As humans we will often fall short, however we will find success when we rise, redirect, and refocus on the principles sent to us in a Book without flaw.

The irony of life is that every path you choose will contain its own challenges.
You may find it difficult to live by the principles of this book, but it is even harder not to.

The Challenge of Choosing a Path in Life

Minor day-to-day issues were never entirely eradicated, even from the household of the Prophet PBUH.This is simply the reality of life.This book seeks to address the overall principles that bring harmony to marriage and to guard against the most serious issues that threaten to destroy the marital bond.

Manage Your Expectations

Our lives will not be perfect, and human conduct will always be marred by shortcomings.So for the smaller niggles of life.. We must overlook such trifling annoyances and be patient in order to preserve the bigger picture.

View marriage as one part of a wide support network.No human relationship should be relied upon to fulfill your every single need. While your spouse will inshaAllah bring you much relief and solace, it is crucial to recognize that relying solely on one person to fulfill all of your needs can lead to unmet expectations, disappointment, and potential strain on the relationship itself.

Marriage Support Network

It is important to have a network.<ol><li>Friends can provide emotional support and a sense of belonging and companionship outside of the marital relationship.</li><li>Family relationships can provide a sense of heritage, tradition, and connection to one's roots.</li><li>Community relationships can provide a sense of purpose, shared values, and a sense of contributing to something larger than oneself.</li></ol>

The Importance of Having a Network

People have diverse needs and desires that extend beyond the scope of any single individual.We have emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions that require nurturing and fulfillment. By cultivating relationships with family, friends, and the wider community, we open ourselves up to a variety of experiences, perspectives, and a source of joy.

Nurturing Our Diverse Needs

Participating in a life partnership with your spouse carries an immediate practical benefit of providing you with a wholesome outlet for physical desire.In a world of hypersexualization, the simple act of enjoying intimacy with your spouse will protect you from countless external harms that exist in wider society.

The Benefits of a Life Partnership

You should seek to acquire a heart which thanks Allah, a tongue which remembers Allah, and a believing wife who will assist you with regard to your Hereafter.

<ol><li>Weakening sense of individual responsibility as people not held accountable for their actions.</li><li>Breakdown of the family structure contributed to loss of values and morals, resulting in a more self-indulgent focused society.</li><li>People seeking pleasures that became increasingly violent and immoral, leading to a decline in societal standards.</li><li>Excessive taxes and government control hindered economic growth and stifled individual freedoms, causing frustration and resentment.</li><li>Decline of religion meant the moral compass and values holding society together were weakened, leading to breakdown in social order.</li></ol>

Married Ever After

The Prophet PBUH cursed the one who takes a bribe, and also the one who offers it.

It is the sunnah (Prophet Muhammad PBUH way of life) that a man should accompany his guest up to the door of his home.

That which intoxicates in large amounts is also unlawful in small quantities.

Should I tell you about those whom the hellfire is forbidden to touch?It is forbidden to touch every approachable, easy going, soft spoken and gentle person.

Modesty and faith exist together, when one disappears, the other also disappears.

Shall I inform you of the principle action, it's pillars and peak of its loftiness in Islam?The principle action is belief in Islam, its pillars are daily prayers and the peak of its loftiness is jihad.

Whoever observes something wrong should change it with his hands. If he is unable to do so, then he should speak against it with his tongue. If he is unable to do even that, then he should at least resent it in his heart and this is the lowest level of faith.

Wealth is not in riches,But in contentment.

The Prophet SAW said, 'read Yasin for those who have passed away.'

He who looks after the needs of the widow and the poor is like a warrior fighting in the cause of Allah, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays throughout the night.

The believer is like a mirror to another believer, he removes his sufferings and also protects him in his absence.

Try to pass your mornings and evenings in a state where your heart is free of all ill feelings, jealousy and hatred for anyone,And remember that this is my Sunnah (way of life) and he who loves my Sunnah will be with me in Paradise.

Quotes | THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY

Our society is moving quickly and it's easy to get distracted by money and material possessions. As Muslims, we must remember our faith's teachings and strive for a healthy balance between wealth and purpose. This article explores the Islamic principles that guide our approach to financial well-being, so we can live a balanced life.

Striking a Balance between Faith and Finances

Drawing inspiration from the research paper titled "Psychology of Wealth: An Islamic Perspective on Personal Finance," published by the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research, we will delve deeper into Islamic perspectives on personal finance.

As human beings, we were designed to have an exceptional love for wealth. Allah informs us of this in the Qur’an, and the Prophet (PBUH) warns of the responsibilities of having an abundance of wealth and misusing it. In Islam, we believe in rizq, which is sustenance provided by Allah. This rizq is both a means for us to provide for ourselves and our families and also a test from Allah that can either bring us closer to Him or lead us astray.

