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. Yawmul ahad, 17th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Sunday. 16th Feb. 2025). THE TRUE MEANINGS OF THE WORD DEEN continues. BismilLah.  ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The MIGHTY and the MAJESTIC) has sent HIS Messenger with the true deen for the purpose of ending the sovereignty of all false gods and granting us immense freedom so that we live as servants of none but the LORD of the UNIVERSE, no matter how much the idolaters and polytheists may dislike or oppose such a course. Thus, these three meanings of deen stand out: To acknowledge ALLAH as the ONLY LORD, MASTER and RULER. To obey and serve ONLY HIM. To be accountable to HIM, to fear only HIS punishment and to covet only HIS reward. Deen also includes obedience to ALLAH'S Messengers. The commandments of ALLAH Azzawajal have been given to human beings through HIS books and HIS Messengers. ALLAH Azzawajal says; Children of Aadam! If there should come to you Messengers from among you, who convey MY revelations unto you, ...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ar-ba'a. 7th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Wednesday 20th January 2021). Who are Believers. BismilLah.  Lets check in  Suurah Al-Mu'minun (The Believers). ALLAH says; 1. Successful indeed are the believers.  2. Those who offer their Salaat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. 3. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that ALLAH has forbidden).  4. Those who pay the Zakat . 5. Those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) 6. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; etc ALLAH, the Most High, says “…for verily ALLAH is with those who believe.”[Al Qur’an 8:19] When ALLAH says that “HE is with the believers”, it means that the believers don’t need anyone else. Rasullulah(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said “Be mindful of ALLAH, and ALLAH will protect you. Be m...
