In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

As-salamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahe wa Barakatahu

The Islamic New Year has begun and it is called Muharram.

Muharram (Arabic: محرم) is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is
one of the four months of the year in which fighting is prohibited. Since
the Islamic calendar is lunar, Muharram moves from year to year
when compared with the Gregorian calendar. Muharram is so called
because it was unlawful to fight during this month;
the word is derived from the word 'haram' meaning forbidden. It is held to
be the most sacred of all the months,
excluding Ramadan. Some Muslims fast during these days. The tenth day
of Muharram is called Yaumu-l 'Ashurah, meaning, 'the tenth day', and it
is a day of voluntary fasting. Fasting differs among the Muslim groupings;
mainstream Shia Muslims stop eating and drinking during sunlight hours
and do not eat until the evening.
Sunni Muslims also fast during Muharram and on either the ninth or the
eleventh day, the choice of which additional day being at the discretion
of the individual.

Islamic laws

Q & A on Adoption

Question: Are we allowed to adopt children and consider them as

our own children?

Answer: It is permissible for a person to adopt a child, but the

child is not considered his son or daughter; the child remains a stranger

(non-mahram) to him or his wife and he or she does not inherit the

person who has adopted him or her.

Question: What is the stance of Islam in regards to adopting children and

if a child is with the family from his or her early days and develops a bond,

do the laws of Mahram and Non-Mahram still have to be observed?

Answer: Adoption in the sense of claiming a child as your own son or

daughter and getting an ID card for him or her in your name is not

permissible. However, there is no Ishkaal (objection) in taking care of a

child, raising him or her and showing love and care which is rather good

but the child's lineage has to be preserved. In addition, developing a bond

does not cause Mahramiyat.

Story.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

May I never get too busy in my own Affairs!

It was a bitter, cold evening. The old man's beard was

glazed by winter's frost while he waited for a ride

across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body

became numb and stiff from the frigid north wind. He

heard the faint, steady rhythm of approaching hooves

galloping along the frozen path.

Anxiously, he watched as several horsemen rounded the

bend. He let the first one pass by without an effort

to get his attention. Then another passed by... and

another. Finally, the last rider neared the spot where

the old man sat like a snow statue.

As this one drew near, the old man caught the rider's

eye and said, "Sir, would you mind giving an old man a

ride to the other side? There doesn't appear to be a

passageway by foot."

Reining his horse, the rider replied, "Sure thing. Hop

aboard." Seeing the old man was unable to lift his

half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman dismounted

and helped the old man onto the horse. The horseman took

the old man not just across the river, but to his

destination, which was just a few miles away.

As they neared the tiny but cozy cottage, the horseman's

Curiosity caused him to inquire, "Sir, I notice that you

let several other riders pass by without making an effort

to secure a ride. Then I came up and you immediately asked

me for a ride. I'm curious why, on such a bitter winter

night; you would wait and ask the last rider. What if I

had refused and left you there?"

The old man lowered himself slowly down from the horse,

looked the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, "I've

been around here for some time. I reckon I know people

pretty good."

The old-timer continued, "I looked into the eyes of the

other riders and immediately saw there was no concern for

my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them

for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, kindness and

compassion were evident. I knew, then and there, that your

gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me

assistance in my time of need."

Those heart warming comments touched the horseman deeply.

"I'm most grateful for what you have said," he told the

old man. "May I never get too busy in my own affairs that

I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness

and compassion."

 Ya Allah, Make me among those about whom the Holy Quran

has said: "And they give them preference over their own

selves even though they are in need". (Hashr 59:9)
