SECOND REMINDER. Sunday. INVOCATION FOR ENTERING THE RESTROOM continues. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's discuss more about the ahadith quoted in the morning reminder. Firstly, his saying in the first Hadeeth, “Whenever the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, went to…” indicates adherence and keeping doing it (went to) means if he wants to enter and this is what was stated explicitly in the narration of Al-Bukhaari, may Allaah have mercy upon him: “Whenever the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, wants to enter…” It is like the saying of Allaah The Almighty: "So when you recite the Quran, [first] seek refuge in Allaah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].} [Quran 16: 89], meaning if one wants to recite Quran he should seek refuge in Allaah The Almighty. As for the open space, it refers to any place prepared for answering the call of nature such as in the bush, even if it is called water closet, toilet and the like. As for his saying (’A‘oothu billaah) it means seeking protection and refuge in Allaah from all evil things. As for his saying (…minal-khubthi walkhabaa’ith…), it is the plural of the Arabic word Khabeeth which refers to the male devils, and it was said, it may also refer to evil, Kufr (disbelief), and devil. As for Al-Khabaa’ith, it is the plural of Khabeethah which refers to the female devils. Secondly, this Hadeeth refers to the importance of Thikr (i.e. remembering Allaah The Almighty) in all places. Therefore, the Messenger of Allaah, peace and blessing be upon him, used to say this invocation before entering the toilet and sitting to answer the call of nature. That is because the places of answering the call of nature are the houses of the jinn and devils. Thus, the one who enters it should seek the refuge of Allaah The Almighty from such devils, be males or females. To be continued in shaa Allah. May Allah keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

 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...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-khamis, 30th day of Rajab 1446AH, Thursday. 30th Jan. 2025). MEANING OF ALLAH CREATING HUMANS IN HIS OWN IMAGE.  BismilLah. Unfortunately, other faiths have made a serious mistake in trying to compare The CREATOR, ALLAH Azzawajal with HIS Creation human beings in physical appearance, and that's blasphemy and serious error  Sheikh AbuAmina, in one of his articles, explained that, in Islam, we believe that all people have been created in the “image” of ALLAH Azzawajal. But what does this mean? ALLAH Azzawajal is the creator of everything, including all people. That people are in the “image of ALLAH Azzawajal” means they are in the form that HE, ALLAH Azzawajal has chosen and honored for them, not that they resemble ALLAH Azzawajal in physical appearance or share in the Divine Essence. Just as we say a righteous person is the “servant of ALLAH” and a mosque is the “house of ALLAH” as a way to honor them, likewise is it an added dignity for pe...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat and Yaumul Aashuura. 10th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Friday, 28th July, 2023). SPECIAL EID DAY FOR US ALL. BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah to you all. AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day. Today mark the day when ALLAH granted Musah alayhi salaam victory over Fir'awn. Today mark the day ALLAH humiliated HIS worse enemy on earth Fir'awn for his disbelief in ALLAH and claiming he was ALLAH. We are all fasting on this blessed day seeking forgiveness from ALLAH for our sins from last year till date as the Prophet sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam recommended.  Those who are unable to fast can still do much to earn lots of rewards especially our sisters and daughters in their monthly cycle. You can recite lots of azkaar and give sadaqah with your intention to seek forgiveness from ALLAH. Please remember today is Friday lets strive to go to Masjid early and also remember to send salutations to our...
