 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 16th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Sunday, 1st October, 2023). AN IMPORTANT CONDITION FOR OUR DUA OR SUPPLICATIONS TO BE ANSWERED BY ALLAH. BismilLah. 


Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah brothers and sisters in Islam. It's very important to note that our efforts to please ALLAH and for ALLAH to accept our prayers, supplications etc is heavily based on some conditions but more importantly ensuring our source of income is halaal. ALLAH says

“Verily, ALLAH accepts only from those who are Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)”[Al-Maa’idah 5:27]. from the tafseer or studies of this one verse and many of its kind in the Qur'an, it basically means ALLAH only accept from good source without any excuses. 


The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) stated that a response was unlikely for one who eats, drinks and wears haram things. In the hadeeth it says: [The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him)] mentioned the man who undertakes a lengthy journey  stretches his hands towards heaven saying, ‘O Lord, O Lord,’ when his food is haram, his drink is haram, his clothes are haram. He is nourished with haram, so how can he be granted a response? Narrated by Muslim, 1015. 

Why did the Prophet used a travelling person? Because a travelling persons dua is highly likely to be answered but imagine his sources of food, clothing etc is haraam, his dua would not be accepted. 

Ibn al-Qayyim said: Thus eating haram things saps the strength of the du`a and weakens it. If you gamble, cheat, steal, bet or work in haraam environment then please stop and fear death. May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. 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...