Understanding wealth from an Islamic perspective

Muslims should view their wealth through the lens of Islamic teachings, focusing on benefiting others and spiritual growth. This encourages gratitude and humility, recognizing that all wealth belongs to Allah.It is important to have a balanced approach to wealth, avoiding being consumed by the need for material possessions. Ultimately, Allah provides for us and earning for the hereafter leads to contentment.

The Islamic View on Wealth

As Muslims, we strive to live our lives according to Islamic principles. This extends to our earning and spending habits. It is vital that what we earn and spend is permissible within the bounds of Islam. We are instructed to avoid haram sources of income, such as interest, gambling, and illicit trade. Instead, we are taught to engage in ethical and responsible consumption.

The Importance of Halal Earnings and Ethical Spending

Charity is important in the Islamic economic system, seen as a compulsory act of zakat, which is one out of five pillars. Not only does the receiver benefit, but also the giver. Giving with the right intention fosters empathy, compassion, and gratitude.
Muslims are encouraged to give sadaqah, in addition to zakat, with the understanding that it purifies and increases wealth. This act can also protect from negative consequences of wealth, like arrogance and materialism.

The Role of Charity

As Muslims, it is essential to invest our wealth in productive and sharia-compliant ways. Let's learn why investing is crucial, especially in today's world.
<ul>
 <li>Investing is buying assets that increase in value, not letting money sit in a bank account.</li>
 <li>Leaving money unused can cause its value to decrease over time due to inflation and zakat, resulting in a net loss of wealth.</li>
 <li>Sharia-compliant investing is encouraged as it aligns with Islamic beliefs and values.</li>
 <li>We should put our money to use and aim to at least maintain our wealth.</li>
</ul>

The Importance of Investing for Muslims

Islam emphasizes putting our wealth in halal investments to safeguard it. By increasing our wealth, we can better provide for our families and communities and donate more to charity, ultimately leading to investing for our akhirah (afterlife).

Halal Investments in Islam

Barakah, also known as divine blessings, is at the core of Islamic finance. It has the power to increase the productivity, efficiency, and value of our wealth.
To attract barakah into our financial lives, it is important for us, as Muslims, to seek out halal sources of income and spend our money wisely. By doing so, we can experience a more satisfying, fulfilling, and successful financial journey.

The Importance of Barakah in Islamic Finance

Barakah refers not only to the quantity of wealth but also to the quality and influence of that wealth. Barakah can appear in many forms, such as meeting one's needs with a modest income, being content with one's possessions, or seeing one's wealth positively affect others. The key to attracting barakah is to follow Islamic principles in all aspects of financial life, from income to spending and everything in between.

A scarcity mindset and poverty can affect a person's perspective on wealth, causing them to believe that there is not enough for everyone. This leads to a diminished financial well-being and poor financial decisions. The Qur’an describes scarcity and abundance as opposing sources that lead to immoral or moral financial behavior, respectively.

Abundance over scarcity

The Prophet (PBUH) advised making downward social comparisons to feel blessed and grateful for one's blessings and avoid the scarcity mindset that leads to stinginess. As Muslims, we are warned against looking to the wealthy as a reference point and reminded that their wealth is a test from Allah that should not be desired.

Islamic teachings on personal finance offer a comprehensive and balanced approach to wealth management that promotes both material success and spiritual growth. We are taught to understand wealth from an Islamic perspective, focus on halal income and ethical spending, prioritize philanthropy, pursue barakah, and balance material and spiritual aspirations. Wealth and healthy relationships can be built on faith.

Don’t Be Fooled: RECOGNIZE EVIL PEOPLE | 5 SIGNS | ISLAM

People let the emotions of fear and greed rule their lives.

The fear of ostracism causes people to conform to, and not question, commonly accepted opinions or popular trends, often to their financial detriment.

Acquire the type of assets you love, because you will take better care of them and enjoy learning about them

Understanding markets is the science of supply and demand. You need to know the technical aspects of the market, which are emotion driven, in addition to the fundamental or economic aspects of an investment.

We all have tremendous potential, we are all blessed with gifts. Yet the one thing that holds all of us back is some degree of self doubt.

The situation you fear most is the skill that you need to learn and conquer. And you may have to force yourself to do it, like going to the gym.. you'll be glad you did.

Fear of failure keeps too many people out of the game. Instead, use failure as inspiration to succeed.

Harness the deep seated emotional reasons you want to become rich. Make them strong. They will help you weather the obstacles along the road to wealth.

