Sun Allergies: Symptoms and Treatment

A sun allergy is a reaction of the immune system, caused by sensitivity due to sunlight, and is known as photosensitivity. They occur when the sun-exposed skin reacts abnormally to sunlight. Scientist are still not able to understand the exact reason for its occurrence, though some research indicates inheritance as one of its reasons. The most common explanation is that the immune system treats the sun-altered skin as foreign substances and activates its defensive mechanism against it, causing allergic reactions.

Sun Allergies: Symptoms and Treatment
There are mainly four types of sun allergies. Sun allergy symptoms and treatments depend on the type of sun allergy. Following are the types, its symptoms and treatments.

Polymorphous Light Eruption (PMLE)
PMLE symptoms are an itchy or burning skin rash, as red plaques or small fluid-filled blisters, that can bleed on rupture, on the sun-exposed skin. It occurs within a couple of hours after sun-exposure and at times maybe accompanied by chills, headache or nausea. It usually occurs on exposed portions of the neck, upper chest, arms and lower legs. They tend to disappear on their own in a couple of days, but for some people it keeps re-occurring every spring and summer, resulting in a decrease in the skin's sensitivity to sunlight.

A mild reaction can be treated using a cold compress application or spaying the skin with cold water in frequent intervals. A more severe or hardened allergy is treated through medications such as an oral antihistamine, like diphenhydramine or chlorpheniramine, or any anti-rash skin cream containing cortisone. For extreme cases, doctors usually prescribe photo therapy treatment, where the skin is gradually exposed to ultraviolet light (UV), in small and frequent doses to build skin resistance to the sun. Sometimes, a combination of psoralen and ultraviolet light, antimalarial drugs or beta-carotene tablets are also used for treating PMLE sun allergy.

Actinic Prurigo
This form of sun allergy is an inherited form of PMLE. As its nature is inheritable, it begins early in life during childhood or adolescence. They share similar symptoms as PMLE form, but the rash occurs more on the face, than any other place. It re-occurs in spring and summer, while in tropical climates it persists round the year. Actinic prurigo sun allergy is treated using medications that include corticosteroids, thalidomide, antimalarial drugs, beta-carotene and UV, depending on the severity of the allergy.

Photoallergic Eruption
When the skin is exposed to sun, at times it reacts to the chemical component or substance present in the application used on the skin, such as sunscreen, fragrances, cosmetics or ointments and even to some prescribed drugs. The skin reacts and produces tiny red rashes or fluid-filled blisters. It may also spread through clothing, that covers the infected area. Most of the times, these symptoms present themselves after 2 to 3 days of sun exposure. The duration of photo allergic eruption, depends on the duration of the particular chemical substance used. The most common treatment prescribed by the doctor other than corticosteroid cream, is to find and eliminate the allergy causing products.

Solar Urticaria
This rare form of allergy is considered to be the only true form of sun allergy. It produces hives on the affected parts of the skin. It exhibits symptoms within minutes of exposure to sunlight, and if the hives are formed individually, they fade away within a couple of hours. It is treated as per its severity. For mild allergies, oral antihistamine or an anti-itch skin cream, containing cortisone is prescribed. For severe symptoms, a combination of psoralen and ultraviolet light, antimalarial drugs or beta-carotene tablets are used for its treatment.

Some over the counter medications like Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and quercitin (flavonoids) can prove to be helpful in treating and healing sun allergies. Besides these, preventive measures like using a good quality and high SPF sunscreen, and sun protection gear, should be used regularly. Exposure to sunlight cannot be avoided, but a few simple preventions taken, can save us the agony of dealing with sunburns and rashes

Husband's Responsibility Etiquette Towards His Wife

It is certainly not deficiency, but rather good manners, that the husband shares responsibility in household work like mending garments or what is similar to that. The wife takes care of the household affairs. So, it is from good manners that the husband extends a helping hand to his wife in the house during times of necessity such as when she is sick, pregnant, has given birth, etc. A man should not feel shy in serving himself.
 
The exemplary husband is he who cooperates with his wife by keeping good relations and showing kind manners (to her). Truly, the husbands who help their wives in their work are the best of mankind in the view of Islam. This good way of living between the spouses must be deeply imbedded into the daily marital life, even if the matter were to reach divorce.
 
Beware of characterizing the relationship between the spouses with over-seriousness. For indeed characterizing the family life with a militaristic nature amounts to one of the causes for failure and bad results.
 
Among the kind and noble manners of the husband is that he complies and assents to the requests of his wife, so long as they are not forbidden in the Religion. Extravagance in food, drink and clothing leads to the door of forbidden things in the Religion.

 

No human being is perfect. So no doubt the husband will see things in his wife that do not comply with his preferences. If these aspects are not in opposition to the fundaments of the Religion or to the obedience of the husband and his rights, then he should not try to change her personality to make it comply with his preferences.
 
He must always remember that for each one of the couple, there will be an aspect of one's personality that conflicts with the other's personality. The husband should always remember that if he doesn't like some things in his wife, then indeed she will have other characteristics that are definitely pleasing to him.
 
