THIRD REMINDER: Yaumu Al-Khamis, 5th day of Rajab (Thursday, 22nd March). LET'S STRIVE TO BE GOOD PRACTICING MUSLIM NOT JUST A MUSLIM BY NAME. LETS SHARE AND ASK QUESTIONS. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Having fear and hope in ALLAH is a good character to make us good muslims. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from ALLAH except the disbelieving people. (Surah Yusuf 12:87). One must be hopeful of ALLAH'S mercy and forgiveness and fearful of His punishment. It is this fear that should lead one to seek ALLAH'S forgiveness with hope. ALLAH says: "Know that ALLAH is severe in punishment and that ALLAH is Forgiving and Merciful. (Surat al-Maaidah 5:98) In the above verse, ALLAH gives us reason to fear because HIS punishment is justly severe, as well as good reason to have hope, since HE is the Most Forgiving and Merciful. There should be a balance between fear and hope and not too much or too less of one or the other. We should always remain between fear and hope. For, the right and the approved kind of fear is that which acts as a barrier between the slave and the things forbidden by ALLAH. But, if fear is excessive, then the possibility is that the man will fall into despair and pessimism. On the other hand the approved state of optimism is of a man who does good in the light of the Shari'ah and is hopeful of being rewarded for it. Or, conversely, if a man committed a sin, he repents sincerely, and is hopeful of being forgiven. ALLAH (swt) said: "Verily, those who believed, and those who migrated and fought in the way of ALLAH, it is they who are hopeful of ALLAH'S mercy. And ALLAH is very Forgiving, very Merciful." (Al-Baqarah, 218). Fear and hope, both should be equally proportioned in our hearts, in our worship, and in our dua to ALLAH. ALLAH says: Call out to HIM with fear and hope. (Surat al-Araaf 7:56). They forsake their beds to call their Lord in fear and hope. (Surat as-Sajdah 32:16). Please remember me in your dua before breaking your fasting today. May ALLAH aid us through our effort to get closer to HIM. 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...
