Homemade Personal Cleansing Cloths (Wipes)

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved, Beautiful and Refined Black Sisters!

It is a well-known fact that “Cleanliness is Next to Godliness.” And, as the Aboriginal Black Woman, we should let no woman beat us in anything when it comes to intelligence and cleanliness. This includes our surroundings and ourselves. Our homes should be spotless at all times, so that we could eat off the floor, if need be.

We should bathe or the equivalent every night before we get in the bed. It is best to bathe before getting in the bed because you don’t want to put on clean night clothes and get in a clean bed with a dirty body. So, we should get in the habit of taking a bath every night before we pray and go to sleep.

Personally, I have gotten to the point where I really look forward to my nightly baths. I play soft music and put a couple of drops of Lavender Essential Oil in the water. It is also nice to bathe by candlelight. I used to use bubble bath, but ever since I’ve started trying to limit the amount of toxins I absorb into my body, I have decided to omit the store bought bubble bath. I have not found a recipe for homemade Bubble Bath as yet, however, the experience is just as relaxing without the bubble bath.

***UPDATE***

I started using bubble bath again. I just try to make sure it doesn’t have too many harmful ingredients. And steer clear of 99 cents store bubble bath with the Proposition 65 Warning. I really love Bath & Body Works Lavender Bubble Bath or whatever it’s called. I don’t remember what’s in it but something that makes you feel that good can’t be that bad for you. And if it is, I’m just going to balance it by eating properly and using other products that aren’t harmful. Sometimes I use dishwashing liquid when I don’t have any bubble bath. Avon is good too.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Since we are such busy creatures, keeping house, raising children and taking care of our husbands, I believe Our Saviour, Allah, delights in us pampering ourselves and taking a little time to relax and reward ourselves after a hard day of housework.

When I marry my Zawji, we plan to have a big enough bathtub so that we can do our ablutions together.

But I digress. Cleanliness is an area about which we should be almost obsessive. We should not be able to sit down unless our house is immaculate. And we should be just as thorough about personal cleanliness as well.

Our clothes should always be completely clean and unsoiled, mended and properly pressed. And they should also always be put on a clean body. We should make every effort to maintain personal hygiene and keep ourselves as clean and fresh as possible throughout the day. One important way we can ensure that we are completely clean and odorless is by using Personal Cleansing Cloths after visiting the privy.

They are also good for freshening up during menstruation.

Personal Cleansing Cloths are very easy to make and do not contain harsh chemicals and toxins found in store bought wet wipes. Also, by using personal cleansing cloths you will never be ashamed by any embarrassing and unsanitary stains found in your undergarments ever again. They are extremely safe and gentle enough to use on your precious Black babies.

INGREDIENTS

1 roll of heavy duty paper towels (the cheap kind won’t work for these)

Round plastic container with lid. The taller the better. I use a large pitcher.

2 Cups Hot Water

4-5 T Black Soap (grated)download (31)
(You should get your African Black Soap from TAJ MAHAL on Crenshaw and 57th. They have the best prices. Their website doesn’t offer the authentic African Black Soap (as shown in the picture) but you can get a big block (about four of the bars in the picture) for only $12.00. They also sell the size in the picture for $3.00, I think. Just call them and ask them to send you the REAL AFRICAN BLACK SOAP. Tell them you want the kind that comes wrapped in plastic wrap.)

2 T Aloe Vera

2 T Witch Hazel

3 T Olive, Almond, Jojoba or any Oil or combination of Oils

1 T Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter

*You can vary the amounts depending on the size of your wipes

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut the roll just enough so it fits into your container. If you cut the roll in half, your wipes will be rather small and rectangular.

2. Place the wipes, cut side down in container.

3. Dissolve Black Soap and Cocoa Butter in hot water.

4. Add Aloe Vera, Oil and Witch Hazel. Mix well.

6. Pour mixture over paper towels and let absorb. You can flip it over to cover the entire area. This should take about five-ten minutes.

