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.

 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...
