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.

 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...
