Pearl of Wisdom

'The Prophet (SAWA) employed a man from the tribe of Bani Asad who was called Ibn al-Utbiyya to go and collect some charity and when he came back, he said, 'This is for you, and this is my gift [assuming possession of some of the donation for himself].' So the Prophet (SAWA) ascended the pulpit. He praised Allah and extolled Him, and said, 'What is it with the administrator who we send [to work] and he comes back and says, 'This is for you and this is for me!' He should sit in the house of his mother and father and see if he is given a gift or not?! By He who owns my soul, anything that he takes he will be carrying on his neck on the Day of Resurrection, even if it is a grumbling camel, a bellowing cow, or a moaning sheep.'

Abu Hamid al-Shahidi
Sahih al-Bukhdri, v. 6, p. 2624, no. 6753

An Advice to Pregnant Women E-mail

Pregnant women are advised to abstain from lifting heavy materials. They should also avoid very tiring tasks. If a carrying mother tires herself, she is likely to tire the baby too. In such cases there is the danger of miscarriage of the pregnancy.

Travelling during the last months of pregnancy too is not advised. If there is no urgent need of travelling, it is better the carrying mothers do not undertake a journey in that period. However doing light work and restricted movement is not harmful and, in fact, is beneficial for the health of both the mother and the child.

Dr Jalali writes:

“Excessive fatigue in pregnant women gives rise to poisonous substances in the blood. Since this blood is the source of nutrition for the foetus, it can adversely affect the growth of the child. (Rowan shinashi kudak, p. 222)
