I FOUND THIS ON THE WEB, IT THINK IT'S EXCELLENT, DON'T YOU?

A single pious, practicing woman is equal to 70 saints (aulia-e-kraam ).

A single bad (evil) woman is equal to 1000 bad men.

Two rakaats namaaz of an aalimah woman are better than 80 rakaats of ordinary women.

A breastfeeding woman gets one good for each drop of milk that is fed to the child.

When a husband comes home full of worries and the wife extends warm welcome to him and consoles him; she receives the reward of half jihad.

A woman, who is deprived of sleep owing to her child crying at night, receives the sawaab of freeing 20 slaves.

When a husband and a wife look at each other with love and affection, Allah Paak himself looks at both of them with love and affection.

Police in Tanzania say they have arrested a Kenyan national who was attempting to sell an albino man.

The arrest was made in a sting operation as police pretended to be businessmen buying albino body parts.

Police say they struck a deal equivalent to more than $250,000 (£159,000) for the 20-year-old man.

Albino body parts are prized in parts of Africa, with witchdoctors claiming they have special powers. The Tanzanian government has promised to take action.