Do not look for the errors of your wife and recount them to her, for too much blaming and reprimanding will worsen the relationship between the two of you, and it will pose a threat to your marital life. So overlook each other's mistakes.
 
If you are able, do not hold back from providing your wife with good clothing and food, and from being generous in spending money on her. This is of course according to the extent of your ability.
 
Do not belittle the importance of correcting your wife if she does things that go against the Religion. This should be the main, if not the only reason that should cause you to become angry.
 
The woman is the head of the household, the one responsible for it. So do not attempt to meddle into affairs that do not fall into your area of duties and responsibilities, such as the food and the upkeep of the house.
 
Beware of scolding your wife in presence of others, even if they are your own children. For indeed that is unsuitable behavior that turn the hearts of people against each other.
 
Having protective jealousy and caring about the modesty of your wife is a praiseworthy thing, which shows your love for her. However it is on the condition that you do not go to great lengths in this jealousy. For then at that point, it would turn into something worthy of no praise.
 
Beware of divulging any secrets connected with the intimate encounters you have with your wife, for that is something restricted and forbidden.
 
Constantly maintain the cleaning of your mouth and the freshening of your breath.
 
Guardianship of your wife doesn't mean that you can exploit what Allah has bestowed upon you from taking charge of her, such that you harm and oppress her.
 
Showing respect and kindness to your wife's family is showing respect and kindness to her. And this applies even after her death.
 
Too much joking will lead to (your family having) little fear (of disobeying you) and a lack of respect for you. So do not joke too much and lose respect.
 
Fulfilling the conditions that you promised your wife in the marriage contract is very important.. So do not neglect that after getting married.
 
When you advise her or simply talk to her, choose the kindest and nicest of words and expressions. It is not proper for you to ask your wife to look for work outside the house or to spend upon you from her wealth.
 
Do not overburden your wife with chores that she is not able to handle. Consider, with extreme regard, the environment she was raised up in. Work in rural atmosphere is not like that in urban places. What a strong woman is prepared for and able to do, cannot be done by a weak woman.

How much of the Quran should I read daily to not be of the neglectful?

Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Mas?ood [Radhiallaahu anhu] that Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] mentioned, ?He who recites one Harf (letter) of the Qur?aan, he will receive one reward and one will be multiplied ten fold.? He further mentioned, ?I am not saying Alif-laam-meem is one letter, but alif is one letter, laam is one letter and maam is one letter.? (Tirmidhi)

 

This means that only for the recitation of Alif-laam-meem, one will get thirty rewards, and if one recites ?alhamd? he will get fifty rewards because it consists of five letters.

 

From the above narration, we learn the more Qur?aan recited by an individual, the more rewards one will attain. It was the practise of the Sahaaba [Radhiallahu anhum] that they used to complete one Qur?aan every week. For this, they have distributed the Qur?aan into seven parts which is known as Manzils or Ahzaab.

 

In the first century, the Qur?aan was distributed in Akhmaas and A?shaar.
Akhmaas ? after every five Aayaat on the side of the Qur?aan ?kh? was written.
A?shaar ? after every ten Aayaat on the side of the Qur?aan ?ashr? was written.

 

After a while, these signs were done away with and the Qur?aan was then distributed according to its subjects, composition and stories, etc. The distribution is called Rukus and on the side of the Qur?aan to signify a Ruku an ?ayn? is written. The idea of this distribution was so that the Qur?aan be distributed in a very moderate amount so that one may recite that amount in one Rakaat of Salaat. It is for this reason it is called Ruku because it is here where a person will go into Ruku. In the entire Qur?aan, there are 540 Rukus.

 

There is no specific amount for one to recite daily. However, one should remember ? the more he recites, the more reward he will attain.

 

Hadhrat Imaam Abu Hanifa [ra] has mentioned, ?It is the right of the Qur?aan, then we at least complete it twice every year. Once in the month of Ramadhaan and once in the remaining months of the year.?

 

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Deeds that wash away our sins

The following are some statements of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on what deeds could lead to forgiveness of our past and future sins. The statements were collected in the book Al-Bihar Az-Zakhirah fi Asbab Al-Maghfirah

1. Perfecting one's ablution
   "No worshipper perfects his ablution except that his past and future sins are forgiven." (Hasan, Al-Bazzar. Al-Haythami and Al-Mundhiri agreed upon.)
   
