SALSAAL E SAFA
The existence and development of any organisation andthe stability and progress of its activities are dependent on twothings. One that all the individuals associated with theorganisation are bound to the rules and regulations formulated forthe robust functioning of the organisation. The organisationwhose members adhere to the stipulated rules and regulations, itsactivities are effective and worthy of emulation by otherorganisations and where the members of the organisation deviatefrom those rules and regulations, the objective and functioning ofthe organisation gets affected.
The second thing is communication. All the individualsassociated with the organisation, whether they are associated withthe centre or with the branches, ought to communicate with eachother similar to the trunk, branches and leaves of a tree that areassociated with the roots.
Conduct and communication are the two wheels that drivethe organisation towards its destination.
Safa Baitul Maal is a welfare organisation. Theorganisation is spread across eight states of India. The objectiveof the organisation is not to populate the work but to perform insuch efficient and effective manner that is devoid of anyshortcoming.
These two vital basics bind the central Safa Baitul Maalwith its more than fifty strong, efficient and effective branches.Conduct and communication are the means with which the centrestays in touch with its branches.
Therefore, the centre ensures implementation of its codeby the branches and also adopts the strategy to maintaincommunication with its branches, as a result of which,Alhamdulillah, there is efficient and rather robust functioning in

Afia Salmana
Facing kaaba five times everyday, I stand before Allah to pray.In humility I bow my head,And worldly ambitions I shed.Earthly engagements I suspend,And into a higher realm I transcend. Its a meeting just between us two,Our intimate rendezvous!
Salah- one of the five pillars of Islam,A tool to attain mental and spiritual calm.With each ruku and every sujood,With Allah my relationship is renewed. Leaving all work and pastimesPraying at the appointed timesI learn to live a life of discipline.My consciousness I learn to awaken.
Begin the day with fajr.At midday, proceed with zuhr.In the evening, pray asr.From my obligation I don't deter.No matter what worldly tasks aboundAs I for maghrib again hit the ground.Finally as the night fallsAnd as the muezzin for isha callsThough too tired but his call I do heed,With hopes that my Lord with me would be pleased.
So from the break of dawnTill the sun goes down My prayers lead me through the day,Sincere submission to Him as I try to display.

(Episode32)
The expiation for Zihar is to feed sixty poor people
And those who make Zihar with their wives and wish tofree themselves from what they uttered; the penalty in that case isthe freeing of a slave before they touch each other. That is anadmonition to you so that you may not return to such an ill thing.And Allah is All-Aware of what you do. And he who cannotafford it must fast two successive months before they both toucheach other. And for him who is unable to do so, he should feedsixty poor. (Surah Mujadila: 3-4)
Zihar is a specific condition of making one's wife unlawfulon oneself. Zihar was practiced in the pre-Islamic period; itscondition was that the husband told his wife "Youare unlawful to me like my mother's back"; in the period ofignorance, Zihar was considered greater then divorce.
