THIRD REMINDER. Yaumul Ithnayn, 26th/27th day of RAMADAAN (Monday 11th June). PRAISING OURSELVES IS HARAAM AND DANGEROUS ATTRIBUTE. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's continue from the first and second reminders. If you didn't receive any please request for a copy (those on Whatsapp). Remembering the punishment for pride and arrogance should help us avoid self praises. In a Hadeeth on the authority of Ibn Mas‘ood may ALLAH be pleased with him the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam informed that he who harbors pride in his heart, even equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, will not enter Paradise. [In Saheeh Muslim]. This is serious isn't it? Remembering that arrogance causes defeat and failure can also protect us from any form of pride and arrogance. ALLAH Says (what means): "And do not be like those who came forth from their homes insolently and to be seen by people. [Quran 8:47] this refers to the people of Quraysh when they went into the Battle of Badr. Do we want to be like them? Remembering that modesty, in contrast, results in might, honor and superiority. In a Hadeeth on the authority of Abu Hurayrah the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam stated that nobody becomes modest and humbles himself for the sake of ALLAH, but ALLAH raises and honors his status. ALLAHU AKBAR. Let's note that whatever we are able to do especially in helping our relatives and friends is because ALLAH chose to help them through us as such we MUST avoid claiming any credit but rather say AlhamdulilLah for aiding me to help others. By so doing, we block any chances of any satanic influences to aid us praise ourselves as he Satan did that caused him to be deported from JANNAT into hellfire. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
