*30 Rabi Ul Aakhir 1444*
*25 November 2022*
*Friday يوم الجمعة*

_Sayyiduna Abu Lubaabah رضي الله عنه reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:_

*“The day of Jumuah is the sayyidul ayaam (i.e. the leader of all days), and the greatest day (from the days of the week) in the sight of Allah Ta’ala. It is more virtuous than the day of Eid ul Adha and the day of Eid ul Fitr in the sight of Allah Ta’ala.*

*_(Sunan Ibn Majah 1084)_*

```Today being the blessed day of Jumu'ah, let us recite Surah Kahaf, engage in fervent duaa and send abundant salutations on our Beloved Nabi Muhammad Mustafa ﷺ.```

*SURAH TWO AL-BAQARAH*

*THE BULL*

*Aayah 75*

(O Mu'mineen) Do you still hope that they (the Jews) will have Imaan for your sake when there is a party from them (their Rabbis as well as those who went to Mount Toor with Moosa and heard Allaah speak) who listen to Allaah's speech (the Torah) and then purposely alter it after Understanding it? (Entertain no such hopes because they will not follow you in Imaan.)

*Prohibiting Injustice And Commanding Settlement Of Injustices*

`Aishah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever usurps unlawfully even a hand span of land a collar measuring seven times (this) land will be placed around his neck on the Day of Resurrection".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

*Commentary:*

This Hadith tells us that even a minor injustice to anybody in this world can cause great trouble on the Day of Resurrection.

Question and Answer:

Q. My husband and I have adopted two children. We are now divorcing due to certain issues. Are the Islamic custodial rulings for adopted children the same as biological children?

(Question published as received)

A. The general rights and laws of custody (Haqq-ul-Hadhaanah) does not apply to adopted or fostered children. There are no fixed principles governing the rights of custody of adopted children in the case of divorce between spouses. Therefore, in this regard, the couple should discuss the matter and reach a mutual agreement in the best interest of the children. (Shaami 3/556)
