Jazaak Allah khair, brothers. Thank you for working hard driving a taxi fourteen hours a day because your medical degree from Pakistan isn\u2019t useful here in the US. Thank you for sending money back to your family in the Old Country even if that means you can only afford a small apartment here in the US. Thank you for spending time in the masjid learning your religion and sharing it with your family. Thank you for staying in that small apartment instead of getting a home mortgage with ribaa. Thank you for not getting the illegal cable hookup so you can keep your kids safe from MTV. Thank you for keeping your beard, even though it\u2019s kinda scraggly, because you love the Sunnah. Thank you for telling your wife that the abaya she is wearing is a bit tight in the bum. Thank you for insisting <\/em>that your wife get her driver\u2019s license so she can take care of errands while you\u2019re busy working. Thank you for taking in your sister and letting her live with you so she won\u2019t be out on the street. Thank you for impulsively taking all the money in your pocket and donating it to the homeless shelter. Thank you for buying that ugly dining room table because it was on sale and you thought it would please your wife. Thank you\u2026. thank you. <\/em> Fi Aman Allah,<\/p>\n Nancy Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah Well, something compelled me to set up this blog. I was drinking my morning coffee and checking out facebook while trying to block the baby and keep her from rolling off the couch. I clicked on a link to a blog entry here about Islamic divorce.

Yes, there are some really awful brothers out there. Duds, dullards, idiots, morons, and yes, even a**holes. Having grown up in the US as a non-Muslim I can say that a**holeness exists across all cultures and religions and is not confined to Muslim men. And even a good man can be an a**hole at times. Like we women can\u2019t be b**ches? Let\u2019s be honest. Men aren\u2019t perfect and women aren\u2019t perfect. And there are truly bad men out there. Men who are mean, who think they are doing women a favor by marrying them and then subjecting them to every indignity and abuse. Men who need a dose of their own medicine. Men who should be in jail. Men who should be under <\/em>the jail. But let\u2019s be sure not to paint all men with the same brush. There are lots of good brothers out there, and I just wanted to let them know how much they are appreciated. So thanks guys. I love you for the sake of Allah, and I forgive you if you leave the toilet seat up!<\/p>\n
