Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from knowingly associating partners with You in any way, and I seek Your forgiveness for that which I do not know. Ameen.
The school holiday season is coming. There are parents who has started thinking about interesting and meaningful plans for their children. However,
it is not just about how to fill the time but also to take into account the blessings of time spent with children.
Vacation time is precious for parents to spend time with their children, especially those who are already in school.
Long holiday periods, such as the current end-of-year school holidays, are golden opportunities. We need to be wise in arranging the time and try to hold a
meeting. Usually this needs to be planned in advance. This can add affection. When there is a timespend, love will increase, when there is love, then unity will be strong.
However, conflict in the family is not something that can be completely avoided. Conflict is an acid in family life. Communication is very important when there is a conflict.
After communicating and
advising, give space to the individual involved to think calmly. Tolerance will only be realized when a person is in a calm state.
Prayers and night prayers are a cure for wounds and sorrows because they are able to give spiritual strength that can awaken the spirit to continue life.
However, there are times when parents are too focused on their own family, the relationships that have been
built over the years with extended family members may be neglected.
Therefore, in order to build a strong foundation in forming a successful family, parents also need to set a good example in terms of their relationship with their own parents and siblings.
Finding time to spend with parents and siblings becomes more difficult after having a family of your own, but this can be dealt with if time is
managed wisely.
Even if you already have your own family, take the time to meet your siblings to increase your love and strengthen the bond of unity.
Wallahu a'lam.

Friday Evening - You go to a masjid wanting to do your Friday prayers. After the Khatib ends his Khutbah; everyone proceeds to stand up, fill up the gaps and align themselves to the proper Saf. - You realise that some of our brothers put their legs close, while some put their shoulders together.
Then as the Solat commences and ends, you come to a sudden realisation and unknowingly take notice of some things;
- Why do some place
their toes on the ground when they sit down during solat and others don't?
- Why do some people move their fingers while takhiyyat akhir, while some don't?

Death is a very painful and emotional time, yet one that may be filled with hope and mercy.
Muslims believe that death
is a departure from the life of this world, but not the end of a person's existence. Rather, eternal life is to come, and we pray for Allah's mercy to be with the departed, in hopes that they may find peace and happiness in the next to come.
That is for the person who will face death. But how about the
family or relatives?
It's very easy to say stay calm and be strong but without the proper knowledge and guidance many times that will not be the case. In some instances, family members break down and make irrational decisions which may cause more problems.
If this situation arises in your family, would you know what to do?
This course will cover the basics of the different cases/situations that will arise in such situations.
This is a 2-day course, which consists of theory and practical.
