SECOND REMINDER. Yaum Al-Sabt, 9th day of Shawwal (Saturday, 23rd June). OFFERING SALUTATIONS [Salawaat] ON OUR BELOVED PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam), IT'S MERIT and EXCELLENCE. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's continue from the first reminder. Please request for a copy if you couldn't receive it. Aayah 56 of Surah Ahzaab says: “Indeed ALLAH and HIS angels send blessings on the Prophet. O you who believe, you should ask and send blessings and peace on him.” Allah’s showering blessings on HIS Messenger means that HE, ALLAH is very kind to HIS Prophet. HE praises him, blesses his work, exalts his name, and showers HIS mercies on him. Blessings of the angels mean: Angels love the Prophet most dearly and pray to ALLAH to bless him with the highest ranks in Paradise, cause his religion and Shari’ah to flourish and exalt him to the laudable position. In our invocation we mean: “Yaa ALLAH (SWT), the Lord of the worlds: just as your Prophet has done us countless and endless favors, so do You also show him endless and limitless mercy; raise him to the highest ranks in this world and bless him with the greatest nearness to Yourself in the Hereafter.” please note that the Prophet doesn't need this from us as a favour but he is doing us a favour to earn the rewards of ALLAH and HIS Angels praises on him that's why it is recommended after praising ALLAH to praise the Prophet the sunnah way (Salaat Alan Nabi). Abu Muhammad Ka’b bin Ujrah (RA) said that the companions submitted to the Prophet (SallallahuAlaihe Wasallam): “Yaa Rasuul ALLAH, we already knew how to greet you (i.e., saying Assalaamu Alaikum), but how should we invoke blessings upon you?” In his reply The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) asked them to recite salawaat as follows; Allah humma salli alaa muhammad wa-alaa aali muhammad kamaa sallaita alaa Ibraaheem wa alaa aali Ibraheem inna ka hameedum majeed. Allah hummabarik ala muhammad wa ala aali muhammad kamaa baarakta alaa Ibraaheem wa alaa aali Ibraheem inna ka hameedum majeed. Meaning "O Allah, let Your Blessings come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious"[Bukhari and Muslim]. There are other narrated forms that are all permissible in case you come across them but the above is the best to recite regularly seeking your share of blessings from ALLAH. We ask ALLAH to reward our little efforts and heal our hearts from any sorrows and grant us our wish. 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...
