THIRD REMINDER. Yaumul Al-Sabt, 16th day of Shawwaal (Saturday, 30th June). THE MOST EFFECTIVE GOOD DEEDS IN EXPIATING OUR SINS continues. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Sheikh Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The greater a person’s Tawheed (affirmation of the Oneness of Allah), the more complete will Allah’s forgiveness of him be. Whoever meets HIM not associating anything with HIM at all, HE will forgive him all his sins, no matter what they were, and he will not be punished for them. Secondly: The words of ALLAH, “And whosoever fears ALLAH and keeps his duty to HIM, HE will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And HE will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine” [at-Talaaq 65:2] offer a great promise to the pious who fear ALLAH. The one who fears ALLAH is the one who fulfills obligatory duties and avoids things that are forbidden. That includes the one who sins, then repents and turns to ALLAH, and the one who goes back to sin, then repents from it again, because piety or fearing ALLAH, may HE be exalted, means doing what is enjoined and refraining from what is forbidden. If a person repents sincerely, his bad deeds will be expiated and turned into good deeds, as Allah, may HE be exalted, says: “And those who invoke not any other ilaah (god) along with ALLAH, nor kill such person as ALLAH has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. It is not stipulated that the pious one who fears ALLAH should be infallible and free of bad deeds, otherwise most people would be deprived of this honour and virtue. For every son of Aadam sins, and the best of those who sin are those who repent. The one who sins then repents is one of the pious for whom there is the hope of the promise mentioned in the verse quoted above. The grace of ALLAH is vast, and what matters is that each individual should focus on striving to be among the best through faith and good deeds. ALLAH alone Knows best. May ALLAH keep guiding us all till Jannat becomes our abode. 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...
