SECOND REMINDER. FIRST REMINDER: Yaumul Ithnayn, 7th day of Sha'abaan (Monday, 23rd April). THE REALITY OF SINS. Bismillhir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAH (swt) says: “(O Mankind!) Leave sins, apparent and hidden. Verily, those who commit sins will get due recompense for that which they commit.” (Holy Quran, 6:120). In the above verse, ALLAH (SWT) has ordered that Mankind should abstain from all types of sins. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir). It is further mentioned, that no action should be performed which is against the pleasure of ALLAH (SWT). Nor should there be any doubts regarding the Deen of ALLAH(SWT), otherwise it will be regarded as a sins. Sins are those actions which are performed against the criteria of the HOLY QURAN and Sunnah. The example of a sin, is like that of a cancer. When cancer inflicts a body part, that part of the body is singled out and may need to be removed completely from the body. This is done to prevent the fatal spread of the cancer throughout the whole body. Therefore, whenever a sin is committed, the believer should immediately resort to repentance(Tauba). The Prophet (SAW) said: Refrain from sins which you may consider as minor, as you will be held accountable for them. (Ibn Majah and Baihaqi). Whenever the individual thinks that he or she is not being watched. Because of this mindset, it becomes very easy for that person to commit a sin. Remember! ALLAH (SWT) has highlighted this point in the Holy Quran: “Allah, is verily always watching over them. (Quran, 89:14). Whenever the individual thinks that no-one is aware of their actions. Remember! Allah (SWT) has already answered this in the Quran. “Allah knows the fraud of the eyes and all that the breasts conceal. (Holy Quran, 40:19). Whenever the individual thinks that no-one is beside/near them. When this thought comes to mind then it becomes a means of opening the doors of sin. Remember! Allah (SWT) has already answered this is the Holy Quran: “Allah is with you wherever you may be. And Allah is all-seer of what you do.” (Holy Quran, 57:4). Whenever the individual thinks that they cannot be held accountable by anyone, a sense of pride, this type of thinking increases the zeal in a person to commit sins. Remember! Allah (SWT) has already answered this is the Holy Quran: “Verily, the seizing of Allah (of the wrongdoers) is very painful and severe.” (Holy Quran, 11:102). Hafiz Ibn Qayim (rahimahullaah) stated: My friend! Do not look at sin in the manner of it being minor or major, look at it in the manner of the Majesty of the being whose orders you are disobeying (Allah SWT). Ata bin Abi Riba Tabiee (RAHIMAHULLAAH) stated: Whenever there is a deficiency in sustenance that is provided by Allah to an individual, he complains of this to the people. When that same person’s book of deeds, filled with sins comes before Allah (SWT), Allah (SWT) does not complain of this individual and his actions to the angels. But, Allah (SWT) waits for the moment that he will repent for his wrongdoings. Allahu Akbar. To be continued in shaa Allah. May ALLAH forgive us and keep guiding us all. 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, ...
