Ask nosy questions about peoples' personal lives

Everyone experiences disappointments and struggles in life.

Asking a divorced sister, "Why did you get divorced?" Asking an unmarried sister, "When are you getting married?" Asking a brother, "Where did you get the money to buy your car?" Before asking such nosy questions remember that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, "Part of the perfection of someone Islam is his leaving alone that which does not concern him."  [Narrated: Abu Huraira. Hadith hasan - Recorded by Tirmidhi]   Hassan bin Sinan* , once saw a house & asked a simple question, "When was this house built?" But he straightaway realized that he has asked a simple question and regretted of something which does not concern him. Subhan'Allah (in Arabic define for 'Allah is Perfect

Intelligence V.S Wisdom

Photo by  Priscilla Du Preez  on  Unsplash These are profound distinctions between intelligence and wisdom!  (but both are needed! 😉) 1. Intelligence leads to arguments.     Wisdom leads to settlements. 2. Intelligence is power of will.     Wisdom is power OVER  will. 3. Intelligence is heat, it burns.     Wisdom is warmth, it comforts. 4. Intelligence is pursuit of knowledge, it tires the seeker.     Wisdom is pursuit of truth, it inspires the seeker. 5. Intelligence is holding on.     Wisdom is letting go. 6. Intelligence leads you.     Wisdom guides you. 7. An intelligent man thinks he knows everything.     A wise man knows that there is still something to learn. 8. An intelligent man always tries to prove his point.     A wise man knows there really is no point. 9. An intelligent man freely gives unsolicited advice.     A wise man keeps his counsel until all options are considered. 10. An intelligent man understands what is being said.

I longed to frequent fasting... yet my health condition won't allow me to do it. I longed for night devotion "Qiya
