THIRD REMINDER. Yaum Ar-Raaba'a 28th/29th day of Ramadhan (Wednesday, 13th June). SOME RECOMMENDED ACTS AFTER RAMADAAN. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam encouraged us to fast on Mondays and Thursdays as our deeds weekly are presented or account to ALLAH on Mondays and Thursdays and it's good to be fasting for Allah sake. Fasting 3 days of each Islamic month termed the white days which falls or 13th, 14th and 15th or 14th, 15th and 16th each Islamic month. You may also want to set yourself the goal of trying to recite more of the Quran, as you did so fervently in Ramadan. So by doing this you will be doing what the Prophet did. It is also one of our Prophet traditions to fast for any six days during the month of Shawwal, the month which follows Ramadan, except of course during the Eid days when we must not fast. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that: “Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days from Shawwal it is as if they fasted the entire year.” (Saheeh Muslim, 1164). Let's strive to continue after Eid for the 6 days and those owing in Ramadan should start fasting as soon as possible before adding the 6 days that's better even though we can pay our fasting debts later but what about if you die? Don't delay it please. Plan ahead. So if you feel that you can do this extra fasting you will straight away be carrying on the good deeds of Ramadan and you will be imitating the best of men (peace be upon him). In fasting these extra days throughout the year we are reminded of what we did in Ramadan and this in itself will encourage us to do more, in shaa Allah. May Allah aid us through. Aameen.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 9th day of Muharram (Friday 28th August 2020). ACTS THAT CAN EARN US PARADISE. BismilLah.  As Muslims we must always learn and implement actions that can earn us the Pleasure of ALLAH our CREATOR in return for HIS Paradise awaiting HIS sincere servants.  Some of the things that can get us closer to ALLAH are , fasting regularly, Obedience to ALLAH, HIS Messenger, Our Parents etc. following funeral procession of a Muslim, feeding poor people, visiting sick people regularly etc.  Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu 'anhu) reported, that ALLAH'S Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: “Who is fasting today?” Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) (again) said: Who has followed a funeral procession today? Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam - the Holy Prophet) again said: Who amongst you has served food to the needy today Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu ...
 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...
