In urdu, we don't say love.

We say, 'عشق'. To fall into a bottomless ocean of feelings no one has ever explained because it's overwhelmingly heavy in our bones & our bodies can't embody its meaning.

"You, my dear have possessed me & my heart knows no name other than yours".

Ever looked at someone who you loved so much and witnessed a loss of spark? Nothing feels the same anymore. And all of a sudden, it feels like there was no love— ever. It was just an initial spark that held us together like a candle in a darkroom, and when that burns out, where’s even the light?

This concept of what they call a “honeymoon phase” in a marriage- can last a year, two or maybe fifteen. What can be that secret ingredient to keep your candle burning brighter forever? I wish I knew, so that I can tell you. But this post isn’t about that. When the spark goes off, moving on from one relationship to another, can be an easy solution to a bystander. Well, given that islam doesn’t approve it for obvious reasons, what can we possibly do to keep this candle lit? As I told you before, I don’t know if there’s a secret ingredient cause if you ask any happy couple what makes their marriage so perfect they’ll smile with a shrug and say.. “it just is”. But for unmarried girls and boys who look at marriage at a distance, expects perfection perhaps because we are often enamored by the idea of marriage than marriage itself. Cause marriage calls for real effort.

In case if you are in a marriage past that phase, and you’re struggling to find a connection with your spouse, detesting the little differences, or even, have gone for a lifeline to get rid of the place you are stuck in.. it’s normal, but what’s important is you remain to do the right thing. Marriage is a union, made compulsory by Allah for a sound reason, it’s just not about filling the void of another person and hyping up the other person, it’s not always about a spark that flickers on and off— mostly what people think is love in honeymoon phase. Love is what remains after that. Love is what holds two people together despite a high tide. Its not easy, It’s tough.. but all halal things in life are. Which makes the whole concept so meritorious.

Before reaching this space, what’s least spoken about is how precious is it that everyone has an own identity. Oftentimes, we confuse love with having similar interests. But individuality isn’t a crime. Everyone is entitled to their own individuality. When it reaches a point where love is misunderstood for enmeshment is one of the junctions where love turns toxic. That’s where they normalize codependency, or even abuse.

Relatively, before understanding or trying to understand another person, it’s so very important to understand oneself. Our needs, wants, likes, dislikes, goals, interests, values, what’s important to you, what’s not.. knowing and discovering oneself is so important. And definitely, when I say likes and dislikes, it’s isn’t about your favorite TV show or genre of books you like to read, think deeper, you’re more than what you think you are. Having said that, I’m not saying that your goals and interests are going to remain the same for years forward, of course they’re going to change, and when it does, there may be a lapse between you and your partner, because then, one person remains in the square size you two once were and the other has grown a bit or lot more than that. That’s when you need to communicate, openly. Cause growth is inevitable, and it is not your fault. If you have grown from your old ideologies, you owe your partner a conversation about it, transparently. For the sake of Allah, for the sake of your union, for the sake of love. But if you don’t know what you want and are not willing to be vocal about it, that’s when questionable problems arise.

It’s mostly about allowing space to celebrate both the individuals in a relationship. Discovering yourself, your passions and goals while encouraging the other person to look for theirs while not giving up on your bond. Your pursuit of happiness or passion should never pull you away from the other person. It’s about allowing the other person to grow, cause mostly growth sounds scary for the other person, especially when they’re comfortable in a relationship/ marriage being certain way. But true love should never take you away from growth. True love should never butcher passions. And true love should never control you or try to smother your dreams and passions, or lower your voice or be afraid that you will become too big, or become bigger than them cause that’s simply intimidation. And true love is a two way street, so it applies the same when the other person is in the hot seat as well.

The container of your marriage should always be bigger than the differences you may hold. When the container that holds your relationship, holds only smallness, then when you, or the other person grows, the container starts to crack, slowly. If your marriage is built upon tenants of growth, individuations, adventure, calmness and freedom, that’s when both of you can handle even the worst kinds of storms that hit you through and through and you both can be still in the same page.

Couples often fall into a pattern, a dance. And if you take one step still, and understand the grounds and motif of your marriage - which is largely, love for the sake of Allah (swt) and fulfilling His duties, thus forgiving and fixing for His sake. And secondly, again, love: loving what and who you are given. Then, take one step forward, consciously to break yourself off the pattern and not off the relationship. Taking yourself from the blame game— Just one little effort on your growth to break yourself from a toxic cycle, just one change you make to differentiate from that same dance, you may see yourself changing the communication patterns, your levels of showing up, depth of your intimacy and bring yourself and your relationship to an alignment.

Marriage isn’t easy, marriage isn’t only about the hype it carries, marriage is about a bond of lifetime which carries and tolerates the heaviest burdens with ease. Marriage shoulders responsibilities, sacrifices, fairness, courtesy and rights. Marriage brings tolerance and contentment. Lots and lots of patience. Marriage brings out virtues in you that you never thought you had. Marriage is a trail mix of comfort and discomfort. Life happens, but in marriage, love holds us up.

HOW DO YOU GET YOUR KIDS TO LOVE THE SALAH?

The first thing is to HAVE THEM LOVE YOU!

Learn this life lesson: tarbiyah is founded upon relationship.

Tarbiyah is the raising up and education of a child such that she can reach her full potential as a human and a Muslim. It is different than ta’leem, which refers to fact-based education.

We often confuse the two, giving our children ta’leem when they need tarbiyah.

Ta’leem is teaching our children the how-to of the prayer. Memorizing the duas, learning the positions.