7. Pull out the cardboard and one paper towel from the inside of the roll. This will get your roll started for you.

These wipes are MUCH better quality than ANY brand I have ever bought from the store. Not to mention that they are better for your health. You can use them without worrying about harmful chemicals and relish in the fact that you are improving your and your family’s measure of cleanliness, which is one of the greatest enjoyments we can have.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved, Beautiful and Intelligent Sisters!

Our Beloved Messenger, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) taught us that the Original Language of The Aboriginal Black Nation of the Planet Earth is ARABIC. Arabic is the Language of Allah. It is the Language in which Our Holy Book, The Glorious Holy Qur-an Sharrieff, was revealed.

Our Lessons Teach us that:

“The root of civilization is in Arabia at the Holy City Mecca, which means where wisdom and knowledge of the original man first started, when the planet was found.” 

Conclusively, since the Root of Civilization is in Arabia at the Holy City Mecca, then the Language of the Original Man – The Asiatic Blackman – is Arabic.

You may disagree with this bit of history, which is understandable, because the devil has not confirmed it. But consider this… One MUST be a Muslim to enter the City of Mecca. If the whiteman cannot even enter the city, how can he determine how old it is???

Our Lessons originated with The Originator of the Universe. Who would know better than He where the Root of Civilization is located? You Can Take It or Leave It. But your disbelief does not detract from the Truth one iota. It just makes you a disbeliever.

With the Knowledge that Arabic is our Original Language, we should take the proper steps to master this Divine Language. Fortunately for you, the whole world of information is just a click away.

With a little determination, you can learn anything you desire through the resources available to you on the Internet. If you are Homeschooling, or if you are not Homeschooling, you should ensure your child spends quality time on the computer and does not waste time and energy playing silly games which require no thought thinking.

Young children pick up languages very quickly. The earlier you begin the better. If you learn along with them, you can converse with each other. And it is very cool to be out in the public where no one but you and your child understand what you’re saying to each other!

Not to mention the cognitive benefits of speaking a second or multiple languages. According to this article:

“The collective evidence from a number of studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function — a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems and performing various other mentally demanding tasks. These processes include ignoring distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another and holding information in mind — like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.”

Learning a foreign language will make your children better equipped for immediate and future success and will give them the mental tools they will need for governing in the Hereafter. It will also be beneficial to you. The above study indicates that:

“Individuals with a higher degree of bilingualism — measured through a comparative evaluation of proficiency in each language — were more resistant than others to the onset of dementia and other symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease: the higher the degree of bilingualism, the later the age of onset.”

SAVIOUR’S DAY 1972

BISMILLAH

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved Sisters!

     On February 26, 1877, A Saviour Was Born for the Salvation of The So-Called American Negroes, a people who had been stolen from our land and people and were forced to serve under hard taskmasters (white devils) for four hundred years. These white devils were not satisfied with just our labour, no, they committed the greatest and gravest robbery against us that can ever be committed against a human being; they robbed us of the Knowledge of Self. They beat, raped, tortured, murdered, burned, and sold us between each other, like livestock, for 400 long years.

     On July 4, 1930, this Saviour Came to America and Located His Lost and Now Found People (the so-called Negroes) and began to teach us the True Knowledge of Ourselves; that we are the Aboriginal Members of the Asiatic Black Nation of the Planet Earth. And, that HE HAS CHOSEN US TO BE HIS PEOPLE AND HE IS GOING TO DESTROY THE DEVILS WHO HAVE DESTROYED US.

     And thus, every year, on February 26th, (when our Beloved Messenger, The Most Honorable and Humble Elijah Muhammad [May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him] was alive), the Believers, from all over the world, would convene in Chicago, Illinois for The Nation of Islam’s Annual SAVIOUR’S DAY Convention in honor of the Birth of OUR SAVIOUR, MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD, To Whom Praises Are Due Forever.

     These historic lectures were recorded using audiotape as far back as 1958. However, with the advent of videotape, The Nation took advantage of this more sophisticated method of recording and began to document Our Beloved Messenger’s (PBUH) Saviour’s Day lectures using video.

