#PunditIslamic: 10 GREAT GOALS TO ACHIEVE THIS RAMADAN

Eat, drink and be moderate

Almost all of us do it - once Iftar time hits, we just keep plowing food and drink into our mouths till it’s hard to move afterwards. And those of us who do it know this is totally contrary to the spirit of Ramadan, through which we’re supposed to learn self-control, not self-indulgence. Let’s try to stick to the Prophetic rule on eating: fill our stomachs with one-third food, one-third water and one-third breathing space, even in Ramadan.

Give in charity

The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was always generous but even more so in Ramadan. Let’s open our hearts and dig a little deeper in our wallets this year. Whatever you can give, it’s the intention that counts.

#PunditSundaySermon: SPEAK THE TRUTH WITH TRUTH, BE THE OPPOSITE OF AN HYPOCRITE

Knowledge doesn’t terminate on the knower. We don’t learn in order to conceal, just like a lamp isn’t lit to be put under a basket (Matthew 5:15). We learn in order to express — to lead others in seeing and savoring what we have seen and savored. And that means we don’t merely say it, but that we say it effectively.

To encourage this kind of communication, John Piper recently explained four characteristics of helpful speaking and writing to new graduates of Bethlehem College and Seminary. He counsels communicators to say what they’ve seen with truth, with logic, with pictures, and with love.

MARRIAGE: HOW REALLY LONG CAN LOVE LAST?

At a wedding reception I attended some years ago, the chairman of the occasion, in his advice to the couple said, “Love has done and completed its work in this relationship today in bringing the two of you together. What remains now is for tolerance, respect, trust, submission, etc, to continue where love has ended.” He was simply saying that all love does in any marriage is to attract the two people involved together. After this, some other virtues must take over from love if the marriage must survive.

MARRIAGE: THINK LIKE A WIVE BUT ACT LIKE A SEXY MISTRESS

Wives should learn how to be their husbands’ mistresses in order to keep the marriage secure. This is not to say that it is their sole responsibility to keep the marriage; rather, it is to enable them to play their own part in keeping their marriages. I am a strong advocate that a woman has all it takes to keep her marriage. All that she requires is the will. Once there is the will, there will be a way.

Being great emotional beings, women are wired to be great lovers. So, it should not be difficult for a woman to love and express her love as it is the sustenance of every marriage. Every wife should endeavor to be her husband’s lover. When this is achieved, her husband will have no need of a mistress.

MARRIAGE: DO WIVES ALSO BEGS FOR SEX?

In many instances, the issue of sexual dissatisfaction is treated as a male problem or issue: it is the man who is never sexually satisfied; he is the one who is always asking for more sex, and yet never satisfied. And as a result, the emphasis is on how to ensure sexual satisfaction for the man.

However, the truth of the matter is that wives also cry for sex. I mean, more sex. Many wives are dying on the inside, craving for more sex from their husbands. They wish their husbands had more time for sexual activities with them; that their husbands had more power packed into their manhood to ensure greater pleasure; that their sex life is above the ordinary; that their husbands do not turn down so often, their sexual requests.

MARRIAGE: WHEN IN-LAWS BECOMES OUTLAWS?

For this reason a man shall leave his mother and father and cling to his wife, the two shall no longer be two but one.” No doubt we must have heard this common biblical proclamation one or two times at wedding ceremonies.

What follows from the presiding pastor or spiritual mentor often times will be the fact that the new couple should be left alone by parents and family members from both sides; the bride and the groom, so that they can live their life and build their own family.

Most often than not, this admonition does not hold water with some parents as they take delight in meddling with their children’s new home? Ifeoluwa, got what she did not bargain for few weeks after her wedding. During courtship, her mother-in-law whom she fondly calls mum related very well with her and whenever she was in any gathering where any mother-in-law maltreats their son’s wife’s is being discussed she would tell anyone who cared to listen that she was sure she would enjoy her mother-in-law as she sees the mother she didn’t have in her.

Her tale however changed, just few weeks after her wedding. According to her, her newly wedded husband was opposed to the fact that she wanted his mother to stay a little with them after their wedding.
