SECOND REMINDER. Yaumu Al-Khamis, 5th day of Jumaadal Aakhir (22nd February). NON MUSLIMS DO ASKED, WHY ALLAH USES PLURAL "WE" SOMETIMES INSTEAD OF SINGULAR "I". Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's continue with our topic today. The question asked above is indeed a very very interesting one and one deserving of deep thought. Many non Muslims including some Muslims think that the English translated QUR'AN is same or similar to the original Arabic QUR'AN. That's a big mistake. ALL translations are subject to errors and misinterpretation. Arabic is a rich language and no English word can do justice to any Arabic word. You need to study Arabic grammar and text context as revealed to be able to understand each verse. First lets get one thing clear. And that is the message of Tauheed; Oneness of GOD(ALLAH) in Islam. That is the primary message of the HOLY QURAN and the same message was brought by every Prophet of ALLAH who ever came to this earth, starting from Aadam upto the Last Messenger Mohammed (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Allah says in Chapter 112, Surah Ikhlas Verse 1-4: Say: HE is ALLAH, the One and Only. ALLAH is Independent of all, and all are dependent on HIM. Neither has HE any offspring, nor is HE the offspring of anyone; and NONE is equal to HIM in rank and anything else. There is only One God, and HE Alone deserves to be worshipped, HIS name in Arabic is ALLAH. Everything else in creation are created by HIM alone! They are all dependent on HIM and there is nothing, I repeat, absolutely nothing like HIM at all. Allah says in the Holy Quran, Chapter 50 Surah Qaf verse 38: WE have created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them in six period, and no fatigue overcame US. Again in Chapter 21 Surah Anbiyaa Verse 30-33: Have not the people, who have disbelieved the Message, ever considered this: the heavens and the earth were at first one mass; then WE parted them, and created every living thing from water. Please note that in the above verses, Allah is talking from a Majestic and Authorative position, thus the words WE are used, instead of I. This is a common phenomena, even in this world. The kings and rulers of this world normally use the word WE, when they issue a decree or a general order. Now we must realize, that Allah, HE is the Creator of all these kings and emperors, HE is the King of kings!! HE is sole Master of the whole Universe!! HE alone is the Creator, Owner, and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. Thus whenever HE speaks from a position of Majesty, the words WE are used in His communique. The Arabic word used is NAHNU which has two meanings, plural of respect or majestic and plural in numerical. So when ALLAH uses Nahnu, HE is not referring to HE and someone else but rather in Authority. In some instances when ALLAH is talking about death and how the soul is talking Nahnu is used in numerical represent Angels of death taken part as to how the soul is taken from our body. To be coantinued in Shaa ALLAH on verses that uses I so that you can understand my point. 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. Yawmul ahad, 17th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Sunday. 16th Feb. 2025). THE TRUE MEANINGS OF THE WORD DEEN continues. BismilLah.  ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The MIGHTY and the MAJESTIC) has sent HIS Messenger with the true deen for the purpose of ending the sovereignty of all false gods and granting us immense freedom so that we live as servants of none but the LORD of the UNIVERSE, no matter how much the idolaters and polytheists may dislike or oppose such a course. Thus, these three meanings of deen stand out: To acknowledge ALLAH as the ONLY LORD, MASTER and RULER. To obey and serve ONLY HIM. To be accountable to HIM, to fear only HIS punishment and to covet only HIS reward. Deen also includes obedience to ALLAH'S Messengers. The commandments of ALLAH Azzawajal have been given to human beings through HIS books and HIS Messengers. ALLAH Azzawajal says; Children of Aadam! If there should come to you Messengers from among you, who convey MY revelations unto you, ...
  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ar-ba'a. 7th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Wednesday 20th January 2021). Who are Believers. BismilLah.  Lets check in  Suurah Al-Mu'minun (The Believers). ALLAH says; 1. Successful indeed are the believers.  2. Those who offer their Salaat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. 3. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that ALLAH has forbidden).  4. Those who pay the Zakat . 5. Those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) 6. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; etc ALLAH, the Most High, says “…for verily ALLAH is with those who believe.”[Al Qur’an 8:19] When ALLAH says that “HE is with the believers”, it means that the believers don’t need anyone else. Rasullulah(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said “Be mindful of ALLAH, and ALLAH will protect you. Be m...
