd upon one another, and where the Muslim lives the bitterness of weakness and blatant collective assault (the rallying of nations against him), we arrive at the end of another Gregorian year. A painful scene repeats itself—documenting an era of weakness and heavy subjugation—where stadiums compete to capture attention, and people rush toward the celebrations of disbelievers. One stands before a scene of confusion and loss, distancing him from the reality of his identity and the dignity of his faith. One witnesses crowds gathering around trivial matters and misleading temptations—football portrayed as a virtue and a field of excellence, and festivals of disbelief and shirk treated lightly, while those who warn against being drawn into them are criticized and opposed.

If a servant were described a black, round celestial body, great in size, in which light appears like a glowing thread, then increases every night until its light becomes complete, becoming the brightest, most beautiful, and most perfect, then gradually decreases until it returns to its original state, this would enable the knowledge of months and years, the calculation of the world’s durations—from the times of Hajj, prayers, rental periods, debts, and transactions upon which worldly and religious interests depend. Indeed, the interests of this world and the religion are linked to the lunar phases.

Ramadan in the life of the Prophet ﷺ was not merely a month passing on the calendar; it was a complete spiritual school in which the meanings of sincere servitude were manifested. It reflected a remarkable balance between worship and mercy, between fulfilling the rights of Allah and fulfilling the rights of family and people. Whoever reflects on just one day of his ﷺ life in Ramadan realizes that this month was for him a season of spiritual elevation, purification of the soul, and refinement of the heart.

Friday is a festival for Muslims. Abu Dawud narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Two ‘Eids have coincided on this day of yours; whoever wishes, it suffices him in place of Jumu‘ah, but we will still perform it.” (Authentic hadith – Sahih Abi Dawud, Al-Albani, no. 948).
