My family and I were walking to the Masjid for our daily classes and outside was a crowd of people mainly children.I wondering what was taking place. Then I hear moo-moo it’s a cow! Now normally coming from America you only see cats and dogs on the street. Most animals such as cows & sheep are placed at a farm. If there is other animals you would be interested in seeing you would visit your local Zoo. Anyhow my kids were excited because they had never witness a big beautiful brown cow up close. Mash Allah! They just became use to seeing a flock of sheep and lamb eating and drinking. Well All I could think of is Allah is the Creator of everything and then a steak wouldn’t be bad either.All this is to say that it’s a nitmah to eat everything that is Halal and not worry if the animal is slaughtered in the name of other than your Lord. Or if it’s being treated cruel in anyway. Because, this is what Allah forbids in Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:3)
Needless to say the cow was slaughtered in a manner which was Halal . There were no other animals around to instill fear in. The cow itself was calm and I believe had no clue of what was going to take place. So, the next time you are in the market … stop to think where your meat came from and how was it handled. It would be best to take the extra trip to the Halal market and eat what is correct.

Accompanying the righteous (from the Salaf)
One of them said; accompanying the righteous people gives rise to the righteousness in the heart.
Ahmad ibn Harb (raheemullah) said; “There is nothing more beneficial to a Muslim’s heart than to mix with the righteous and to watch their actions, while nothing is more harmful to the heart than mixing with the sinners and watching their actions.

A Ramadan Question
Question: Are there any supporting hadith for breaking the fast with dates or water? If not, then a person who breaks their fast with dates will not receive a greater reward than the one who uses other than dates. Afeeduna barakAllaahu feekum.
Answer: The hadith that is mentioned about breaking the fast with dates or water is the hadith of ‘Aishah. She said thatthe Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to break fast with rutab – fresh dates and if he didn’t find rutabaat then he broke his fast on tamaraat which is ripe dates and if he didn’t find rutab or tamr then he took some water and then went for prayer.[19] And there is a hadith where the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم mentioned about dates that “it is the best food that a person eats”[20] and he صلى الله عليه وسلم said about Suhoor (morning meal before fasting):
نعم سحور المؤمن التمر“The best sahoor for the believer is date”.