     The 1972 Saviour’s Day Lecture from The Last and Greatest Messenger of Allah, The Lamb of God, Raised By Allah to Lead, Teach and Guide The Lost and Now Found Members of The Aboriginal Black Nation – The So-Called Negroes (A People to Whom No Warner Had Come Before) – Our Dear and Holy Apostle, The Most Honorable and Humble Elijah Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is presented below.

Just my own personal research on homeschooling resources and websites.

Because most of the websites are for fee, I would highly recommend visiting your neighborhood public school and talking to the staff about using old or discontinued textbooks along with the teacher’s guides.

It is difficult to find textbooks online that come with the teacher’s guides so I think this would be your best bet.

If you know any teachers talk to them and see if they can hook you up.

The library is an excellent resource for educational videos and non-fiction books.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Sisters!

I don’t know about you, but whenever I hear a Brother or Sister refer to someone as their “Baby Mama” or “Baby Daddy”, I just cringe. It is abominable that such an affronting term has become so commonplace.

This society of wickedness has given birth to a whole new array of shameful concepts and ideas. From “Baby Mamas and Daddies” to “Prophylactics” to  “Home Paternity Tests”. It is unbelievable the extent to which we have become accustomed to fornication and adultery.

Our Beloved Messenger, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) has taught us that our enemy, the devil caucasian makes evil “fair-seeming”. Which is exactly what he does. A thorough examination of American society will bear witness to this unfortunate reality.

Everywhere you look, you see people, who are not married, sweethearting with each other. Adultery is EVERYWHERE! One would have to be blind not to notice such public displays of outright disobedience to the Law of Allah (God). It is on the television, in movies, books, newspapers and magazines, on the radio, billboards, and even seen among the public.

Not only does the devil bombard us with his acts of evil and wickedness; he makes mockery of those who shun his evil practices and would rather choose to obey Allah (God) and guard their chastity. He makes it seem as though something is wrong with you if you are still a virgin in High School. Making our youth feel like outcasts if they (especially the Brothers) are not sexually active, with multiple partners. And that they are not “cool.” The devil ridicules marriage, as though it is some type of shackle. 

Our babies are taught to become interested in romance when they are still in the cradle, through the devils cartoons and fairy tales.

And we, Black People in America, buy right into this unrighteous notion that we must be promiscuous in order to “fit in” to this wicked society.  This is contrary to our nature of Submission to the Will of Allah. We were Created to be Chaste and Righteous Muslims, but following after our former slavemasters we have fallen off the Straight Path. And as a result, the rate of children being born out of wedlock has skyrocketed.

I remember reading an alarming statistic that a Black child had a better chance of growing up with both parents during slavery than he has now. That is unfathomable. However, it is entirely possible considering the depth of depravity we, as a people, have fallen into.

black_family

It is not our fault, however. For 400 years, we had no other teacher than our wicked slavemaster, who was made evil by nature. So naturally, we followed after his wicked ways. But, now Allah Has Come and He Raised Up The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) to Lead, Teach and Guide us into the Knowledge of Self. All Praise is Due to Allah!

Now, Dear Sister, you have the choice to Accept Your Own And Be Yourself or you can continue to follow the disgraceful ways of your enemy, whose time is up. The wise thing to do would be to reform yourself and be a good example for your children.

If you have a “Baby Daddy,” it is okay. Allah does not remind us of any of our previous indiscretions after we have Accepted Our Own. But it is up to you to “turn over a completely new leaf”, as the saying goes, and reinvent yourself as the wholesome, decent and intelligent Blackwoman you were Created to be.

Do not have “boyfriends”. Do not entertain any men in your home, nor go to their homes. This is continuing in the practice that got you a “Baby Daddy”. You have to be completely chaste now. Dress modestly and dress your daughters modestly. There is nothing worse than seeing a half-dressed woman walking down the street with her apparently fatherless children in tow!

We have to change the image we present to the world and the only way we can do it, is by actually changing. If you have a “Baby Daddy”, admit to yourself that you have been doing something wrong. Then and only then will you be able to take the proper steps to improve your life.

