So my friends, Muslims have their own celebrations but because our education is not ours anymore, our media is not ours and as a result of the environments of which our children are now becoming a part, their thinking is not theirs any longer, and parents too do not give them that atmosphere at homes where their roots of Emaan would have strengthened, they would acquire a sense of religious honour and they would be able to discern as to what are our traditions, what really are our festivals, and what are our celebrations.  Read more...

Moreover, the sign of Allah being there in our lives is that come what may, first and foremost the attention goes onto Him alone. Like a child who gets hurts while playing round the avenue and cries out for his mother (although his mother is nowhere near him at the spot). But this is because it is subscribed there in his heart that my safe haven is my mother. Likewise, a Momin too immediately calls out onto Allah, goes in Sajdah, rings the call and makes a connection. That is also what the customs of our predecessors portray that where they heard lightening and thunder strike, they used to assemble in the masjids.

1. When a boy or girl is born to a person, it is
   preferable to name the child on the seventh day and to make aqeeqah. By making
   aqeeqah, the child is safeguarded from all types of dangers and
   calamities.

2. The method of aqeeqah is that if a boy is born, two
   goats or two sheep should be slaughtered. If a girl is born, one goat or one
   sheep should be slaughtered. Alternatively, if one wishes to take a share in a
   bull that is being slaughtered for qurbâni, then two shares should be taken for
   a boy and one share for a girl. Furthermore, the child’s head should be shaved,
   the hair should be weighed, and gold or silver equal to the weight of the hair
   should be given in charity. If one wishes, saffron could be applied to the
   child’s head.
