THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Sabt, 17th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1440, (Saturday, 24th November, 2018). THE MEANING OF IBAADAH IN ISLAM . BismilLah. In Islam, Ibaadah basically means all aspects of worship and in essence, all our Islamic ways of life must be within the shariah meaning how ALLAH and HIS Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam has commanded us to live our lives. ALLAH Ta'ala states in HIS Revelation to mankind (The Quran) that: "I did not create the Jinn, nor mankind, except to worship ME."  [Quran 51:56]. Ibaadah: worship in Islam is to love ALLAH our creator the most love with most humility, it also involves hope, fear, trust, gratitude, ........etc. Imam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said, "Ibaadah is a collective term for everything that ALLAH loves and is pleased with from amongst sayings and inward and outward actions."  Ibaadah is obedience to ALLAH by carrying out what HE has commanded through tongues of HIS Messengers. Imam Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah) also said:  "And 'ibaadah is obedience to ALLAH by acting upon what HE commands, and abandoning what HE forbids; and this is the reality and essence of Islaam. And the meaning of Islaam is: istislaam (submission and surrender) to ALLAH - the Most High - along with the utmost compliance, humility, and submissiveness to HIM."  He also said whilst explaining the above aayah: "Indeed ALLAH - the Most High - created the creation so that they could worship HIM alone, without associating any partner with HIM. Whoever obeys HIM will be completely rewarded, whereas whoever disobeys HIM would be punished with a severe punishment. And HE has informed that HE is neither dependant, nor does HE have any need for them. Rather, it is we who are in dire need of HIM, in every condition and circumstance, since HE is the ONE and ONLY who created, sustains, and provides for us."[Tafseerul-Qur'aanil-'Adtheem (7/402)]. Alhamdulillah for HIS favour on us. Let's solely rely on HIM without going to any fortune tellers, pastors etc as they are all evil jinns agents who will buy your soul from ALLAH into hell fire. May ALLAH (Al-Haadi, The Guide) keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. 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, ...

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.

Rasullulah(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said “Be mindful of ALLAH, and ALLAH will protect you. Be m...