You want a husband and a FATHER for your children, who can help you raise them 24/7. If you continue in the same pattern, you will only end up with more of the same, i.e, more babies and more “Baby Daddies.”

o-BLACK-FAMILY-facebook.jpg

It is a fact that some men target women with children, because they conclude, “If she did it once, she’ll do it again.” They take advantage of your desperation for a husband and father for your children and use you for sex. Regardless to his declarations of love, do not become physically involved with a man until after he marries you. This is the only way you can ensure he will not end up as just your “Baby Daddy”.

If the marriage ends, he will be your “ex-husband.” He won’t be your “Baby Daddy.” Just the fact that you were actually married speaks volumes about your character. It demonstrates that you are virtuous enough to uphold the values and morals of a decent and intelligent, respectable Black woman.

An ex-husband is also more likely to take an active role in your child’s upbringing than will a “Baby Daddy.” Because he loved you enough to marry you, he invested more of himself in the children.

Dear Sisters, we must redeem ourselves in the eyes of Our Saviour, Allah (God), and the world. We are perceived the whole world over as nothing but half-dressed whores, sexually exploited in the media and in the imaginations of every nationality of men. We have been used and abused since slavery. And only we can change this low-based perception of ourselves.

It begins with us as individuals first. We each have to be the paradigm. So we can show and prove to our sisters, who are still caught up in the devil’s world of sport and play, that they too, are capable of being respectable, righteous women. And, In sha Allah (If it is the Will of Allah), we will return every Blackwoman of America back to her rightful position on Top of Civilization, as the Goddess of the Universe, overnight!

Elijah & Clara Muhammad

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved Sisters,

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) taught us that the Blackman has “more powerful brains” than the Blackwoman because he was “made to rule.” That is Knowledge of Self, Blackwoman! Knowing that the Blackman was made to rule and not you. Acknowledging that the Blackman has more powerful brains than you is so liberating! You can finally put an end to all of this trying to be smarter and greater than men!

Allah’s Messenger to The Black Nation (PBUH) HAS DECLARED THAT THE BLACKMAN HAS MORE POWERFUL BRAINS THAN THE BLACKWOMAN!

This does not mean that we are lacking in the area of intelligence. On the contrary, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that “Man is the 1st self. And woman is the 2nd self.” Yes, we are second to the Blackman, but we are still the Original People, who is Allah.

There is no shame in being second to the God of the Universe. It makes sense. The Blackman is the Ruler and we are the Helpmate. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (PBUH) taught the Brothers that, “Without our women, we would be pretty lonesome creatures.” We complement each other.

Following after the devil Caucasian woman has put us, Blackwomen, in competition with our own Blackman, whom we were Created to Help and Support. It has us acting crazy and other than ourselves. But All praise is due to Allah for the Most Honorable and Humble Elijah Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) for guiding us into the Path of Truth. Will you accept your place on that Path, Dear Sister? Will you Accept Your Own and Be Yourself?

Or are you going to be stiff-necked and hard-headed and cling to the debilitating ways of your oppressors?

That way will only lead to slavery, suffering and finally death.

Don’t you want to be successful? Don’t you want to live a life of unlimited progress?

Then you must accept that the Blackman has more powerful brains than you and submit to him!

In order for us to be successful as a Nation, we all must submit to Our Saviour, Who Delivered us and Returned us to our own, Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praise is Due Forever. Additionally, within our homes, we have levels of submission as well.

As the woman, we must submit to our husband, who is the Head of the Household, in order for our homes to function properly. You must rear your children to submit to him as well as to yourself. This hierarchy creates peace.

No man wants his wife arguing with him and challenging him. We must submit to him and recognize him as the head. We can make suggestions and voice our opinions if he asks for them, because Allah made us intelligent just so that we can be useful in assisting our husbands. But we must submit to our husbands decisions. If you cannot submit to your husband you will never have peace nor a well-balanced lifestyle.

