The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Indeed, Allah, the angels, the denizens of the heavens and the earth, the ants in their burrows, and the fish in the sea pray for blessings to come upon those who teach good to people.”

“If one completes and perfects Wudu’ and then says: ‘I testify that there is no god but Allah, the One Who has no partner, and that Muhammad (PBUH) is His slave and Messenger’, the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him and he may enter through any gate he wishes.”

This is a digusting disease that plagues some of the Muslim communities from th sub-continent. May Allah cure our hearts from such diseases and allow us to be eternally grateful to him for blessing us with children whether they be male or female. Just imagine a world without your mother, sister, wife, daughter and you will clearly see the need for women in our lives.
The Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:
“Five things are included in the fitra: trimming the moustache, cutting the nails, shaving the public hair, plucking the armpits, and using the siwak (arak stick for cleaning the teeth).”

The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“The believing slave does wudu and as he rinses his mouth the wrong actions leave it. As he cleans his nose the wrong actions leave it. As he washes his face, the wrong actions leave it, even from underneath his eyelashes. As he washes his hands the wrong actions leave them, even from underneath his fingernails. As he wipes his head the wrong actions leave it, even from his ears. And as he washes his feet the wrong actions leave them, even from underneath the toenails of both his feet.” He added, “Then his walking to the mosque and his prayer are an extra reward for him.”

I enjoyed reading this so had to share it. As a father of a 10 month old I can relate to the cartoon in that I think I practice attachment parenting to an extent. However, I was blissfully unaware of the stigma attached to it.
Naturally, many of us practice attachment parenting without even knowing what it is. According to about.com ,”The goal of attachment parenting is to raise children who can form healthy, emotional connections with other people throughout their life. Attachment parents believe this must begin by forming a respectful, compassionate connection between parent and child.” Sounds good, right? Well unfortunately, there is a stigma associated with the common practices of parents such as breastfeeding, baby-wearing, co-sleeping and even simply holding your child. For some reason, responding to your babies hunger cues and keeping him close to your heart in a sling is seen as disgraceful. When I came across the image to the right, I laughed because it is so true. Even if you only practice one aspect of attachment parenting, like breastfeeding, you experience negative feedback from other people.
