THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 17th day of Muharram 1440, (Thursday 27th September, 2018). PURIFICATION OF OUR INTENTIONS. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whoever wants to be heard of, Allah will make him be heard of, and whoever wants to be seen, Allah will display him.” [Sahih Muslim]. This hadith is a serious reminder to us to purify our intentions. ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) will give us what we desire: if it is fame we want, we will get it, if it is society’s praise we desire, it will be ours. But the utility of this fame and praise will end with our deaths and we will be humiliated by ALLAH to a larger gathering than we tiny human beings. The only things that will help us then are the deeds we did seeking the Face of ALLAH (The One and ONLY Power worthy of our, worship, praise and thanks).  We must keep checking our hearts to determine why we are doing things. We must also continue to ask ALLAH(subhana wa ta’ala) for HIS help in purifying our intentions (Niyyah). If whatever you are doing has no connection to please ALLAH then you are wasting your previous time so let's fear ALLAH and the day we die to account for our deeds. Remember what ALLAH said in Quran that we will be busy searching for money, power etc till death separate us from these money and power. Our days are numbered so let's fear death and purify our intentions towards success of the hereafter or the life after death. May our deeds not be a mirage; that they appear wonderful from a distance but close up, on the Day of Judgement, don’t exist because they were not done for Allah’s pleasure. May Allah have mercy on us from such a mess. 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...

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...