The courtship process is when we determine if the Brother courting us is a Brother whom we can respect and honor and one to whom we can submit. We should be gauging his intelligence, his wisdom and common sense. Does he submit his will to the Will of Allah? How does he handle money? Whose company does he keep? How is he with decision-making? If you find that the answers to these questions leave you satisfied and happy, then you consider if you can submit to him in everything.

This is the area where most women drive their men away. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) teaches us that:

“Woman must always submit and recognize man as the head. Even if the husband is a junky husband; yet he is the man. By nature man can’t submit to the woman. Holy Quran says woman has equal rights as he has rights over her. But these rights are defined. We are talking about rights now, not authority. Rights are not authority. Holy Quran says he is exalted over you. He is the sustainer over you. He is the authority and woman is subject to the authority.

“Love makes us humble to the law. If we love each other we won’t disagree. When you love someone, you love them for yourself.”

Success in the home depends on you, Blackwoman. As soon as we stop competing with our Blackman and submit willingly and humbly to him, as well as to our own divinely appointed position as Helpmate, Peace and Tranquility will return to our homes.

FREE Online Typing Tutorials For Children and Adults

Bismillah

In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad

Type the letter 'f'

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum!

Beloved Sisters, I cannot overemphasize the importance of Homeschooling your children. The devil’s school is NO PLACE to send your children to be educated. All they will learn is white supremacy and self-hate. Our children MUST be given a THOROUGH Knowledge of Self so they can assume their rightful position as the rulers of the next world. They can only attain this Supreme Wisdom from their own.

We must make a prodigious effort to educate ourselves, so that A.) we will be qualified to properly educate our children and B.) our children will bear witness to how important the acquisition of knowledge is to us.

We must first get a thorough Knowledge of Self, God and our enemy the devil Caucasian. This Divine Supreme Wisdom Teaching Can Only Come From The Only Man Raised By Allah to Teach us of This Knowledge – The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him).

He died in 1975, but he left a plethora of books, articles, videos and audiotaped lectures of his Teachings which will live FOREVER. Just go to YouTube and type in The Honourable Elijah Muhammad (pbuh) and you will find numerous videos of his lectures and interviews. Beware of people talking ABOUT him. Listen to what HE had to say to get a thorough education of his Teachings and not what people said ABOUT him. See for yourself.

We must be obsessed with this Divine Supreme Wisdom Teaching and instill in our children the importance of internalizing this Wisdom. We must clearly understand that learning The Supreme Wisdom and practicing Islam are the only things that will save us from the destruction coming to America and will also bring us success. We have to teach our children this Wisdom at home. The devil will NEVER teach us of his own Destruction and our Salvation.

Our Beloved Messenger, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) taught in Message To The Blackman In America:

“We need education, but an education which removes us from the shackles of slavery and servitude. Get an education, but not an education which leaves us in an inferior position and without a future. Get an education, but not an education that leaves us looking to the slave-master for a job.

“We should acquire an education where our people will become better students than their teachers. Get an education which will make our people produce jobs for self and will make our people willing and able to go and do for self.”

The devil will only teach our Black children, in his schools, to continue to be his slaves. Just like he taught us and our parents. We have to teach our children the Knowledge and Wisdom that will make them to Do Something For Self and be Independent Rulers. Black is going to be the Rulers of the Next Life and Only YOU can make your children aware of the necessary Qualification for this Divine Responsibility.

Teach them what The Honourable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) taught us we need to know in Message To The Blackman in America – The Knowledge of Self, God and the Devil; Mathematics; Science and History – the History of the Black Nation, the Knowledge of the Civilizations of Man and the Universe and All the Sciences.

Writing is the way in which we communicate our thoughts to others. We must teach our children how to be proficient in this Art if we plan on them attaining any degree of success.

I have found a website that will teach your young Black children the indispensable skill of TYPING. Typing has always been an invaluable skill, and in the information age in which we live, those who can type have an enormous advantage over those who cannot. The earlier your children learn how to type, the earlier they can begin spreading the Message of Islam (Salvation) across the Internet and thus, help Our Beloved Messenger (PBUH) in the work of raising their mentally dead Lost and now Found Brothers and Sisters.

