HALEEM CRAZE!!!
The scene of Muslims queuing up for their traditional ration of Haleem at Masajid and other distribution points during Ramadaan has become all too familiar within the Muslim community.
While this maybe a commendable incentive on the path of the donors, the Jamiat has been alerted to some startling information. It has been reportedly learnt that the monies donated towards certain Haleem schemes range from Zakaat, Fidya, Fitrah to even Kaffarah. Benefit from these monies are exclusively reserved for the poor. It is therefore imperative that those responsible for organising such distribution ensure that these monies are not collected or used in preparation of the Haleem which is enjoyed by rich and poor alike.
If these monies ought to be used then it is incumbent on the distributors to inform Muslims that such food is reserved exclusively for the poor. It will not be permissible for the wealthy to partake.
Based on the reports received we thus suggest the following: Those wanting to partake from the Haleem distribution should enquire what funds are utilised in its preparation.The distribution should be just and systematic and not favourable to an elite few. Donors should ensure they do not donate their Zakaah Fitrah etc in this avenue.Organisers should ensure the money collected is not Zakaah , Fitrah, Fidya etc.
May Allah Ta''ala grant us the Taufeeq (ability) to consume pure and halaal.

Kindness Towards Women
Ramadhaan-Al-Kareem Mubarak
May ALLAH (swt) shower His mercies on the fasting person. Ameen.
The Quraan Majeed commands: "Deal with women correctly & with kindness. If, then, you dislike them, then it is possible that you dislike something while ALLAH has
created abundance of goodness in it"(Surah Nisa'a Aya'ah 19)
This Qura'anic Aya'ah as well as other verses & Ahadith define man's role as the ruler of the wife. Arrogance & harshness have no role in a husband's discharge of his duties in his capacity as the ruler. The Qura'an compulsorily imposes on him justice & kindness. In fact the kindness & toleration which the husband has to show, should accommodate the petty indiscretions of the wife. Some husbands, unable to tolerate the indiscretions of their wives, react harshly. In a fit or temper they do not hesitate to manhandle, mishandle & cruelly assault their wives. It is essential that husbands understand that their display of violence on their wives is not an act of heroism. On the contrary, they are disgracefully exhibiting their cowardice. There is absolutely no honour in silencing a wife by means of physical or emotional abuse.
Rasulullah (S.A.W) said: "The Mu'min with the most perfect Imaan is one who has the best character & who is the kindest to his wife."
A requisite for the perfection of Imaan is kindness to one's wife. It is abundantly clear from the Ahadith of Rasulullah (S.A.W) that kindness to the wife is an independent act of virtue. Inshallah, much of his sins will be forgiven by virtue of his kindness towards his wife.
Rasulullah (S.A.W) speaks glowingly of the kind-hearted husband. He said: "The best among you are those among you who are the best to their wives."
Thus, a man's nobility is linked to his kind treatment of his wife.
Kindness towards the wife is an act of Thawaab (reward) even to the extent of placing a morsel of food in her mouth. Overlooking her faults, assisting in home duties, giving her presents,seeing to her needs in general, refraining from imposing unnecessary demands & duties on her & generally showing her a happy & cheerful disposition are all meritorious acts of reward exhorted by Islam.
Undoubtedly, some traits & attributes in women are detestable to men.
But, the Qura'an Hakeem says that ALLAH TA'ALA has created much good in her. The Qura'an Majeed exhorts the husband to overlook her detestable attributes & look rather at the abundance of good which ALLAH TA'ALA has created in her.
Rasulullah (S.A.W) instructed the husband: The Mu'min (husband) should not harbour enmity for his wife. If he dislikes something in her, then surely, he will be pleased with another quality in her.(Muslim)
