The Birth of a Child It is generally found that people celebrate on the birth of a boy and show dissatisfaction when a girl is born. Islam disapproves of this kind of behaviour.

Aqeeqah and Circumcision It is Sunnat to make Aqeeqah on the 7th day after the birth of a child, but if this is not possible, it should be done on the 15th or 21st day. It is required to make Aqeeqah of two sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl.

The Upbringing of Children A child should be weaned off breast milk at the age of two. When the child is learning to speak, first teach him or her to say the name of Allah and teach the child Kalima Tayyibah at a later stage.

Islamic Attire In many professions, it is required that a person dresses in a certain manner or has to wear a uniform to identify his profession. If these rules are not followed, then one is dismissed. Similarly, in Islam, different codes of dressing have been set aside for Muslims so that they can be recognized among the Kufaars. If this dress code is not followed, then we deserve to be punished as well.

Funerals Death can come to anyone at anytime and at any place. Therefore, it is very important for every Muslim to know the rules and procedures regarding Ghusal, Kaffan and the burial. To talk of worldly matters in the funeral house is wrong and people should rather engage themselves in Tilaawat (recitation) of the Holy Quran, Zikr and the recitation of Yaseen Shareef.

Significant Days in Islam MUHARRAM:The month of Muharram is a very auspicious month especially the Day of Ashura, which is on the 10th of Muharram .

The Importance of Suitable Occupations Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said that there will come a time when nothing else besides your money will be of help. Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has said that Halaal earning is Fardh after Fardh, meaning after Namaaz and Roza a Halaal profession is Fardh.

Weddings The qualities that one should look for in a marriage partner are piety and God-fearing. Neither the boy nor the girl should be forced into a marriage. The bride’s mother’s consent is just as important.
