    Hello, please recite these ahadith and share them with your brothers and sisters. Paste them on your wall and memorize them:

    The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their husbands who were unbelievers. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur’anic verse: (Sura 4:24) “And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.” (Muslim 3433)

    “We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid-conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter” (Sahih Muslim 3371)

    Love it. I’ve been a fan of Susan’s since Salaam Cafe. Saw her at the supermarket once and wanted to go up and tell her I think she’s awesome but I didn’t want to be creepy. Susan, you’re awesome. :)

      Same here, I saw her last year and she is stunning in person, so gorgeous. Also wanted to go up and say I really admire her but didn’t want to bother her, I then regretted not saying something!
