THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 13th day of SAFAR 1440, (Monday 22nd October, 2018). OUR HEART DESIRES MAY BE OUR DOOM. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. As Muslims it's important we keep reminding each other about our ways of life as ALLAH says reminding only benefit believers. My reminder this morning to you and to myself is to remember that, this earth is a temporal place of abode, we will all die soon no doubt about that. Over 100 died yesterday, over 100 died this morning and over 100 may die before you finish reading this reminder. It could be you or me so why not live our life like a traveller who is resting under a tree, do you think he will be spending his entire time thinking about something else other than his journey ahead? Let's focus in our obedience to Allah. Our desires which aid us to fornicate, steal, envy, backbite etc can only cause us into hell fire. We will die and leave the money we are all chasing and it will become halaal for others whilst we account for how we acquired it. Let me share this hadith to end this reminder. Sheikh Abu Huraira may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When ALLAH created Paradise and Hellfire, HE sent Gabriel to Paradise saying: Observe it and what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants. Gabriel came to it and observed it and what ALLAH had prepared therein for its inhabitants. He returned to ALLAH and he said: By your glory, no one will hear of it without entering it. ALLAH ordered that it be surrounded by hardship and HE said: Return to it and observe what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants. Gabriel returned and found that it was surrounded by hardship. He returned to Allah and he said: By your glory, I fear that no one will be able to enter it. ALLAH said: Go to the Hellfire and observe it and what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants. Gabriel found that it was in layers, one above the other. He returned to Allah and he said: By your glory, no one who hears of it will enter it. ALLAH ordered that it be surrounded by desires and he said: Return to it. Gabriel returned and he said: By your glory, I fear that no one will be able to escape it. Source: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2560. We've been warned that our selfish haraam desires can only deviate us into hell fire but with little efforts within our belief system, ALLAH may reward us with HIS PARADISE. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and grant us Jannat by HIS Rahmah or MERCY. 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...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 29th day of Rajab, 1445AH (Saturday, 10th February 2024). SOME PROPHETIC TEACHINGS BEFORE GOING TO BED. Bismillah. Before climbing onto bed anytime of the day or night, dust the bed thrice with the corner of any clothe. Clean your teeth with Miswaak if possible or with brush and paste. Be in a state of wuduu. Sleep on the right side of your body facing the Qibla with the right hand underneath the head like a pillow and with the knees slightly bent.  Recite Aayatul Kursy and the last three chapters (Al-Ikhlaas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas) of the Quran, dry blow air to your palms then wipe over your entire body as much as possible, beginning with your head and face and then all parts of the body, do this 3 times if you can or atleast once whenever you are feeling lazy like myself sometimes😊. It's sunnah from the Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Don't forget to offer your witir Salaat before sleeping or offer your two rakaats sha...