2. Fasting in Ramadan
   "Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and seeking Allah's reward then his past and future sins are forgiven." (Ahmad)
   
3. Night prayer in Ramadan
   "Whoever stands (in prayer) in Ramadan out of faith and seeking Allah's reward then his past and future sins are forgiven." (Sahih An-Nasa'i)
   
4. Night of Al-Qadr
   Laylat-ul-Qadr or the Night of Al-Qadr can be expected in the odd nights of the last 10 days of Ramadan. He who performs the night prayer in it out of belief and seeking Allah's reward his past and future sins are forgiven. (Ahmad)
   
5. Thanking Allah after eating and putting one's clothes on
   "Whoever ate food and then said, 'Praise be to Allah who has fed me this food and provided it for me, without any strength or power on my part', is forgiven his past (and future*) sins. And whoever wears a garment and says, 'Praise be to Allah who has clothed me with this (garment) and provided it for me, without any strength or power on my part', is forgiven his past and future sins." (Ibn Majah, Abu Dawood, Al-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i, and others)
   The addition marked by (*) is related by Abu Dawood. Sheikh Al-Albani declared it Hasan in Sahih Al-Jami (no. 6086).
   
6. Getting old in Islam
   "No one reaches 40 years in Islam except that Allah protects him from madness, leprosy and leucoderma. When he is 50, Allah makes his reckoning easy. When he reaches 60, Allah grants him repentance. And when he reaches 70, Allah loves him and the inhabitants of the heavens love him.
   And when he reaches 80, Allah accepts his good deeds and overlooks his sins. When he reaches 90, Allah forgives his past and future sins, and he is named 'the prisoner of Allah on earth' and is granted intercession (for forgiveness) for his family." (Hasan, Ibn Asakir. Ahmad Shakir said in his notes on Al-Musnad, 8/23, 25: "Its chain is at least Hasan. It is supported with other chains which raise it to the level of Sahih.")
   
7. Neither Ruqya nor belief in bad omens
   "I was told: 'These are your people and amongst them there are 70,000 who shall enter Paradise without being taken to either account or torment.' …'They are those who do not make Ruqya nor seek it, nor believe in bad omens, but trust in their Lord (Allah).'" (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
   
8. Patiently bearing children's death
   "Whoever buries three children, Allah will forbid the (Hell) Fire for him." (Sahih, Tabarani in Al-Kabeer, Al-Albani authenticated it in Sahih Al-Jami, no. 6238)
   "There are no two Muslim parents whose three children die before reaching puberty except that Allah will enter them into Paradise due to His mercy to the children.
   It will be said to them, 'Enter the Paradise,' so they will say, 'Not until our parents enter first.' It will be said, 'Enter the Paradise you and your parents.' (Ahmad and An-Nasa'i; Al-Albani authenticated it in Sahih Al-Jami, no. 5780)
   
   "Whoever remains content and patient after the death of three of his offspring will enter Jannah."
   
   A woman said, "What about two?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "And two." (Sahih, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Hibban; authenticated by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami, no. 5969)
   
9. Raising three daughters
   "There is no one from my Ummah who takes care of three daughters or three sisters, and is nice to them, except that they will be a screen (protection) for him from the Fire." (Sahih, Al-Bayhaqi and Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab, authenticated by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami, no. 5372)
   
10. Defending a Muslim's honor
    "Whoever defends the honor of his brother in absence has the right with Allah to be freed from the Fire." (Sahih, Ahmad and Al-Tabarani; authenticated by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami, no. 6240)
    
11. Sincerity to Allah
    No servant who says 'La ilaha ill Allah', seeking the pleasure of Allah, will reach the Day of Judgment, except that Allah will forbid the Fire for him. (Ahmad and Al-Bukhari) Hafidh Ibn Hajr said, "It's not like that (i.e. not entering the Fire at all) for everyone who believed in Tawheed and worshiped, but it is specific for the sincere, and sincerity (Ikhlas) requires the realization of its meaning by the heart. One cannot imagine that the heart will reach that while persisting in sins, as the heart would be filled with the love and fear of Allah, whereupon limbs will embark upon obedience and leave disobedience."
    
12. Crying out of fear of Allah
    "No man who cried out of fear of Allah will enter the Fire until the milk returns to the udder, and dust in the path of Allah (Jihad) and the smoke of the Fire cannot go together." (Ahmad, Al-Tirmidhi, and An-Nasa'i; authenticated by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami, no. 7778)
    
13. Congregational prayer for 40 days
    "Whoever prays to Allah for 40 days in congregation, reaching the opening Takbeer (Takbeer Al-Ihram), will have two (rewards)written for him: freedom from the Fire and freedom from hypocrisy." (Al-Tirmidhi, declared Hasan by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami, no. 6365)
    
14. Praying four Rak`at before and after Dhuhr
    "Whoever is consistent in praying four units of prayer before Dhuhr and four after it, Fire will be forbidden for him." (Sahih, Abu Dawood, An-Nasa'i, Al-Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah; authenticated by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami, no. 6195)
    
15. Praying before sunrise and after sunset
    "No one will enter Fire who prays before sunrise and after sunset." (Ahmad, Muslim, Abu Dawood, and An-Nasa'i; meaning: Fajr and Asr prayers)
    
16. Good character
    "Whoever is easy-going, easy to deal with and kindhearted, Allah will forbid the Fire for him." (Sahih, Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak, Al-Bayhaqi, Al-Tabarani; authenticated by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami, no. 6484)
