THIRD REMINDER. Thursday. Why does Allah(SWT) at times speak in the plural form in the Quran Using ''WE'' continues. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Please read the first/second Reminder first before this one. If you missed any, please request for a copy or visit www.islamicdailyreminder.blogspot.com. From all verses quoted in the first and second Reminders, we may have noticed that whenever ALLAH speaks from a position of Majesty, the words WE are used in HIS communique. Now lets analyse a few verses when HE uses the words "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 (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)! Tell MY servants, I (Allah) 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.... I am your Lord, so worship ME ALONE. or ... tell MY servants, I am very Forgiving and Merciful and at the same time MY chastisement is also very severe... What needs to be noted above is the amount of love and mercy the Merciful is coming towards us, as opposed to the aayats 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 guide us all to the 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...

FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul ahad, 11th day of Shawwal (Sunday 23rd May 2021). * _ This may not be true story from a friend but very true and sad reality of our modern world _ * . BismilLah. “The house where I lived was about to be seized, just because I could not pay the rent. I tried to get help from all relatives I know but all saying they don't have so I posted my situation on Facebook looking for help, but all I could get is 2 "I like" and zero comment. So I sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting a loan of N5000. Unfortunately only 10 people responded. 6 out of 10 said they could not help me. And only 1 out of 4 who promised to help me and gave me some money less than I needed. The other 3 gave me no excuse and never answered my calls. In the end, I was ejected. I became homeless. I did not have a place to sleep. I walked in the dark looking for options and, unfortunately, a thief stole my empty purse with my ID. He was badly hit by a car in high speed as he fle...
