THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 15th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1440, (Thursday, 22nd November, 2018). TAQWA (CONSCIOUSNESS OF ALLAH) IS OUR TOPIC TODAY. Bismillah Taqwa or Consciousness of ALLAH (Al-Khaaliq, The Creator), is one of the most important concepts found in the Qur’an and sunnah (teachings of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam). It could be described as the foundation of the religion. It has been the command of ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic) for all of the Messengers from Aadam to Jesus Christ Peace be upon them then to the final MESSENGER Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam: ALLAH says in the Qur'an; “To ALLAH belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth. ALLAH ADVISED or Commanded the people of the Scripture(Jews and Christians) *BEFORE YOU * and you also [O Muslims] to have taqwa of ALLAH [CONSCIOUSNESS of ALLAH and keep your duty to Him].” (Surah al-Nisaa:131). ALLAH (Al-Hamid, The All Praiseworthy) informs us about the happy people and what HE has prepared for them of esteem, and eternal pleasure. A6llah says in Qur'an 75:31 going, [إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازاً ] (Verily, for those who have Taqwa, there will be a success;) Ibn `Abbas said, "A place of enjoyable recreation.'' [حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـباً - وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَاباً ] (And vineyards, and Kawa`ib Atrab,) meaning, wide-eyed maidens with fully developed breasts. Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and others have said, (Kawa`ib) "This means round breasts. They meant by this that the breasts of these girls will be fully rounded and not sagging, because they will be virgins, equal in age. This means that they will only have one age.'' [وَكَأْساً دِهَاقاً ] (And a cup Dihaq.) Ibn `Abbas said, "Continuously filled.'' (Dihaq) "This means completely filled.'' Then ALLAH says, [لاَّ يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْواً وَلاَ كِذَباً ] (No Laghw shall they hear therein, nor lying;) meaning, there will not be any vain, worthless speech therein, nor any sinful lying. Rather, it will be the abode of peace, and everything that is in it will be free of any shortcomings. Allah then says, [جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَاباً ] (Rewarded from your Lord with a sufficient gift.) meaning, `this that We have mentioned to you is what ALLAH will reward them with, and they will be given it by HIS favor and from HIM. It will be a kindness, mercy, gift, and recompense from Him. It will be sufficient, suitable, comprehensive and abundant. Let's note that Whoever wants a companion, ALLAH is enough for him! Whoever wants a proof, Quran is enough for him! Whoever wants a warning, death is enough for him! Whoever wants wealth, contentment is enough for him! And whoever these are not enough for, then hell fire will be enough for such person." May ALLAH forbid. May ALLAH (Al-Walee, The Protecting Friend, Patron and Helper) protect us from the torment of the hellfire and punishment of the grave and keep guiding our faith in HIM till we meet HIM in Jannat. 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...