Learning to type is a skill which your children will carry with them for the rest of their lives. It will make transferring their thoughts to paper or computer 1000 times easier than if they had to struggle pecking on a keyboard. Setting aside just a few minutes each day (about 10-15 minutes or more depending on their attention span) will allow them to practice and develop an integral skill which will inarguably be advantageous for them in the future.

*************

The first website is for younger children, but I am also including another website that is more suitable for older children, which adults might also find beneficial, if our typing skills need some “tweaking”. 🙂

I Pray Allah, We Are Able To Make Use Of These Resources And That Allah Blesses Us With Incalculable Successes In The Education Of Our Children In A Manner That Will Make Us Better Prepared To Be Just And Wise, Righteous Rulers In Our Future Wherein There Will Be Nothing But Unlimited Progress!!!

How to Attract and Keep a GOOD Husband

BISMILLAH

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE MOST MERCIFUL
MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD,
TO WHOM PRAISE IS DUE FOREVER

older-black-couple-353x210

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful Sisters!

Dear Sisters, I am sure we all can agree that there are two types of women. Those who can keep a man, and those who can’t. For most of my life, I have been in the category of the latter. But All Praise is Due to Allah for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). This man taught me how to be a good “wife”. Not girlfriend. Not “baby mama.” Not “friend”. Not anything less than A WIFE. He also taught me how to attract a good man and how to keep him.

Naturally, all women want the companionship of a good husband. Allah (God) Created the woman to be the helpmate of man and for man to be the provider for woman. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that, “A man and woman are like twins before marriage and after marriage are one. Man and woman are part of each other, flesh and blood. Holy Qur-an states you are created one of each other.”

However, before we should even consider entering into a relationship with a Brother, we must qualify ourselves and make sure we possess those qualities that are desirable and suitable for a wife. The first thing a potential suitor notices is our appearance. So, we must always present ourselves to the world as decent and intelligent Blackwomen – who are clean, neat and well-groomed. At all times! Even if we are just going out of the house to check the mail.

If we want our Black Brothers to treat us like the The Mothers of Civilization that we are, with respect and reverence, then we must emanate self-respect. If we go places half-dressed or unclean and unkempt, then we give the impression that we have a low opinion of ourselves. Accordingly, our men will have a low opinion of us. And thus, we will attract men who disrespect us.

On the other hand, if we have enough decency and self-respect to dress modestly and take care to always be clean, neat and well-groomed, then we show the world that we respect ourselves. And consequently, we will attract men who reciprocate that respect.

So, it begins with us, Sisters. Ultimately, something as simple and easy as your outward appearance will determine your choices for a husband. In short, you will not attract a husband who will respect you if you don’t manifest respect for yourself. I know you have heard that before. But yet, I still hear women talk about they want men to respect them, while they are dressed like a prostitute! What man can respect a prostitute? Or a woman who looks like one!?!?

We have to look at ourselves with new eyes, Sisters. Stop reading this right now and go look in the mirror. Go look. I’ll wait

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Okay. How do you look right now??? Did you see a clean, neat and well-groomed, decent and intelligent Black woman? Or did you see a so-called African-American who is up from slavery, and does not care about how she looks or goes half-dressed???

Right now, you should make the commitment to always be clean, neat and well-groomed, EVEN AROUND THE HOUSE. You never know when someone will show up unexpectedly or if an emergency will arise when you have to leave the house in a hurry. “If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.”

Let’s develop the daily habits of waking up, making up the bed AS SOON AS WE GET OUT OF IT, grooming, and getting dressed EVERY DAY, whether we are going somewhere or not. Do you think a husband wants to look at his wife walking around the house looking unkempt? Emphatically, NO!

