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...

BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah to you all. AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day.

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.