Although we have been successful in our careers, they have not turned out quite as we expected. We both have changed positions several times-for all the right reasons-but there are no pension plans vesting on our behalf. Our retirement funds are growing only through our individual contributions. Michael and I have a wonderful marriage with three great children. As I write this, two are in college and one is just beginning high school. We have spent a fortune making sure our children have received the best education available. One day in 1996, one of my children came home disillusioned with school. He was bored and tired of studying. “Why should I put time into studying subjects I will never use in real life?” he protested. Without thinking, I responded, “Because if you don't get good grades, you won't get into college.” “Regardless of whether I go to college,” he replied, “I'm going to be rich.”

The Power of Music Therapy in Medical Treatment

..Music includes:<ul><li>Instrumental music</li><li>The sound of singing</li><li>Adhan (call to prayer)</li><li>Quranic recitation</li><li>Sounds of nature, such as of birds singing and of water from a fountain pool.</li></ul>

<ul><li>What is music therapy? It's using music and its elements to help us physically, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.</li><li>Who can benefit from it? Anyone looking to optimize their quality of life in medical, educational, or everyday environments.</li></ul>

The Power of Music in Therapy

Music Therapy as a Complementary Treatment

For treating melancholia, Ibn Sina recommended listening to music and singing, besides ventilation, selected foods, bath therapy, massage with poultice, medication, evacuation, cupping, wrapping, and distracting patient with something pleasurable and soothing, such as bringing someone he/she likes.For lovesickness, Ibn Sina recommended treatment by listening to singing or music, besides evacuation, nutritious diet, bath therapy, and counselling.

The treatment methods recommended for melancholia, insomnia, and lovesickness clearly illustrate that music therapy was not the main (conventional) treatment. Music therapy was more of an adjunct treatment to complement the main treatment methods suggested, with the role of overcoming symptoms so that the patient is distracted, calmed down, and entertained.

The hospitals during the medieval era in Islamic civilization had a unique approach to treatment - music therapy. Some of these hospitals include:

<ul>
<li>Bimarastan Fez (Sidi Frej) in Morocco</li> 
<li>Bimarastan al-Mansuri in Cairo</li>
<li>Bimarastan al-Arghuni in Aleppo, Syria</li>
<li>Bimarastan Nur al-Din in Damascus</li>
<li>Kayseri Gevher Nesibeh Darussifas</li>
<li>Divrigi Ulu Mosque and Darussifas</li>
<li>Amasya Darussifas</li>
<li>Fatih Darussifas in Istanbul</li>
<li>Edirne Sultan Bayezid II Darussifas</li>
<li>Suleymaniye Sifahanesi</li>
<li>A hospital established by Ayse Hafsa Sultan</li>
</ul>

Hospitals that Used Music Therapy in Medieval Islamic Civilizati

Bimarastan Fez (Sidi Frej) in Morroco was built in 1286 AD by Sultan Yusuf ibn Ya’qub (Banu Marin) to treat patients with depression, using music therapy, herbs, and spices. It also served as a sanctuary for the mentally ill.

Bimarastan Fez (Sidi Frej) - A Historical Psychiatric Hospital

Ibn Batutah, who managed to visit this hospital on vacation in Egypt, also commented on its indescribable beauty. Hunke denoted this hospital to be the biggest and richest health institute ever built on this planet. This hospital was operated fully using endowment (waqf) funds.

As per Ibn Iyas, the hospital endowment had two conditions: 1) providing music every evening to uplift patients' spirits and 2) reciting the Qur'an in the domed hall. Musicians received a monthly salary while Qurra' were paid in wheat and birds.

Hospital Endowment: Music and Qur'anic Recitation

Ibn Sina’s (Avicenna) denotes that one of the most effective methods in medical treatment is listening to music, which clearly illustrates the position of music therapy in medical treatment. This chapter discusses four matters: (i) the concept of music therapy as medical treatment, (ii) the function of music therapy as a method of complementary treatment aimed more towards calming and relieving pain, but not as a total cure for the patient, (iii) the hospitals that applied music therapy as treatment, and (iv) the process of applying music therapy in the medical tradition of the Islamic civilisation. Music here includes instrumental music, the sound of singing, adhan (call to prayer), Quranic recitation, as well as sounds of nature, such as of birds singing and of water from a fountain pool. Among the hospitals that applied such therapy was Bimarastan Fez in Morroco, Bimarastan al-Mansuri at Cairo, Egypt, Bimarastan al-Arghuni at Allepo, Syria, Bimarastan Nur al-Din at Damascus City, and Suleymaniye Sifahanesi.
