This is part of the project: Cleaning Up Our Own Backyard, One Episode At A Time.

We collect things that bother us as Muslims, and try to fix them.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ
الرعد 11

Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.
Al-Ra’ad 13:11

Here is episode #1 (remix): Harsh Treatments

Please don’t give people this Eid gift!

فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمْ وَلَوْ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لاَنفَضُّواْ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ
سورة آل عمران 159

So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you.
Aal-Emran 3:159

Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed us with the best lifestyle. Since it’s the best, it comes with a price. So, sometimes it’s challenging to practice Halal lifestyle at work, whether it’s making sure your job related activities are Halal or simply practicing your duties towards Allah at work (Salah, Hijab, beard, Jumaah/Eid, etc.) But, in-sha-Allah, as you strive to live Halal, Allah will make it easy and Allah is the provider.

So here is a new Web site that serves seekers of Halal work. Check it out WorkHalal.com

I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me. (56) I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me. (57) Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might. (58) [Adh-Dhariyat Chapter 51]

Key words: Salat, Salah, Islam, Halal work, Riba, income, hijab, career, Muslim, living halal, halal living, job, discrimination, EEO

First of all, even if a product is halal, it doesn’t mean it’s healthy.

Keeping yourself hydrated is essential for your health, especially in Ramadan.

So here are some tips for you:

1-Drink water gradually throughout the night (keep a bottle of water by your bed, in your car, and take one to the masjid.)

2-Avoid drinking a big amount of water in a short time (it may overload your kidney also distract you during Taraweeh or while sleeping).

3-Avoid salty, fried, and baked food (e.g. crakers/cereals)

4-Avoid resturant food (they usually add MSG)

5-Eat food that contain a lot of water, such as soup, oatmeal, and “watery” fruits.
