THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 16th day of SAFAR 1440, (Thursday 25th October, 2018). LESSONS FROM SUURAH An-NAS (QURAN 114) AND A BRIEF ADVISE. BismilLah. In one of his short talk, Sheikh Nouman Khan reflects and extracts some lessons from Suurah An-Nas (the 114th Chapter of the Qur’an). He began his talk by raising a simple question which is, who is the biggest victim of Satan (shaytan)? In the Qur’an, a lot of bad people are mentioned. Pharaoh comes in the second rank after Satan. Then, he raises another question that is, what are the three names of Allah in the Surah? 1- Rabb An-Nas (Master of the people) 2- Malik An-Nas (King of the people) 3- Illah An-Nas (God of people) The Almighty Allah (The Most High) has mentioned what (Fir`awn) Pharaoh said about himself in the Qur’an: 1- “I am your most exalted Lord.” (An-Nazi`at 79:24). So, Pharaoh said: “I am a ‘rabb’.” He (Pharaoh) attributed to himself the biggest waswasah (whisperings) of shaytan which is supposed to be an attribute of ALLAH (The Most Perfect Power). After that, Sheikh Nouman raises other questions concerning Satan: what was the biggest problem of shaytan? What is the biggest thing that he can instill inside a human being? It is arrogance. What is the worst manifestation of arrogance? It is Fir`awn (Pharaoh). My reminder today is to remind us of how satan can easily aid us to commit shirk without even realising it and ALLAH (THE CREATOR) offered us this great suurah to aid us against such satanic plot. Nowadays, people do not say what Pharaoh said about himself that he is god over people. Instead, one declares “I am god over myself”, saying, “I am my own master.” In other words, their desires become their master. The Almighty Allah (The Most MERCIFUL) says: Have you seen he who has taken as his god his own desire…? (Al-Jathiyah 45:23). This is serious isn't it? Pride and arrogance are two words that can cause us to follow this footsteps of Satan so let's be submissive in all we do. If you are the boss of any establishment, your apprentice are aware of that. Don't be too commanding reminding them you are the boss and you do what you like Astaqfirullah!!! No please, you can't do as you like, you must treat others as ALLAH commanded us to treat those under us and that's to know you yourself is a servant of ALLAH (ArRazzaaq, The Provider). May ALLAH, the most Gracious keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of RAJAB (Saturday 29th of February, 2020). LETS BE MINDFUL OF THESE BAD HABITS IN LIFE. BismilLah. Let's remind  ourselves that ALLAH does not love stubborn rejectors of faith, committing sins, and showing ingratitude. ALLAH says: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ Verily, ALLAH does not love the unbelievers. Qur'an 3:32. Why? Bcs their disbelief in ALLAH and HIS Messenger only grant them the Hellfire. And ALLAH says: وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ ALLAH does not love any ungrateful sinner. Quran 2:276. ALLAH does not love arrogance, pride, boasting to one another, extravagance, and exultation in wrongdoing. ALLAH says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا Verily, ALLAH does not love those who are proud and boastful. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. These few are more than enough to aid us to fear these bad acts in our lives. We ask ALLAH to make us among those who are loved by HIM and who are...

FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul ahad, 11th day of Shawwal (Sunday 23rd May 2021). * _ This may not be true story from a friend but very true and sad reality of our modern world _ * . BismilLah. “The house where I lived was about to be seized, just because I could not pay the rent. I tried to get help from all relatives I know but all saying they don't have so I posted my situation on Facebook looking for help, but all I could get is 2 "I like" and zero comment. So I sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting a loan of N5000. Unfortunately only 10 people responded. 6 out of 10 said they could not help me. And only 1 out of 4 who promised to help me and gave me some money less than I needed. The other 3 gave me no excuse and never answered my calls. In the end, I was ejected. I became homeless. I did not have a place to sleep. I walked in the dark looking for options and, unfortunately, a thief stole my empty purse with my ID. He was badly hit by a car in high speed as he fle...
