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.

BismilLah.  As Muslims we must always learn and implement actions that can earn us the Pleasure of ALLAH our CREATOR in return for HIS Paradise awaiting HIS sincere servants.  Some of the things that can get us closer to ALLAH are , fasting regularly, Obedience to ALLAH, HIS Messenger, Our Parents etc. following funeral procession of a Muslim, feeding poor people, visiting sick people regularly etc.  Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu 'anhu) reported, that ALLAH'S Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: “Who is fasting today?” Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have.

 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...

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.

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.
