THIRD REMINDER: Yaumu Al-thalaatha, 4th day of Jumaadal Aakhir (Tuesday 20th February). IMPORTANCE OF BASMALAH (saying: Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem OR BismilLah). BismilLah. Let's continue from the second reminder; There are many narrations that emphasize the importance of the basmala. Some of them are as follows: Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “I have been revealed such a verse that has been revealed to no one but Prophet Solomon(Suleiman) alaihi salaam, the son of David and myself. This is ‘ Bismi’llahir-Rahmani’r-Rahim. Allahu Akbar. As reported the Prophet said, “Any action that is not started with Bismi’llahir-Rahmani’r-Rahim has no divine gift in it, it will not last long and it is without foundation. In another narration, the Prophet said: “Satan would certainly regard any meal that is not started with Bismi’llah as his own.” The fact that the basmala is repeated at the beginning of every chapter and in various hadiths indicates the importance of this phrase. It is regarded as a summary of the Qur’an. ALLAH has revealed universal realities through various Prophets since humankind first came to the earth. These realities are also included in the Qur’an, which is the last Divine Book. The Qur’an is summarized in Sura al-Fatiha, while the chapter is summarized in the phrase Bismi’llah. Hence, the basmala can be regarded to be a spiritual connection between all Prophets and Books. Alhamdulillah. 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...
