Abdul Hakim Murad: Contentions 12

Abdul Hakim Murad's new contentions are out. My favourites from this round of contentions....:
7. Is the Beast of Divorce coming? Husbands: respect her wants. Wives: respect his dignity.

15. The longer you wait to claim or forgo your rights, the longer you will wait for friendship.

18. Self-control makes you a fortress; self-indulgence makes you an animal, either a riding-beast or a target.

27. A busy life makes the Prayer harder; but the Prayer makes a busy life easier.

59. Dhikr and electricity are deadly rivals.

60. The wife’s vulnerability is not the husband’s strength.

61. You do not rise to Him. He does not descend to you. Rather, what you see, He may unveil as His alone.

63. Love learning, since learning leads to action.

64. Fiqh is the joyful focussing on the moment.

83. A politician deals with symptoms, a leader deals with causes.

84. Expect only a little. If you impose everything on everyone, you will drive everyone away from everything.

Salaam,

His contentions are always so thought-provoking!

One of my favorites is: "Converts: we must jump the gap without losing our clothes."

Warmly,
Baraka
