THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 15th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1440, (Thursday, 22nd November, 2018). TAQWA (CONSCIOUSNESS OF ALLAH) IS OUR TOPIC TODAY. Bismillah Taqwa or Consciousness of ALLAH (Al-Khaaliq, The Creator), is one of the most important concepts found in the Qur’an and sunnah (teachings of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam). It could be described as the foundation of the religion. It has been the command of ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic) for all of the Messengers from Aadam to Jesus Christ Peace be upon them then to the final MESSENGER Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam: ALLAH says in the Qur'an; “To ALLAH belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth. ALLAH ADVISED or Commanded the people of the Scripture(Jews and Christians) *BEFORE YOU * and you also [O Muslims] to have taqwa of ALLAH [CONSCIOUSNESS of ALLAH and keep your duty to Him].” (Surah al-Nisaa:131). ALLAH (Al-Hamid, The All Praiseworthy) informs us about the happy people and what HE has prepared for them of esteem, and eternal pleasure. A6llah says in Qur'an 75:31 going, [إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازاً ] (Verily, for those who have Taqwa, there will be a success;) Ibn `Abbas said, "A place of enjoyable recreation.'' [حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـباً - وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَاباً ] (And vineyards, and Kawa`ib Atrab,) meaning, wide-eyed maidens with fully developed breasts. Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and others have said, (Kawa`ib) "This means round breasts. They meant by this that the breasts of these girls will be fully rounded and not sagging, because they will be virgins, equal in age. This means that they will only have one age.'' [وَكَأْساً دِهَاقاً ] (And a cup Dihaq.) Ibn `Abbas said, "Continuously filled.'' (Dihaq) "This means completely filled.'' Then ALLAH says, [لاَّ يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْواً وَلاَ كِذَباً ] (No Laghw shall they hear therein, nor lying;) meaning, there will not be any vain, worthless speech therein, nor any sinful lying. Rather, it will be the abode of peace, and everything that is in it will be free of any shortcomings. Allah then says, [جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَاباً ] (Rewarded from your Lord with a sufficient gift.) meaning, `this that We have mentioned to you is what ALLAH will reward them with, and they will be given it by HIS favor and from HIM. It will be a kindness, mercy, gift, and recompense from Him. It will be sufficient, suitable, comprehensive and abundant. Let's note that Whoever wants a companion, ALLAH is enough for him! Whoever wants a proof, Quran is enough for him! Whoever wants a warning, death is enough for him! Whoever wants wealth, contentment is enough for him! And whoever these are not enough for, then hell fire will be enough for such person." May ALLAH forbid. May ALLAH (Al-Walee, The Protecting Friend, Patron and Helper) protect us from the torment of the hellfire and punishment of the grave and keep guiding our faith in HIM till we meet HIM in Jannat. 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...