You should always be beautiful, in order to keep your husband attracted to you. If you don’t keep up your appearance, he will start looking for beauty in other women and we don’t want that. It is entirely up to you and it is absolutely possible to keep your husband focused and seeing you as the beautiful woman with whom he fell in love. Take pride in your beauty as an Asiatic Blackwoman and be clean, neat and well-groomed FROM THE MOMENT YOU WAKE UP UNTIL YOU GO TO BED EVERY NIGHT.

Single women need to develop these habits now in preparation for the day Allah blesses us with a husband and also for the reasons mentioned above.

APPEARANCE is primary because before you even look at the Brother or open your mouth to speak, your appearance has already spoken for you. The main things to remember concerning our appearance are, “Am I covered?” and “Am I clean, neat and well-groomed?” If we always consider these things then we won’t have to worry so much about attracting the wrong men. We want our appearance to say, “I am an intelligent Blackwoman, with enough decency and self-respect to dress modestly and neatly. So do not approach me unless you are decent and intelligent enough to treat me in the same manner in which I treat myself.”

Your appearance alone can keep the “dogs” at bay. Good men know a Good woman when they see one. You can prevent the drama and headaches and heartbreaks that come from choosing the wrong man, just by the way you dress. Just by the way you dress! Yes, it is that simple. I bear witness.

The Holy Qur-an teaches that we are not even supposed to look an unknown Brother in the eye. Eye contact is usually the first contact between a man and a woman. So we lower our gaze. Believe me when I tell you that this deters men who are only attracted to us physically. And yes, women who are modestly dressed still attract men who are only interested in us physically.

Men with honorable intentions will take the added initiative to approach us in a more respectable manner. Whereas a man who only wants sex and/or a man who is not self-confident enough will be discouraged by our lowering our gaze and seek a less confident or loose woman.

There is so much to talk about on relationships. I have only scratched the surface. But In sha Allah, (If it is the Will of Allah) I will write more on the subject in the future. Thank you and May Allah Bless each and every one of you with a Righteous and Rich Husband!

****Notes to Remember****

*Never try to make eye contact with a Brother.
It shows desperation.
Let him come up to you.

*Never go up to speak to a Brother sitting in a car.
This is the practice of prostitutes.

*Never speak to a man over the phone after 9 pm.
This is too late for any kind of decent conversation.

*If you are standing outside speaking to a Brother,
take the conversation inside off the sidewalk.
This is more appropriate.

*Don’t settle.

*DO NOT IGNORE “WARNING SIGNS!!!”

*You should never be alone with a Brother who is not your husband for obvious reasons.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful and Beloved Black Sisters!

Although Eggplant is a dish that is not traditionally served in Black households, it is VERY delicious and also good for our health. There are many recipes for this exotic fruit that can be incorporated into our diets without too much inconvenience.

Now, you may have never cooked with Eggplant and may be a little intimidated when it comes to selecting an eggplant. I’ve bought them on several occasions and had to throw them away because they were discolored when I brought them home and cut into them. However, I’ve read that a little discoloration is okay. They are like apples.

But now, that I’ve read up on how to select an Eggplant, I shouldn’t have that problem anymore, In Sha Allah (If It Is The Will Of Allah). Now, when I researched how to select an Eggplant I was met with conflicting reports. However, I was fortunate enough to read the “rebuttals” to the claims first and then I got to the claim that like many plants, “eggplants can be male or female.” However, according to science, this is not true, because eggplants self-pollinate, meaning that  they have both MALE and FEMALE parts.

However, I continued my research and happened across a cook who was writing from experience and I rely more on and expert who speaks from experience than on one who speaks from experiments.

This is what she had to say. When choosing an eggplant, the males generally have fewer seeds than the females, and since the seeds give the eggplant a bitter taste, you want to choose a male.

Here is how you can tell the difference. Look at the bottom of the Eggplant. Female eggplants generally have wider, deep “navels” (pictured on the right) while males have round, smaller and shallower “navels”

You also want to look for Eggplants that have shiny, taut skin. If the skin is dull, it may be too ripe and will likely have developed more seeds.

This recipe is so simple and sounds delicious. I think I might try it covered in Parmesan cheese! 😉
