THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-thalaatha, 27th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1440, (Monday, 4th December, 2018). DO NOT LIE EVEN IN JOKES. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Lying is a satanic tool that only damages our blessings from ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic). The blessings and guidance of ALLAH is already in abundance setup by ALLAH just like we have electricity in our homes but been regulated by a switch. We just need to switch the blessings of ALLAH through good deeds, truthfulness etc. Let's pick an incidence in the Quran to know the seriousness of lying even if through jokes. The opening verses of suurat al-Taḥrīm describe an incident in which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prohibited himself from something in order to please his wives. It has been authentically narrated on the authority of Aaisha, may ALLAH be pleased with her, that the Prophet prohibited himself from drinking honey to please his wives. Our mothers Aaisha and Hafsat may ALLAH be pleased with them were upset that the Prophet was spending more time with his wife our mother Zainab bint Jahsh on account of a honey drink she would serve him, so they secretly agreed to pretend to be offended by the odor. The Prophet did not want to offend his wives, so he swore an oath never to drink it again. ALLAH revealed the verses telling the Prophet not to prohibit what is lawful. Aaisha r.a herself reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would spend time with his wife Zainab bint Jahsh and he would drink a concoction of honey. Hafsa and I agreed that whomever the Prophet visited first, we would say, “I notice a strong odor of mimosa gum on you.” The Prophet visited one of them and she said this to him, so the Prophet said: بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ وَلَنْ أَعُودَ لَهُ I have taken a honey drink at Zainab’s house and I will not do it again. The verse was revealed: لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ Why do you forbid yourself from what ALLAH has made lawful for you? (66:1). Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1474. From this incidence, we've noticed, they were joking and trying to create fun in their marriage not in reality to cause any problems but ALLAH had to reveal a verse to reveal to the Prophet that it was not a true incidence. Let's avoid any jokes that contains lies if indeed we want to be true believers. May ALLAH(Al-Haadi, The Guide) keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen. Please accept my apologies for the delay as I was busy on a test and was successful Alhamdulillah.

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...
