SECOND REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 14th day of Shawwaal (Thursday 28th June). KUFUR (DISBELIEF) AND ITS VARIOUS FORMS. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's continue from the first Reminder; The scholars based on their study of the Quran and Sunnah has divided kufr into a number of categories, under which they listed many forms and kinds of shirk. These are as follows: 1. The kufr of denial and rejection. This kufr may sometimes take the form of disbelief in the heart which occurs rarely among the kuffaar, as Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said and sometimes it takes the form of outward or apparent rejection, which means concealing the truth and not submitting to it outwardly, whilst recognizing it and knowing it inwardly, such as the Jews’ rejection of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). ALLAH says of them (interpretation of the meaning): “...then when there came to them that which they had recognized, they disbelieved in it...” [Al-Baqarah 2:89]. He also said (interpretation of the meaning]: “Those whom ALLAH have given the Book, recognize him as they recognize their sons, and a party of them most surely conceal the truth while they know (it)” [Al-Baqarah 2:146]. That is because rejection only happens which a person knows the truth and refuses it. Hence ALLAH stated that the kuffaar’s disbelief in the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was not disbelief in the true sense of the word, because their disbelief was only outward and verbal, and inwardly they recognized the truth. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “....it is not you that they deny, but it is the Verses (the Qur’aan) of ALLAH that the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers) deny” [Al-An’aam 6:33]. “And they belied them (those Ayaat) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were convinced thereof....” [An-Naml 27:14]. Similar to this is the kufr of permitting that which is forbidden. Whoever regards as permissible something which he knows that Islam has forbidden has disbelieved in the Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and in that which he brought. The same applies to one who forbids something which he knows that Islam has permitted. To be continued in shaa ALLAAH. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. 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...

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...
