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. 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, ...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ar-ba'a. 7th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Wednesday 20th January 2021). Who are Believers. BismilLah.  Lets check in  Suurah Al-Mu'minun (The Believers). ALLAH says; 1. Successful indeed are the believers.  2. Those who offer their Salaat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. 3. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that ALLAH has forbidden).  4. Those who pay the Zakat . 5. Those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) 6. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; etc ALLAH, the Most High, says “…for verily ALLAH is with those who believe.”[Al Qur’an 8:19] When ALLAH says that “HE is with the believers”, it means that the believers don’t need anyone else. Rasullulah(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said “Be mindful of ALLAH, and ALLAH will protect you. Be m...