Tarbiyah is the cuddling after the prayer when we ask each other, “What did you ask for in sajdah?” Ta’leem is memorizing ahadeeth and verses.

Tarbiyah is the dinner-table banter where we talk current events and other issues on our mind.

Ta’leem is studying fiqh.

Tarbiyah is the loving conversation we have about an incident that happened at school.

Ta’leem is studying seerah by memorizing dates and events or preparing for a quiz bowl.

Tarbiyah is snuggling in bed and telling stories of brave heroes of the past.

What a child will remember are the memories she has cuddling on the couch, laughing at stories, and warmly basking in the glow of a parent’s attention and love.

This relationship is what builds the person up, not the facts and pieces of knowledge imparted.

This does not mean we do not teach facts and knowledge! You need to discern the difference between the two themes of ta’leem and tarbiyah though, so that you give adequate time to each.

Most importantly, you must understand that you, dear parents, are indispensable. You CANNOT outsource tarbiyah. You can send your child to classes and masjid programs for ta’leem but this can never replace tarbiyah.

The cuddling on the couch, the lively discussions around the table, the one-on-one chats before bed….these are the things that only a parent can do. And these are the things that build the foundation of the Islamic akhlaq and adab (morals and manners).

Smart Goals. 💐 Something I have struggled with all my life is setting goals and reaching them. So, when I am not able to accomplish all that I have taken on my "to do" list, I am left with internal feelings of failure. After speaking to my therapist recently, a nail hit the spot when she mentioned "Smart Goals" I mean I am a Psychology Student I should know this 💩😂 My goal and homework for this week is to SET SMART GOALS. SO I DON'T BURN OUT AND BECOME FRUSTRATED WITH MYSELF. She also told me to practice it with mindfulness and intention. Alot of what she said really aligned with my knowledge from Atomic Habits too. (I'm still reading it 🤦) ➡️ So What Is Smart Goals? (swipe to see the pictures) setting goals is easy but knowing the "How" is important too 🎯 specific 🎯 Measurable 🎯 Achievable 🎯 Relevant 🎯 Timely ♥️♥️Have you heard of Smart Goals? Do you put yourself up for alot of goals and reach burnout or frustration when not accomplished?🆗 Is there a Smart Goals you can set this week? What would it be? ♥️♥️ . . . . . #goalsetting2021 #smartgoal #therapists #cbttherapy #mindfulnesspractices #muslimhome #muslimahreminder (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVy1j9esvxS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Blessed Sunnah:

The first thing the parents especially mums should be teaching their kids is TAWHEED.

These days people focus on teaching their kids ABCs, 123, animal names, nursery rhymes etc but they FAIL to teach them that which will save them from Hell fire - Tawheed.

Umm Sulaim (radiallaahu ‘anha) would teach her son Anas (radiallaahu 'anhu), saying: “Say: 'Laa illaaha il Allaah (none has the right to be worshipped in truth except Allaah).’ Say: 'Ash-hadu anna Muhammad Rasul-ullaah (I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah).’” This was BEFORE the age of weaning [Siyar A'laam an-Nubalaa (2/305)

So u should be teaching Tawheed even before the age of TWO .

Some tips on how u can Tawheed to ur toddler age & above:

1. Repeat to them the Kalimah La ilaha il Allah Muhammad ur Rasool Allah right from the day they are born all the time until they can pronounce it (doesnt matter if they dont pronounce it correctly as toddlers have limited speech skills)

2. Teach them Tawheed ar Ruboobiyyah - teach them that Allah is our Creator, the Only One. Tell them Allah Subhaana wa ta'aala created everything. Ask them who created you? Ur mum ,dad? Siblings? the animlas? Teach its Allah Subhaana wa ta'aala who created everything.

When they look at the Sun or stars tell them its Allah who Created everything. Make them focus on big & small creations. Even the ant & apple, tell them Allah created it. This makes them realise that EVERYTHING is created by Allah.

3. Teach them Tawheed al Uloohiyyah - teach kids that we worship only Allah Subhaana wa ta'aala we only ask Him for help. When u pray Salaah & kids imitate to u teach them we are praying only to Allah. When ur child needs something for example if a toddler is crying for a new toy teach them to make dua & ask Allah Subhaana wa ta'aala even for the smallest things. If they want a lolly even for that teach them to ask Allah.

4. Teach ur child Tawakkal to rely upon Allah for everything - when ur chilld is scared or worried them dont tell them “Im here or ur dads here dont worry’ teach them Allah is with u. He is the Best Protector. He will look after u.

This will teach ur child to rely upon Allah rather than you or any other human being. Even if u die or ur sick & ur child is lonely, they will learn to rely on Allah and trust Him. When ur child is worried tell them Allah will make things better. When ur child is sick teach them to turn to Allah to make dua to him & ask Him for shifa.

5. Teach them Tawheed al Asma wa Sifaat- teach ur kids Names & Attributes of Allah Subhaana wa ta'aala from an early age. Ask them where is Allah,tell them Allah is Up- the Most High, above all Heavens.

When a child is naughty tell them Allah is Watching them that He sees all. Always remind that even if ur not there Allah is with them in His Knowledge. If they throw a tantrum or become angry tell them that Allah Hears them. If ur child is being impatient tell them Allah loves those who are patient. When u take ur child to the beach or when they see rainbow tell them Allah is the Creator , He designed everything.

Remember the happiest people are the people of Tawheed so if u want ur child to be content & happy both in dunya and akhirah teach them Tawheed right from day one .
