THIRD REMINDER. Yaumu Al-Khamis, 5th day of Jumaadal Aakhir (22nd February). NON MUSLIMS DO ASKED, WHY ALLAH USES PLURAL "WE" SOMETIMES INSTEAD OF SINGULAR "I". Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's continue with our topic today. Now lets analyse some few verses when ALLAH uses the word "I". Allah says in Chapter 21 Surah Anbiyaa Verse 92-93: Indeed, this community of yours is one community, and I AM YOUR LORD: so worship ME alone. Allah says in Chapter 15 Surah Al-Hijr verst 49-50: O Prophet (saws)! Tell MY servants, " I am very Forgiving and Merciful, but at the same time MY chastisement is also very severe."Now here Allah is taking a very merciful attitude towards HIS servants, as if HE is talking to you personally! This is as if it is a personal commandment and message to each individual. What needs to be noted above is the amount of love and mercy the Merciful is coming towards us, as opposed to the verses when HE uses "WE" from a Majestic position. Thus here and many other verses when the Merciful uses the pronoun "I", you will generally note that these verses are either to do with HIS worship, HIS guidance, HIS Mercy, HIS rewards and HIS punishments towards HIS slaves. When the Merciful uses the pronoun "WE", you will note that here HE normally comes as a Majestic Ruler and talks about the creation of the universe, the revelation of the Quran and other Scriptures, destruction of a dis-believing community, etc. Here HIS attitude is impersonal and of a Majestic Nature. Both "I" and "WE" could be interchangebly used, without changing the meaning of the verse, but when ALLAH wants a message or commandment to reach each individual's heart, HE comes with an extreme merciful attitude and talks as if HE is talking personally to each and every individual. But at no time does HE indicate in the whole Quran that the WE is supposed to be plural or there is somebody else with HIM. Allah is One, Alone, Only, and Unique.. and HE alone deserves our worship. May Allah keep guiding us all in this Straight Path of Islam. Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of RAJAB (Saturday 29th of February, 2020). LETS BE MINDFUL OF THESE BAD HABITS IN LIFE. BismilLah. Let's remind  ourselves that ALLAH does not love stubborn rejectors of faith, committing sins, and showing ingratitude. ALLAH says: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ Verily, ALLAH does not love the unbelievers. Qur'an 3:32. Why? Bcs their disbelief in ALLAH and HIS Messenger only grant them the Hellfire. And ALLAH says: وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ ALLAH does not love any ungrateful sinner. Quran 2:276. ALLAH does not love arrogance, pride, boasting to one another, extravagance, and exultation in wrongdoing. ALLAH says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا Verily, ALLAH does not love those who are proud and boastful. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. These few are more than enough to aid us to fear these bad acts in our lives. We ask ALLAH to make us among those who are loved by HIM and who are...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 25th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Thursday 16th February. 2023). TOLERANCE WITH PEOPLE IN ISLAM. BismilLaah.  Tolerance (samah) is an important trait of a Muslim’s good character. We Muslims should be kind and gentle, patient with people, forgiving of bad character, and lenient whenever possible. The Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam commanded us to avoid causing unnecessary difficulty and hardship in people’s lives and to inspire people with graceful speech. Make things easy and do not make things difficult. Give glad tidings and do not repel people. Cooperate with each other and do not become divided. Sahih Bukhari 2873, Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi. This command is closely related to the need of a Muslim to control his or her anger. Unrestrained anger leads to numerous sins and bad deeds, so Muslims must temper their anger with patience, tolerance, and the ability to hold back harmful words. Teasing, mockery, insults to others et...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 17th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Saturday 30th January 2021). A SERIOUS CONDITION TO FULFILL FOR ALLAH TO ANSWER OUR DUA. BismilLah Consuming haraam wealth is one of the major reason why du’aa’s are not answered. Abu Hurayrah (may ALLAAH be pleased with him) said: the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: “O people, ALLAAH is Good and only accepts that which is good. ALLAAH commanded the pious to follow the same commandments as HE gave to the Messengers. HE says; ‘O (you) Messengers! Eat of the Tayyibaat [all kinds of Halaal (lawful) foods which ALLAAH has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables, fruits)] and do righteous deeds. Verily, I am Well-Acquainted with what you do’ [al-Mu’minoon 23:51]. ‘O you who believe (in the Oneness of ALLAAH, Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that I have provided you with’ [al-Baqarah 2:172]. Another important point is to rea...
