THIRD EVENING. Yaumul Ithnayn, 7th day of Sha'abaan (Monday, 23rd April). THE REALITY OF SINS continues. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Imam Abu Hanifa (rahimahullaah) stated: When somebody praises you, then in reality they are praising ALLAH (SWT). For it is due to the Mercy of ALLAH (SWT) that he has kept your sins hidden from the eyes of people. If sins had a stench, then no-one would even come near you! When you commit a sin, you take great care of the small children that may be around, yet you have no thought of ALLAH Most High!? When committing a sin you close all those doors from which people may not be able to see you. However, you cannot close that door from which ALLAH is always watching you. A Tabiee (RAH) is recorded as saying: I have experienced, that whenever I happen to disobey any order of Allah (SWT) I get the recompense of disobedience from my wife, children, servants and even the animals I own. Allah (SWT) says: Whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. (Holy Quran, 42:30) When a person happens to sin, Allah (SWT) prepares 4 witnesses for him 1. The Earth is made a witness on the Day of Qiyamah to the sin perpetrated on its back: “That day (The Earth) will declare its information (good and bad that happened over it)” (Holy Quran 99:4). 2. The body parts of an individual will bear witness against the individual on the Day of Qiyamah: “This day (Qiyamah) we shall seal up their mouths, and their hands will speak to us, and their legs will bear witness to what they used to earn.” (Holy Quran, 36:65). 3. The Angels will bear witness on the Day of Qiyamah: “Verily, appointed over you are angels to watch over you, honourable and writing down your deeds, they know all that you do.” (Holy Quran, 82:10-12). 4. The Book of Deeds will bear witness to their actions on the Day of Qiyamah: “ And when the pages of the book of deeds (of every person) shall be laid open.” (Holy Quran, 81:10) One day Umar bin Khattab (RA) was reading this verse of the Holy Quran and the reality of the verse dawned upon him, he lost consciousness and was bed-ridden for several days. Many of the pious predecessors, used to read the following verse and cry all night saying “O Allah, what will be our condition be on that day?!” “The Day when all the secrets will be examined (as to their truth).” (Holy Quran, 86:9) The remedy for sins is only in sincere reptenance Allah (SWT) says: “O you who Believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance …” (Holy Quran, 66:8). May Allah (SWT) forgive all our sins through HIS Mercy and include us amongst his pious sevants. 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...

Before climbing onto bed anytime of the day or night, dust the bed thrice with the corner of any clothe. Clean your teeth with Miswaak if possible or with brush and paste. Be in a state of wuduu.

It's sunnah from the Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Don't forget to offer your witir Salaat before sleeping or offer your two rakaats sha...
