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.

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...

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...
