THIRD REMINDER. Yaumul Al-Sabt, 16th day of Shawwaal (Saturday, 30th June). THE MOST EFFECTIVE GOOD DEEDS IN EXPIATING OUR SINS continues. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Sheikh Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The greater a person’s Tawheed (affirmation of the Oneness of Allah), the more complete will Allah’s forgiveness of him be. Whoever meets HIM not associating anything with HIM at all, HE will forgive him all his sins, no matter what they were, and he will not be punished for them. Secondly: The words of ALLAH, “And whosoever fears ALLAH and keeps his duty to HIM, HE will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And HE will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine” [at-Talaaq 65:2] offer a great promise to the pious who fear ALLAH. The one who fears ALLAH is the one who fulfills obligatory duties and avoids things that are forbidden. That includes the one who sins, then repents and turns to ALLAH, and the one who goes back to sin, then repents from it again, because piety or fearing ALLAH, may HE be exalted, means doing what is enjoined and refraining from what is forbidden. If a person repents sincerely, his bad deeds will be expiated and turned into good deeds, as Allah, may HE be exalted, says: “And those who invoke not any other ilaah (god) along with ALLAH, nor kill such person as ALLAH has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. It is not stipulated that the pious one who fears ALLAH should be infallible and free of bad deeds, otherwise most people would be deprived of this honour and virtue. For every son of Aadam sins, and the best of those who sin are those who repent. The one who sins then repents is one of the pious for whom there is the hope of the promise mentioned in the verse quoted above. The grace of ALLAH is vast, and what matters is that each individual should focus on striving to be among the best through faith and good deeds. ALLAH alone Knows best. May ALLAH keep guiding us all till Jannat becomes our abode. 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...
